We enjoyed a beautiful breakfast at Grana after our stay at the Langham hotel. The space is unbelievable insanely vaulted ceilings chandeliers it feels like you're walking into a castle or a mansion. I can see why they host weddings there. The Christmas decor they had was the icing on the cake. The service was magnificent as well we had told them we were celebrating a recent engagement and they made us feel so special by giving us milkshakes and cupcakes with our breakfast. A little bit of a funny choice with our bacon and eggs, but we appreciated it nonetheless. We got the classic breakfast spread and the farro grain bowl and both were delicious. The green bowl was a nice shift from a traditional breakfast. It had really crispy fried kale in it a delicious green goddess sauce that I wanted another entire cup of and the potatoes and mushrooms were impeccable. We also got the Cacio E Pepe omelette but I would never get that again. The omelette itself was not good at all. We thought it would have a little bit more innovation, but it was really just some scrambled eggs with what tasted like jarred sauce poured on top of it. I do not recommend this dish. The bread and potatoes and bacon were all crispy and delicious. The waiter came around asking if we wanted hot coffee. My fiancé said yes, and poured him a glass. We later looked at the menu and noticed the coffee was $8. I was absolutely appalled since it was the same coffee they were serving for free in the hotel lobby and of course it's not the waiter's fault but that's obscene. Overall, I would come back here for brunch if I was staying at the Linor if I wanted a nice place to take some friends and wow them, although I will never be ordering their coffee again. read more

I would say this place is more 3.5 than 4 but alas Yelp doesn't allow half ratings and four is too high. Only had breakfast and it left a lot to be desired. First day I got a side of ham for $10 and it came as two small squares. Manager walked by and preemptively got me more. Avocado toast was a B-. Service is great though and the drinks, especially the green juice, are great. One weird thing - during the one hour I was there for breakfast on Saturday, at least three glasses were dropped and shattered. Nothing wrong with mistakes but almost certain there could have been lingering glass on the floor. read more

Grana - Avocado Toast - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Forgive me if I thought I walked up the staircase and settled in a grand tearoom in Rome in the 1920's. A brush across the breakfast menu tells you they are trying to pull Italian classics into breakfast. Not sure how a Roman would feel about Cacio e Pepe scramble or a Caprese omelette. It made me feel like a couple of scrambled eggs and toast. The eggs were dense, seemed undercooked and what seemed like a half loaf of bread was more than enough. Much credit for the atmosphere and service, but it's an odd fusion that missed on execution in the kitchen this day. Alla prossima. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

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)!! read more

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 read more

We went for brunch on Sunday. Made a reservation. It's in the hotel. The aesthetic is really nice. The old bank building. Menu is pretty limited and in my opinion very overpriced for what you get. I had the eggs Benedict. Good flavor. Cooked well. Was luke warm because bernaise sauce was cold. ItvCame with 4 mini potatoes that were dry. ..$36. Mushroom omelette good size. Came with two pieces of asparagus. No potatoes. No toast .$34. We eat out a lot. I have no problem paying a little extra for good quality. But I feel like for brunch at this price you're paying just for the atmosphere. Service was good. In my opinion there's much better options. Wont be rushing back. read more

Service is not what I would expect from a restaurant at this price point. My so and I have both served so we understand that there are other things going on that customers don't see. But when we had to wait quite a while to get our order taken (sometimes that comes from the back of the house as they are swamped), but we had water dropped and that was it for about 15 min... about an hour to get our food. Our server never checked on us and when we wanted ketchup, we had to both keep our eyes peeled for them and they couldn't be more annoyed. When we wanted to order more coffee... rinse repeat... get our check... rinse repeat. On the bright side, our experience in their other restaurant the night before was worse. We stayed there and a lot of issues with checking in, the room, etc. Don't know why langham would fly its flag at this property other than the public spaces, history of the building and location. Nothing about the property says good other than the finishes in the public spaces read more

Grana - Egg Benedict and blueberry pancakes - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

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). read more

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. read more

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. read more

Loved all the food we ate here! It also helped having a great server :) We came for brunch with a large party, and it seemed quiet for a weekend. Their decor is grand and bright, perfect for an early day date. It was quiet and echo-ey in their dining room, but it was still very kid-friendly. Our server even brought over a drawing board for the child in our party. The food came fairly fast and not all at once, allowing us to indulge in a couple of dishes before the next came. Their portions were a healthy size and the ~10 dishes we ordered easily fed our party of 8. Everything was scrumptious and tasty, nothing was without flavor. I am so excited to go back for another meal! read more

Usually I love Grana. Mostly for power breakfasts to discuss business but today we went for Easter brunch. Never again! It was shockingly bad! FYI, I have been to Grana in the past for their Easter brunch. It has always been spectacular until now. Having your girlfriend and her 12 yr old son say "This menu is so bizarre and we don't know what to order" was a clear indicator of a problem. The menu was so limited with no beef, meat or poultry dishes. In the past there were carving stations along with a variety of food. There were no egg dishes other than a mushroom frittata. The only bread was hot cross buns. We complained about the menu. The waiter was not apologetic because he said the menu was on the website for more than a month. Totally not true. I checked OpenTable and the website and there was nothing. Even the manager said the menu wasn't settled on until a week ago and wasn't available until last week. Makes me think that the chef was so ill prepared that they missed out on ordering the food for the brunch. They allowed us to order off their normal menu. Unfortunately that was a mistake. It took them well over an hour, 75 minutes, to get us any food. Then when they got it to us they forgot my meal. My girlfriend's meal had undercooked poached eggs in some form of sauce. It was disgusting because the egg whites were mixed in with the sauces creating this snot like consistency. Service was non-existent. We would go 10-15 minutes without seeing our waiter or the manager. Kind of bizarre since our table was by the entrance to the kitchen. When they did show up they were trying to be helpful. Our drinks didn't come for over 45 minutes. Our drinks didn't come for over 45 minutes. Our drinks didn't come for over 45 minutes! My girlfriend was like "Why are they making us wait so long?" We ended up leaving not eating finishing our food because it was so bad and then going to a much better restaurant. Do not get their overnight oats. It was a Tiramisu overnight oats which sounded like an espresso based overnight oats. Sounds delicious! As a diabetic I love overnight oats. It is one of the best things for me. This was a complete sugar bomb. My blood sugar shot up instantly to 233 with only three bites. I stopped eating thinking this is pure sugar. Wish I wasn't so hungry and had stopped at the first bite. I should have paid nothing but paid for our meals and left. I had them take my girlfriend's meal off the bill. I should have had them take my meal off because it had arrived 30 seconds before I got the check. One final point. I heard that there was a new chef. To him I say "You completely missed the mark with this menu and service." read more

Apparently this place is pretty instagram/TikTok famous but I wasn't aware when we came here for a 10:30 breakfast reservation mid-week during February vacation. We literally had the entire restaurant to ourselves at this point. Hostess was friendly and seated us promptly. Took a little bit for the waitress to come over- which was odd given we were 1 of only 2 tables with guests! Kids menu included old school view finders- which was very cool- I must say, my son and my best friends daughter had never seen such devices but had gotten a kick out of it! I can't get my son to ever look at a menu so this was probably the first time he was excited to pick out his meal! He ordered the silver dollar pancakes and a fresh squeezed orange cake juice. For an empty restaurant the wait for the food was pretty long, and for whatever strange reason- my sons orange juice did not come out until halfway through his breakfast... I get that it's fresh squeezed but that was really strange and a tad annoying as we were both thirsty and I was planning on splitting it with him. My go to breakfast choose is ALWAYS French toast if I'm not doing eggs/bacon. The French toast they had on their menu looked ABSOLUTELY amazing however the flavor it featured was banana which I HATE- so I knew I couldn't order it no matter what way I twisted and turned. But I really wanted to so badly try it! Unfortunately I had to pass because that was the only flavor they had! I ended up ordering a Belgian waffle which was HUGE- I think I ended up eating half of it! It was good, but nothing "special" about it- for the price it could have been much better! My favorite part about my meal was the secret milkshake! It's not on the menu- but it is DELICIOUS and insta-gram worthy for sure! If you come here- you HAVE TO TRY IT! They have all different ones based on the time of year/what "holiday" is close by. We went at the end of February and we had the cutest Valentine's Day themed milkshakes! I would definitely come back but for the prices we paid- the service could have been better- and our fresh squeezed orange juice should've came out before OR with our meal- NOT halfway through our meal- with no apology! By the way it was $16 for that fresh squeezed orange juice so you can understand why I would be so frustrated when it came out after we had eaten most of our meal! read more

I have been here 18 minutes thus far and still have not been waited on to order. It is empty. About 35% capacity.

All the hype on social media really got me excited about visiting here, but it was so disappointing and the service was horrendous. We sat for a good 25 minutes before a server even came to our table, we placed an order for drinks, and then after another 15 minutes the same waiter came by to take our drink order again (we can only assume he didn't put the order in the first time around). We were then informed the lemon sorbet wasn't in yet, and we'd have to wait longer if we still wanted the Scroppino cocktail. The food was only okay and waaaay overpriced for the small portions. Braised short rib benedict - $32 for cold meat and eggs with literally 3 potatoes. Really not worth it Zeppole - really small and not fresh, but still probably the best thing we had Zucchini bread french toast - either it didn't come w the icing in the description, or it had melted by the time it was served. Pretty solid, but pretty soggy The entire meal took far over our 90min time limit purely because of the waiting, yet our waters were never filled once! Don't bother visiting this spot unless you want a photo and no food. I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt since it had opened so recently, but it just wasn't worth it. read more

Very nice staff. Good food. Waited a bit too long for our food to arrive. But otherwise nice experience.

The decor is gorgeous; so bright and luxe. The food was ok but not what it should be for the price. I expect to be wowed by $20 avocado toast. There was a generous amount of crab on it but the flavor was pretty bland. Bloody Mary was also mediocre. Service was attentive but nothing special in terms of providing recommendations. Next time I might just order wine because the wine pour was very generous. The only reason I'd come back would be to show someone else how beautiful the space is. read more

Flavors - 3.5/5 Textures - 3.5/5 Presentation - 4/5 Value for Money - 2/5 Would return? No Must-try: Carbonara Benedicts I would recommend going here for the experience, but not for the food (at least for brunch). I had the "Al Tavolo" menu which is a 3 course brunch for $72 per person. Initially I thought this was a fair price, but when I saw the small portions changed my mind. The food is decent, but overpriced. The lobster cannoli was tasty, but the cannoli overpowered and I couldn't taste the lobster. The Crab Avocado Toast was delicious. Well seasoned and balanced, but the bread was barely toasted. The Bolognese Arancini definitely tasted like bolognese, although too sutil. The outside was very crunchy, but the breading was too thick and the inside lacked creaminess. Carbonara Benedict was my favorite! The textures were perfect all arounds - the eggs, the sauce, the crispy pancetta. I loved the ciabatta english muffin because it hold well together as you ate it and it was nicely buttered and toasted. A bit more sauce would've gone a long way. The Egg White Frittata was very delicate but delicious, and you could taste all the ingredients well. Should be more especial for $26 though and the presentation was a bit sad. The Eggs in Purgatory were also delicious and tasted like an Italian Shakshuka. I just kept wishing there was something unique or espectacular about them. The dessert stole the show with the box of beautiful pastries. The chocolate one was my favorite. This rating only considers the food, but I should mention that the ambiance is incredibly fancy and luxurious, as well as the service. read more

Grana - Lobster pasta and truffle butter pasta - Italian Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The saddest part about Grana is it could easily get a five star review if they wanted to. The staff were exceedingly nice; but were clearly overwhelmed and the kitchen backed up. We were staying at the Langham and breakfast at Grana was included. I'm grateful, because Grana is exceedingly expensive ($27 for an omelette!) and I wouldn't have paid the retail prices willingly otherwise. But the first issue isn't the food, it's just getting seated. There is a long set of stairs leading up to the host stand. The issue is there's no room by the host stand, so if there's a line, you're waiting on the stairs. The hostess when we visited physically went to the floor of the restaurant to look and see which tables were available; doing this took 1-2 minutes, and doing it every time a party was to be seated meant when there were 5+ parties in line to be seated meant you were waiting 10+ minutes just to be seated. But we finally got seated, all good. Except that it took ten minutes for our waitress to just come by - but when she did, she was exceedingly apologetic. We ordered our coffees and food in one go and she disappears. Another full ten minutes pass, and our water glasses haven't even been filled. I have to go and flag our waitress down, and she apologizes because they're "out of tap water" (...how?) but she will bring by a complementary bottle of still spring water. Minute 40 (10 waiting + 30 at the table) rolls around, and we finally have water. Our coffee is also brought, but because we had ordered the coffee 20 minutes ago, the hot coffee is cold. We had to send it back. Minute 45, our hot coffees arrive actually hot. And then there was a large wait for our food. It was another full 15 minutes until our breakfast - keep in mind, we ordered banana bread and eggs, not something that is terribly complicated - to arrive. The banana French toast was amazing, as is the sticky bun. But the eggs Benedict was so disappointing, because it was flavored so well, but it was severely over cooked. At this point it's been an hour and I don't feel like sending my food back, so I eat it, but disappointed the entire time that the $30 eggs Benedict came out with the eggs over cooked. I would not go here again. read more

Everything was so delicious - I'd highly recommend this, especially if you're willing to splurge for a special occasion. I had the passion fruit spritz to drink which was so pretty, sweet, and delicious. For the second course, I ordered the zucchini bread French toast which was sooo good. The tartness of the sour cherry syrup balanced well with the richness of the mascarpone. The ambience is the main draw here - the place is gorgeous and historical. There are interesting paintings on the wall that our waitress even took the time to explain. I was pretty impressed by the service. We left absolutely stuffed, I didn't have room for dessert.

RACIST HOTEL MANAGERS -- Do not go here. I wish I could give this establishment 0 stars. I do not recommend you dine or stay here as their customer service is absolutely disgraceful. Their restaurant manager, Alex is extremely unprofessional and rude. He led my party of 6 and I to an empty table that had no place settings. He says"I will be right back, I have to wipe the table down" then he disappeared and never came back. We literally just stood there waiting in the middle of the restaurant. Then the host comes over and very rudely asks us if we have a reservation. I then told him, Alex said he would be back. But Alex never came back, just left us there and the host continuously asked us if we had a reservation. He caused a scene and made us look foolish in this restaurant. When I called to speak with the hotel manager he is even more rude. So now it makes sense why the staff act the way they do. The hotel manager himself refused to provide his name when asked. Strange because it is easily available on Google. We are all hard working Boston professionals, one of which is a very successful business owner. We were dressed professionally so the only thing that I think would cause such terrible service is racism. I am never the one to bring up the race card, but let's be real here. We did nothing wrong to be treated this way. One of our guests did not receive her meal until everyone had already finished dining. When I mentioned this to the hotel manager he says and I quote, "This isn't the restaurant for you". This is how he responds when you tell him about your horrible experience. She literally sat there and watched us all eat. And this is how he responds.... If you are looking for a place to stay in Boston that is respectful and has class, go to the Fairmont Copley or The Four Seasons. I will be letting everyone I know in Boston to avoid this place at all costs. For these prices and this type of low class service? They won't last long. read more
