Not a fan of string lights in a place where cocktails average $18-$20 but that's just me. My Permission to be Candid was good, but not so good I'd order it again. My partner's Switchblade (subbed out gin with vodka since I'm allergic to Juniper) was also good, but I expected it taste more "green" with the cryo watermelon and absinthe in it. The candy cigarettes we were given after paying the tab were a cute touch. We had fun trying to blow smoke. Overall it's a nice spot to grab a drink. The menu (online only) is not very user friendly - this is coming from a retired UI/UX and web designer. Having to click back and forth to get to each category of drinks is crazy. Especially when the drinks are very unique and have a list of ingredients. A nice coated paper version (like large playing cards?) would be much appreciated.

Not great for larger groups. Definitely make a reservation in advance.

My order of yogurt with fruit and granola was fresh, filling and a yummy beginning to my day. My coffee was equally enjoyed, and note that it's $13 for each small coffee pot. Refills are not complimentary. I loved my window table on this rainy morning, and the lovely, cozy ambiance of The Street Bar. It's easy to see why this is such a sought after bar each evening.

We visited on January 11th, a few weeks prior to my wedding. This was a day I had planned for…read moremonths with my daughter and future stepdaughter, an important and meaningful occasion, and the experience fell significantly below expectations. In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.

The other couples during the seating were lovely as well. Things I loved: *pay in advance--you pay when you make the reservation so you can just leave at the end *the cocktails--among the best you can find in boston. You can taste the care that goes into the menu preparation. *the service--we had such a nice evening that flew by Things of note: *the seating goes by pretty fast--for the volume of alcohol (3.5 drinks), the 90ish minute seating is too short. We ended up having to drink faster than we wanted to *the bar snacks--while tasty, they were teeny tiny. See my photo of the banchan--meant to be shared among two people. I was anticipating slightly more volumous snacks All in all, I totally recommend this experience and would definitely go back

One small note: the restroom could use a refresh to match the rest of the space's cool theme, since the interior design is such a highlight everywhere else.
