This is one of my favorite places in Boston. Jacob Wirth's is a one of the oldest restaurants in Boston and it's like stepping back in time when you walk up to the door. It's a perfect dinner and drinks place any night of the...More

So I'm English but grew up in Germany. This is supposed to be a German restaurant but falls a long way short. It is what the owners think a German restaurant should be but I think they should perhaps visit the country first. I had...More
