The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming while still being trendy and modern. Definitely a great brunch spot for a weekend outing with friends or family!

We had gone to Bancroft several years ago and really liked it. It is a splurge kind of place so we…read moredon't go that often. We went on New Year's Eve and boy was it great. I rarely give five stars but this place deserves it. The atmosphere was as it should be, a restaurant, not a New Year's Eve sports bar. It started off with great dinner rolls that you could eat a hundred of. We also had a nice house Canernet Sauvignon. Appetizer was a seafood tower (oysters, shrimp, lobster). A great start. My wife had a filet mignon and fries, I had a rib eye (I never have any other steak) and Brussels sprouts. Everything was absolutely delicious, an absolute riot of flavor. If I could change two things, I wish they had a bone-in ribeye and I would pass on the red wine salt. A little TOO salty. I topped it off with cappuccino. We skipped dessert as they would have had to roll us out of there. Price pre-tip- $245. Worth every penny. This a great steakhouse and loke I said, I almost never give five stars. Great job, folks.

A…read morenumber of other reviewers have commented that "things have changed", and I, unfortunately, agree. Visited on a Saturday evening - the place should be packed, but it wasn't. I easily secured a same day bar seat reservation for 8PM. After checking in, was seated at a half empty downstairs bar. No physical menus, everything was done via a QR which is fine I guess, but for a spot that positions itself as a premiere bar a bit tacky. The online menu on the public website is the only menu and where the QR takes you. I asked for a spirits list (logical for a cocktail forward bar), I got a quizzical look and a shrug of the shoulders in return. Given the menu was only 8 cocktails, picking from those I started with the Beachcomber Mai Tai for a whopping $18. This, if it's the true spec, should be a rum forward cocktail with 2 1/2 oz of rum. They batch their cocktails (not a problem) so I couldn't see their build, but there is absolutely no way this drink is made to specification - my guess is they are skimping on rum as a cost play, batching lets them get away with it. Drink was, frankly, pretty forgettable - not bad, just unremarkable. Wanting to see how they could do off-menu, I asked the bartender to make me a Hemingway Daiquiri. Now, for a cocktail bar that has a long history of rum centric and tiki leaning cocktails, this should be an off the top of their head cocktail. It's simple - white rum, lime and grapefruit juice, and maraschino liqueur. Bartender had never heard of it before, and then spent a few minutes staring in to his phone presumably looking up the recipe. He built it using Rhum JM white rum which is absolutely the wrong rum for this drink - it needs a white Cuban rum (which we know we can't get in the U.S.), so the usual sub would be Bacardi, Planteray 3 stars, Probitas, or others. Definitely not a Martinique agricole. This may be a too detailed nit for some, but with the framing that this is supposed to be a premium cocktail bar, this is an error that should not happen, and not for $18. Figuring the third time might be a charm, ordered the Trader Vic 1944 Mai Tai. This is the classic, the standard against which all others are measured. It's a distinct recipe, especially if you call yours the 1944 Mai Tai. This was not that. It was again light on rum with probably the wrong rums used in their blend. It was also substantially over dosed with orgeat making the almond sweetness an almost overpowering flavor versus playing a subtle supporting actor role. Again, swing and a miss. Drinkable if you like sweet, and don't mind hefty almond. But if you want to try the real Mai Tai - this is not it. Overall, for the price, fairly indifferent bar service, lack of information available to the customer (e.g., spirits list, etc.), and fairly off the mark cocktails I think you can find far better spots right now for that same money. If you definitely want that tiki inspired cocktail vibe - your better bet will be places like Wusong Road in Cambridge or Shore Leave in Boston, and I'm sure there are others. Sorry Baldwin Bar, you've lost your edge and it shows.

I don't visit the area much, but the few times I did, and wanted a quick cocktail, the place was closed, waaaaaay before midnight. Then the desk told me they "always" close at 11pm. Whatever it's a stupid little bar which is probably meant for people attending conferences staying at the hotel looking for 4-5:30 happy hour. But really I can't even imagine that. Not that I was looking for a dance party, was just kinda hoping to use a functional hotel bar, ie; a place that could give me even one cocktail! This is the third time I have found this place not open at all different times. They should just stop advertising it as part of the property or turn it into something else. I probably won't stay there again, not cause I was so excited about their stupid little bar, but because it was advertised as an amenity and it simply is NOT. Oh and the hotel isn't great either. The Element across from it is SO much nicer.

Our friendly server, Eric, came and took our drink order and helpfully walked us through any questions we had about the menu. For appetizers, we ordered the buffalo shrimp and the jerk chicken fondue. The buffalo jumbo shrimp was fantastic, the four pieces were delightfully coated in buffalo sauce and laid on a good amount of blue cheese. The fondue was surprisingly large. It came with jerk chicken, broccoli, grapes, fried cauliflower, and garlic sourdough croutons. Definitely a crowd pleaser with a lot of textural diversity. For entrees, we ordered the braised short rib pappardelle and the filet mignon Cobb salad which I ordered with an add on of avocado (roughly a quarter of a large one). The Cobb salad was lovely with a great medium rare filet on top and had a variety of ingredients. The pappardelle had great braised beef in it and the tomatoes and pasta complimented it well. Definitely recommend trying this place out if you're in the mall area.

During my second visit I ordered a cheeseburger medium-well, the waitress repeated "medium-rare?", which I correct and said, "no medium-well", which she corrected on the order slip. Somehow the kitchen got it wrong and I ended up with a medium-rare burger, which kind of spoiled my evening. The fries, on the other hand were some of the best. The key lime pie was mouthwateringly delicious. My only complaint is one I have with most restaurants; they seem to assume that 'everybody' likes broccoli and asparagus, and they don't offer any alternatives, like green beans or corn. The bar area has TV's, which generally show whatever sporting event is on at the time, and are mostly visible from the tables in the seating area.
