A word from Bristol Lounge

The Bristol Lounge offers a comfortable setting for dining and conversation any time of day. Tables offering views of the iconic Boston Public Garden line the floor-to-ceiling windows, and a fireplace warms the spacious room during the winter. Power breakfasts are followed by power lunches, a… thriving after-work bar scene, and who's who of Boston's dinner crowd.Continued

"This was not a good experience. The breakfast we had was well below the standards of a Four Seasons restaurant and quite honestly, the experience will cause us to look elsewhere in the future. Over cooked eggs, dry meat, etc. a lackluster staff and genuinely a lass than enjoyable experience with costs that are terribly high. Had the food and service been deemed to be even "mediocre", I would not be writing. But this was so under par that I felt compelled to communicate to anyone that would contemplate spending the funds we did for even a breakfast, let alone a brunch or dinner.
This was horribly disappointing and we will not be returning anytime soon, if at all."

"Great food but wouldn't consider it a great romantic spot (as other reviews do) since there are a lot of families with young kids there (when I want romance, I leave the kids at home!) and the atmosphere is not very intimate. The service is great and food lives up to its reputation."

"This was my first time to the Bristol Lunge and two friends from out of town were visiting. The meal was fabulous, we were never rushed and the service could not have been better. I am looking forward to go backing again - so many more items on the menu I would to try."

"I came with a party of 4 and my spouse and I who have been to the Bristol Lounge in the past, a few years ago, felt that the food was noticeably better. It must have everything to do with their Chief. The presentation in the elegant dining room with the artistic china dining plates gave me a sense I was living a beautiful dream. Even days later I keep reflecting as well as the party I was with. I had the Miso Cod and it was so moist and tasty with black sesame seeds. My friend had the crispy duck with a waffle and she really enjoyed the food and presentation. Two of us had herb tea after dinner in beautiful glass tea pots. WOW, that's living."
