Excellent steakhouse, our third visit. The crab cake app was absolutely delicious and a highlight. Steak au poivre was perfectly cooked medium rare, and the bone marrow was amazing although almost overpoweringly beefy with the steak - I opted to spread it on some of their fresh baked rolls instead. We also had the skirt steak with avocado, which was good overall but it was a little salty. Polenta side was creamy and rich and the fried onions on top are addictive. You also cannot go wrong with any of the cocktails, and the service was attentive. Highly recommended!

Got the aged ribeye. One of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time. The service was great as well, very attentive. I am in a sling because of a shoulder surgery and the waiter offered to cut the steak without being asked. The restaurant is gorgeous as well. Definitely a nice place to bring people you care about. Had a great time!

The food was unexpectedly delicious. Everything was phenomenal!! We loved the crab cake so much! Dont miss out on the desserts, it was seriously delightful. The service was amazing, our waitress was just so lovely. Would definitely come back again.

The server was absolutely perfect. We were on a 2 top table to start and when a booth opened up we were given the choice to move a table over. Which we did! The food was absolutely perfect! The side were delicious! Desert and after dinner drinks recommended were spot on. Taylor the serve deserves all the recognition she can get!

One of my favorite steakhouses in MA. When I want to get of the city this is my go to spot. Very high quality steak for the price Great seafood and food appetizers. Can't go wrong here. Service is attentive and decent enough. The vibe is great too huge dining area that still managers to feel intimate. I highly recommend making the trek out here.

Classy ambience, excellent food and fun knowledgeable service. I had the crab cake and the best creamed spinach ever. Truffle polenta dish too. Loved it!

I took two of my friends on a Monday night in July. It was our first time there. The place was packed. We got a great booth. Food was excellent. The wait staff was friendly but a little inconsistent. We had the skirt steak, salmon and Ahi Tuna- all very good. Even though it was crowded we could carry on conversation easily. Good place for a business dinner.

We came again and tried more dishes on the menu. The quality of food and service continued to impress us. We had a reservation for Friday evening and were seated immediately. The server was friendly and helpful. The food was fresh, tasty, and with good presentation. We would strongly recommend this place, although it is on the higher end price wise.

Excellent lounge area with comfy seats (great place to people watch) and food was incredible. We split the beet salad, crab cakes, and the bone-in filet (complete with polenta and mushrooms for sides). Aesthetically pleasing on top of everything else.

This is a must try restaurant! The Bancroft is a fantastic experience for an upscale restaurant where you just want to be pampered. My culinary avengers team and I booked a reservation for an intimate birthday celebration. I loved the vibe of the place when we walked in. It is dark and clubby. A very intimate feeling space even though it is large and airy. You feel like you are in an old school country club here. The chairs are really comfortable, which is great when you are about to enjoy a delicious meal. Note to all: wear your comfy eating pants when you dine here. You will thank me later. Our server was named Parker. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and was attentive to our needs, putting up with our crazy ordering and food sensitivities. He was able to help us navigate ordering not just one meal, but several to make almost everything gluten and dairy free so we could share plates. Parker, thank you for putting up with us! He brought Parker House rolls in a cast iron pan to the table with butter on the side. I was good and did not ask for a second pan. For my GF ad DF friend he brought out a few pieces of toast and some olive oil with herbs for dipping. She was so happy and our gluten and dairy filled rolls were delicious! We started with cocktails. A peach-rosé sangria for me (dry rosé, Ketel One peach and orange blossom botanical, elderflower, apricot and orange liqueur, citrus). A Moscow mule for my newly legal friend (her first time getting carded!). I love the sangria. It was sweet, but not too and just really refreshing. She really liked her cocktail, but just wished it was a bit sweeter. Next up: Apps. Birthday girl loves steak tartare so we ordered that. The menu description is hand cut prime steak tartare with pickled shallots and violet mustard. I am not usually a steak tartare fan, but this converted me. It was so good. it was served with gluten and dairy free toast. Yum! Also served with the TINIEST cornichons that I have ever seen. We ordered a shrimp cocktail (iced tiger shrimp cocktail red + green cocktail sauce) to share. It was five GIANT shrimp that were fantastic and fresh. I loved all the horseradish in the cocktail sauce. So many places don't provide cocktail sauce with the right horseradish to ketchup ratio. Tablemates shared a baby romaine Caesar salad with white anchovies, Treviso cheese, a jammy egg and a very thinly sliced giant crouton. And now for dinner. I got the New York sirloin, mid rare with a horseradish and cracked black pepper cream sauce. Absolutely incredible. Perfectly cooked, tender and tasty. One friend got the 12 ounce filet mignon with a side of the smoked salt. This thing was the size of a grapefruit. It was served rare, as ordered. I got a taste and it was very tender, like eating butter. The texture was amazing but I always find filet mignon to not be flavorful. My other two table mates both ordered 28-day prime aged rib eye, one with a side of the garlic parsley butter. But of course, that's not all. We ordered a bag o' fries (with rosemary and house made ketchup) for the table. Thin cut fries that were perfectly crispy, hot from the fryer with rosemary and salt. We also ordered side of the roasted fingerling potatoes with garlic confit. The creamed leaf spinach topped with a fried local farm egg was delicious and just as good as leftovers the next day! To be healthy we also ordered the grilled asparagus. Since we were celebrating a birthday, we brought in a cake, but I must go back to try the coffee crème brulée with hazelnut shortbread and Frangelico Chantilly cream. We were thrilled with our experience at The Bancroft and will definitely be back for a business lunch or other birthday dinners!
