Summer's here so it's time to hit up the rooftop bars and enjoy the beautiful weather! Sky Lounge…read moreis located on the top floor of the Yotel Hotel. 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!

Who doesn't love a Penthouse bar?…read more After you enter Yotel, make a left to the elevators. Once inside, hit that shiny PF button and enjoy the ride. I like how it is set up like a lounge, where they have couches available for big and small groups. You can also just sit at the bar to grab a drink. There are also tables on the terrace, but it is not always open during the winter months. When the door is unlocked, it is worth checking out the view for a couple of minutes. The bartenders can be a bit hit-and-miss, depending on the night. I wouldn't take that personally. Just order your drink and focus on your company. They will come around like 15 minutes before closing and asking you to close your tabs. Supposedly their lobby bar stays open later than 11 PM, but my friends and I tried going then got turned away by the lobby bar as well. I have always had GIN CRAZE $14 (Beefeater gin, lemon, simple, raspberry puree). It is pretty solid.

There were several different games to play while competing with the people in your lane and comfy seating to rest and socialize in when it wasn't your turn. One of the highlights for me was the food. The buffalo chicken sliders were SO good. They had perfectly cooked and tender chicken meat paired with delicious sauces. It was by far the most popular item we got and lots of people went back for seconds. I'm personally not the biggest fan of darts, but it was also an enjoyable experience to just chat while watching the ongoing games and trying the food.

This is one of the worst nightclubs I have ever been to…read more There was a pretty popular DJ playing here that I was ecstatic to see, so I bought tickets in advance to go see them. It was also one of the official afterparties for Breakaway Mass. The ticket I purchased was also for "floor standing" btw. Little did I know that the "floor" I was expecting to be on when I purchased my ticket online was actually the entire vip area that was barricaded. So the actual dance floor where the DJ is, is ridiculously far from common areas that it just made it hard to enjoy. If that's how it was going to be, AT LEAST PUT THAT SOMEWHERE???? I never would have gone and wasted my time in the first place!! Extremely misleading. At least it was only $25. If you weren't in VIP, you had to be above the stairs next to the bar area and the sofas where there's even less space! Additionally, the crowd here is weak and rude. The workers seemed rude too. Everybody, including those on the dance floor were just standing and going on their phones, not a single person dancing. You needed a wristband to go down to the vip area, and I also noticed only a certain type of person was getting wristbands to go down there *cough cough* ANYWAYS, this was my first impression of Boston nightlife and it was clearly not a good one. At least this subpar experience was good for one thing: it's made me realize how ever-so grateful I am to be a socal resident where nightlife is much better and I will never take it for granted again so thank you :)

And if you like pina coladas and getting mocked in the face…read more Or however that song goes! Back in August me and my friends went out for a girls night only for the bartender to ruin it. I had drank my drink and thought the alcohol was a little low and asked if she could remake it. Instead of gently declining she said all the staff are required to pour a certain amount of liquor per drink and out of curiosity I asked what that amount was. She took it for attitude and asked "why, are you a bartender"... She then asked who made my drink and I pointed at a bartender on the other end then she took a stray pen and THREW IT at another bartender's head then ushered for them to come over. The bartender started whispering in their coworkers ear and for a good five minutes they stared at me, giggling, not acknowledging my request and mocked me as if we're back in high school... Later in the night my friend orders a round of shots and that same bartender who made it gave her attitude as well. The Grand, if you're going to hire High School staff, at this point just invite teenagers then. Never coming back, if you enjoy getting packed like sardines, smelling ball sweat and weed, and listening to cardiac arrest EDM beats. Well then, be their guest.

Starting with the most important part- FOOD: If it's a table…read moreshare, you'll have to order multiple apps. But all the apps were cooked very well, delicious. Ribs perfect, glad they were meaty pieces and not scrawny bones. Entrees: (and yes I tried all!) I am a steak fiend and was expecting more from the pallet but it was just eh OK. Salmon was dry and bland wish it was paired with a sauce and side dish but it was a big portion of just rice and fish. The BEST dish was the creole pasta and the two piece. I was not expecting that two piece to be the entire fowl! It was huge and tasty, not dry, biscuit was sweet and moist ! But the entrees are a good portion ! Ambience: Chic music lounge. Atmosphere is nice. It's a small/tight place, the pictures make it look bigger. We were a party of 6, sat at a booth. So some will have their back towards the stage but there's a tv screen of live view. Service: waitress was nice/attentive until it got later. Then it was harder to get someone to our table. the place turned more into a full lounge. Singer/band: perfect Drinks- kudos to the bar tenders: just right! Mixed well! Gratuity and an entertainment fee are included in the bill. Would I go back- YES

My friend and I came here for a Thursday night dinner! It does kind of have a more post-work…read moreHH/company dinner feel, but we still enjoyed our time! We ordered the dip trio, the spanakopita, the feta 2.0, the scallops, and the gnocchi moussaka. The feta 2.0 was an absolute hit (got too excited so forgot to take a picture). The feta was soft and creamy, wrapped in fried phyllo, and soaked in honey. So unbelievably delicious. The spanakopita was also a favorite for us--it was served on a bed of tzatziki and was perfectly seasoned. The dip trio was generally delicious, but the butternut squash hummus was a bit underwhelming. The scallops were tasty, but perhaps a bit overcooked. I did really enjoyed our the gnocchi moussaka but it is a bit salty. Service was quick and our server made sure to check in with us multiple times throughout the night. It definitely felt like a more loud and lively environment. A great option in Seaport that I will keep on my list!

Super Bowl weekend in the Seaport has a certain hum to it. Not chaotic. Not frantic. Just alive…read more Committee was vibing. We had a 6:30 reservation on Saturday night, table for four, friends in town for the game the next day. The room was full, the bar glowing in the background, conversations layered over music that felt present but not overpowering. It felt like a place that knows it's a hot spot and moves with that rhythm comfortably. Our table sat toward the front near the windows, clearly in the dining zone. The reservation mattered. We felt placed, not squeezed in. The staff moved like they were ready for the crowd, not reacting to it. We opened with cocktails. I kept it simple, a whiskey ginger. The first one came out wrong. I mentioned it casually, and our waiter handled it exactly how you hope a good restaurant does, no drama, no awkward pause, just "of course" and a fresh one in front of me quickly. Smooth, professional, easy. We started light with the marinated olives. Nothing flashy, just quality Peloponnese olives dressed with orange zest and champagne vinaigrette. The citrus was subtle, more of a soft sweetness than a statement. The vinaigrette coated them nicely without drowning them. Not a must-order, but a quiet signal that the kitchen cares about ingredients. If you love olives, you'll appreciate them. If you skip them, you won't feel like you missed the night. Then came the zucchini crisps, which for me are the cornerstone of any serious Greek restaurant. You can tell a lot from how a kitchen handles something that simple. These passed. They arrived stacked high, golden, crisp enough that you could hear the crunch. Not greasy, not limp, not overly thick. We came hungry, and they didn't last long. What makes or breaks a zucchini chip is the sauce, and here it was the harissa lemon aioli. It gave the dish its defining personality. A little heat, a little brightness, enough depth to keep you going back for another one. We demolished them. That tells you everything. The roasted carrots followed, and they did exactly what a great vegetable dish should do. Honey gave them a gentle sweetness that paired well with the pistachio dukkah. The carrots themselves carried that earthy backbone that holds everything together. Most importantly, they were cooked right. Tender enough to cut easily, but still with a slight bite. No mush. Just clean execution and thoughtful seasoning. By the time the scallops hit the table, the kitchen had earned our trust. They were beautifully done, properly seared with a golden edge and tender inside. The parsnip and pear puree felt inventive but grounded, adding depth without pushing the dish too sweet. The pomegranate kept it bright. Yes, they are expensive. But quality in the Seaport costs what it costs, and these felt worth it. The octopus was the star of the night. I've only recently come around to octopus after having it done well at a few great spots around Boston. When it's right, it hits that perfect middle ground. It has the tenderness of a well-cooked piece of meat, but carries that clean saltwater backbone from the sea. Not fishy. Not delicate like salmon. More like a piece of chicken from the ocean, firm, clean, satisfying. Committee nailed it. There was real char. The kind that seals in flavor and gives you that grilled depth. It had bite without resistance, tender without falling apart. The 'nduja ragu and marble potatoes grounded it without overpowering. It felt composed but not overworked. If you're ordering one dish here, this is the one. And then the lamb. Sometimes you just want a piece of meat done right. No theatrics. No overthinking. These were beautifully done. Full bone-in chops, about twelve ounces each. We ordered four total for the table because we knew everyone would want a piece, and that instinct was correct. You could tear through a whole rack if you let yourself. Juicy, rich, not aggressively gamey, just clean and satisfying. The Greek whipped potatoes were smooth and comforting, the salsa verde sharp and classic, cutting through the richness exactly how it should. At $29, it's not cheap. But when lamb is this good, price stops being part of the conversation. Committee isn't trying to be quiet. It's lively. It's confident. It knows it's a scene. But behind the energy is a kitchen that understands balance, texture, and how to execute Mediterranean staples without overcomplicating them. On a weekend built around a game, this felt like a win.

Located in the…read moreSeaport, it has a trendy, modern vibe with dim lighting, sleek decor, and a lively atmosphere, definitely a good choice for a night out with friends, a birthday dinner, or even a date. The menu leans pan-Asian with a big focus on sushi, small plates, and shareable dishes. There's a lot of variety, so it's easy to order a mix of things for the table. The sushi is fresh and nicely presented, and the specialty rolls feel creative without being overcomplicated. The hot dishes are flavorful and come out well-timed, which makes sharing easy and enjoyable. We tried the Peking duck, which was flavorful and similar to other high-quality versions we've had in the past. The mapo tofu was also good, though not as numbing as we would've liked. Service is generally attentive and professional, and the staff handles larger tables and busy nights well. Overall, Empire is a solid Seaport go-to if you're looking for Asian food, cool ambiance, and a fun night out.

Our travels brought us to The Envoy Hotel, Autograph Collection in Boston's vibrant Seaport…read moreDistrict as we attended an awards ceremony hosted by the Boston Marine Society, and from the moment we arrived, the experience exceeded expectations. The hotel is perfectly situated at 70 Sleeper Street in the heart of downtown Boston, offering convenient access to many of the city's most historic and recognizable destinations. From our room, we enjoyed stunning views of Boston Harbor and the surrounding skyline, especially as the weather rolled across the waterfront and the city lights began reflecting off the water in the evening. The room itself was modern, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with a clean nautical-inspired aesthetic that felt perfectly suited to Boston's maritime character. Large windows flooded the space with natural light and created an atmosphere that made it difficult not to pause occasionally just to admire the view. One of the things that stood out most during our stay was the exceptional hospitality of the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, professional, accommodating, and genuinely eager to help. We arrived several hours before the normal check-in time, and the staff went above and beyond to prepare our room early for us, which was greatly appreciated after a long day of travel. The hotel is also conveniently located within walking distance of landmarks such as Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, and many other historic sites throughout the city. If there is a minor drawback, it would simply be the absence of a swimming pool, though the hotel compensates for this with a very well-equipped fitness center and outstanding overall accommodations. We are staying through the weekend to enjoy more of the city, including a guided tour of Fenway Park, which we are very much looking forward to experiencing. If your travels bring you to Boston, I highly recommend The Envoy Hotel. Between the spectacular waterfront views, outstanding location, modern accommodations, and exceptional staff, this hotel delivers an experience that feels distinctly Boston in all the right ways.

While this location didn't have a concierge lounge, it did have a really good restaurant. I had some amazing breakfast. Fitness-center-wise, they had enough options and equipment to offer a good full body workout for a hotel. Overall, I was happy with the property and will look to stay at the same place during future visits.
