    This was my first time here and I had a really great time! The food was delicious - you get to choose exactly what you want, and they cook it right there for you. The service was excellent too, and I loved watching them prepare our meals. The place was clean and really busy, which is always a good sign! I definitely plan to come back.

    Good place to host holiday events since there's something for everyone. I tried their mussels and they were not fresh and inedible. The salmon is good especially with the lemon butter sauce but I would avoid the calamari. The Lava flow was sickly sweet I'd recommend just getting the pina colada. I do like how it's DIY and you can grab as many servings as you like. The chefs prepared our ingredients right in front of us which was fun to watch. I just wished their ingredients were fresher

    "You can fly, you can glide, you can dream You can see through this interactive vision stream" (Yes) The Fire + Ice website describes their restaurant experience as "interactive", so what exactly does that mean? Well, if you've ever been to a Mongolian Barbecue/Grill place before, you know the answer. You walk through their huge variety of vegetables, starches, proteins, sauces, and toppings, then bring your dish to their big circular grille where it gets cooked up right before your eyes. The versatility of the ingredients and sauces gives you Asian, Italian, American, and Latin accented meals. I've been to Fire + Ice at other locations in Cambridge, MA and Nanuet NY, but those locations are long gone. In fact, The Boston Fire + Ice is just one of their four remaining locations, alongside Anaheim, Lake Tahoe, and San Francisco. Dining here is a very fun experience. This place is kind of like the twisted lovechild of a salad bar and an all-you-can- buffet. The salad bar has all kinds of vegetables and pastas that will sooner or later end up in your dinner. And there are plenty of proteins - raw chicken or beef or seafood or fish. The game-plan is this- you fill up your bowl with as much as you can cram in there, pour any of a dozen sauces into a small cup, and walk on over to an enormous circular grill where the staff will cook up your concoction. They push and probe your food with giant spatulas until thoroughly cooked, add your sauce as a finishing touch, then pour the hot steaming mass onto your plate. The sauces can make your concoction into any ethnic food in the world- from Thai to Mexican to Szechuan to whatever. The place is a hoot, and our private party of 35 loved it.

    It's been a while since I've been to Fire+Ice. I used to frequent the location in Harvard Square quite often (many happy memories of Tuesday college nights), but alas that location is long gone. I was finally able to visit the downtown location recently but unfortunately things do not feel quite the same. The variety is still there - tons of carbs, veggies, meats, and a robust salad bar. The sauce bar is missing a few of my old faves (and I can't even remember their names to tell you which). There was only one griller working while I was there, and the attention to cleaning and scrubbing the large grill was not as meticulous as it was in the past. When I sat down with my plate, the flavors just felt really bland - likely a result of not having the sauce I was used to. It *is* all you can eat so make sure to get your money's worth!

    Haha, I havent been here in 20 yrs. I was at meetings and had to get a quick lunch and saw this place. The place hasnt changed in 20 yrs. Same stuff, cept lunch they dont have steak or shrimp??? 19$ for lunch. They had everything there pretty much cept the only beef was shreaded steak. I made 2 plates and was full. The place was pretty empty for a friday lunch in back bay. For 19$ and if you are really hungry, is a good deal. See you in another 20 yrs lol!

    6pc Wing - Buffalo

    I came to Fire + Ice on Saturday to celebrate two friends' birthdays. We had a group of 7 and our reservation was for 7:30, but they still allowed us to be seated after we arrived 15 minutes late. It was my first time coming and I thought it was alright, but nothing to go out of your way for. It was very busy and the sitrfry/buffet line was pretty long. Our servers name was Erick. He asked if any of us were new to the restaurant, and when we said yes, he asked if anyone at the table wanted to explain how the buffet concept worked, which I found funny. He took our drinks and let us know the bar was backed up so it might be a bit. The bar forgot to send one of our drinks with the rest so one friend had to wait a little longer for hers. I ordered the Mai Tai and I thought it was so good, just strong enough. Another friend ordered a Lava Flow, great if you like sweet, fruity blended drinks. Four of us got the buffet plates, and they all had good things to say about their food. I ordered the Pork Dumplings app. I thought they were a little dry, and I would've preferred a soy dipping sauce over the spicy, thicker sauce they provided, but it wasn't bad. My friend ordered the Buffalo Wings app and she really enjoyed them. The portions were reasonable for the price. We also let Erick know we had two birthday girls, and he brought out one bowl of ice cream with two candles and the staff sang happy birthday, which they appreciated. The only other hiccup was when we got our bill, we noticed they'd accidentally added an extra buffet plate. Glad we caught that! It was quickly fixed and we headed out. It seems like the food and drinks are decent and you can have an enjoyable meal here, but it seems a little chaotic on weekend nights and the service was hit or miss. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

    For me, this place has a sense of nostalgia since I remember coming here as a little kid with my family in big groups. Unique dining experience where you get to pick what you want in your stirfry, whether it be pasta, rice, just vegetables or protein, or a make your own quesadilla or burger. I've always liked how much you can customize here! I typically don't come here with people who have food allergies due to the fact that food from other people's entrees on the grill (since they're all cooked altogether on the center grill) can often spill into your row and touch your food. My friend also ordered one of the customizable sets they recommended on one of their posters on the wall, which was a mac and cheese burger assembled on the grill which was pretty good! Plenty of seating inside for large groups, and I believe there is still a student discount on Mondays! (We went on a Friday night). Service was decent, left full, and had a fun experience here!

    The concept of the restaurant is really cool. In short, you pay one price for all you can eat stir fry+more...so come hungry. Like a DIY buffet. They have different stations with raw ingredients which you grab your choices, then bring them over to the grill. From raw fish to noodles to vegetables, there's everything! Then you choose a sauce and bring that up as well. They have sauces from stir fry to mac n cheese sauce. Not only bowls, but you can have them make you burgers, steak and cheese subs, and other things like that. We got there 30 min to close but still was able to eat a lot and left full. However I suggest not doing that and giving yourself ample time so you're not rushing and can choose from everything. I will say too, I was overwhelmed from all of the choices, so don't be afraid to walk around and plan out your meals. I definitely over did it with portion sizes at first and ended up getting full way too fast. Also, be creative! Use the spices and toppings to really season your ingredients. I threw together basics but saw others around me really putting thought into their dishes which gave them a more elevated experience. They did have some suggestions on the wall of dishes you could create but I saw it too late. Overall cool concept and good price considering how much you can eat.

    I love fire & ice! I used to go to the Providence RI location until they closed it down. I like how you can pick out your own raw food items and season them. You do not necessarily have to make a stir fry as people have written here, if you prefer things on the side, then have them do it separately. The chefs seem to really enjoy their job & even show off some skill. The food is definitely good for the price & I think they have a good amount of options. I didn't like the seating arrangements that much here as they barely have any booths, for that I took off one star, but the staff was kind and food is good. We went for the brunch menu on a sunday, so we could get breakfast too, which consists of omelettes, pancakes and delicious crepes. Highly recommend!!

We also spent an hour at the King Tut exhibit across the street! This restaurant/bar always seems packed. And, with reservations for 645pm (highly recommend) the bar was quite busy. The buzz from this high-end cocktail bar is exactly what you want on a Friday evening; From girlfriends sipping their wine to couples laughing and swirling their cocktails, Moon Bar is for the classy and sexy. Abby our server is excellent! A mixologist who knows all the cocktails and can recommend based on your preference. I tried one of their new cocktails with bourbon and did not care for it. Abby made me my mezcal drink that I have ordered before...its the 305 cowboy, an extremely popular drink. A must try for sure! Note: Some bartenders make you feel guilty for saying something about a drink you ordered and did not like. But, here at Moon Bar, Abby was so gracious to make me something that I will enjoy. Hats off to her:) Food: Since it was restaurant week we just shared everything. For starters we ordered the Tuna Tartare that was excellent. Then, we had Piri-Piri Chicken Thighs that were also good but quite spicy. For dessert, we shared the Caribbean Tiramisu, which was great. It was a tough choice between this and the Guava Cheesecake. We were so full that we ended up bringing home leftovers. Oh, I also forgot to mention we always order their Curry Fries - a must try when coming here Trust Me. My husband doesn't love curry but he loves these fries and you will too. #friesaretodiefor Moon Bar, thanks for being amazing in every way.

In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.
