    We decided to come here for our anniversary dinner and we were not disappointed. We are pretty particular about our food and Mother Anna’s hit the mark with every dish. Every dish was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back.

    We went there and the restaurant was closed. Oh wait, it is a pandemic. Why on earth are you still sending these notices out when all restaurants are closed?

    unfortunately, this review is entirely from my memory of previous dinners at the Top of the Hub. Due to the world being on lock-down we missed our last chance to say goodbye to that view. Thanks for the memories.

    Fantastic dinner. Salmon was great and lobster Mac and cheese was solid. Brussel sprouts were a good side and the calamari was amazing. Never disappointed by such a great restaurant. It’s too bad that they’re closing down, but I felt lucky to be able to dine here prior to closing.

    View from the 52nd floor was spectacular. It was light when we were seated and we watched Boston turn it's lights on as we ate. Calamari appetizer was fabulous. While the carpaccio was delicious, it wasn't the best we've had. Filet Oscar was outstanding. Deserts were superb. Drinks did not skimp on the alcohol.

    I was blown away with view upon entering the restaurant. I loved the decor and ambience. I was not impressed with the service. We were not given the cocktail menu or told what the specials were. The lobster bisque was delicious but the lobster risotto was bland. I am glad that I dined at The Top of the Hub but wouldn’t go back even if it wasn’t closing.

    I enjoyed a lot what this restaurant has to offer. High ceiling, spectacle view and not so crowded. Steak was almost well done when our son wanted to be medium rare, but it was very tender. They changed plates, spoon and fork for us each time. Appetizer, salad, New England clam chowder was so good, too. I wish we can visit this restaurant again but sadly they will close due to their lease is due and not renewing. This place is remarkable.

    Was very disappointed in our small table on the inside wall. Made a reservation a month in advance and asked for a window seat. (Obviously why everyone goes.) We were the third row of tables from the window. Couldn’t see out at all. We both ordered the filet mignon Oscar style cooked medium. Mine was rare, his was medium rare. Was good but I was unable to finish as it was too rare.

    The reservation was perfectly on time with a very short wait for a table by a window. The view of the City is spectacular. The food, atmosphere, and service were all outstanding. It’s a bit expensive, but for a special occasion, it’s an evening to remember!

    Mario was our waiter and we had him before. Mario is the best took the time to chat with us and enjoyed our conversation. We are sad to hear the Top if the Hub is closing - as it has many good memories. We will miss it dearly! Mario thank you for everything! You will succeed at anything you will do.
