    Just popped in for a drink after getting my nails done with my daughter, I was visiting her because she just got confirmed. #YayMia. The bartender gave excellent customer service. The ambience is very chill.

    We stumbled across this outstanding find while strolling the streets of Boston. Great service, unique tastes (TRY THE BANANA PANCAKES!) and modern ambiance. Would definitely return!

    Service was sketchy -- waitress took order, but didn't check in -- twice we had to ask another server to get our waitress. Extensive menu - breakfast and lunch/dinner options. We opted for lunch fare. The Mediterranean grain bowl didn't look like much food when served, but it was surprisingly filling. The skillet cornbread and steak rolls were very good.

    Another great meal here. Friendly and attentive servers. We shared some cornbread (the best!)- she had a salad with grilled chicken and I had grilled cheese with tomato soup. Everything was fantastic. So many great menu options.

    Place was pretty empty at 2:00 pm so was worried but was great...Nina greeted us and was awesome. We got 3 apps and they were all great. The place is well decorated. My wife loved the clams had lobster bisque broth and bread was very good. Would absolutely return.

    I thought I would give them another try because I did not have the best experience during my first visit. Sadly, the service is just as inconsistent and poor as what most people have described as well as as what I experienced during my first visit. Again, the food was good with a lot of creative touches. I had requested two additional proteins, including duck, and Salmon and specifically requested that it would be just seared while being very rare. Unfortunately, as you can tell from the photo, it was cooked medium, which tends to make salmon dry. Fortunately, they replaced it, and it was much better. My issue is the server who attended to us just seemed very disorganized and truly did not seem to enjoy what she was doing. She almost seemed reluctant to even talk to people. We waited for a while for her to even come around and had to flag her down. She would tend to walk by and look the other way just as she was passing her tables. We eventually found another server who would get her attention. She never came by to refill our waters until we requested it. Another server eventually gave us a large bottle of water which I think was protocol. The server who eventually replaced her was much much better and seemed much more professional. However, our original server eventually came back and just seemed very apathetic. Needless to stay, we did not tip her at all. Not sure how they can stay in business with such poor and inconsistent service. I don't care how good the food is when service is lacking.

    Nachos
    Stephanie T.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Food was decent but depended on what you got. I really enjoyed the potato gnocchi with truffle parm sauce, the nachos were above average from what I expected from restaurant nachos, and my pork belly tacos were very delicious, despite my hesitation of watermelon in a taco. However, my friends' who'd ordered beef had both of their dishes overcooked from how they'd asked them to be prepared (the medium rare was close to medium/medium well, while the medium well was just well done). The service was a tad slow, we had a reservation and they still took a bit to get us seated. Our server took a while to get to us and wasn't able to read her own handwriting, so she had to come back and ask what we ordered again. In their defense, there was a massive party being served inside, and I'm glad she asked us over getting our food wrong, but the restaurant was otherwise empty. Ambiance inside was very nice, the bar was long and had plenty of seating. We sat outdoors because of the nice weather and they were just plastic picnic benches but it was clean and comfortable. Overall good experience, nothing notable but I enjoyed my food and I would go back.

    Strawberry Orange Berry Nojito
    Cindy L.

    Cute place. The servers were extremely friendly and the food was enjoyable! I absolutely love the respective menus for mocktails and eggs Benedict, the two things I get most excited to see on a menu. The Strawberry Orange Berry Nojito was nice and light. I wanted something flavorful but wasn't in the mood for ham so the variety of options for eggs Benedict were exciting. I chose the eggs Benedict with pulled pork. A good decision! It was an adjustment to have pulled pork without the moisture and flavor from the BBQ sauce that it is typically prepare with, but who knew eggs went well with pulled pork? I thought it was an interesting take on a favorite. I am extremely picky about hollandaise and this one was not bad but not outstanding. What I hate most is when hollandaise has an overwhelming amount of lemon in it and this one did not commit that crime. Just a little bit bland but not egregious. The potatoes were very well seasoned. The croissant French toast was great, texturally balanced. Nothing I hate more than a soggy French toast and this one had no sogginess. I only wished for some fruit or whipped cream personally. Pros: creative and fresh menu options, friendly staff Cons: lacking intensity in the flavor department (only slightly!)

    Vegetarian menu
    Sasi M.

    We came here with little kids and the crew accommodated our needs very well. The food was very good. Combined with decent drinks and a good vibe, it made for a great evening. A good hangout spot if you're in the neighborhood. They also have a dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu, which worked out well for folks in our crew.

    Tuna Poke Bowl

    Excellent Tuna Poke Bowl $22.00. Fresh tuna with a refreshing citrus flavor profile. Seaweed was also very good but the star is the crispy/sticky rice cake underneath. I would definitely order again. I might ask for a little sesame oil to drizzle over the top.

We were seated in a high top across from the bar. Our server, Hannah, was pleasant and cordial. My wife ordered the southwestern salad and I ordered a burger with a $2 upgrade to make the tater tots "garlic". Her salad comes and is much smaller than expected for $18. My burger came and I ordered it medium rare and it was well done. I sent it back to be refired to the proper temp and while I waited I ate the tater tots. I expected a $2 upcharge to be at least fresh garlic but it was garlic powder. On top of that, when I finished the tots(before the second burger) there was a pool of oil at the bottom of the basket plus 2 pools that leaked onto the table. The refired burger came back via a food runner, not a manager, and this burger was also not medium rare but I was hungry so I ate it. When we let Hannah know about the out l oil she explained that they regularly are cleaning up oil and not to worry about it. I'll be going to the Muffin House down the road from now on. You should also.

I ordered the butter scotch-vanilla infused Woodward old fashioned. My husband ordered a regular one. I did taste something different but I hadn't actually seen her put the vanilla woodford or butterscotch in the drink. So I kindly asked, she told me yes and I kept drinking it. My husband and I moved to the smaller table by the window and about 10 minutes later I hear the main bartender complaining that I even asked about the butterscotch. He said he was so powerful and was completely annoyed. I honestly was shocked because I didn't return the drink or even push it any further. It was obvious that he doesn't like his job and maybe needs to try and different industry. He's given a male Karen and hospitality isn't it. I attached a picture for reference.

ANYWHERE. $26.75 for a barely two ounce pour of McCallan whisky beats even the prices at five star restaurants in most major cities. Lessor whisky's were equally priced high. Too complicate things, when our party opted to not pay outrageous prices, we decided to try cocktails, which were on average $18.00 apiece. Let's just say that this bar used cheap liquor and that the bartenders were just winging it. Nothing tasted as it should have, particularly at those prices. It's unfortunate that this Westin Hotel, which by the way, is a very fine hotel with impeccable service and staff, has this bar concession. It's the only negative thing about the Westin.
