Conveniently located in the heart of Downtown Crossing - but just removed from the hustle and bustle of the main drags - Kingston Station offers a modern take on traditional dishes in an old-world atmosphere. The mosaic and subway tiled dining room, adorned with antique mirrors, is reminiscent of a classic railway station. Mismatched tables and chairs add to the casual, comfortable atmosphere.

The menu of bistro cuisine is ideal whether you're looking for a place for an after-work pit stop, a low key dinner or a night out on the town. Guests can unwind at the bar or in the front café area, or relax in the dining room. Kingston Station is also an ideal spot to fuel up for an afternoon of perusing the area's local shops and historical landmarks or before heading to a show at the Boston Opera House or in the nearby Theater District.
