This is definitely one of my top Boston restaurants. The location is a bit off the beaten path. (A bit of a long walk from the rest of Seaport area.). The location is in a warehouse area. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and modern. (Recommend making reservation if coming on weekend.) The food and bar checks off all the boxes. Full craft cocktail menu, great wine list, and fair amount of beers on tap. Then the rotating menu always has some amazing choices. So far everything I've sampled off friends plates and things I've ordered have been amazing. Did a duck dish with it done 3 ways----soooo good. My only regret is I don't get to go here more often to sample all the new menus. Service also amazing. Perfect place for foodies or first date.

Staff were very accommodating for an outdoor patio reservation. They were very understanding even with part of our party running late. Food was consistently good, with our party of 6 satisfied. For 6 people we ordered 5 apps and small plates with 5 large plates. That was good for us but we took some home so could certainly order less. Overall food was good but does lean to feeling salty!

Loved it! Chickadee hosted my large party of 9, parties of 6+ I believe do their own Prix fixe menu where you basically choose 2 of each course so that's what we did. Honestly, every dish was fantastic, super fresh and bright. Lots of vegetarian options. Stars of the show were their heirloom tomatoes, beef carpaccio and lobster campanelle.... Wowie!! Also the service was fantastic and cool venue being in the design center.

I walked about 15 minutes to this place on a Wednesday evening. The place was busy but not too busy. The menu changes so what I read on Yelp is not actually available anymore. The fried chicken does come in smaller portions now but none of the biscuits. I sat at the bar. I started with an appetizer with the toasty bread. The homemade spread combined with strawberries were an interesting combo. I tried it and loved it. It's great for 2 people but I had both to myself. I then had the lobster carpanelle which was so damn good I ate every bit. Great portion size for one and probably could be shared if you ordered other plates. Service was fast. Bartender was chatty. I really liked this place.

We came here after a volleyball tournament nearby . It was late and we wanted to grab dinner with our son and this place came up as a suggestion. Book ahead as it can get crowded fast. Small place so seatings were close . We tried the dipping platter that comes with all the Mediterranean dips and some warm pita. It was delicious ! The carrot salad was really yummy . The presentation looked so pretty that I didn't want to ruin it by digging in :) . Overall a nice experience . Not a lot of vegetarian items to choose from other than salads of course .

I took a star off because we got seated at the worst table imaginable and the service wasn't that wonderful. Re the table. we couldn't see anything because we were behind a giant pole (see photo). And re the service, our waitress was fine - she was attentive but had no personality. It isn't the end of the world because we got everything we needed in a timely fashion but was just an odd experience. The food was good. We got the red wine radiatore pasta and the lobster campanelle pasta. We liked the radiatore better

I was in town for a conference in the Seaport and wanted to find an outstanding restaurant for my first meal. After reviewing several sites, plus Yelp, I selected Chickadee. What caught my attention was several of the principals had worked at Barbara Lynch's No 9 Park and Chickadee's amazing 4.5 score on Yelp. It's self-described as a New England-born and Mediterranean-inspired restaurant. There were plenty of reservations available mid-afternoon Tuesday on Resy, which I found surprising for a great restaurant. I selected a 6pm reservation. Having read an extensive review of Chickadee in Boston Magazine, I was ready to order quickly. I started with two signatures: the Smoked Sea Trout Dip and the Crispy Hen of the Woods. The Trout is buried under a layer of light hollandaise-like sauce. The Hen of the Woods mushrooms look like a crazy Bloomin' Onion atop a thick puree of potatoes, walnuts and garlic. Both were excellent and so unique. I was debating between the Spring Onion Spetzle or the Lobster Campanelle pasta. I asked Santiago, my server, which I should pick and he suggested the Lobster. He said the Lobster is somewhat spicy, with Calabrian chili. I asked for it to be served on the side. I can't put my finger on what I disliked about the pasta. It was bland. And the chili sauce was too spicy to be added. You'd think with lobster, it had to be good. I ate about a quarter of my plate and it just wasn't working for me. I set the dish aside and waited for Santiago's return. He asked me if I wanted to box it, and I said no. What I found odd is why he wouldn't have asked if there was an issue with the pasta. But since he didn't ask me, he'll need to read this review. After two amazing starters, I was disappointed with my entrée. As I walked out, the two managers thanked me for visiting, but didn't ask how my meal was. I don't know what would have happened if I told Santiago I didn't like the pasta. Ditto for the managers. Maybe they would have found some accommodation. Regardless, I tipped Santiago 20% and called it a night. I was in the restaurant for one hour.

Located in Drydock Seaport, its a bit of a Jaunt. We were staying in Seaport, and our walk was about 15m from the Aloft/Element area. For Celiacs, the Trout dip and Marinated Beets were winners. The Cheddar Biscuits are a must. I was underwhelmed by the Chickpea Fries. After reading reviews and people raving about them, I expected more I guess. They were smooth potato like filling that was fried. The sauce with them was excellent, but the fries themselves are not much without it. The lobster pasta was decent, but we had North End Ben Cottos the night before, and everyone agreed they would take the Gnocchi Bolognese over this pasta. We shared a nice bottle of 50/50 Viognier/Chardonnay, which went well with the food. Overall, it fell short of my expectations, but still a solid 4/5.

Great restaurant with cocktails, and some excellent items and some eh ones. Must order- Lobster pasta Squid ink pasta Chickpea fries Meh - Scallops Duck Hen of fries Even with these meh items the pastas were so amazing still highly recommend

All around amazing place! We definitely get why Chickadee is nominated for a James Beard award. We were seated as soon as we got there even though we were early for our reservation. The waitress was friendly, and accommodating. The chickpea panisse fries were the star of the show - such a unique and delicious menu item. The pasta was delicious, cooked al dente and both sauces were outstanding, especially the mushroom bolognese
