"Clink is located in the Liberty Hotel. The 5 story interior of the lobby is architecturally interesting considering it was the former Charles Street Jail. There was a very loud band playing that filled the enormous space with lots of energy. Clink was just so so. The menu was intersting and varied. Mussels were almost too small and a bit spicy. The gnocchi was heavy, dense and doughy. The scallops were delicious. The steak was equally tasty. Meyer lemon sorbet was tasteless. The chocolate crusted pie was delicious. There are too many really good restaurants in Boston for us to return to Clink."

"I went to Clink with high expectations. I knew it was expensive and would be good for a special occasion. I ended up ordering the Gnocchi and was rather disappointed. They were very bland, and a very small serving for an entree-priced dish. The drinks were also expensive at $10 per cocktail, although they were good and made of top-shelf liquors. I may go back to try it again, but more likely to just order and appetizer or two to the bar."

"Nice place with its own historical charm: open jail house doors. Filled with light from the windows. Clean and crisp setting. Friendly, attentive but not obtrusive wait staff. Oh, yes, most importantly: great food! Planning a return visit for brunch."

"Went with a total of six for Easter Sunday Brunch. Service was extrememly slow and uncaring. Dropped off the final bill without asking if we wanted dessert! Had to ask twice for refill of water and I could go on... It appeared that they did not have enough wait staff for the amount of business. I would not say that they were extremely busy either, as I did not see any overflow people waiting out in the lobby area. The food was not bad but that is not saying that it was good either, nothing extremely memorable. Gratuity was added so I don't know if that was a factor to not extend better service. I don't know if it is in part of the hotel and they figure that overnight guests would not repeat visit. Only an unusual circumstance to return"

"I had a lovely Easter brunch at the Liberty with my grandmother for the 3rd year in a row. The ambiance is spectacular. The hotel manages to be interesting and fun while also remaining very classy. I love it here and will continue to keep coming back for dinner, drinks, and brunch."

"We enjoyed looking around the building and reading about its history. The atmosphere is fantastic at clink as well as at the downstairs bar, alibi. The food was delicious, especially the pasta with lamb ragu, and the red snapper special."

"I really wanted to love Clink. The Liberty Hotel is magnificent, and the restaurant space is very cool. The hostess and other staff were all very nice, friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the food was a real mixed bag. Appetizers were generally good - my duck egg was a bit undercooked, with the white still too loose, but the salad and others were well-received. Main courses were more of a problem - my pork was very fatty, and the meat I *could* find was dry. The fish was a bit run-of-the-mill - it had flavor but was otherwise not interesting. Dessert was also mixed - the bacon ice cream was wonderful, but some of the others didn't impress. So, while I'd recommend the place due to the environment itself, be careful about the food."

"I was not impressed with the service. Not only did our wait staff take the order of and serve the female at the table last, but part of the order was forgotten as was the request for more bread. Service was quite slow."

"I was very disappointed not only with the food, but also with the service. I don't know if it was because of restaurant week, because I' ve been there before and the service and food was excellent.
