Justine Jordan: Don't bother looking at the massive wine list. Just ask your server (some of the best and most knowledgeable in Boston) for a recommendation. NY strip and tagliatelle are delicious.
Boston.com: Devra First suggests: Duck confit, lobster with gnocchi, onion soup, New York strip, duck breast, cheesecake, warm apple cider soup. Read more.
Tommy Barth: The cocktails are amazing!

Alessia M: A small space with no reservations, but get there on the early side to put your name in and enjoy a delicious drink at the bar. It's well worth the wait.
BostonTweet: The Franklin Cafe has O'Hara's Irish Stout on draft for $5 and they serve really good food until 1:30am. It honestly doesn't get any better than that.
Bravo: Thumping techno beats aside, the great comfort food draws chefs and restaurant crews post shift to grab real food late night. -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts

Jim Goudreau: Oysters, Mac and cheese, pot roast are all amazing.
Boston Magazine: Like most steakhouses, Grill 23 is full of mahogany, martinis, and expensive suits. Unlike at most steakhouses, the food is actually worth the ridiculous prices. Read more.
Christine: Excellent service, excellent food. Oysters, New England clam chowder, 100-day aged ribeye, English peas ... all were liked by our crowd. 2nd time here and will be back.

Alex Paredes: Always grab the marg - they r good! Burger and the penne are great as well!
Boston.com: It's a tough call. If you stay inside, you'll be cozy in the main dining room, where handsome waiters (we didn't spy a single waitress) shuttle trays of cocktails and light fixtures turn rainbow color Read more.
Jill Shepherd: Best bloody mary I've ever had - and that includes every type. Great brunch and not too crowded!
Stephanie Orme: A little off the beaten path, Boston's only winery is a hidden gem. Take a better tour, taste 3 different wines, and munch in some pizza, all for $10! Makes for a grear afternoon out.
Min Jeong Kim: Winery tour available
Image Unlimited Comm: Um...make your own wine??!! Fun!! Perfect for large groups, you can hold events here and they have a walk in wine shop.

Suzanne Darmory: So good - absolute musts are the shishito peppers, popcorn shrimp, and foie grad unagi ❤️

Juliet: Order a pitcher of sangria and mash the fresh fruit in your glass
Boston Phoenix: New England seafood and produce like no one else. The hotel’s collection of American wines is unmatched. Fish and shellfish are central, but lamb sirloin is also great, and the mixology is top-shelf. Read more.
Tim B: Good food, nice views but god awfully slow service. Seated at 6:30, entrees at 8:10.
