I visited here while attending a conference. It seems rate is pretty low, so i did not intend to come here, but i was just too hungry and chose the closest one. Maria was very friendly and quick, we felt like we were welcomed here. We ordered two kids menus, cod reuben, chicken sandwich, salad (forgot the name). Honestly.... All super tasty! Cod reuben was my favorite of all. I am not sure why rate here was low but i was very satisfied with service of staff, and food quality. I would visit again for sure .) read more

We were seated quickly, had great service, and enjoyed the food! It is loud inside, but we enjoyed the seating. We had their pickle jalapeno dip (soooo good), the fish tacos (as someone who doesn't love fish, these were AMAZING), their mocktail was not my favorite, but my hubby loved his honey whiskey old fashioned, fries, and Caesar salad were standard and good too. We enjoyed it! read more

We stopped by to have a drink at the bar and ended up ordering a couple of apps. The pimento cheese dip and house-made chips were awesome. My family ordered the pretzels and cheese dip but I didn't try those - they enjoyed them tho. We came here cause they have Downeast Cider on draft - it was delicious. Service was fast and friendly and it wasn't too busy. They even have outdoor seating. They also had the World Cup playing on their TVs which my hubby appreciated. I would def. come back. Next time you're in the area, check it out for yourself. read more

It's convenient when staying in the Westin. Service and food were average. Poutine was really not poutine - tater tots with a cheese sauce is not fries with cheese curds. read more

Well, the 3-star rating is right on point for the current overall rating for this restaurant. It's located inside of the Westin Hotel, therefore, it was a convenient option for lunch. The food was okay... the side salad was very bare; mainly just arugula. The wings tasted like warmed up grocery store wings. I didn't expect much but, for the price of the food $16-$40 for everything, they should offer better quality. The service was good. The waiters were friendly and quick. It's a nice bar environment. read more

Great appetizers! Convenient in hotel ! Would definitely eat there again. Great service!

I wasn't particularly impressed with MJ O'Connor's. I ate lunch here one day during a conference and my salad without added protein and a water came to $25. I left over half of it behind because whatever vinaigrette they're making for the kiwi salad is so acidic, it burnt my mouth. Very disappointing overall. read more

MJ O'Connor's is located in the lobby of the Westin Hotel Seaport, and their menu is simply delightful! You'll find a wonderful selection of New England favorites, such as that award-winning clam chowder. The prices are fair and not too different from what you'd pay outside the hotel. The service is top-notch, with dishes arriving right when you want them. And, they even give you complimentary rolls, which are served hot with whipped butter. It has a sports bar feel, but is enjoyable for everyone. read more

I initially thought this place was just another hotel bar but the food here truly hits the spot. Came here after checking out my room for a last minute brunch. My friends and I wanted one last taste of Boston and shared the Lamb Meatballs, Lobster Rolls as a table. I do wish the meatballs were a bit larger. For my entree I had the Po Boy and a mimosa. The restaurant gives a lowkey vibe that would be good for both dinner and/ or lunch. Service was quick and we were lucky enough to be seated upon walk in. The place was packed! 10 out of 10 recommend. read more

MJ's, home of the BEST clam chowder ever!! I was on the hunt for a good clam chowder while I was out in Boston, and who would've imagined that the restaurant connected to the lobby of my hotel would have it?! I would come back to visit solely for the clam chowder, and the amazing service of course too! ! read more

Located off the Westin Seaport lobby, it was very busy on a rainy, chilly night in May. We were told there was a 45-minute wait, so we listed our name/number and headed around to its backside bar. No places there either, but Pam, the barmaster waved us over to where a couple was paying and ready to leave. We'd only intended to have a drink while we waited for our table, but ended up eating at the bar. The fish and chips were amazing...I think the haddock had just been caught - it was so fresh and perfectly prepared. My husband chose the haddock reuben....different but good. What made the evening special, was Pam...wonderful personality and amazing to watch handle the bar. read more

Surprisingly really good food for a sports bar. I recommend the fish tacos, the short rib poutine and obviously a juicy burger. The place is next to the convention center so it can be quite busy during events read more

Stopped here for dinner after a conference. Put my name in to sit and was told a 20-minute wait. After maybe 5 minutes, we were able to be seated. The atmosphere was fair, with a kind of cabin cozy vibes. The waiter was quick to arrive, as was the food. The calamari was fair and arrived at almost room temperature. The meal arrived at a similar temperature. Even the dessert arrived at a similar temperature. However, it had a burnt flavoring to it. Both desserts tasted like they had been reheated multiple times, which was really disappointing. read more

This is a bar/restaurant that is attached to the Westin hotel. There is an entrance to it from the hotel lobby. When you walk in from this direction you go into what I guess is the back bar area. They have a nice bar area with tables and some booths and tvs to watch sports. And the front area of the bar has a bigger bar area with some more tvs and plenty of seating. I think there are a few outdoor tables too or only in the warmer months there may be. I did pick up and had a 20.00 voucher card since I was a guest at the hotel. No one told me and it did not say on the card that the voucher could not be used on take out orders. When I asked the guy if there was any possible way he said no but he would call someone, I guess his manager to ask and they also said no. I was pretty bummed. Oh well I guess I can use it next time I am in town. The food was your standard Irish bar/ restaurant type. I did not know what I was in the mood for so, I got mac and cheese with toasted ritz crackers on top, watermelon with feta, cucumber and basil salad and beer battered chicken tenders. The mac and cheese I liked the best. It was a bit cheesy, watery but it still tasted good. The salad had too much feta for my liking, not enough basil and the chicken tenders were very crispy which was fine with me as I think I asked for them to be but a bit too crispy and fried. I did not try anything else or have any drinks here. They have two locations of this place. I have not been to the other one before, but if I had to guess it would be like this one. I will say, it is not like you're missing out in much if you end up not being able to make it here to try this place out. But, if you are in this area of the seaport it's an on spot. read more

Maria was such a cheery and wonderful server! Love that she was excited about us visiting Boston and made us feel welcome. Now on to the food ... this was the absolute best clam chowder I've ever had in my life. Peeled potatoes, clam was tender and the silky, yet hearty texture of the of the soup made me wish for a never ending bowl. MUST TRY this award wining bowl of chowder. Now for the burger; unfortunately the bourbon braised onions were unpalatably salty, and the burger was clearly medium rare and not cooked medium as requested. Once I removed the onions, the remainder of the burger was good but nothing can compare when sitting next to world famous chowder, that I will be back for. Thanks again, Maria! read more

Food was very good and take out was processed quickly. I would eat there again, next time I'm in Boston.

I stopped in here today to grab a quick bite during a conference at the adjacent convention center. It was still the work day, so I abstained from any adult beverages, though the beer list was intriguing. I ordered the fish tacos and a bowl of the chowder. Both were excellent! The chowder had plenty of clams and none of the flour thickener too many places use to stretch their chowder. I loved the level of heat in the tacos--my lips are still burning a little bit! read more

I had a fantastic experience today. The service was impeccable and our server, Leo, was the goat and incredibly friendly. We ordered the pretzels as a starter and I must say, they were absolutely delicious. The waiting time was surprisingly short and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was comfortable and inviting. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience. (If anyone cares I wore a grey jacket to this location) read more

The service was horrible. I waited 12 minutes to even get a glass of water. I ordered the honey chicken thigh sandwich. It was greasy and cold, so were the fries. read more

At here twice for a convention. The restaurant is strange on the inside with two bar areas and seating areas. They shut down the large side in the middle of the day so there was a wait time on the small side. Just odd. The wait staff was excellent. The food was very good. The lobster roll was terrific. The Caesar salad with steak tips were delicious. The pretzel app was good. I recommend going here. read more

Located inside the Westin Hotel. Nice Irish Pub atmosphere. We asked for a booth since our backs were sore from the five hour plane ride. Very accomodating with the request. We started off with the clam chowder. Great chowder with lots of clam bites and potato. It came with crackers, but sone sourdough with it would have been awesome. For our main we had the honey chili salmon and a pineapple salsa with fingerling potatoes and grilled asparagus. Nice size portions and big enough for two to split. read more

We came here for a quick bite since we had coupons from our hotel. First off, this place was incredibly understaffed - I felt bad. There was one server working the whole restaurant for lunch time. Most people were at the bar, but it was hard to get a hold of the server. The inside is woody and warm like a true Irish pub. It has plenty of tvs for if you want to watch a game. I ordered the salmon tartare, and was disappointed when I was met with a stack of flavorless salmon. When the description read that it had soy sauce, I was hoping it was marinated in it - but it was just little pearls. I ate about 1/4 of it until I couldn't eat any more. My boyfriend got chicken tenders, which were good but nothing special. It was just a decent meal. Overall, it was an ok experience. read more

I landed in Boston on a Tuesday evening, and conveniently, this restaurant is situated in the hotel I was lodging. Upon check-in at the hotel, the concierge generously provided a coupon to dine at MJ O'Connor's. The restaurant gave a casual and bar/pub vibe. I ordered the clam chowder and the cheeseburger with fries. The clam chowder was warm, tasty, thick, and creamy as you would expect from a chowder. The cheeseburger was well-seasoned and tasty but the fries were cold and old. Service here was slow and the staff was not very attentive. read more

For those who don't know like us, this restaurant is part of the Westin Hotel. The 3rd time was the charm for us finding it and it was worth it. Blood Orange Margarita and Lychee Martini(I asked for him in mine). Yummy Boston Chopped Salad and Boston Lager Fish and Chips. Both were great. I would say the fish and chips could have had more fish for the price. The manager and staff were great and they gave us a free dessert for our anniversary. read more

The tartar sauce saves this from being a 2-star review. The clam chowder was tasty, but rubbery and an odd consistency. The fish and chips were ok, the fish was decent, but the frozen fries were garbage. The tartar sauce saved the dish! Also don't order a bowl of soup. We ordered a bowl and a cup... ate the cup, poured the bowl in the cup (take out portions) and the volume was 98% the same! Scam! We ate out because the main room was full and very loud. The staff handled the take out order well. Will be checking out other eateries while in Boston. read more

went to this location at inside the Weston hotel. 3 times so far before the Laugh Boston comedy show. the cobb salad with chicken and the house dressing is enough to make me go back evertime I'm there. not sure what is in the dressing but it is hand down the best salad ever. The burger has been cooked and delicious. all three burgers I've had. and don't get me started on that rum punch. absolutely perfect! this isn't just a simple Irish pub. it's amazing food. read more

My review is based on carry out order. My friend and I didn't want to wait for a table so we ordered food and returned to our room. We both loved our meals. The beet and goat cheese salad is what she had but had them put shrimp on it too. I got the chicken caprese sandwich which was absolutely yummy. Mine came with fries which were so so and I got small house salad too. The folks at front desk were nice. read more
