    We were guests at the hotel. I was attending the Harvard course on Internal Medicine. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the menu. The bruschetta was outstanding. Thank you for the superb service. Dr and Mrs John Peto Toronto, Canada

    Very please with the food but service was very slow. Don't think I'd hurry back unless I wasn't in a hurry.

    Food was fantastic, almost as good as the view of the sunset over the Charles. Service was a little slow but that worked for us as we were able to spend longer chatting.

    It was a Sunday evening and perhaps they had a some inexperienced waiters. They seemed young, insecure and tentative. They tried but they clearly need more practice. Also, the choice of music was annoying and the noise from a private party made it even worse. We have enjoyed this restaurant in the past and the view and location are appealing.

    Excellent food and service. Fairly small menu, but fair variety. Well presented food. Recommend the salmon and risotto.

    Excellent Salmon from Denmark! Loved the big pour of wine and the $2.00 appetizers at the bar. You can’t have a better view of Boston than from Cambridge. Can’t wait for the outdoor patio to open!
