Named after the state bird of Massachusetts, Chickadee is a New England born and Mediterranean inspired restaurant situated in the heart of Boston’s Innovation and Design Building. A collaboration between long time friends and industry veterans, Chef John daSilva and Ted Kilpatrick, we offer a seasonal menu highlighting ingredients from local farms, markets, and producers. Drawing inspiration from the kitchen, the beverage program offers a balance of cocktails along with a thoughtfully curated wine list and a selection of craft beers & ciders. We here at Chickadee are big on having fun, while maintaining a standard of excellence when it comes to the guest experience.
“Chickadee is a wonderful dining experience! This little gem is located in the cruise ship port area and easily accessible. Lovely ambiance and a great staff. I believe Angela was our server and she was a professional. Many of the menu items feature a Parsley-Dill-Mint herb combo that is absolutely delicious. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy. This place is perfect for sharing multiple plates. Come hungry and leave with a belly full of Mediterranean inspired cuisine!”
“Great tasteing food and drinks here. The pasta was great so many great flavors.the salid was tastey also. The dessert was so good too ill definitely be back. The manager and staff were very nice with great attitudes.”
“Dined in Dec 2025. I appreciated that this place did not try to be flashy with the selections, the presentations, the ambience, and service. Everything felt just right and comfortable. Enjoyed a peaceful family outing in a winter evening, when the area was not as crowded as in other seasons.”
“We ended up stopping in at Chickadee almost by accident, and ended up having one of the top three meals of my life. The service was attentive and friendly; our waitress Emily took outstanding care of us. And the food was just... I struggle to describe. Beautifully crafted, exquisite flavours, and every element worked both as an individual course and as part of the larger journey through the meal. Chickadee isn't cheap, but it is well worth the price and I definitely recommend it.”
“TLDR; amazing food, frustrating service. We did the pre fixe offering and it was sooo much food, so we were able to try a ton of items that were all fantastic. Every dish was incredibly well balanced and I look forward to our leftovers. I would highly recommend the squid ink fusilli and the truffle mafaldine. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. Our server was great and pretty attentive, but the back of house was clearly slammed since our meal took almost 2 hours. We got our first 2 courses quickly, but didn’t get our drinks until after. Then it took some time for our 3rd course (which was fine at first because I was starting to feel full), but then it took about a half hour for them to clear our plates and bring out dessert. They don’t have a restaurant week selection, but I am reminded to be careful about eating out during this time because of how chaotic it is at restaurants.”
