SJ’s Restaurant

SJ’s is a bistro on Atlantic Avenue in the Leather District, close to South Station. It serves lunch, dinner and brunch, with separate menus for each, so it works for more than an evening reservation. The drinks list includes cocktails, wine and beer, and the restaurant also offers online ordering for meals to take away.

Carrot cake gets particular attention here: you can order a whole homemade cake through the restaurant, which is useful if the occasion calls for more than a slice. SJ’s also has a tea-room offering and takes private-event inquiries. Check the relevant service when booking rather than assuming brunch or tea runs throughout the day. For a regular meal, the online reservation system lets you choose a table time.
