Ledge is a neighborhood restaurant and bar situated on the former site of Donovan?s Village Tavern, which was a dusty Irish-styled local favorite for decades. There?s no doubt that the switch in 2009 gave Dorchester?s quaint Lower Mills section a nightlife boost, with a trendy bar menu that hits all the bases, from a pulled free-range chicken grilled flatbread pizza to braised short rib arancini. Without being flashy or overstating the case, Ledge offers the opportunity to kick up those heels with a cocktail or two. The decor is discreetly neutral, with an exposed stone inlay, and the menu is casual American with cheeky touches like lobster mac ?n? cheese. Despite the stylish upgrade, Ledge hasn?t forsaken its neighborhood bar roots, offering plenty of flatscreen TV comfort, too.

The Inside Scoop

  1. When to Go - The bar gets noisy at weekends, so if a quieter dinner is required, go early or ask for a table away from the bar area.
  2. The Extras - A kids' menu includes grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken fingers, yet with the luxury of handcut fries.
  3. Where to Sit - When the weather allows, head for the large patio or the outdoor bar.

Ledge Kitchen and Drinks is ok

by Beth C. | insider Insider | Rank: 27,141

To be honest, I'd go to the bar again, but probably not to eat. My steak was burnt on the outside and bright pink on the inside. When we complained, they said we ordered it wrong. I was unaware that the universal understanding for 'medium-well' had changed. The crabcakes were great and the drinks were delish but probably not get dinner there again.

Great addition to the neighborhood

by Steve B. | insider Insider | Rank: 29,188

The Ledge is awesome. Great food, good wine, etc etc. Not really uppity like other new places in Dot (read: Ashmont Grill, Tavolo), Ledge maintains a neighborhood feel and is a great place to get drinks after work or watch a game. Definitely a welcome addition to the neighborhood!

Ledge Kitchen and Drinks is delicious!

by Katie G. | insider Insider | Rank: 13,492

I truly enjoyed the outdoor patio. The sangria was fabulous and I had the scallops for dinner. They were also amazing. I was very crowded but I think that is because the neighborhood is thrilled to have a new place to eat at!

by KFITZ

what a hiddne gem!! Stumbled upon the Ledge when driving through Dorchester...they have one the best outdoor seating areas (complete with a bar) that I have seen in Boston. Food was excellent as well. I got a pizza and very much enjoyed it. Service was excellent and they have a great beers on tap as well. I would highly recommend the Ledge, you won't be dissapointed.

Pros: atmosphere, food, service

Cons: nothing
