The Mission Bar & Grill

I came to mission b&g on a Saturday for brunch. The visuals of this restaurant are gorgeous. Effectively floor to ceiling windows with light pouring through.Our server was prompt and helpful. She also was nice enough to put a wedge under our wobbly table.For a drink I had the paper plane, a well balanced sourish bourbon cocktail that went down real easy. For brunch I had the vegetarian skillet. It needed a bit of salt, but that was readily available. The home fries on the bottom were well cooked and I appreciated the adornment with two fried eggs. Overall feeling great about this place and will definitely come back. Strong recommend!

Great dark wood but big ceilinged airy space with surprisingly good food. Had dinner with 3 friends we split the calamari and I had the steak and blue salad and paper plane cocktail.Cocktail was a really well done version.The calamari was good with 3 sauces and good spiced peppers but was a disappointingly small portion even for 1 person never mind 3.The steak and blue salad was exceptional - with perfectly cooked rare steak, blue cheese, greens, crunchy onion strips and ranch dressing. Added by friend avocado he didn't want and it was just perfect.

Tex Mex salad and it was light and refreshing. Great service for a quick lunch, was seated and served within 15 minutes of arrival.

I am on day 3 of a hunt for the best bowl of clam chowder in Boston. Today, we are at mission bar and grill and they delivered. This is a traditional American bar that honestly gave me a lot what I am asking for in a bowl of chowder. The ratio of potato to cream is perfect, allowing for a smooth, thiccc soup. My only complaint? There isn't enough clams for the play of textures of chunky potatoes, silky soup and chewy clam blending in my mouth. It is still a solid bowl though. So solid that I got another item in their menu to try - their shrimp scampi. While the dish is perfectly cooked and they knew how to use acidity to make it really pop the balance was unfortunately lacking. Will still be back for their chowder thk

A solid 4 stars! Came here with a big group celebration and split a bunch of apps, including their pretzel, nachos, and hash browns. Everything was great except I thought the guac in the nachos could have been more fresh. For an entree, I got their salmon, which was the highlight of the meal for me. The flavors were perfect - lemony and fresh, over a bed of rice and spinach. Felt both healthy and delicious. Some of my friends got drinks and seemed to enjoy them.The interior of the restaurant gives off old English pub vibes - dark and broody, while at the same time relaxed and neighborhood friendly. It's a nice casual spot to relax and grab some food and drink with friends.

I grew up literally around the corner from here but hadn't really been around Mission Hill as an adult, so my cousin and I decided to check this place out just for some drinks. I really liked the blackberry marg, and my cousin enjoyed the strawberry smash. The environment was lively and I liked the pubbish feel. Unfortunately the nachos were incredibly meh, not enough toppings, and too dry in my opinion, but we didn't try any of the other food so idk if I have enough info to have an opinion on that.

Rather a small number of drink selections. Typical pub food, typical pub ambience, but not too loud and relatively clean. Service was very good.

I try to treat myself twice a month to the salmon spinach and rice pilaf with a glass of strawberry basil smash

I used to love this place, I've been here so many times before over the years it was a hangout spot for good music, some food, served as the perfect hangover place to sit and watch the games but I'm not sure if it's covid or just new management but this place really changed for the worst. I recently visited here and as soon as I walked in I'm waiting at the door for at least 5 min, no one comes over, no one seats us, mind you the place isn't busy at all. Ok, no problem there. A few groups come in after us, they all get menus and their order taken (ok that makes sense they probably didn't realize I sat down), I flag down a waitress and she finally takes our order, messed the whole meal up (ok maybe she's just off her game, I'll be patient), then she never comes to check on us, not even once (like I'm thirsty can I get another drink?) so I go to the bar and order my own drink, now we're ready to go, she still doesn't check on us or look our way, sitting trying to flag her down for like 20 min cuz she's just off in the back somewhere she finally comes out and checks the table next to us and they're pissed because they were ready to leave too. Just an overall fail in my opinion. They changed for the worst

The cocktail selection is phenomenal. Really creative choices. The food and ambiance is also exactly what you'd expect/want from a local (and mildly upscale) pub.
