Went there for brunch with my friend after seeing it on Instagram. We ordered the egg Benedict, avocado toast, fruit bowl and a hot chocolate flight. The brunch items were pretty average, and I've had better ones. Since avocado toast is an appetizer/side order, the portion wasn't very big, so maybe order something else together. The fruits were good, but this is the first time I had it like this. The fruits, granola and yogurt were usually layered nicely in one bowl in other places I went to, but for this one the bowl is too small to put everything in, I guess the purpose was to eat it by dipping? The best part was the chocolate flight, it was in a separate dessert menu which we had to ask for. All of the flavours were really good, would def recommend the flight! read more

The greeting (or lack thereof) that I got by the hostess today at The Met Back Bay was very off-putting. The other greeter, who was very nice, told her I was a party of one, and the hostess furrowed her brow and finally told the other one where to seat me. She seemed deadly serious and not at all welcoming or friendly. I felt like I was a problem and they must be super busy and reluctant to seat just one person. It turned out they were not super busy. There were several open tables. Maybe this hostess is just really self-important? My waiter was fine. He did not seem especially happy, but he was nice, and efficient. The food was not really what I expected. I ordered a croque madame, and when I got it it was so thick that I thought there were three pieces of bread in it! I was expecting something more like I have gotten in France. The sandwich was accompanied by some lukewarm fries which might have been quite good when they were fresh. The restaurant decoration is nice, but I did not actually have fun eating there. I felt like the employees were not happy. I was relieved to leave. read more

My friends are I were very excited to try MET for brunch, we made reservations for a Sunday. We arrived on time, but the host was very cold to us and we had to wait for an extra 10 minutes. It seemed to be a very unorganized and unwelcoming hosting stand. Ordering was fine. Waitress was nice but not very attending. I ordered the Eggs Benedict. It came out quickly but I was disappointed by the appearance of the food and the portion size. The biscuit on the bottom was stale and dry. It came with potatoes that looked like they were thrown on the plate and also dry and bland. The appearance was not appetizing. I was very disappointed. My two other friends plates came out fine, much more of a bigger portion. It's an ok place. Clean and nicely decorated. read more

Came here on a random weekday afternoon with a friend and got seated on the second floor. Loved it! So spacious and the couches were really nice. Since it was just for a midday snack, we ordered the appetizers only. We ordered the tuna/salmon tartare appetizer. I have to say, it came pretty warm as if it had been sitting there for quite some time. The fish tasted pretty old in my opinion. The quality of the fish was pretty meh. However, the sauces for the tartare were pretty good and I loved the taro chips that came with it. But just disappointed in the quality of it. We ordered the flatbread (came with asparagus, eggs, cheese, and mushroom) which arrived with such a nice presentation. We probably enjoyed this dish the most. I felt like it needed a kick though. I would have liked if it was dressed with something bolder. We also ordered the calamari. Favorite part of the meal! Crispy, chunky, fat pieces of squid. Yum! It came hot. Definitely the best part of our snacking. Definitely want to try their regular dishes in the future. read more

Came here for a quick brunch before my drive down back home to New York. I'll admit, it wasn't my first choice but it had the shortest wait. Firstly, they have no turkey bacon nor turkey sausage. To say I was appalled is an understatement. I requested perhaps some smoked salmon, but they said they'd charge me a whole $9.00 extra on top of the already up charged breakfast. So I went without. The food that I did have was delicious and the staff was amazing. Their only fault was lack of substitutes. read more

Came here for brunch with a couple of friends while we were out shopping. This place is kind of interesting where if you want to sit outside you have to make sure you have a reservation that is specifically for outside patio. We didn't know that so we ended up sitting inside even though it was really nice out. Our waiter at first was a little interesting and cold not very friendly. It wasn't until after we ordered a bottle of champagne and appetizers that he started to come around when we ordered our entrees and made a joke. The food was pretty good I would suggest starting with the avocado toast. I had the green guru for my main and probably would have added protein if I get it next time. There was something about the salad though that was a little too course and crunchy that made it a little difficult to eat. So although I only ate half I would probably give it another shot. read more

4/5- The Met Bar Back Bay, Rigatoni Bolognese. Confession: I've never gotten another dish at Met Bar other than the bolognese! Truly this is my favorite bolognese I've ever had. EVER! And I've eaten my way through Italy! The Met Bar's Rigatoni Bolognese is light on the tomatoes and much more cheese focused, which is right up my alley. The only thing I wish they didn't add was the onions. Just a personal preference! Will be back many a times to treat myself to this decadent pasta dish. read more

This is a cheesy sports bar with over the top bloody marys. This is not the place for me. This was the place me and my friend ended up for a drink though. The service was quick and friendly. I just didn't like the space or the actual drink. But if you want an INSANE bloody mary I think this is the place for you. read more

A decent brunch spot. The nutella-stuffed french toast was okay - I knew I'd probably regret it, but my curiousity won out. It was like a combination of a cider donut and funnel cake, with some nutella (not nearly enough to qualify as "stuffed") in the middle. Two pitifully small pieces of banana on top. Not quite what I envisioned from the description. Delicious enough, but a few bites was all I could manage - it's fried and coated in sugar. The "build your bloody mary" option was fun, though they forgot a couple of ingredients for mine. I guess that's what happens when five other people at your table also order bloody marys. You can go crazy and order everything but the kitchen sink, including sliders, shrimp, cheese block, etc. as my friend Danny did.... read more

I love this place. The interior is bright and the staff are friendly. Their portion sizes are massive so just be aware. I've gone here several times and I kid you not, they have the BEST nachos I have ever had. It isn't listed on their menu anymore but they still have it and seriously it is amazing. Their appetizers and fries are also nice but the nachos.. I dream about them sometimes. They also have a bar downstairs for if you didn't make reservations and have to wait a bit. read more

My friends and I visited the Met sunday morning for brunch (because Stephanie's had an hour long wait). When we got there, there was an hour wait for a dining table but we went downstairs to the bar area and there were a ton of empty tables and seats and room at the bar! I recommend coming to the downstairs area if you want quick service. It was an expensive brunch.. I heard about their bloody mary's from a friend so I had to order one. They give you a clipboard with a check list of condiments to put into your bloody mary. I went a little over the top and ordered one with lobster, shrimp, an oyster, bacon and made it extra spicy. It was an expensive bloody mary that is for sure. My friend got a bloody mary with a SLIDER on it! The slider was actually so good.. the bloody mary could have been my full meal. The California hen house hash was a good choice for breakfast, but it was a big meal I could barely finish 1/3 of it. It had avocado, eggs, peppers and cheese. It didn't look that appetizing but it sure was! All my friends went with the breakfast burrito which came out great. I will be back. read more

I went to the Met Back Bay for brunch with my friend. The hostess was super nice and let us sit early. Usually the food and service is great but today it was kind of slow.

Following a rather unenjoyable brunch at Met Nantucket, I felt hesitant to dive in for an early dinner at The Back Bay location But, she wanted French onion soup (of all things) and they fulfilled the need. Who am I to argue with a pregnant woman?! Only the downstairs bar are is open prior to 5p, so we snagged a pair of stool at the charcuterie side bar. There's something both enthralling and terrify about watching salamis thinly sliced within arms' reach. Not that you should; a whirling blade is not the most explorable device. To the food, her $9 cuppa soup definitely covered the onion quota, with a savory, salted beef broth disappearing quickly, and 2/3 of a crock still swimming with stewed onions. I went all-natural turkey burger ($18) LA style, cooked a bit dry and thankfully slathered with smashed avocado, bacon, alleged sprouts (there were none), lettuce, tomato and a mild garlic aioli. A wee mound of crispy fries on the side, and we were golden, although with all those textures, fats and flavors, the final product was one-note. Should have waited for Monday night, when the more slight version of three different burger offerings run a paltry $5 each. Pair it with a $6 beer from a decent bottle run, and you've got yourself a little platter of affordable luxe. I just wish the burger sent me swooning, instead of riding the A-OK train! Til next time, I reckon. read more

I have never before experienced so many employees standing around doing nothing in a restaurant! I had a coffee cup and water that was empty for my entire meal. Even after I asked for both to be refilled!!! I am not even going to comment on the food because it couldn't be enjoyed until it was cold because I didn't have silverware!

An excellent place for an old school drink or some really good food. First of all, you have a choice when you walk in here...you can go downstairs to the relaxed bar area, or you can go upstairs for the prohibition type bar. Both areas have the same prices, but I prefer upstairs at the bar with a great bartender. I was fortunate enough to have Jay as the bartender that night, and he knows how to make some serious drinks! He also has an extensive wine knowledge, so if you are in the mood for a great drink...GO UPSTAIRS. The food was delicious here too. Fresh cheeses, and one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had. I am not kidding. As them what their recommended pasta dish is and you will be in heaven. read more

As part of my ongoing saga to try every burger of note in the Boston area (see ranking and link to photos below), we recently made it to The Met Back Bay, which features a number of fancy burgers on it's various menus, particularly for brunch. Since this was a weeknight dinner, we had only one choice, although it sounded intriguing, if a bit over the top: SALTIE GIRL PRIME BURGER: Wagyu beef, fried lobster, avocado, Angry special sauce, BLT, and fries ($24) [BTW, "Saltie Girl" apparently refers to a Barcelona-inspired seafood spot that will be right next door to The Met, from the same owners, soon to open.] Don't you love how everyone has to have some sort of "special" sauce for their "special" burgers these days (sing along with me: "Two all beef patties, "special" sauce, lettuce, cheese...")? "Special" or not (I can't really remember), this was was a complete disaster of a burger. Please repeat after me: THE 1ST COMMANDMENT OF BURGERS: "Thou shall not pile on more than 4 ingredients on top of your burger, lest it explode all over your shirt." Not only did this just have too many disorganized ingredients stacked on top (including slippery slices of avocado that never had a chance of staying put long enough for me to take a bite), but I couldn't even taste the lobster. I could see it (particularly when it would shoot out onto my plate, after I had stuck it back in), but just not taste it. How about leaving it out next time? For $5 less it still wouldn't be a very good burger, but at least I would feel less used. While the Wagyu had a good chargrilled flavor, it was pretty dry (but at least cooked to med rare spec), although at first bite I actually thought it was a pretty juicy burger (the fat drippings from the bacon tricked me). Oh, and the fries were also over cooked and not very good. $24 is pretty extreme for a burger, even this era of high-end burgers (by way of comparison, the brilliant Craigie is $19). But frankly, I wouldn't pay more than a fiver for this one. Not recommended. Bostons Best Burgers: 1) Craigie on Main's Bar Burger 2) Alden & Harlow's Secret Burger 3) RF O'Sullivan's Black & Blue Burger 4) JM Curley's 5 oz. natural beef patty burger 5) Strip-T's burger 6) Bar Boulud's Classic Burger 7) Post 390's Tavern Burger 8) Washington Square Tavern's Burger 9) The Met Back Bay's Saltie Girl Prime Burger (not recommended) http://tinyurl.com/BostonsBestBurgers We also had a few apps including charcuterie, which were OK nothing special, and some pretty good wine (2012 Robert Foley Griffon). read more

I've come here several times for drinks and apps, but never a full dinner. BRUNCH For weekend brunch, they have BYOBM: Build Your Own Bloody Mary's. This is great for those adventurous friends who you want to top as many things on your Bloody Mary with. YOU CAN ADD A WHOLE SLIDER AS A GARNISH ON YOUR DRINK. I have never seen this done anywhere else, so if you come here try this at least. Everyone will be staring at you in awe. People will ask you if that's a real burger on your drink. You'll nod and they'll watch as you drink/eat your Bloody Mary. The Bloody Mary itself is very pulpy and spicy of the peppery kind. I'm not sure I liked it. The cocktail onions added a nice touch, but the Bloody Mary itself was too savory for my liking. I did like the slider, though. APPS Salmon/tuna tartare is okay. The taro chips are really interesting with a flaky, light, crunchy texture and a little oily. I could eat those chips all by itself, honestly. Orange miso duck wings are almost a little sour? Very interesting with the flavor of kimchi. DRINKS Grapefruit fizz (+) ACK the Nantucket (+) Blackberry bramble (sour) Tip: If you are trying to sit on the patio, you need to order food with you drinks. Boston law.

Came for a friend's birthday brunch and it was good. We had a reservation so we were seated after a couple of minutes. They had a menu to create your own Bloody Mary which seemed fun, but I'm, unfortunately, not a fan. I got the Boston burger, which was good. I'm a sucker for french fries, but I wasn't a big fan of the fries. Two of my friends got mimosas and a friend and I got cappuccinos. The vibes seemed great there and it was busy. It's a great location and central to everything. read more

Had been craving pancakes all day, and MET Back Bay was one of the few places that had pancakes and did not have a massive line out the door. When we were seated I ordered the ONLY pancake option on the menu: 2 Buttermilk Pancakes. Aesthetically, they looked great, but they had about as much flavor as a piece of cardboard. They were accompanied only by butter and syrup, because it costs an additional $2 (a whopping $16 for TWO pancakes) to add strawberries, blueberries and whip cream. Maybe the redeeming qualities are their famous bloody Mary's, the savory food items, or the great staff like our kind waiter, Colin, but I would NOT recommend the pancakes. read more

Perfect for comfort food if you're interested in a burger, grilled cheese, or mac and cheese. The patio and private dining rooms are the best part of the space to sit and chat.

Word to the wise for out of towners here. They may or may not give you a drink if you have an address label sticker on your ID. Yes, I have like 5 of them on the same driver's license. They looked at me and said they couldn't take it or serve me....WTF!? I told them it's just an address change label....they had to take it to management...really!? I did get my drink. Took around 30 minutes to finally get seated outside and it was just myself eating. Service is extremely slow, I felt like I was back in Europe. Ordered the half roasted chicken with fries and a side salad. Salad was large...as it should be for flippin $8. Lacked flavor and it was really only lettuce and tomato and beets. MEH. The chicken and fries were just fine. The pepper sauce that came with it had an odd flavor. Didn't pair with the chicken very well. The 'house' sangria was so-so. Not bad, not great. Certainly not really worth the money in my opionion. Not sure I would come back if I was in the area. Total cost was around $40 for myself for a so-so meal. read more

Atmosphere / Ambiance - Overall Have been here several times for lunch now since my office is right near by. It does make for a great business lunch environment due to their round tables. Seriously, I hate nothing more than shouting diagonally across a rectangular table when out with colleagues. When I am with friends, I can care less (just throw a fork or something to grab the attention of your friend). Get in there around noon though because it sure picks up after that. Food As for their food I have had very good experiences with their burgers. You basically pick a burger type and then a topping combo. I have had both their regular, kobe, and their salmon burgers. When I am feeling ballsy I go for their Paris Burger. The Paris burger is just something you need to get with the Kobe. The Paris consists of melted brie, fried egg, caramelized onions, and truffle mayo. Each bite made me want to scream out "Oui Oui! Je t'aime!" to the burger. You also gotta go the sweet potato fries route here. Other things I have gotten here was the warm burrata starter which was very good and easy to share. I have also tried the salmon burger - Tokyo style. It sounded much better than it actually tasted. The grilled chicken kabob was more of a deconstructed kabob wrap all separated on a plate and was really not what I was expecting. Service One thing that bothers me about this place is that it appeals to business lunches yet service can be kind of slow despite it seeming perfect for a lunch place. If they were a tad quicker and more diligent about bringing the check and swiping cards towards the end of the meal it would be a place I would return to way more often. read more

Garrett (sp) has been a wonderful waiter/server! Ask for him and you'll get the best service! I had the most wonderful time here! My husband had a late night at the office so I took myself out to dinner. The clam chowder here was amazing and the service was fantastic. The atmosphere was so nice. I ate upstairs and looked over Newbury street while drinking amazing wine and reading my book. I will definitely be back for a nice night our with friends. I can't wait to try the lounge area. read more

Not a lot of Upscale places I've eaten at for Breakfast other than Panera Bread, but this one takes the Cake. we were sat by the window. They said it was time for Brunch and we just had Water and Coffee while deciding on what we wanted to order. All dad got was Scrambled Eggs with Bacon, Sausage and Homefries, While I got a Salad for Breakfast (I know it sounds odd to get salad for breakfast but I decided to eat something healthy after indulging at Oleana and Hamersley's Bistro last night. The salad I got was Wild Arugula with Pecorino Cheese, Shaved Button Mushrooms, Trufflebert Hazelnuts (Trufflebert is a farm in Portland, Oregon) and a Lemon Vinaigrette, this Salad was Hit and Miss (I love Arugula, one of my favorite leafy greens, Subtle Peppery flavor. Sharp, Salty, Nuttiness from the Pecorino, for some reason I wasn't crazy for the Mushrooms I just don't like them Raw I would've loved for them to be Sauteed or Roasted to bring out more Flavor, The Hazelnuts gave it a nice Crunch and the Vinaigrette gave it some Acidity, although I'd rather them bring me a little cup so I could pour the Vinaigrette instead of them pouring it on being it gets sent out. I give it a 6 out of 10. The Service was Terrific and if I didn't get that Salad here's what I would've got: House Cured Salmon Flatbread, Captain Crunch French Toast, Breakfast Carbonara, Tips & Eggs or The Cure Sandwich. I'll be sure to get one of those next time I dine there for Breakfast. Now after Breakfast we were getting ready to go see all of Boston from the View of the 50th Floor at the Prudential Center Tower. read more

I was visiting Boston with a friend of mine a couple weeks ago. We stopped in here on our last day after reading such wonderful reviews. We decided to split the three cheese omelet and Nutella French toast. The three cheese omelet came with home fries. It was okay but nothing super great. It want bad just not great. The Nutella French toast was pretty good, but also not the greatest thing. They had a really awesome build your Bloody Mary menu which I think is what makes this place so popular. I don't drink bloody Mary's and we were leaving to drive home the same day so I didn't want to drink for brunch. I would definitely recommend this place for brunch it is perfect. The drink selection is wonderful and the food was good. read more

Food here is 3 stars but the Blood Mary Bar is easily 5 stars! I definitely would recommend this restaurant if it is your first time in Boston or if you never have been here before. I like the avocado toast and the salmon flat bread. I usually don't order healthy for brunch but I get those two items with a Blood Mary (with the hamburger) which is a meal in itself, and naturally the best way to start your day. PS.

Yikes. Where do I begin? This review is about the Library Bar, and we only had drinks, so I can't comment on the food. After the service we received, I don't think I'll ever be able to, since I wouldn't ever go back. My story starts on a Saturday afternoon around 3 pm - seven weary women (and ok, I understand this is enough to scare even the most stoic and resilient of servers) stop in for a drink and a bit of AC before the long walk to the Charles Playhouse. The table is set for five, not seven, and despite two attempts to order two pitchers of water and cocktails, the server rushes away before sentences are even finished. One woman gets up and goes directly to the bar to get another pitcher of water.The bartender is confused - why do you want the whole pitcher? While taking drink orders (and only three of seven were mixed drinks - the others were two canned ciders, sparkling water, and a diet coke), the server visibly stops listening and zones out while one woman is ordering her staple: dirty martini, Ketel 1, very dry, lots of olives. The woman has to repeat herself twice. Twenty-five minutes later, when the drinks are finally being made by the slowest bartender in the world, the server brings the ciders. She doesn't pour them, but opens them so the two women that ordered cider can pour it themselves. She also doesn't pour the sparkling water. Just then, the weary women hear a party foul sound: Someone has dropped a tray of drinks. Of course, as they are the only party in the place, the drinks belonged to the women. When they are finally served, the martini is not dirty nor does it have many olives. That woman gets up and goes to the bar to have the drink corrected, as the server is not paying any attention to the table any longer. The only reason this place gets two stars is because the woman with the martini sees the server and manager talking. When she drops the check, the server tells the party that she's taken the mixed drinks off of the bill. Isn't that nice? Okay, thank you. Nice gesture, but that doesn't excuse the poor service. read more

I would like to give this restsurant a better rating as the food is 4.5 to 5 stars. The atmosphere is 5 stars. The services is at best 3 stars. The drinks are very bad most 2 stars. No shots, no bottles nothing you would expect from a bar. Bur I would come back again for the food. read more

I am not all that excited about the breakfast/brunch experience I had during Marathon Monday at Met Back Bay. We ended up here because it was the first restaurant we happened upon that was open at 10:00am. I was excited to see eggs benedict (my favorite brunch meal) on the menu. My friend ordered the truffle croque. She also noticed that there was dirt/pepper in her water glass immediately after it was delivered to her. The server was quick to replace it. My eggs benedict was meh. I have had so much better for much less the price. We watched the $10 mimosas come to another table and were very happy not to have ordered them. They were very small. The service was also just okay. When we were paying it took a good 15 minutes to get the server's attention and another 15 minutes for him to come back to get the check. Overall, I was not impressed with this place. If I am going to spend the kind of money they charge, I would prefer to go to a place with stellar service and better food. I have had much better experiences at Papa Razzi and Stephanie's on Newbury. read more

I really enjoy sitting at their downstairs bar for some cocktails and food. I am in love with Met's chopped salad which has cut up broccoli, beets, corn, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, and huge chunks of bacon! The dressing is nice and light, and the portion is huge! Even the half size portion is large enough that you will have leftovers. I usually top off my salad with salmon, that is fresh but be prepared the salmon portion size is on the small side. I also love their truffle fries! The drinks are good and they usually have a few good beers on tap. Overall my go to when I am craving an awesome salad! read more

Have been here a few times when we visit Boston and are strolling on Newbury Street. Every time has been on Saturday around 11: 30 am and every time we have not been able to sit upstairs - either there is an hour wait, and one we were told we needed reservations. So downstairs we go - to the bar which had plenty of seating. That being said, we have always been pleased with the meal and service. Went again yesterday for brunch. I had the egg and biscuit Benedict which was great. Husband had a cheeseburger. Fries and home fries were crisp and tasty. Great meal before spending the day shopping and sightseeing. Maybe next time we'll get to see the upstairs! read more

If you like loud, boorish men in suits, the clientele here at 7pm will delight you. Seriously, they'll jostle you and ogle you and generally do everything they can to make you feel like a piece of meat, free of charge. Moving on, the food isn't bad. It's comfort food in large portions. I had the chicken pot pie and toasted coconut martini, and both delivered that "ahhh" sense of satisfaction. The corn with cheese was pretty good if a bit rich but the truffle fries were a huge disappointment. If I wanted blandly seasoned, slightly burnt fries with truffle mayo, that's what I'd order. But I expect truffle fries to be infused with truffle essence IN THE FRY, not on the side. The space is pretty cozy as long as you're not being tormented by aforementioned guys in suits but can be a bit cramped depending on where you sit. Our server was okay but tended to hover over us a little too much. For overall atmosphere, I'd say the Chestnut Hill location is better. read more

We love visiting Boston, we have our go-to places but love trying new spots; with that in mind we stopped in for drinks, and we hoped some bar menu items. Sorry to say it never happened. We ended up at the bar with a bartender who never stopped to say hello, check in or even mention he was "slammed". In fact, we moved from one location to the more comfortable spot at the bar and we got" you can't do that" - what? He left dishes from the previous patrons in front of us - we actually had to move them ourselves We stayed for one round paid and left. They just were not friendly nor seem to care. read more
