We enjoyed a scrumptious dinner - even though the menu is not expansive. For a party of 6 the seating arrangements were not ideal: a corner couch with large slipper chairs made eating a balancing act. The chairs were made for lounging with a cocktail not eating a meal. I was mislead by the image on the Langham website that we’d be sitting at a regular table with dining chairs. If you’re a two top no worries they offer plenty of seating for your party.
The Fed at the Langham, BostonResponded on August 17, 2024
Thank you for taking time and completing the survey. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed your dinner. I’m sorry to hear about the seating issues you encountered. Your feedback about the seating arrangements is valuable, and we’ll work on making improvements. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Warm regards, Vadym Shyrokov Assistant F&B Manager

The hotel is very lovely and classy. The restaurant is open late until 1130 relative to other good restaurants in the area that close at 9, which is great if you’re coming in late or are lazy. Drinks and food were really good, nice chairs/benches, easy to relax and have a good meal/drink/convo. My new spot if I’m traveling to Boston. For all you snobs :) this place over the four seasons.

Food was great but the service was lacking. It’s unfortunate because the food prices don’t align with the type of service we received. Waiter took forever for just about everything and didn’t even acknowledge that he was taking forever.
