“ The restaurant and bar was top notch. The breakfast we had there was so delicious! The avocado toast was so hardy and fresh Service very attentive. And Chris at the bar made me my favorite drink even though it wasn’t on the cocktail list. Brendan played acoustic guitar on Fri night and was taking requests and entertaining us all! So much fun! ”
“ Hidden gem! Avocado toast is one of my favorite breakfasts, and Wisteria served the best avocado toast that I've ever had. Pickled onions, radishes, and marinated tomatoes combined to kick this dish up to a new level. Also, the previous night we only wanted a light meal, and their clam chowder was perfect for the occasion. It rivaled (or exceeded) the chowder we had earlier from Legal Seafood. Wisteria exceeds all expectations for a hotel restaurant! ”
“ Ate here with the wife while traveling for business in Boston and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. Breakfast was omelettes which were light, fluffy, fresh and we'll seasoned. For dinner, wife had the burger with fries which she loved. I had the fish & chips which was delicious as well. Locally sourced cod that was fried in beer batter was still light and delicate. Absolutely delicious! Service was professional, courteous, and timely. No issues getting a seat and the atmosphere was very pleasant. If I'm ever out this way again, I'd definitely come back for another meal. ”

“ I wasn’t expecting much since it’s located right in the hotel lobby, but I was pleasantly surprised—the food was excellent! Our server, Holly, was incredibly polite and attentive, she offered great recommendations from the menu as well as other must-try spots in Boston. The cod she suggested was one of the best fish dishes I’ve had in a long time. The combination of great food and outstanding service made for a fantastic experience! ”
“ Good on-property restaurant. Didn't want to venture out in the cold, so this was a perfect option. Good food and drink selection and a nice atmosphere. Lively lounge and bar area, but also a more quiet dining area. ”
“ Amazing service and great food! Holly was the best server I have had in Boston by far, cannot praise her enough. The glazed salmon was cooked to perfection and the chicken pesto flatbread was absolutely delicious!! ”
