Best WLM Reviews

We had a good time here, sitting for a nice dinner with colleagues outside on Art Bar terrace enjoying the view in Charles River and Boston skyline. Service, drinks and food were good. A bigger problem with sitting outside though are the birds who are sitting on the ceiling elements literally above you. It is not very pleasant when they „digest“ on you - happened twice and that limited the experience as we were getting a bit stressed checking if any birds were sitting above us.
Outdoor dinning was shaded from afternoon sun, very pleasant. Just beyond a narrow roadway, a pleasing harbor with all the associated water sounds.
We had a party of 9 that was easily accommodated. Restaurant was busy but our drinks and food came out briskly!
Waitress was delightful very helpful with questions
We were just there for drinks and apps. The drinks menu was extensive and it was difficult to choose from many great sounding cocktails. The helpful and friendly bartender recommended one that was particularly seasonal and popular, and it was very good. For food, we absolutely loved the vegan empazone with Beyond meat. Flavorful, crispy, good portion size. Based on this quick visit, we will definitely be back for drinks and or a full meal another time. It was early on a Saturday and not too busy, so it was easy to get seats when just walking in and the noise level was very reasonable for having a conversation. Slightly hard to find because it's inside the hotel and Google maps was confused about which entrance to use.
I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. The location is beautiful but that's where it ended. We sat down and the waitress took our drink order then it took 25min just for them to get delivered. Meanwhile people that came in well after us already got their drink and food immediately. After waiting another 30min our food showed up cold. Before I ordered I informed our server I had a tree nut allergy. She acknowledged it. My food then came out covered in walnuts. Not to to mention there was zero mention of any nuts being on this. I flagged down the waitress and she was more concerned with her not messing up not my food having the allergen on it. She said she talked to the manager but they never came to the table. I will never go back.
Charles river delight. The food here was borderline epic strangely. I had salmon and it was literally perfect. Crispy fish with super tasty bean salad, so good fiber, and just a well thought out meal. I think we spent $125 with tip and got to enjoy the skyline from that side of town with some nice food prepared well and with consistency. The joint got crazy busy and they seemed to be in a good groove with getting food out and getting drinks to tables. Prob great spot for the hotel guests They had like four or five mixed drinks made with alcohol feee spirits that were available that would be fun to try if you are driving or biking.
Solid team, hope they have nice management and are treated kindly, it seemed as thought they were happy so fingers crossed.
Thanks again for taking good care of us (and the full patio of folks) before we enjoyed member night at the MOS next door! Great little spot this will for sure become where we hit for eats when we go to MOS since it’s about 100 yards from where you park.
Thanks again
Our first time. Expect leisurely service. It was busy when we arrived. It seems only the servers understood the delays to the customers. There was only so much they could do. So we waited about 20 minutes for our drinks. We ordered the indigo cosmo and the bloody mary. We also ordered the Artbar burger and the lamb burger. Both were good not excellent. The fries were excellent. Yes I would try again - the eggs and home fries looked excellent.
Had breakfast this morning. I was very disappointed.
The orange juice was far from being freshly squeezed (as mentioned in the menu).
The oatmeal was more a soup (the least tasty I’ve ever eaten).
Service quality was a the best average.
Never again
A solid hotel restaurant with average service and great food.
Came in this past weekend for brunch. Once we arrived, we were told to wait for another 15 minutes as their kitchen was understaffed and overwhelmed with orders. We eventually got seated around the promised time, and thankfully, there weren’t any significant delays afterwards.
We got the crab cake, Artbar burger, and the bananas foster French toast. Based on the reviews, I didn’t have high expectations for their food, but they were surprisingly good. I liked the crispy outer layer on the crab cake, and the arugula salad on the side was a great pair with the lightly seasoned crab meat inside. There weren’t any fresh veggie toppings on the burger, but it was still packed with umami flavors. We also enjoyed the Banana French toast. It wasn’t overly sweet, but the candied walnut toppings gave it a right amount of sugar boost.
Overall, I was glad to find out that ArtBar exceeded my expectations. Prices were reasonable for the quality, and I would probably return if I can’t get a brunch reservation at other popular spots in the city.
