    Very disappointing hotel. We paid about $250 for the night there was no elevator and we were on the 3rd floor. I guess if you don't have luggage, then it's no big deal. However we had a 47 lb bag and a 26 lb bag since we were living out of our suitcases for a week. The other issue is that they had exposed wires throughout the hallway of the 3rd floor (pictures attached) and peeling paint. The bathroom was very nice (large shower only) however there was a piece of a bloody scab left on the bathrrom floor. At first glance, it looked like a bed bug (photo attached), but we did a thorough search of the premises, no bugs. Final issue was the heating system. They had circulating fans/heaters, but unfortunately no heat was emitted from these machines, only cold air. I suggested we call down to make sure we were doing it properly, but there wasn't a phone in the bedroom. At that momebt I was too cold to go check the living room and then I forgot. I suggested that we just call down with our cell phones, but the confirmation paper was in the car and by then MacGyver created warmth by using a hair dryer. On a positive time, there was an ocean view as promised. Also MacGyver went down for dinner and enjoyed her meal. Here's What I Think...I will never go back to this place, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

    A few minutes walk to the Ocean. Beautiful!!

    We are in our room as I speak. Today is 08/28/2020. We are in room #208. My first thought was, It was out dated, But actually, I must say, I do Love it here. the two rooms are very spacious and It's Clean, Friendly and the staff is unbelievably helpful. The Food here, Great!!, Service, Excellent, Drinks, (cocktails.) Great and the bill for dinner and drinks was very reasonable. Would I stay here again? In a New York Minute. The ocean is a very small walk away. Great neighborhood and Quiet. There is no elevator but, It's really not a big deal at all. For me and my friend, It felt like we were coming home. Great job to all who work here. Thank You All, And tell the chef and his staff, Food was perfect, Great Job, Jo-Anne Sebs.

    air conditioner in room

    Food in restaurant was very good. We stayed in hotel for 4 nights. The rooms (we had two) were clean but sketchy. Air conditioner was dirty. Seems like part of the hotel might be a boarding house...there were slots for people's mail at the top of the stairs. We were NOT happy that our 4 nights were charged to our credit card prior to arrival. We had wanted to use a different credit card. Also, check in was supposed to be at 3pm....however no one was at the desk until 4pm. At $240.00 a night I expected a better room. Housekeeping was hit or miss.

    The food was fantastic. I had the baked haddock and my friend had the fried clams. Both were…read moredelicious. The haddock came with coleslaw, rice and tartare sauce. The fried clams came with onion rings and fries and coleslaw. All delish! Easy to get to. On a marina in Winthrop and near the airport. Indoor and outdoor seating.

    After seeing Belle Isle featured on Phantom Gourmet more times than I can count, we finally decided…read moreto give it a try. We were craving waterfront dining and fried scallops--a combination that's usually hard to mess up. The inside has a tired, seen-better-days feel, so we opted for one of the picnic tables outside. Unfortunately, the outdoor seating area looked like it had been abandoned to fend for itself. A broken picnic table frame, weeds, and an unmistakable "good enough" attitude didn't exactly scream "welcome." The saving grace was the view. Looking out toward Boston was lovely, and watching planes take off and land at Logan was entertaining. That said, if plane spotting is your thing, Castle Island or M Street Beach are much better places to park yourself. Our server was pleasant, but the food never really took off. The clam chowder was basically potato soup with a cameo appearance by one or two clams, and it was much milkier than I prefer. My fried scallops were decent, but hardly memorable. My husband ordered the lobster roll with knuckle, claw, and tail meat (there's also a tail-only option), and his review was a shoulder shrug followed by, "It's okay." At these prices, "it's okay" is not exactly a ringing endorsement. To top it all off, they only accept cash or Venmo. In 2026, that's a choice... and one that raises an eyebrow. Between the lackluster food, neglected atmosphere, and cash-only policy, this place was more miss than hit. We won't be back.

    Loved my new Revere Beach dining experience. I've been coming to the beach since I was in a…read morestroller. Dryft was an upscale experience from the usual stands and restaurants that historically been part of the Revere Beach dining experience since mid-century and further back. Dryft is easy to get to from the beach side and the subway. We ate on the outdoor deck. The restaurant is above street level for an ocean view. What a great way to enjoy a summer afternoon. Our service was great, professional not overly friendly. I liked the atmosphere, casual but a bit upscale for Revere Beach. The food was delicious. I tried the clam chowder, and ordered the mushroom gnocchi. Which both delicious. They have a full bar and they offer high tops, regular chairs and indoor & outdoor seating. The menu has a Lunch price until 3 and a dinner price. I'll be back.

    Came here to meet a friend, and wanted a table overlooking the ocean. There are about a dozen…read moretables outside, and 3 were taken but the majority were open. I came in at about 8:45 when they close at 10, and I was told they could not seat me outside because the kitchen was closing. I said if I order oysters or something that doesn't require the grill, can I be seated outside? They said they would ask the kitchen. The host came back and said sure, that would be fine. Then brought me through the dining room to a table. I asked again if I could be seated outside because I am eating, she said no, even though there were about 8 or 9 tables available outside. So I asked to be seated at the table by the window closest to the ocean, which you couldn't see out of based on the reflections of the lights. I likely would have chosen another place if I knew it would be so difficult to get a table outside even when they are available. So I ordered a dozen oysters, half blondes from Blue Hill Bay Maine, half were from Little Pilgrim, Mass.; they were delicious and fresh. I looked them up afterwards and I'm not sure they gave me the right names, but they do look close and at least they had a relative idea of where they were from. I also ordered the shrimp ceviche with plantains, it was good with a decent amount of shrimp but I felt like there could be more, and the plantain chips took up the majority of the dish to make it look bigger. It's a great idea & taste, but could be executed much better. I tried their Dragon's Kiss for a drink which I liked. I forgot our servers name, she was nice but I did feel like she had wanted me to order more for a bigger tip. Tip: give great service and you don't have to upsell to get a bigger tip. It was $120 for 2 drinks, a dozen oysters, and a shrimp ceviche appetizer. dragons kiss 8.5/10 oysters: blue hill bay blonde, me (?) 10/10 little pilgrim, ma (?) 9/10 shrimp ceviche 7/10 Overall it's a beautiful new-ish (3 years) restaurant overlooking Revere Beach, if you can convince them to give you a table outside. Food is good, not great but I'd need to try them again to give a better opinion. Service is just okay, I didn't like the bait and switch of the tables, or that I just came for a few oysters and a couple drinks and it was $120. ambiance: 4/5 food: 4/5 drinks: 4/5 service: 2.5/5 Dryft: 2.6/5 *docked a point for the table situation. there was no reason why we couldn't have a table outside, especially when I told them I would order raw options to make it easier for the kitchen. there were other people outside.

    We found this place completely by accident after a serious craving for comfort food, and wow…read more.. what a find! We were in the mood for chicken pot pie, and the restaurant at Winthrop Arms absolutely delivered. The portions are huge, the food is clearly made with care, and the restaurant has such a warm, cozy atmosphere. We started with the mac and cheese, and it was one of the best we've had--super creamy, cheesy, and the perfect way to kick off the meal. Then came the chicken pot pies. They were piping hot, packed with tender chicken and veggies, and wrapped in a perfectly flaky crust. They also came with creamy mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and fresh bread, which made the whole meal feel like the ultimate comfort food feast. Everything was delicious. What really stood out, though, was the service. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly and welcoming, and they made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. We're from Los Angeles, and this is one of those places we'll be thinking about long after our trip. The next time we're in Boston, we'll absolutely be back. If you're looking for classic comfort food done right, don't skip this place!

The only thing that I didnt care for was that they had Ritz for crackers. They did have nice warm bread with butter. I decided to get their famous chicken pot pie which was very very delicious. It came with a side of potatoes. My husband decided to get the Haddock , along with zucchini and carrots which was very tasty. Then we decided to get a side of mac and cheese with bacon which was very good too. When we received the bill we were shocked that the prices were not bad at all. It was actually pretty decent. I wouls highly recommend coming here and checking them out.

If you stick with the seafood, you're going to have a great meal. That said, keep in mind it is a seafood restaurant. They have chicken wings on the menu, we figured we'd get them to share until the food came out.. They were honestly terrible. The order we received came with six extremely small, overcooked pieces that were so dry and tough looking they weren't even edible. Just looking at them we didn't bother as they weren't at all appetizing. I'm not sure if it was a bad day, a supply issue, or something else entirely, but they were a complete miss. Speaking of, service can be hit or miss as well. This past weekend, we had a wonderful server who was friendly, attentive, and made the experience enjoyable. The visit before that, however, was the exact opposite. Our server--who seemed to be either a manager or assistant manager--spent nearly all of his time chatting up a table of women, clearly trying to get phone numbers. Trying to get his attention for anything felt like a major inconvenience. What motivated me to write this today is that not only was the service good on our latest visit, but we also tried the fried seafood instead of the usual seafood boil--and it was absolutely excellent, and not at all expensive. Both the fried shrimp plate and the fried clam plate were outstanding. If you haven't tried their fried options, or not in the mood to put on gloves and dig into a seafood boil, don't sleep on their fried seafood. It was surprisingly impressive. Overall: great seafood, inconsistent service, avoid the wings entirely, and definitely give the fried dishes a try.
