Restaurants near John F Kennedy Presidential Museum Library

Food and ambience was great. My first time there I really enjoyed everything up until when the bill came tax, gratuity (20%) was included which was not an issue since there was 6 of us. Bill was $300+ including tax and gratuity. Paid in cash of $350 and waitress asked me how much change I want back. This caught me off guard and didn’t know what to say and think. I told waitress to keep the change because I didn’t want to cause a scene. Is this normal and standard when gratuity was already included on the bill for the waitress to ask a customer? Don’t think I’ll come back again.

The food, drinks, and service were all excellent, we were celebrating a birthday and they surprised us with some great ice cream topped with hot fudge, sprinkles, and a candle, which was so sweet and really went above and beyond.

I've eaten here many many times and it remains my favorite restaurant in Boston. Food is just spectacular and service is casually impeccable. We had such a lovely dinner, particularly the three in our party who had never been before. Have the tuna crudo from the raw bar menu--relatively simple but as good a dish as I've ever had.

This was our first visit to the restaurant, but it won’t be our last! The food was great. We loved the vibe and the service was fantastic!!! We highly recommend the Suya beef appetizer and the very spicy plantains (can’t remember the name of the dish). Great wine and cocktails! There’s nothing wrong with this restaurant (though I a bit more salt on the short ribs would have been good) and we understand why it’s so difficult to get a reservation. But we’ll keep trying to get there again.

Fri, Jan 3rd: My family and I had the best experience. We requested a quiet table upstairs to avoid the more "bustling" atmosphere downstairs. The cocktails, apps, steaks, sides and wine were all mouth watering and top notch; but our waiter, Troy, made the evening that much more memorable. His attention to detail, suggestions, and overall service were impeccable. We will request his table on future visits!
