Not worth anywhere near the $$ – Soiree Room. Very disappointed. Made reservations, supposedly only early times left. WORST table - right by the room entrance, near heavy door that waitstaff uses constantly. Room was half-empty the entire time, so we wondered why we were seated there, better tables remained empty. Food - good, sometimes great, but many places offer great food with better experiences and lower $$. Portion - if not for the bread, we would have left hungry. Service - good, sometimes snooty - overall room ambien... read more
ups and downs – First let me say, the food itself was amazing. Very delicious. Of course, the portions were extremly small, even for fine dining. The service was extremly slow, but good when actually aorund. The bar took forever to make sub par drinks-I expected alot more from the bar side of things, more creativity, steping outseide of the box. I would go again, maybe on a much slower night, and drink wine.
I tried and tried... – The first time I went to Upstairs, I was taken by several friends for my birthday. They were horribly embarassed, the food was terrible. The second time I went during restaurant week, assuming they would put on a good spread and a good showing. Wrong! The third time, I stopped-up with some friends b/c they wanted to try it - we never ended-up eating, since no one ever checked back with us after we got our wine. Speaking of which, it is a great wine list - and it is a beautiful space - I would highly re... read more
Charming Upstairs – The upstairs part of the restaurant is a lovely place to dine on a weeknight--it's very quiet and empty, and you can actually hear your companions speak. Our waiter was very solicitous and when we raved about the amuse-bouche, he had the chef make us another! I ordered the skate and it was absolutely delicious--it came in a grapefruit reduction that added just the right amount of tartness. My friend ordered the cod, which was perfectly cooked.
Go UpStairs, not downstairs – Actually a wonderful night with the food being stellar. a spicy skirt steak flanked by a salad was a wondeful starter and then pea shoot ravioli was to die for. Impressive wine list that is shared with the upstairs restaurant. However, the service was more fitting of a tavern than an upscale restaurant. probably the worst service I've had all year. Come with low expectations and you'll have a good time. Lots of people watching. We were there when the harvard glee club took over a portion of the ... read more
My Favorite Special Occasion Treat – This is my new favorite restaurant. The decor is absolutely gorgeous. This alone is worth the visit. But the food is spectacular and even though some things are a bit more than you may normally pay the value is there. Super delicious.
Such a Treat – I had read so much about this place that I made sure to visit there when my parents were in town. It was better than I expected. The food was amazing, the decor was almost worth the trip itself. the most beautiful paint and lighting I've ever seen. The prices were high, the downstairs dining was a little less pricy but everthing was so perfectly cooked it didn't seem unreasonable. I would go more often it fhe prices were lower but this is an amazing restaurant, definitely going to be my special occasion place ... read more
Marvelous and delicious! – This place is great! With wonderful treats for the eyes and the tastebuds. Started out in the Monday Club with drinks and a yummy crabcake and scrumptious Rabe pizza. We had reservations on a Saturday night (highly recommended) and were told it was going to be a slight wait (but that should be expected every place that is this popular on Saturdays) My husband had the Steak and I had the rabbit, which is now my all time favorite meat. Leave room for the yummy dessert! These people even make their ow... read more
Beyond disappointing – The worst dining experience I have had in the Boston area. Made a reservation for the upstairs dining room only to arrive, trek up five flights of stairs and find the dining room empty expect for cases of beer. Went back to the cafe and waited while several members of the staff walked by but refused to acknowledge us. Finally stopped someone to ask for a table. Apparently the formal dining room is closed on Sunday nights. The host seemed to have fogotten this when booking our reservation. Sat down in t... read more
