Can you tell we loved the ribs
Natasha H.

My mom and I came here last night while staying at the Aloft in Seaport. The food was really good, we got the chicken quesadillas and the ribs. My mom ordered a Malibu Bay Breeze and I ordered a Gin and Tonic, both were good. The bartender was super kind, she was also very quick. There is also a guy working there who was super kind. The bar has comfy seating, games and even an outdoor area. We really enjoyed this place, honestly it was our favorite spot we ate at during our stay in Boston.

Menu, this is the only food they have. The rest of the menu is all drinks.

Bar attached to the Aloft hotel, it is just down in the lobby. The bar tender was quite nice and service was fast in terms of getting my order and my food. Didn't rush you at all, but then again they also were not very busy. The menu is not big, basically just some bar snacks. The food was alright, I got the sweet chili wings and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was solid but the wings could have used more sauce and it was not spicy at all.

Plenty of bar seating.  Hip modern.

Good drink selection and some decent food. Convenient if you are staying at the Aloft or the element next door. I had a caesar salad with chicken. Chicken was cold, which I know some people like, not me. The salad overall was just fine though. I wanted to try "The Bad Larry", but actually resisted the late night urge since I'm getting kinda portly. That and the "Seaport Smash" looks good too. If anyone is reading this, I'd love to see a pic and thoughts on the cocktails. Food items of interest: Sriracha Chicken Wings Turkey Pretzel Roll Arugula on D

The Potsticker appetizers were incredible and the quantity was perfect for what we wanted. Had to amend review....

Chris who provided local information and suggested the Fisherman's Feast to get to know some history behind the celebration as well as making us 2 of his recommended "Old Fashions" and also Lorin who made my wife her special "Strawberry Milkshake" shot....

The cider was definitely the best part of my meal. The burger had very little taste and the fries were either really soggy or tiny and crispy. Not sure if I did something to annoy the kitchen, but it felt like I got the bottom of the barrel. :) The ambiance was buzzy and energetic lots of patrons sharing stories about prior concerts by the artist performing that night. Our server was kind but seemed a little overwhelmed- I had to ask for water refills and he came to ask how everything was before we'd taken a bite. The convenience was great, but the food was not great enough that I'd definitely return here before another concert.

I asked an LLM for a bar, open on a Monday, that would satisfy someone who laments the…read moredisappearance of Fort Point's bar Drink. It responded right away that it would optimize for a place that appeals to cocktail nerds and is open on Mondays. I directed me to Wig Shop, and said that Wig Shop even has a cocktail named in honor of John Gertsen, Boston's much-missed (he's in SF, last I knew) founding bartender at Drink and Number Nine Park. Wig Shop did not disappoint: fabulous cocktails, an easygoing vibe (my two buddies and I were able to chat without yelling from 8pm until 11:30), comfortable banquettes (with, incidentally, backs that are high enough to be supportive but low enough that you can spread out your arms on them), and wonderful service. The service, in particular, lives up to the "cocktail nerd" aspect that the LLM highlighted: our server knew the drinks backwards and forwards, and knew exactly what I was talking about when I mentioned the drink in Gertsen's honor. I'd recommend this place to cocktail nerds, and to anyone who wants to have a drink and chat with friends. We'll be back soon.

The Wig Shop was on the list... what a coincidence we were just going to be there. So, obviously, we made it a point to check it out. It was very last minute, so we had no reservations, but we checked opening hours and were there almost on the dot. Thankfully we were able to get in. The way they are setup is that if you are a party of 2, they sit you with another "couple" to maximize space. This is fun, it makes you have conversations with strangers that for the time you are there become "friends". Hopefully you have the same good experience we did and not have anti-social people in front of you. The drinks are fun and strong, and they have a full bar for those who want something more classic or have a drink of choice. They also have food, which looked really good.

Service was great and everything we got were delicious: - Kestra Breakfast Plate: 5/10 I was a bit disappointed that I could only pick one protein, got the sausages and it was laughable how small the portion was. There seemed to be more potatoes than anything else. Regardless, I think everything was cooked well and tasted great. - Turkish Breakfast: 7/10, was surprisingly good! I've never eaten a block of Feta before but it was very fresh and not overpowering. They had fancy HEIRLOOM tomatoes so that was a nice and refreshing surprise. - Short Rib Hash: 8.2/10, a great value! The only thing is that the short rib was dry... but overall still tasty and filling. - fruit bowl: 9/10, the fruit bowl is ENORMOUS! Super large portion of pineapple, honey dew, orange cantaloupe, grapes, Raspberry, strawberry, blueberry. - Lemon Ricotta pancakes: 7.2/10, great texture of pancakes had a nice bounce to it and slightly mochi like. I had to have a side of maple syrup because they didn't give enough lemon compote. - Croissant: 1000/10, I ordered Ala carte and this was top 2 best PLAIN croissant I had. It was large and perfectly light and fluffy and buttery all at the same time. I also LOVE butter and jam so this was perfect.

That's when we put the voucher to use as the Capiz is in the lobby of the hotel. We went for an early dinner. Walking into the restaurant, no one was there to greet us and there was no host stand. Finally, a server (who also turned out to be our server) told us to pick where we wanted to sit. We chose a four-top table. When it was time to order, we were dealing with a limited menu. I chose lobster quesadillas, which were listed under "appetizers". My husband chose the fish and chips. The quesadilla was sloppily made. Some pieces had hardly any cheese or lobster in them. Other pieces were overloaded with lobster and cheese. While it was all edible and the lobster was properly cooked, it still was underwhelming. My husband said the fish was well prepared, flaky and crispy at the same time. There were too many French fries, making the plate a bit messy. In a pinch, Capiz did fit the bill as we didn't feel like going far for a meal that day.

We ordered several dishes to share: beef tartare, octopus, crudo, steak, meatloaf, Brussels sprouts, and lobster mac & cheese. Out of everything, the octopus was the only dish that really stood out, and the drinks were still solid. Steak was at high price point but below average for quality. Mac and cheese somehow the sauce was all on the bottom and not covering the Mac.. Also, Parmesan seemed to be on about 95% of the dishes. I like Parmesan, but after this meal, I never want to see another sprinkle of it again. LOL. The service was honestly the biggest disappointment. For an upscale restaurant charging upscale prices, I expected much more attentive service. No one ever came by to ask how the food was, and I actually had to box up my own leftovers. At this price point, that should not be happening. The restaurant itself is beautiful, and I can see myself coming back for drinks and maybe a few apps at the bar. But for dinner? I'd skip the table and the entrees.
