Vanessa Pham: Order the lavender beignets but ask to replace the chocolate sauce with rhubarb berry sauce. The combination is amazing!
Thomas Keating: Everything both looked and tasted exceptional. Surprisingly light tasting for a French restaurant. Server was excellent and the chef was very accommodating to a dietary concern. Great for date night.
Boston.com: Bistro du Midi is a Restaurant with a capital R. None of that upscale pub grub that’s been going around. No waiters who want to be your pal. Read more.
Vicky Hu: Get the Irish breakfast sandwich with scrambled eggs. It's delicious!!'
Jake Smith: More than simply a bakery, this joint also serves a dine-in breakfast and sells many Irish dry goods and provisions. Bakery, breakfast joint, and grocery store all in one place.
Julio Ricardo Varela: Have the Irish Breakfast Sandwich. To die for.
Boston Phoenix: Quoth the Mayor: "Their red-velvet ice cream was really good ... My favorite weird flavor has got to be the strawberry rhubarb." Read more.
VishnuVardhan M: Strawberry ice cream and rum raisin milkshakes are good
BostonTweet: Every night after 10pm the JP LIcks in Brigham Circle goes BOGO - buy one ice cream (cone, dish, pint, whatever) and get another for free until midnight.

Stacie H: This is a really wonderful hotel. If you want to treat yourself, definitely stay here! Really attentive staff, dining was excellent. Just lovely.
Wiebe Mokken: Try the Eggs Benedict. Do. They are delicious.
Curbed: The 256-room, five-star hotel helped change the whole area, though it still has the feel of being out there on the water’s edge in the best and worst senses (i.e. fabulous views, but isolated). Read more.
Youssof Mal: Loved everything here, we had the escargot, Brussels Sprouts, steak, burger,and branzino. The branzino was a highlight.
Ali: Loved their foie gras, and onion soup. The selection of wines isn’t half bad either. Service is good. Kinda pricy though.
Gianna Nebbia: Not bad, not my favorite. Kinda simplistic which is fine but could use a little something extra.

Michael Hadwin: Good steakhouse with wide menu. Impressive wine list. Some great value wines if you know your South Africa and Southern America producers.
Ali: Good food and good service. Try the bone marrow.
Cindi Knell: Overpriced, undercooked and not worth the $$$$. $60 got me this. Salad was aweful. At this price should serve something better than french fries. Asked for med steak came out rare.

Jennifer C: Burger & pulled pork flatbread are amazing. Dirty belvedere martini with blue cheese olives make a fabulous bev pairing.
Boston.com: The new hearth oven truly earns its keep is something humble: roast chicken, redolent of rosemary and pepper, served in a cast-iron skillet with potatoes. Also hard to beat: pulled pork flatbread. Read more.
Christine A: The burger here is amazing, even better than the Bristol lounge in the four seasons...
