You know, it was all good ... just not great. I expect great from Four Seasons/Bristol Lounge. My dining partner was served my burger with her fries and vice versa. Not what I'd expect from Four Seasons. I thought our lunches came out slow. We had not indicated we were in a hurry ... but it was quite slow. We were surrounded by tables of young, energetic children. Really? At the Bristol Lounge? We DID get a seat in a window, which is always lovely and the burger is one of, if not THE, best in Boston. However, you definitely PAY for it.

Used to be our favorite place. No longer use tablecloths. Dishes were sliding all over the table when trying to eat. Cold feeling. Our usual server was not there. The woman we got just didn’t care. I think maybe her previous job serving was at the 99. Very sad. No music. No more dessert buffet like they would have in the past. Has always been very expensive and worth it but no more. The men working out front had more enthusiasm grace and class than the server.

Service was poor for a four seasons hotel. The Bristol bar used to be a high end service experience with a great atmosphere. Now it just feels like a hotel bar.

A special treat. The tuna tartare is alway a little different and just wonderful. We also had the tempura soft shell crab

When there for dinner on my wedding anniversary and the food was great. The waiter was excellent was very helpful with the menu and helpful with making a choice for u. Seafood platter was great and would recommend. Clam chowder was amazing. Overall great experience.

What a great place. We were there for brunch this past sunday and everything was superb. From the vallet , doorman , wait staff , our waitress , the omlett chef all greeted us so professionally. The food was amazing. I would recommend trying this joint. Also great for people watching

Spectacular Sunday brunch. Everything was amazing. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

Fabulous dinner. Our waiter could not have been better!

Our server Sean, with round frame glasses, was the best. The food was delicious. The tables were spaced far enough so that you could have your own conversation with out being rude to the next table. Definitely worth the trip.

Spectacular evening! Food excellent and our server Sean was OUTSTANDING! Sean made our evening spectacular! The shrimp cocktail, chicken and lamb shwarma, tuna tartare exceptional!

This is our all-time favorite place.

Perfect spot for after-theatre dining! Best. Burger. Ever.

Consistently excellent food and service. Truly Boston’s living room.

The hamburgers are delicious. Worth coming here for. However my partner and I found some of the dishes overembelished, distracting from the deliciousness of the food. Even the strawberry shortcake had something extra which did not add to the taste of the dish.

We were there for a very special occasion and we were treated so well and the food was delicious. I can’t thank the entire staff enough!

Per my aunt, the lobster cocktail was absolutely delicious and the presentation was delightful. What we came especially for, the Caesar Salad, remained her fav. I had the burger. And, what?! That burger was outstanding. Thank the pasture that raised it! Bristol, you keep us coming back. Danke dir.

Disappointing. Although the food and service were mostly wonderful, this is really just a hotel dining room. The Mandarin Oriental has both Bar Bolud and L'Espalier, which are both exceptional. I miss the days when The Four Seasons had Aujourd'hui.

The food is very good which is expected at this price point. The front of the house leaves a lot to be desired. We had an issue with an inebriated customer, but the staff did not deal with it. A later complaint to the General Manager seemed rather dismissive of the incident. There are so many better places to to for fine dining where the staff is attentive and experienced. i would not go back.

Amazing service!

Hadn’t been back to the Bristol for a while. We found the menu to be excellent. South American flair but still fine for all. Excellent presentation , service and environment.

Loved the atmosphere, the food and the service. It was so relaxing to spend a couple hours enjoying a delicious meal. Thank you

The new Executive Chef, Jessica Biederman, who has recently arrived in Boston from DC, is utterly amazing.

We’ve been coming to the Four Seasons for our anniversary dinner and specail occasions for over 2 decades. The dinner we had this time (Wild Sea Bass and the out-of-sight strawberry shortcake with honeycomb) was so remarkably outstanding that it topped any already high expectations. So much so that I asked for the Chef’s card and sent her a “Thank you!” note.

This lady is one gifted Chef!

Waiter was exceptional.

Graduation celebration was wonderful. Thanks.

We had another great meal at the Bristol. The staff is always very friendly. The food was great. Thank you.

best Sunday buffet for brunch
beautiful view see the park

Top notch service, food and drinks. This is one of the best restaurants Boston has to offer.

Very good overall!

Amazing view (we had a corner table by the windows) and great service!

Never had a bad meal. My wife and I love it every time.

Bristol lounge consistently provides very very good table service and an excellent selection of choices for Sunday brunch. The atmosphere is professional and elegant. Seating, floors and table areas immaculate. Coffee always hot and juice selection freshly squeezed. Will return again and again.

Everything was delicious and wonderful!

Sadly disappointing. Ceasar Salad was all yellow lettuce. Croutons hard as rocks. Dessert tart was rock hard, Couldn’t break crust with my fork . Grounds floating in my coffee
60th Birthday lunch- too bad.
Our server was great.

Birthday celebration for myself and 2 friends..atmosphere , food and tea were all great as always. And we were all surprised with a beautiful chocolate layer cake- compliments of Bristol Lounge. We definitely will be back.

The service is always over the top. The food is always very good to excellent. It is great for a business meeting, for a drink and apps with a date. It is a little stogey in the great hotels of Europe kind of way. You will not be disappointed nor will you be surprised by some new out of the box food offering.

Birthday brunch! Everything was fabulous

So lovely looking out at the garden

Excellent service and attention to detail made our celebration very special!!!!!

A most pleasant evening- wonderful wait staff Freda - Birthday cake with candle and coffee , did not request this - but very much enjoyed and appreciated

Always elegant and always reliable when you need a place to meet business partners. Unfortunately, it was unusually loud on the Friday lunch we hosted. Service excellent as always.
