TIRAMISU Ladyfingers | Mascarpone | Chocolate & LEMON MERINGUE TART Honey Ice Cream
Alvin A.

There were a total 3 of us who were really enjoyed our dinner at Clink. Suggested by one of my fellow's, she had heard about Dine Out Boston 2025 that over 160 establishments participating city wide. Clink is located in a historic hotel located in the West End district of Boston in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. It was an easy 10 minute ride to and from our hotel. For a Monday evening, it wasn't that busy for dinner time and it was easy to get a reservation for 3 at 6pm. We all ordered their Prex Fixe Menu for $55 that includes an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I ordered the New England Seafood Chowder, we all chose Hanger Steak, while dessert was Tiramisu. My fellow colleague had a glass of Chardonnay while I had Merlot. Everything was delicious, food came out at a nice pace, friendly customer service, really makes you feel like you're in an old jailhouse. Overall, I'm satisfied. Would like to make the trek for another visit if or when I'm back in town. I recommend you try out Clink for great North Atlantic Seafood and maybe sample a drink in the lobby bar, it's located in the hotel lobby rotunda, very one of a kind atmosphere.

Potato crusted cod, with fresh succotash, piquillo pepper puree, and lemon buerre blanc.

While visiting Boston, we enjoyed our experience at Clink. The food was prepared perfectly with a very good presentation. The service was very good. Our server Michael, was very personable and attentive.

Fantastic service at Clink. Very attentive and knowledgeable guy. We didn't try the food. We were 1 and out. I had the coast is clear. My friend had a naughty grandma.

Pizza
Ron M.

Four of us came here for during Thanksgiving weekend at which point of the lobby is decorated for Christmas. Ambience of the bar is the lobby. Some of the spaces are old jail cells left therefore the name. The staff is not particularly friendly they are very determined in their craft. The board was extremely lively when we got there but the drinks and decent and the one and beer selection are also decent. We ordered a pizza which was much better than expected. Overall satisfied but could be better. For really good cocktails need to go elsewhere.

Turkey Dinner
Alex V.

Stayed a couple nights at the Liberty Hotel. This review is for the restaurant only. I enjoyed the hotel, everyone was kind, service was top notch, and you felt at a high end hotel. Sadly, the restaurant was the exact opposite. I clocked total dine time at nearly 2 hours. The server checked on us possibly twice. The saving grace would have been the food, but it was fairly uneventful. The turkey was okay, but the gravy was tasteless and the stuffing had a weird sweet taste to it. The mashed potatoes were not homemade. The cost was about $150 once you add a side salad for two. There is a ton of good food in Boston, I would suggest using your time and money elsewhere.

Brunch with my besties
Pam S.

Came in last Sunday with my besties (elementary & high school) we had a lovely brunch. Service was excellent and the food was ok. I didn't like their breakfast potatoes though and the Acai Bowl was a letdown (see the photos) This location is such a nice place to meet... in a gorgeous trendy hotel. Easy to find and Valet was amiable and affordable (I think it was $35.00) I had a French Martini and it was delicious! Respectfully Reviewed

Staying at this hotel, I decided to try their complimentary breakfast this morning -- and it was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the pancakes, and they were excellent -- crispy on the edges, soft and fluffy inside. The sausage was especially memorable, juicy and packed with flavor. The presentation was also nice, with the "CLINK" logo dusted on top of the pancakes -- a fun touch. Overall, I would say this was a 5-star breakfast experience. I'm excited that I still have another morning here and hope to try more items on their breakfast menu during this trip. One more highlight is that the restaurant and hotel are located in a former jail, and they've preserved some of the old prison features and décor -- definitely worth checking out while you dine.

We came here for dinner on a Saturday night and the food did not disappoint. However, there was room for improvement in other areas. On a Saturday night, we would have expected the restaurant to be busy and full of life. However, the restaurant was a bit dead, with mostly empty tables and not much of an ambience. Additionally, they had an issue with their smoke fan system the night we were there. The smoke kept coming in waves and our eyes were watering. Very strange. We asked out waiter what was going on and he was not helpful and had a bit of an attitude about it. Also strange... Luckily, the food was really great - like exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend the salmon entrée. The tuna appetizer was amazing as well. Overall, the service and ambiance wasn't great so I would probably recommend going somewhere else, but in a pinch, this does have great food, and it's next to the liberty bar with the upside down Christmas trees so it is easy to grab a drink there after dinner.

Salmon with summer vegetables
Quan D.

We came here for breakfast everyday since we got that as the option for the Marriott welcome gift for platinum +. The breakfast included option for the continental breakfast or you can choose a different option up to $28/pp credit. I like that you didn't have to sign for anything if you didn't exceed the amount. All the breakfast items I tried were very good. My favorite was the smoked salmon that came with a perfectly toasted bagel, capers, arugula, and half a lemon. We also came here for dinner one night and it was pretty good as well. I think for dinner I would recommend Scampo downstairs instead because the seating there is much nicer and more comfortable. They have more options for dinner as well. Clink has the whole jail house setting and most of the seats, you are sitting on a wooden chair. The service at Clink was very good, though.

Stopped by here twice while we were staying in the Liberty Hotel for dinner and breakfast. I love the theme through the restaurant and entire hotel. The fact they incorporated the jail theme was amazing. Starting with breakfast the food was good. Nothing was stand out, but everything was rather tasty. I did appreciate that the requests for items on the side were made. I know sometimes that can be annoying. Only downside was with other patrons. There was a group next to us that were so loud with a lot of children playing and throwing toys. It definitely tainted the experience however I know that doesn't have anything to do with the restaurant. Now we dinner it was amazing. The food did take a while to come out, but I think it was worth the wait. The starter bread hit the spot! Absolutely delicious along with the oysters. The meals are rather large, I think you could almost share. We had a table of four and if we could go back I would share three meals because we had a lot left over. Our waiter I believe his name was Ben was great. On top of our food orders and constantly refilling out drink. I would recommend if you are in the area or staying at the hotel. Can probably skip breakfast though. Overall 4/5 stars!

I've gone here twice now and have had great experiences each time! I went the Saturday after Halloween and the bar was dead. I was able to very easily get a barstool and enjoy two cocktails. I got a cool dia de los muertos themed drink with a syringe. The second time I went was a Saturday in December. It was PACKED. The Christmas trees were up and the place looked extra cute. There was a long wait to order a drink at the bar and the whole bar was standing room only. We took our drinks up to the third floor since there were some empty seats there. Still a five star experience either way!

Expresso martini
RJ L.

This is located on the second floor of the Liberty hotel in Boston. We actually didn't sit IN the bar we sat in the hotel lobby at a table as there was a DJ playing on Friday night. While we weren't there for the food we did order a few things. The beat salad, oysters and chicken tacos. The oysters were good EXCEPT one which was bad and they came out with a new one... they didn't really apologize or comp anything but you could smell that it was bad. If we didn't know oysters well it could have been a bad case of food poising. The chicken tacos had lots of flavor, a bit of heat and a good portion. The beet salad had a very nice and creamy whipped ricotta that lined the plate. Tagline for the night: expensive but great vibe. Martini $21 Parking we used their valet. Would definitely go back for the DJ.

Best place to park?

Usually find a spot on the first block of Charles Street, then walk under the T towards the Liberty Hotel.

That worked out great, we had almost no wait. The place was full. There were alot of people enjoying the food menu, which we didn't plan on since we had dinner reservations elsewhere for later. But we got a couple of drinks. There are many types of speakeasies. The Wig Shop is one of favorite kinds, classy. The drinks were alcohol forward, with elegant presentations. It was perfect. It was nice that the universe pointed us towards this great Boston spot.
