My hudband and I found Out of the Woods as we were on our way to a concert & decided to check it out. Now we can't wait to go back! The best food that we've had in greater Boston, including Boston itself, and the best duck I've had since living in New Orleans back in 2003. Highly recommend!

Had dinner there with a friend before we went to the palace theater. we go there every time, it’s become a tradition. They never pressure us to rush. We have all the time that we need. We love sitting at one of the small round tables near the window because we have a little more space, are out-of-the-way and can have private conversations. we order multiple appetizers and they are phenomenal! from the bread and the cheese to the meatballs to the fries the chicken tenders and even sharing a burger, everything is delish! service is awesome.

I rarely leave reviews, but I had to for this. I ordered the filet mignon with caramelized onions, green beans, and a twice-baked potato. This meal was a 10/10 and cooked to perfection! No offense to the "other" restaurant in the area... but Tomahawk is officially our NEW go-to steakhouse!

We sat at the bar, the service was excellent, the staff is friendly and attentive. We started with the Rhide island oysters and a clam cake, fresh, bright and delicious! We had fried clams and the swordfish special. The food was cooked perfectly and was hot and delicious! It was fun to sit at the bar and watch the chef cook! We love Captain mardens, check out the fish market too I can't praise the quality and staff enough!
