Rock and Restaurants Does Boston: Stephanie's on Newbury

Stephanie's on Newbury is a wonderful restaurant to dine at, especially on a summer evening. With great outdoor seating right on the corner of Newbury and Exeter Streets it's a prime spot for people watching. I love to go to Stephanie's for any meal, their Sunday brunch is also delicious!

I decided to start out with a bowl of their New England Clam Chowder. It was creamy and delicious, filled with a few extras that gives a classic dish a unique spin. The clam chowder was filled with clams and a few extras - prosciutto, bacon and potatoes - that gives a classic dish a unique spin. Fresh herbs added extra flavor to this tasty starter.


For my main course I opted for another seafood option because it's too hard to pass up fish during the summertime in New England. The Pan Roasted Native Cod was served in a bowl with corn chowder, potatoes and topped with buttermilk onion strings. The light taste of the delicious cod paired with a creamy chowder was great. I enjoy Stephanie's menu because they take something as simple as a white fish like cod and turn it into a unique comfort food dish with toppings like the onion strings and swimming in a tasty chowder. 


I highly recommend Stephanie's to any local Bostonians to stop by after a long day of shopping on Newbury St. or to any tourists visiting the city. Stephanie's takes comfort food to the next level (another menu option I've had in the past is homemade macaroni and cheese with prosciutto and truffle oil), in addition to having a great staff of hosts and waitstaff. I would advise that you make a reservation because there can be a wait, especially during peak weekend meal times, but that isn't hard to do because Stephanie's reservations can be found on OpenTable or by calling the restaurant. In the summer (and if the weather is nice in the fall or spring) the outdoor seating helps assuage longer wait times making it even easier to get a table!
