Durgin Park across from Quincy Market has been the place for chowders and hearty barmaids. This historic restaurant has been serving patrons of Boston since 1826, and has never slackened in exceptional service or quality home-style fare. It is with Bostonian pride they announce the best prime rib can be found at Durgin Park, but it's really not surprising. The tightly knit floor plan makes for a meal in characteristic Durgin Park style, and the prime rib has kept pace with its chowder bar none. Charcoal broiled in the open dining area, expect the chefs to don their aprons and bring a bit of Boston flavor to the table. The restaurant closes daily at 9 p.m.
