It's a nice place to relax prior to boarding your train. The bathrooms are clean and the chairs are clean. There's free snacks and coffee at the front. While it's a lot better than waiting for your train at South Station, I can't see myself returning to the lounge.

We rolled the dice on the lobster tacos, since the description sounded too good to pass up, and came out aces. The lobster seemed fresh to me, was cooked properly, and went well with the spicy chilies and acidic aioli. We also ordered the al pastor nachos, which were honestly better than most bar nachos around. The service was a little slow, but thats because there only seemed to be two staff members, including the one guy mixing drinks. Aka - mgmt fault, not the pleasant servers.

Once you get in, there's a small lounge area on the left and then a larger lounge area straight ahead where the bar is. They have small tables with couches and local artwork ond display. For their drinks, their mixed drinks are average, but they only had 3 beers on draft which was a disappointment. They do serve some bar food and snacks, but like the drinks they're overpriced. I've been here twice and there's usually a wait for the rooftop. Once on a Saturday I was quoted up to a 3 hour wait that was actually 45 minutes and on a Sunday it was a 15 minute wait. I put my name down and got a friendly text when my turn was up. The view is pretty good, but not the best since it's not by the water so it's mostly looking at the city and large apartment complexes. The rooftop is small with 4-5 tables, a TV, and some seats. It seems like they allow around 40 people in at a time. Overall, this a cool place to hang out with friends this summer!

It is super well-priced at $15/person for 1.5 hours of gameplay which is more than enough for 2 people. They have a bunch of interactive dart games, including classic, and we were able to play all of them multiple times. Additionally, they have Rookie/Normal/Pro lines on the ground so you can choose where to stand and you don't have to be a professional dart player by any means to play these games. The staff is also super friendly. The only concern I had was that the staff wasn't super attentive to our dart table, so despite us clicking the request service button a few times, my girlfriend had to head to the bar to get our drinks and start a tab. My girlfriend's drink was not good either... it was a vodka mixed drink with a salt rim and it was just too salty. It would've been much better with a sugar rim I think. Other than that though, it was an amazing time and I'd highly recommend Flight Club for a date night, outing with friends, or corporate event!

The atmosphere was on point, and the music selection only made the experience better. Every song fit the vibe perfectly and added to that cool, hidden-gem feel. It happened to be trivia night, so people were already lining up near the screen getting ready to compete. We had only flown into the city a few hours earlier, so we opted to sit in the other room for a quieter evening. Not a complaint at all. The energy was fun to watch, but we were definitely in relaxation mode after traveling. There was also a conference happening at a nearby hotel, so the place filled up quickly. Even with the crowd, the bartender taking care of us remained incredibly attentive, checking in often and never making us feel forgotten. Excellent service in a busy room always stands out. We ordered three cocktails and every one was delicious. The Coconut Confidential was creamy and refreshing, basically a liquid piña colada. The Velvet Elvis packed a punch with the Jack Daniel's and Chambord. My favorite of the night was the Sassy Cactus Sip. The prickly pear flavor was fantastic and had me wishing I ordered a second. For food we shared the garlic broccoli, pretzel bites with cheese, and the artichoke dip with chips. Unexpectedly, the real MVP was dipping the broccoli into the artichoke dip. It absolutely hit the spot.

Didn't have food but did have drinks at the bar. Two pumpkin beers and a rhubarb margarita…read more Margarita was amazing. Nice to sit and talk to the bartenders. Nice to listen to live music. Would definitely go back.

I came here last night with my friend after an event in the Seaport area. We went around 8:30 pm…read morewhich meant street parking was free and thankfully we found one around the corner a few feet away. They do offer outdoor seating but given that it was slightly drizzling and extremely windy, we stayed inside. We sat at the bar and I ordered Nick's world famous cocktail ($18) while she ordered the afterglow ($20). Nick's was a little thick and almost had the consistency of a puree. It was not too strong or sweet but still fruity tasting. Instead of a garnish, there was a picture of a Nick clothe pinned to the side. We weren't too hungry, so we ordered a couple of small plates: the tuna tartare and the feta 2.0. This place is actually perfect for snacking / light meals since their menu is a modern take on "Meze," or small shareable plates (think tapas). The tuna tartare was incredible. The fish, cucumbers and tomatoes tasted very fresh, but the star of the show was definitely the sauce which I think was a mixture of ponzu, togarashi, and cilantro tzatziki. It was spicy, but slightly creamy, but very herby and light. I loved that the pita chips were crispy; they paired well with the dish and they brought out a good ratio of chips to tartare. The feta cheese was also good. It was wrapped in crispy phyllo and topped with honey and sesame seeds. The honey provided a slight sweetness but not enough to overpower the salty and sharp taste of the fresh feta. This plate does not come with anything which was kind of odd so we asked for pita on the side. I wish we had asked for warm pita, or baked pita because it was a little dry. I was impressed with the flavors and quality of each dish as well as the attention of the servers and staff. There's a relaxed vibe as the lights are dim and interior design is classy.

Not a vegan friendly restaurant. One of us is vegan so I called ahead and asked if they had any vegan options. They said yes, and that the server would help us pick out items. The server did not help at all and was not willing to make substitutions, etc. Ambiance was cool. If you're going in the summertime around the evening, it's fun to sit outside!

Empire Boston: Amazing Food, Frustrating Service & a Birthday Plot Twist!…read more While visiting my sister in Boston, she treated me to a belated birthday dinner at Empire. I'd checked the Yelp reviews beforehand and wasn't impressed, but it was too late to cancel our reservation. Little did I know, the evening would turn into a whole production -- literally! Let's start with the service because WHEW! We changed our reservation from 7:45 to 8:30 p.m. and received confirmation, only to arrive and be told we were late. Despite showing proof, the hostess said she couldn't see the change and offered us seats in the bar lounge, warning we'd need to eat quickly because the tables would be removed at 10 p.m. for their late-night party. After waiting nearly 10 minutes without service, I spoke to the hostess, who suddenly found us a proper dining table. Great! Except we waited ANOTHER 10 minutes for our server. Thankfully, a barback brought us water. Small victories! Now, the food? THAT was the saving grace! My sister ordered a Lychee Martini, while I went with the Pink Lotus, which was STRONG and much appreciated after that seating debacle! For appetizers, we enjoyed the Wagyu Truffle Gyoza and Blackened Tuna with crispy sushi rice. Both were delicious! For entrées, we shared the Sriracha Buttermilk Chicken with truffled potatoes and Drunken Noodles loaded with shrimp, scallops, and calamari. We also added garlic bok choy because what's dinner without a green vegetable? Everything was absolutely wonderful! The flavors, presentation, and execution were excellent. Honestly, the food earned Empire an additional Yelp star despite the rocky start. Then came the birthday plot twist! By 10 p.m., the restaurant was transitioning into its late-night party scene. The music was getting louder, the crowd was growing, and I was ready to GO! We noticed staff singing and carrying birthday signs to other tables. When our server offered dessert, I quickly declined. After a suspiciously short bathroom trip by my sister, the birthday singing started AGAIN. I told her, "Let's pay and GO!" Except this time, the singing and flashing lights stopped RIGHT AT OUR TABLE! I turned around to see a giant birthday sign with MY NAME and an elaborate dessert platter! My sister had arranged the entire surprise in advance, which explained why canceling wasn't an option. The complimentary platter featured Triple Chocolate Cake, Fried Ice Cream Sundae, and Coconut Flaming Baked Alaska. Everything was delicious, and we took most of it home for my brother-in-law. Despite the frustrating evening, the birthday presentation was beautiful and incredibly thoughtful. Final verdict? Great food, beautiful surprise, but disappointing service. Our server was pleasant and doing his best while juggling several large groups, but the overall experience was poorly managed. Between the reservation confusion, seating issues, long waits, and pressure to finish before the late-night party, it simply wasn't the upscale experience I'd expect at these prices. Empire delivered on the food and birthday celebration, but the service and overall value fell short. Would I return? No, thanks! But shoutout to my sister for pulling off such a thoughtful surprise despite the chaos. She understood the assignment, even if Empire didn't quite deliver on theirs!
