Stephanie's On Newbury - Boston

We used to dine at Stephanie's frequently when we lived in Boston over ten years ago. We recently revisited the restaurant after all this time, only to find that it has turned into a typical tourist trap. The food was subpar and the service was unsatisfactory. Our server wrongly accused us of ordering incorrectly on two separate occasions, leading us to correct what was brought to our table. The clam chowder seemed stale and tasted like it had been left under a heat lamp for too long. Additionally, our over-easy egg had raw egg white all over the plate, and the waiter insisted that was how we requested it. The interior of the restaurant was rundown, dated, and dimly lit, with music more suitable for a frat party than a dining establishment. It was, without a doubt, the most disappointing meal we had during our entire week, which even included a revolting sandwich from a rest area on the Mass Pike.

The food at this restaurant was fantastic! Everything we ordered was delicious. The drinks were also top-notch. The service was excellent. I highly recommend this place!

Very comfortable in the way the restaurant is handling the pandemic. Of course, we could eat outside so not sure about inside. Nonetheless servers were excellent as was the meal. Even though we were told there would be a limit on the table we never felt rushed or uncomfortable

We were here on a rainy day during the pandemic. We had made a reservation for outside but it could not happen and thankfully there were available tables inside. We had a nice table looking out onto Newbury Street and diners were very separated. Our waiter was wonderful and the food was very good. I miss the Nicoise salad that Stephanie’s always had in the past

Our waitress did not even tell us her name. Apparently, the restaurant was out of allll whiskey, and only had coors light and bud light for beer. When asked about appetizers and COVID regulations, we had to order a certain amount but French fries and cheesy cornbread (which we had wanted) did not count. For the value, the experience was awful
