ANOTHER spectacular visit to North Street Grille. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this gem. The food (and drinks) is exceptional, the atmosphere genuine and welcoming, the service impeccable. Worth the wait if you don't make a reservation in advance, and worth the time to make a reservation as soon as you know you'll be in the vicinity!

Server was wonderful, food was terrific. However, I had someone in a wheelchair and the staff offered no assistance in opening the doors, where to put the wheelchair, and when I was having trouble, no one offered any help. I’m wondering if this is standard practice or just sheer disregard. I thought it important to mention.

South Boston

About the restaurant

Amrheins has been a Boston tradition since 1890. For over a century, diners throughout the city of Boston have been welcomed into Amrheins to enjoy quality meals amongst friends and neighbors. Today that tradition continues in our updated facility. Despite the renovations in 2005, Amrheins is still full of history. Amrheins is the proud home of the oldest hand carved bar in America and still has the first Draft Beer pump in Boston on display. But what really makes Amrheins special is its dedication to quality cuisine and superior service. We hope that you join us again soon.

Terrific staff, food and reasonable cost made this Sunday brunch special !! The personable and professional hostess and server were special and made the whole experience the best. The food was hot and tasty without any complaints from our party of very particular diners.Not only did our server check to see that our beverages were full; the wonderful hostess Alli came by to see if she could do anything to help make our dining experience be better. She was just so pleasant and caring. Go to the Mad Hatter for an outstanding dining experience.
