Interesting local beer on tap and other local sourced drinks. The food however, was disappointing. Chicken and Waffles: waffles were incredibly sweet. Like dessert sweet. Made worse by hot honey topping and a sweet breading on the chicken. First bites were good but you get over sweeted pretty quick. OG chicken sandwich was so, so, dry. Same very sweet fried chicken, dry slaw that didn't add any flavor, a few pickles that helped a bit, but no real flavor. The chicken (on the waffles too) was hammered...fried till super dry. Comes with a side of potato chips but they weren't hot or seasoned. The big pretzel app was good. Beer cheese was ok, honey mustard was better. Sorry we didn't enjoy ourselves more. Nice people and very good service.

Bazille was quite surprising- usually restaurants inside of department stores aren't that exciting,…read morebut Bazille turned out to be a really amazing spot to grab some food. While we had dinner here, I would highly recommend this spot for lunch. First and foremost, the staff were so kind and helpful. Our waiter helped us to figure out what food to get, recommended drinks, etc. The food was quite good. We ordered a number of appetizers (bisque, brussel sprouts, calamari, and burrata). I think we were all in agreement that the calamari was the best (perfectly fried, great hint of lemon), though the bisque was also the perfect treat on such a cold day. For my meal I had the salmon, which was a pretty big portion. The couscous and sauce were all really good, I wish I had a few more veggies, but this was all around a great dish. The prime rib dip sandwich was by far the best entree on the table. For dessert we had the crème brûlée and chocolate mousse cup, both really good, but the chocolate mousse cup was really well balanced with decadent chocolate and peppermint. The restaurant is relatively small, but it wasn't super busy and had a lot of great options! Maybe slightly pricy, but what a great place to stop into when you're at the mall.

Popped in for a small bite and beverage and the hostess was an absolute gem. She asked me where I'd be most comfortable sitting. I opted for the bar and ordered a glass of house red. Note: The drinks are crazy expensive. My wine was $16 for a glass. That's the average cost for most of the drinks on the menu. I had a cup of tomato basil soup which was delish, and chicken tacos which were on the small bites/apps portion of the menu. They were tasty. For dessert, I opted for a brownie sundae. It was dry and not fresh. The meals are fresh but pastries must be ordered offsite and just frozen. With the exception of dessert, I'll definitely visit again for a bite!

The rooms are huge with 2 king sized beds that are sooo comfortable to sleep on. I booked our room this time using the Mother's Day promo and received a bottle of champagne at check in that was presented to me in a cute gift bag. Small things like that leave lasting memories.

I don't visit the area much, but the few times I did, and wanted a quick cocktail, the place was closed, waaaaaay before midnight. Then the desk told me they "always" close at 11pm. Whatever it's a stupid little bar which is probably meant for people attending conferences staying at the hotel looking for 4-5:30 happy hour. But really I can't even imagine that. Not that I was looking for a dance party, was just kinda hoping to use a functional hotel bar, ie; a place that could give me even one cocktail! This is the third time I have found this place not open at all different times. They should just stop advertising it as part of the property or turn it into something else. I probably won't stay there again, not cause I was so excited about their stupid little bar, but because it was advertised as an amenity and it simply is NOT. Oh and the hotel isn't great either. The Element across from it is SO much nicer.

I've never been to a place that makes me feel like I am important like they do. We got the fried clams to start. They were sweet and well fried. Tender and paired with a nice sauce. We shared the 48oz cowboy ribeye. It was massive and presented so nicely. Last year I had the regular ribeye and prefer it but there was nothing wrong with this. You get to choose sauce or salt. We love the smoked salt and also went with a horseradish cream. We got fries on the side which were good but nothing compared to this massive meat.

My mom and I like to have a nice meat dinner from time to time. A few years back we stumbled upon…read moreThe Bancroft and it was excellent - so, she came into town this past weekend, wanted to do our fancy big meat dinner, and we knew The Bancroft was the place to go. I made a reservation for a Saturday night at 7:00 for two. Note: I originally went to make the reservation online from their website but the availability was not good, so I called instead. Online it pretty much looked booked between 4:30 and 8:00 - I called and was able to get 7:00 without hesitation. So, make note to call if you don't see the time or range listed online. We were greeted as we entered and checked in with the host/hostess. They were friendly and polite and told us it would just be a few minutes. They brought us back to our table and had us seated shortly there after. Our waitress was great; she told us about the specials, checked in on us, and made sure everything was as expected. We ordered some bevs that were very tasty and had great presentations. Speaking of presentation, let's get on to the food. We ordered the Tomahawk, which if you don't know, is a MASSIVE piece of meat. It's a steak meant to serve two people - in reality, it serves way more than two. The presentation of the tomahawk steak plate alone was beautiful! It had a whole bunch of stuff (see pic). They bring it out for you to see, and then they take it back to the kitchen to slice. We ordered medium rare, and probably should have gone more medium but it was not too rare so it was fine. Now, at The Bancroft, it is an à la carte style meal, meaning you order sides separately and usually a few for the table. We had the carrots (one of the specials), roasted potatoes, and creamed spinach. Forgot to say when you order meat, you also get to pick two sauces - and before anything while you wait they bring you some rolls and butter. The rolls started us off on the right foot knowing the meal was going to be phenomenal. They were warm with some sea salt on top and baked to perfection. The steak was mouth watering, juicy, and flavorful. The sauces added a great touch, and the sides were wonderful. It is safe to say, we did not leave hungry! As mentioned, while tomahawk is said to serve two, we had a lot of leftovers so of course we got those packed up to go. They were very considerate with the packaging, putting items in different boxes that made sense. We unfortunately did not have room for dessert but I'm sure it would've been awesome. The Bancroft is definitely a higher scale restaurant so it is on the pricer side, but it is justified. The food tastes great, presentation is there, and service is excellent. It's a great place for special occasions, celebrations, or just because as long as you know what to expect... but with prices today, I'd rather pay this and have it be worth it than what a crappy meal is costing today!

The beer list is huge, which is great if you like choices, or terrible if you're the kind of person who panics when offered more than two options. All in all, I liked it. Good atmosphere, great broccoli, and enough on the menu that I'd come back. Might even pretend it was my idea.

We ordered ice water with lemon. About five minutes later, the water arrived--but without the lemons. We decided to let it go, and shortly afterward she returned to take our order. We ordered two salads: THAI PEANUT SALAD (added chicken) Napa cabbage, red cabbage, scallions, red pepper, peanut dressing, and crispy rice noodles. CLASSIC CAESAR SALAD (added shrimp) Romaine hearts, garlic croutons, shaved Romano, and creamy Caesar dressing. Then we waited. About 10-15 minutes later, our waitress stopped by to ask if we needed anything. We were fine. Another 15 minutes passed, and she checked on us again. About 10 minutes later, she stopped by once more and said she was going to check with the kitchen. The restaurant was only about half full, with plenty of open tables. We had ordered two salads--it doesn't get much simpler than that. Finally, about 45 minutes after we arrived, our lunches made their way to the table. My Classic Caesar Salad was overdressed, and the shrimp, while acceptable, was a bit dry. I didn't try the Thai Peanut Salad. Ironically, this was one of the few times I would have preferred eating at the Legal Sea Foods in Logan Airport, where they somehow manage to get good food to your table much more promptly. I doubt I'll return to this location. One tip: parking in the lot directly in front of Legal Sea Foods is very tight. I parked in the former Lord & Taylor lot around the corner, which was only a few minutes' walk away.

I came during the lobster roll special season, and the roll had a good amount of meat in the roll. My only complaint, and it is a small one, is that the picture they advertise is what you would be served off the docks in main. What my wife and I had could more accurately be described as a lobster salad on a roll. No chunks like you see in the as. More chopped lobster with added ingredients. Not that it was not tasty. Just wanted to mention this as the only thing that distracted from an otherwise enjoyable time.
