   Food was delicious, but super disappointed in the lunch service, and the restaurant was not very busy with patrons. After 15 minutes, I had to ask for some acknowledgment that we were even sitting there, though we were seated at our reserved table by a host. Everything was very slow: drink service, food delivery, got two orders wrong (after proudly not writing 7 people’s orders down), and I finally had to go up to the bar to ask for our check. Bummer!

   The service was so poor, we left after more than 30 mins of not being served. The restaurant was empty (more people were seated outside) but the servers didn’t even acknowledge us. We flagged down a server to order drinks and appetizers. The drinks came 15-20 mins later. We waited another 10 mins and flagged someone else down to check on our appetizers and to order entrees. The server said we were “rude” for waving them over. Then we found out our appetizers were never sent to the kitchen. We left without eating. Worst service experience ever. Now I know why the restaurant was empty. I won’t go back. Ever.

   Out of all the restaurants we went to in Boston, Para Maria was by far our favorite. Savory food and exceptional service. Can’t wait to go back.

   Mexican food was meh, Spanish food was ok. Service was slow items were forgotten or cold. For the price the food could have been better. No fault of the staff, they were annoyed from a party with an 21 year old, over loaded, but remained kind.

    Food was uneventful and most overcooked. Potatoes filled the majority of the plate and were fine. Most things felt like they were premade and reheated to serve. Servers were nice and fine overall but did get 1 order wrong which was my mother on mothers day. We mostly ate our meals by the time hers came out right. Also, no ability to make an omelet was surprising

    Waited 3 hours for my food to come, after the food came the food was cold and it was not good. Waiters did not ask if we needed another drink or anything while waiting for the food in those 3 hours. We had to ask the waiters every hour of the hour for our food and the restaurant wasn’t even that full to have waited that long.

    It was really unpleasant. The food was not great and we had multiple issues with the food. If it was not for our beautiful server (which she did not had any to do with anything that happened) I would say it was the worst experience ever. This place it is not worth it.

    Food was very good…service was not very attentive. After we were seated, and mind you not very busy, it took 15 minutes to even be acknowledged by a waiter. Then another 10 minutes to even get water. We were sitting there for an hour before we were even served our initial drink order. Luckily, food was good. Need to sharpen the service. May not return.

    Restaurant decor/vibe is fantastic for a casual but nice dinner. Reservations were easy to find and there was plenty of space in the restaurant. Food looks great but is lacking with flavor/not worth the cost so I get why it wasn't hard to find a table here on a weekend when all my other go-to restaurants were fully booked. Staff was nice and helpful but service was so slow for an almost empty restaurant. Also, we ordered a bottle of champagne and the person pouring it did not know how to properly pour the bottle into the glasses and kind of ruined it. Perhaps better training is needed for the staff.

    We ordered a very simple grazing board appetizer that took a wild amount of time to arrive for something not cooked. We then waited an additional hour and a half for our entrees. We had a 7:15pm reservation, and left the restaurant at 10pm. Had we had plans post dinner, we would have had to leave without eating. Our server was sweet but could not have cared less, or maybe not noticed at the incredibly long delay. We also waited over twenty minutes for a soda water and a glass of wine. And the soda water was flat to boot.

    This place is a lot of fun. Service was excellent, food was creative, decor was clean and exciting, drink selection was different and interesting. Bar scene was vibrant with a lot of space to move and views out onto the street and of the Financial District skyline. Have the cocktail with the bubble on top. It's a show, as is the whole fried snapper. Both are like nothing we had seen before. And the salmon was phenomenal! Exceeded expectations for a hotel restaurant.

    Food was overall ok. Burger and cauliflower dish were good. Salmon was so-so, but the kids dish was probably the worst we had ever seen. My daughter literally ate nothing. Cocktails were too sweet for us.

    This restaurant was listed as part of restaurant week. However, they did not have the desert listed or one of the 4 items on the menu. The service was extremely slow despite the restaurant not being busy. We had to call our waiter to take our order and again to cash us out. Overall, I would not recommend

    Was a wonderful atmosphere. Two of us at by the windows at the hightop. Was relieved not the cold hard metal chairs some restaurants have. A wonderful waitress, Alexandra. Besides the seafood orzo dish being great, we LOVED that the music was soft and jazzy. We could actually hear each other! What a concept! People at the fairly full bar, therefore, were not screaming above loud music, seemed to be enjoying the comfy bar and others company. The Envoy also houses a gallery (next door the the restaurant) showing Fort Port Arts Community artists. And the Envoy actually bought art by a local artist for the dining room! Love this place!
