    Outside the restaurant
    Susan D.

    Stopped by for breakfast while staying in the (Langham) hotel. I had experienced some disruptions during my hotel stay and was admittedly a bit cranky from the early wake up due to noisy guests. The host asked how my stay was and I didn't complain-just said it was 'okay.' Most people would have just ignored that. Instead, he asked questions and I told him my first world woes. He wanted to help but I advised that someone was already engaged in this issue. I noticed he spoke to my server and I suspected he told her I had some challenges. She was extra friendly and helpful with suggestions. After I ordered, the host brought over a complimentary fruit plate. It was beautiful. I couldn't eat it all but my server packed it to go- it was the freshest fruit I've had all winter. My lobster eggs Benedict was good- not a large portion of lobster but tasty. Beautiful space and friendly service would bring me back.

    this place is so pretty! the ambiance with the christmas decor makes it amazing vibe for brunch. They had a fair selection of vegetarian and non veg options. Our food also came out really fast with good attention to detail. Overall great brunch place!

    I stayed at The Langham hotel and was here for breakfast. Had a bit of a wait time (20 mins) when I first got there on a Sunday, but they were nice about it and let us bring our coffee in that we got while waiting. Food was expensive (~$90 for everything pictured with tax/tip) for breakfast/brunch, but it was good for what it was though nothing mind blowing. The waitress did mix up the checks when she provided my bill at the end, but she was apologetic and nice about it. Overall a good experience with good service, decent food, and a nice location

    Stayed at the Langham and had breakfast credit from Amex so we ate at the Grana and its absolutely beautiful inside. The food was great as well. Service was amazing our waiters were super attentive. I ordered the pastry basket and the croissants were amazing and flaky. It is a bit pricey if youre paying out of pocket. I wish they gave a few more potatoes with the breakfasts but other than that everything was amazing.

    I had the most fantastic experience here celebrating my hunny's birthday. It is located inside of the Langham Hotel, which is a beautiful luxurious hotel in downtown Boston. There is no open lot parking, so you are restricted to street or valet parking. When you enter the hotel someone will guide you to the restaurant which is a small walk from the lobby area of the hotel. The restaurant is absolutely GORGEOUS! Beautifully decorated for Christmas, the walls are lined with pictures of previous presidents and the whole aesthetic is very posh. Our waiter was so sweet and kind, and was prompt in taking our orders and discussing the specials of the day. My man ordered the lobster roll with fries and I got a pasta dish. Both were absolutely delicious. I also ordered some kind of pear mimosa and it was the most wonderful way to start of my time there. My ONLY hang up is that their menu is heavily salad based - like they seem to have a lot of salad entrees which isn't bad but a girl likes carbs lols. Other than that, had the most wonderful time and definitely recommend.

    Wow, wow, wow! We were in town visiting family and came in for Brunch at Grana. Our group of 4 decided to order several different dishes so we could all share, and I'm so glad we did! From the Lemon cello French toast and Scottish eggs (with a delicious Dijon sauce and pickled mushrooms), to their unique take on Sausage gravy and biscuits (they serve it over pasta instead) and the show stopping Cannoli pancakes, each dish quickly became our favorite! Our server Jacque was so attentive and charming. And the pastry chef Richard even sent out a special dessert tray for us! If I lived in Boston, this place would be my go-to weekend ritual! Our kudos to the chef(s)!!

    I had such an amazing brunch experience here! I went on my birthday and included that on my reservation notes. Upon check-in at the host stand they immediately asked me about the note and wished me a happy birthday! Every part of the service was amazing. Our waitress was kind and helpful. Then the manager(?) came over to ensure everything was going well and made kind offerings for my birthday :) this restaurant and hotel is so beautiful and the food is good too. I loved my guava mocktail and was so pleased they allowed me to customize the garnishes on top so I could add cotton candy! Such a great spot for a special occasion

    Excellent brunch! Great food and cocktails. Historical setting. Waitress ervice was decent but under par considering price point and hotel quality. Def would go again.

    Egg Benedict and blueberry pancakes
    Anastasiya P.

    The Benedict was amazing. Probably the best one I ever had! So delicious we want to be back already. Beautiful place and servers are very friendly. The only downside is the price. This was our brunch before we got married at city hall so we didn't mind it!

    The secret menu shake. This was a pumpkin pie theme for November. It changes monthly. Check their Instagram.

    I don't understand the dismal reviews for this beautiful brunch spot. I stayed at the hotel for three nights while in town for the Boston Half Marathon and had breakfast included so had breakfast and brunch here all three days. Each day was wonderful with excellent service, food, ambiance and timing of my tickets. I believe earlier issues have been seen in these reviews and addressed by management bc I was worried about all I had read and experienced none of it happened to me. My server the entire time, Jean, was polite, professional, prompt, around often, and all my food was out within minutes of order. My drinks never took longer than 5 minutes (including smoothies and hot tea) and my food never took longer than 10 minutes and I had a range of items. Over three days I tried: -Overnight Oats - served with strawberries, cacao and a hazelnut crunch -Almond Cinnamon and Berry Smoothies - fresh and yummy, nice size too -Egg Benedict - perfectly poached eggs, delicious bread, and perfectly cooked breakfast potatoes -Egg White Frittata - really really good! You can sub out mushrooms if needed. -Daily Danish/Muffin - ask for these warmed up! SUPER fresh and yummy. The danish when I was here was an apricot/almond and was stellar. I ordered it twice! -Hot Tea with cream / Dirty Chai Latte - both out in minutes and delish! -The Instagram Secret Milkshake - mine was a vanilla pumpkin pie creation. I had it after I ran the Boston Half Marathon - so fun. All my food was SO good! Warm, fresh, and out quickly. Service, down to the hostess, was wonderful and polite and prompt. I was never left looking for someone or waiting for my check. This restaurant is an old federal building and the elegance and charm has been preserved in the beautiful and classy ceiling and chandeliers, tabletop decor is gorgeous and classy as well. Highly, highly recommend. I'd come back in an instant! Prices are high - but it's a fancy hotel/establishment so I knew that going in (and my breakfast was mostly included in my stay).

    Note: only had the brunch. The vibe is really cool here - I love the historic space. Service was warm and friendly, and when our food was taking longer than expected - they brought us bakery items on the house. The food wasn't particularly great, especially for the price. My carbonara benedict came with only 4 small potatoes. The manicotti crepe was very thick, almost inedible - though the cured tomato was lovely. The Bloody Mary I ordered would've been great if they didn't let it sit and have the ice melt for 15 minutes at the bar. It was watery when I got it. The "Guava Be Kidding Me" drink was completely unbalanced. Cotton candy doesn't make for a very appropriate breakfast food - enough that's on us for ordering it. Wish we went somewhere else, to be honest.

    Fun atmosphere and great history of the location. Brunch was good but the lobster cannoli and the affogato were easily my favorite bites! Our waiter was very friendly!

    The Langham Boston is a fine historical landmark formerly housing the Federal Reserve Bank. These days, its former grand hall is now home to Grana. A sublime Itallian eatery where glamour meets worn-in authenticity carrying with it, an amazingly inviting atmosphere and ambiance. Grana is a wonderful place for a delicious breakfast to celebrate any of life's special occasions. And for myself, just so happens it was my birthday weekend The food was quite good with some dishes impressing more than others. Overall, Grana was a splendid kickstart to my birthday weekend celebration delivering a lovely combination of freshly vibrant foods, great service, and gorgeous views. Egg White Frittata roasted yam A bit on the healthier side for the folks are looking for something relatively light. The combination of the fried sage & fontina cheese pack a lovely flavor that makes this Egg White Frittata an absolute delight. Traditional Eggs Benedict Very traditional indeed. Nicely toasted & crunchy English muffins topped with house-made canadian bacon, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and served with a side of very nicely seasoned crispy potatoes. Very satisfying moment when you cut into that poached egg expecting the yolk to simply pour out. And that is precisely what happened. Blueberry Pancakes A stack of extremely fluffy, light and airy blueberry pancakes served with real maple syrup. Fresh Baked Croissant Absolutely delicious and perfectly baked fresh croissant. Soft with that wonderful crunch on the outside and just the right amount of butter to deliver that incredible flavor you yearn from a fresh baked croissant. Served with a side of different house-made jams almost as good as how mother would make And then, there was the bar... I'm certain it must have been 12pm somewhere so I refuse to be judged!! Very creative cocktail menu offering a variety of spirits mixed to perfection and served with upmost finesse. Trust me, sit down for a drink at the bar.

Thick-cut…read morebread, perfectly soft inside with a slight crisp on the edges, and loaded with Nutella without being overly messy. The strawberries and banana balanced it out so it didn't feel too heavy. Portion size was solid--borderline dessert-for-breakfast, but in a good way. Coffee was decent, nothing crazy. Place is small and gets packed, so expect a wait. Overall: great spot if you want something sweet and indulgent for brunch.

    I wasn't as impressed with Cafe Bonjour as my chum was, and it's clearly well-liked; part of it…read moremight have been the rainy weather, part of it might have been my lighter lunch selection but this one just didn't really hit with me. I stopped by in the early afternoon this past Monday with my top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality. This establishment is pretty close to a prior Airbnb we've stayed at and is in a neighborhood we've spent a solid amount of time in, so it's been off and on our radar for a few years. I'm pretty sure we attempted to stop by on an earlier trip but it was too busy - a tribute to the restaurant for sure. Two elements stood out to me almost immediately when we walked in, one good, one bad. On a positive note, the service was excellent - that came across in waves. This is a busy restaurant in a tourist area, and nine out of 10 times, the hospitality would suffer as a result. Not here; we were warmly received as soon as we walked in and were consistently attended to throughout our visit. Top notch in that regard. Con? Personal preference on my end, it just felt kind of grimy in there, like it had taken on the personality of its neighborhood, which is in my opinion not the best and has a homeless issue. There's definitely some personality in there - some gorgeous wood paneling and whatnot - but it was a little too chaotic/claustrophobic for me. I think there's a way they could upgrade the interior without compromising the uniqueness of Cafe Bonjour. I was at the part of our mini-vacation where I didn't necessarily have regrets over my food naughtiness, but my palate definitely needed some legitimate nourishment. I opted for the Signature Blueberry Bowl,, which predictably featured a great many blueberries, and was essentially an acai bowl interpretation with bananas and peanut butter (similar to the Acai Power Bowl at Playa Bowls). It was fine - good portion for what it was. I think they should have made it more...solid, if that makes sense. Like make the blended blueberry aspect quasi frozen so it had more substance to it. Without doing so, it just seemed too liquidy and harder to eat as a result. It was also a little bland and could have used an additional ingredient or two, and the hunks of peanut butter were difficult to blend into the bowl, so sometimes you'd end up inadvertently getting nothing but a mouthful of peanut butter. Not the best, but also probably not their biggest menu selling point. For what it's worth, my chum loved her dish (I think she got the Bennies) and enjoyed her time here immensely. This is one I'd like a do-over on and would be more than willing to come back with a better appetite and revisit - I don't know that my opinions on the vibe/atmosphere are going to change (though maybe some of that is dependent on the weather and this place really shines when the sun is out), but I probably didn't get the best that Cafe Bonjour has to offer.

    Backstory to help explain the significance of the fact that I didn't get coffee with my meal…read morehere...I drink buckets a day...I must have coffee, as a necessity. The scrambled eggs were perfectly done, not runny or gooey like other places. The potatoes perfectly seasoned and slightly crunchy out and soft inside. The Banana bourbon French toast...Is the best breakfast food I've ever had and I eat out frequently. I literally scraped my plate clean. I would have done the same with my eggs, potatoes and Turkey sausage but I couldn't eat another bite. I wish we had a North Street Grille here but perhaps it's better that I not have easy access to the quality of food otherwise I'd need a new bigger size wardrobe. If in Boston this is an ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE. If we had room and weren't leaving town the same night we'd have bought the banana bread. They provide complementary for each table and it's one of the bestest most beautifully made banana breads I've had. Service was fast and friendly. It's a cute and quaint little place packed to gills with people which is fine because everyone is friendly and the food is divine!!!!

    I visited North Street Grille in the North End of Boston and overall had a really solid brunch…read moreexperience. We ordered the French toast and the huevos rancheros. The French toast was absolutely outstanding!! Easily one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly cooked, rich, and flavorful, it's a must-order and alone makes this place worth visiting. The huevos rancheros were decent, but not quite at the same level. They felt a bit less authentic than expected, and the hot sauce option was limited to Tabasco. I think a more traditional, homemade Mexican-style salsa would have elevated the dish significantly and made it shine. Because of that, I'm giving North Street Grille 4 stars. The French toast is phenomenal, and with a little more attention to authenticity on certain savory dishes, this spot could easily be a 5-star brunch destination. I'd definitely come back! Especially for the French toast.

Everything was perfect, except... it was incredibly sour, almost pungent. The sauce was just pure canned tomato flavor, and the pickled peppers were also extremely sour, with a hint of spiciness that made the flavor even more intense. I guess I just couldn't get used to it, as a Chinese; but I'll respect this seasoning, as it's very common in the West. After taking it home, I reheated it with sugar, black pepper, butter, and Parmesan cheese, and mixed with pasta--it instantly felt much smoother and more delicious! The restaurant's decor was simple and rustic, with natural-colored wooden tables that looked gentle and warm in the sunlight. I really liked it.
