Super sweet person tho Our table was bummed about the dessert selection - bring back the classic tiramisu in a glass!! Sadly, the stuffed garlic bread was not warm enough for a nice cheesepull like the videos either. The tulip-shaped scallop ravioli was the star, with a moderately rich butter sauce. As for the lobster spaghetti, barely any lobster was detected. Chill pond-facing spot with open seating and turtle-speed service from kind servers with good drink recs. There were just 3 groups eating with us and it took half an hour for the food to be served. Medium portions weren't filling at all so we were hoping the dessert would offset that. I still think changing dessert menus once a year is better than every season especially considering that low foot traffic that night.

Such a delicious meal. My friend and I had a reservation on Sunday night since we've been both…read moremeaning to try this place, and coming here for dinner on Sunday was the move. The place was busy but not packed, and we got seated immediately. My friend loves the movie Julie & Julia and asked the host "is it true this is Julia Child's favorite restaurant?". The host then said "do you want to sit at her table?". My friend LIT UP. Next thing you know, they redirected us to Julia Child's table where we enjoyed our dinner. Incredible stuff. I ordered the Gianone Chicken Breast and my friend got the halibut. I would 100% recommend the chicken breast. The combo of the corn, the mashed potato's, the sauce, the perfectly cooked chicken, it was almost like a chicken pot pie on a plate. So good.

We made a reservation on OpenTable for our anniversary. We were greeted upon arrival and brought to…read moreour table. The waitress came over and took our order. We asked what side she recommended, she said the mushrooms, so we ordered that with steaks and mussels as the appetizer. Mussels were great. We noticed that everyone had bread but us, so we asked one of the bussers or food runners (it wasn't the waitress because she was MIA). Bread never came, about 10 mins later we asked the waitress after we flagged her down and she brought us 2 pieces of bread. The food was delivered by the food runner and the waitress didn't come over to follow up. We had to again flag the waitress down. We asked for steak sauce, which they don't have. I was shocked by this seeing how they sell 60.00 steaks. The steaks were a little under cooked but we let it be. The mushrooms were awful so we sent them back. Steaks were not great and somewhat dry. Honestly we were highly disappointed with the service and the food. Then on the bill I was charged 12.00 for two diet cokes. 6.00 for one Diet Coke is a lot to begin with considering it was a small glass filled with ice, it was about 3 sips of soda. Then to charge for a refill is odd to me. Personally I would not recommend.

Had a great dinner here with my parents. We decided to dine-in, entered and were quickly seated…read more We ordered the mussels to share amongst everyone at the table. For the entrees, I ordered the Black Truffle Rigatoni, and my parents shared a Saumon Roti between the two of them. The food tasted great! Mussels were plentiful and great when dipped in sauce. My pasta also had the strong mushroom-and-truffle flavor I was hoping for. As for the salmon, my parents said the salmon and vegetables were cooked perfectly to their liking. Loved the ambiance of this place! Big windows, nice lighting, tables were a bit smaller than I expected, but otherwise, the design here was cool! The servers were also nice and attentive to us. The only cons I could think of for our dinner was the cost, and that the rigatoni was too oily/greasy. In the case of the rigatoni's oil, maybe that's just something that happens due to the truffle sauce and cheese being used together? Not sure, but there was a lot of grease/oil. Towards the very end of the meal, it was a bit hard for me to stomach because of this. And regarding the costs, I do feel that some of the menu items were on the more expensive end. Everything tasted good, but the bill hit kind of hard. But anyways, we had a wonderful time here! I unfortunately cannot say anything about the bakery items or "smaller" dishes that they serve, as we didn't order any of those.

Please bring back the OLD PAIN AU CHOCOLAT! I was intrigued when I saw today the pain au chocolat…read morewas shaped differently - shorter and puffier - and lighter colored, as I prefer when it's not baked too dark. But sad to say, this was the most disappointing pain au chocolat I've had in a long time. Shorter means lower chocolate to pastry ratio. And while the inner soft pastry layers were tasty, the majority of the pastry was so dry that I peeled off half of it, which I have never done! When they first opened I remembered loving the pain au chocolat, so this was quite a shock. The pain suisse (my favorite French pastry in general, with chocolate chips in custard filling) has been my go-to here. I like that theirs has tiny extra crispy parallel line layers on the outside. Definitely try that. I was also disappointed in the service today. This was my first time eating in. I had to ask several times for more water (they should really use larger glasses, and the server wasn't paying great attention). And I wasn't given a napkin when my sandwich arrived. The ham, cheese, butter, and cornichons baguette sandwich was fine but nowhere near as good as the ones ubiquitous in France in bakeries everywhere. And I also had to peel off the weird blackened edge of the top half of the baguette. I've always had good experiences at their sister restaurants Chez Petit Robert Bistro, Batifol, and the Boulangerie across from Batifol. And previously good pastry experiences at Cafe Saint-Germain, though I have generally felt that the service here seems lackluster during the short interactions of asking about the pastries and purchasing one. It's too bad because the atmosphere here is nice too, but after today I'm reluctant to dine in here again.

I met my guests in the lobby and made my way to the restaurant to discover the door locked. The bartender told me they close the dining room of the restaurant down in the evenings and I have you eat in the lobby by the bar. Embarassing. The bartender initially starter the order process and then a waitress, who was herself new- was assigned, and kept coming out to check on us.... as people walked past our table with luggage. The food was salty and the menu itself was decidedly not european, as billed. A disappointment to say the least. While I may stay at the hotel in the future- I will find a better place to take my meals. While I was not amused, one could say I was Amused.

We have been coming for a few years…read morebecause of the great food, fun decor, and wonderful service, but honestly this was the best meal we've ever had there. The food was delicious-- they have a brand new menu that is really good-- some of our favorites are there but the salmon and risotto, for instance, are seasoned in a new way and presented elegantly. We felt like royalty-- that's how good the service was, which is truly rare these days and one of the reasons we keep returning for birthdays and anniversaries and date nights. This time was to celebrate our son's return to his final year of college and our daughter's big new job. The staff worked together in a seamless way to make sure we were taken care of. We were most impressed by our server Lexi, who went out of her way to make us all feel special, which allowed us to really celebrate and enjoy being together as a family. Thank you! We will be back.

The main reason for the 4-star rating was purely the ambiance. The outdoor seating and overall…read moreatmosphere were phenomenal, I would go back just for that. Moving on to the food: at traditional restaurants, dishes are often brought out at different times, and being a high-end spot, this place followed suit. However, the waiter should've picked up on some context clues--it was 8:45, we had been seated since 8:00, and we still only had the salad. I ordered the steak frites (not sure of its exact name on the menu), and it was great, I'd definitely recommend it. That said, the medium rare came out looking a bit overcooked, though every kitchen does it differently. The frites are typically thin and crispy, but these were thick and a little soggy. The other dishes at the table were solid, nothing to complain about. One thing that did stand out, though, was the bathroom, it clearly needed attention. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned, which is not something I'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber.

Terrible service, tough and inconsistent food. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY COMING HERE…read more We came here for dine out boston 2026, which was the prefixe menus for 46$. The appetizers we ordered were the maple miso Brussel Sprouts and the spare ribs. The spare ribs were so tough with barely any meat on them. I felt like a caveman trying to gnaw them off the bone. My partner got the Brussels, and while the flavor was ok, a lot of them were inedible because they were hard and raw in the center. Service was slow. We were sat at 5pm, our orders were in at 5:10pm, and we literally waited an hour to get our entrees after an unsuccessful appetizer. Partner got the chicken, and I got the lemon haddock. The chicken was just OK, accompanied with some OK mashed potatoes, and lo and behold, some BURNT brussel sprouts (cannot make this up). The fish was surprisingly good, with no bones and a nice lemony flavor, but it was not good enough for the $100+ bill I paid. While we were sitting, the entire time, a drummer was appointed to fill the room with live music. As a musician, this many literally "rat a tat tatted" randomly for an HOUR, akin to a 5-year old trying to learn how to play the drums, and then proceeded to do a "set" which consisted of him playing random drum noises at 6pm, filled with intermittent pauses. This was especially annoying since, we wouldn't have minded if the music was GOOD or the drums were accompanied by some other music. But they were not. Ice cream came last. My partner said it was hard to mess up ice cream, but here we are, with freezer burnt ice cream that is barely edible. Of course, it would be unfair to give criticism without constructive feedback, so what does the sea hag do well and what would I change? Like their name, they do really well with fish, and so I would lean into that. I have no idea why in gods name they would move to other meats, because clearly the chef is not experienced in that, as evidenced by the tough spare ribs and OK chicken. They also need a consistent way to cook vegetables. I feel like this is a basic skill that this restaurant is clearly lacking. Im sure the musician is great at drumming, but he needs to do so somewhere else, in a band or some other venue. This place was not it. I felt like I was witnessing a garage practice session rather than a performance. Finally, they need to have faster service. It is inexcusable how slowly we were served for the quality of food we got. I cannot believe I spent 100$+ on such a let-down meal, and I hope you don't make the same mistake I did. When I applied for Elite, my application was based on me being a teacher, in this economy, where every dollar counts, and I wanted to make sure other people knew where they could save their money. Unless the sea hag makes drastic changes, do not waste your money or time coming here. It's not worth it. Surprisingly, the only thing on the nose is the restaurants name: the sea hag is eloquently fitting for the terrible food we received.
