Charles River Bistro

With its tree-lined outdoor seating, a visitor to Charles River Bistro could be forgiven for thinking they're in Paris—if it wasn't for the fact that they're sitting just 100 feet from the Hatch Shell grass oval on the shore of the Charles River lagoon. Thanks to a total renovation in 2013, the bistro blends classic European flavors and atmosphere with a distinct modern American feel—and a few New England foods. Lobster rolls, pan-seared Norwegian salmon, and caramelized Georgia Bank scallops share menu space with more inland dishes such as local lamb and grilled steak. Weekend brunches, meanwhile, are set to a soundtrack of soul and jazz rather than the usual outdoor sounds of birds practicing for singing competitions. While Charles River Bistro offers in-house dining, it also specializes in catering, with vegetarian and vegan options available.

It was a chilly afternoon/evening when we ate here, but the folks at Charles River Bistro were very kind and conscientious in making it a pleasant time for us.

The food and service were excellent. It was fun. Since it was late in the season there were only two parties for dinner. It is a unique setting. Small bistro table outside under the trees. Good view of the river and lovely sunset. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

The food was wonderful, presentation and flavor was well beyond what we expected, and the chef accommodated a request to substitute a soup dish for my boyfriend and prepared a special dish of asparagus wrapped with prosciutto and mozzarella which was delicious. Service was very good as well. The outdoor seating however is limited and trying to schedule on a weekend summer night is frustrating though as many nights are blocked off for esplanade events, only 5 tables can be reserved and bad weather led to canceling our plans on 2 prior evenings. Adding a few more tables and some prettier table lighting or settings would be a positive step to making this a great outdoor dining experience! We look forward to giving it another try in the Spring.!
