Shawmut Inn

“This restaurant brings cozy NYC vibes to the heart of Boston — charming, intimate, and full of character. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it the ideal spot for a relaxed evening out. The drinks were exceptional — bartender Peter crafted some truly incredible cocktails with great attention to detail. The food was just as impressive; the brick chicken was perfectly cooked and full of flavor, and the gluten-free shrimp starter was a standout. A wonderful dining experience from start to finish — I’ll definitely be returning!”

“Had a superb dining experience here and could not recommend more! Our waitress Therese was kind, knowledgeable, and made us feel like family. Her warm energy made us feel right at home. The food was to die for! We will definitely be coming back:)”

“Came on a beautiful summer night for dinner. We had the tuna crudo, Caesar salad, and malfadini with lobster. It was all perfectly executed and delicious. The staff was also perfectly attentive and welcoming. Vibe (outside) was serene. Hard to beat this location.”

“The Shawmut Inn is a welcome addition to this part of the South End. The staff are incredibly friendly and treat you like regulars off the bat. Their pasta dishes are fantastic. We went in the summer and they built a cute patio with wood tables and table lamps as an extra touch. Highly recommend!”

“We just had an exceptional meal at the Shawnut Inn. The vibe is nice, neighborhoody and cosy. Our service by Michaela was A+,…friendly, informative, attentive and helpful. She made us feel welcomed and taken care of. The food was also exceptional. We started with the shrimp and the mussels. The shrimp were large, tempura fried with a delicious black garlic aoli. Simple but elevated. The mussels were also excellent, served out of the shells in a delicious smooth, rich green curry sauce with perfect toast points. We also tried the lobster fra diablo pasta, which was very rich, a little spicy and had a great balance of pasta, lobster, Calabrian chili ragu and a little crunch of toasted panko. Finally we tried the sea bass which was perfectly cooked and was so well balanced with fresh corn pure and some whole kernels. We felt like everything we tried was thoughtfully prepared by a chef who was talented and experienced. We live in the neighborhood and are happy to have a new place that makes us want to return. Well done and congratulations to the whole team. Added 9/21/24: Been here 6 more times and tried brunch today. The quality is outstanding. Everything was fresh, unique, well-composed in flavor, texture, taste and presentation. Everything here is somehow familiar while being completely unique. At brunch we tried the delicious savory shortrib with beef fat hash, the perfectly fresh and well balanced crab Benedict, the unique Johnny cakes,(like an elevated scallion pancake. The cauliflower rice dish was nice with a little spice and Thai flavor… and The waffles were the perfect sweet bite for us to split as a dessert. Well done chef Quang, server Michaela, and the whole team!”
