I admit it, I am a food snob. I love places like B&G where you can get tastes of really fine dining for decent prices, so I was real happy when I heard through word of mouth (and then from looking here on citysearch) that there was a place like that right next door to my house. I have visited 3 times already and each time in the last month and a half, which says a lot considering I normally am not a fan of bar-like environments. With that said, the bar-like environment of Washington Square Tavern is more from the crowd than the dining area; the dining area is nicely designed with gleaming wood and earthy tones that definitely make one feel comfortable.
Pros: Best crab cake appetizer ever! Friendly service.
Cons: Can get crowded; Brookline prices, but still worth it!
