    There were fruit flies flying all over the food we had to swat them to make sure they didn’t land. There was a mouse that ran across the floor after we were done eating. If it had ran out earlier we would have left

    Although we made a reservation, we went in early figuring that we would have a drink at the bar. They were able to seat us immediately which was great since we were tired from traveling. I’m usually not fond of restaurants attached to hotels as the food is often rather uneven. That was not the case! Everything at Joia was delicious - fresh and well prepared. Our server was attentive and made appropriate recommendations. I thought it was a bit on the expensive side, but everything in Boston seems to be.

    Great and attentive staff. The food was really good and good portions. It’s a bit on the expensive side - but for the area/quality of food and service it was way worth it!

    Don’t waste your time… our reservation was at 8:15, got seated at 8:50 and by 9:10 we didn’t even have our water for the table. So many things wrong with the service, pricing on menu is insane, it is a club at night so don’t expect anything enjoyable for environment. To wrap it all up in a bow: they won’t split checks on Friday+Saturday so after all this we decided we’ll just eat the app and move on… still get charged a mandatory 20% tip for a server we saw twice. Do not waste your time… I promise.

    I love grilled octopus, so when I saw it on the menu I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately it was dry and rubbery and the bean mixture it was served on was tasteless. I also had the short rib pasta. it was tasty and serve hot but not something to go back for. The staff was attentive, although did not pick up on the sub par octopus The atmosphere was loud they were playing beat driven club music which did not match the decor. And it was cold. every time the door opened. a cold wind came into the room. There are much better restaurants in the area to dine at
