    It was so great to have this as an option for Thanksgiving Dinner. Staff was friendly, helpful and attentive. Food was delicious. We will definitely keep this venue in mind for future celebrations.

    In the past we have had Thanksgiving dinner at the Marriott and it was very good. This time I would say that it was just mediocre. The turkey and stuffing were just okay. The service was minimal. I was told that there would be a 20% gratuity added to the bill. They wrote it down as a "service Charge" and were still looking for an additional tip. I think that since service people new there was a 20% tip, they were not motivated to do an exceptional job. Will be looking for another place for next year's Thanksgiving. Sorry.

    So pleasantly surprised. Food was extremely delicious and cooked perfectly. Ordered the mussels appetizer, sirloin tips and pulled pork sandwich. Cosmo was strong and for dessert the chocolate cake was amazing. Restaurant was very quiet for a Friday evening at 6pm. Wait staff very attentive.

    I was really surprised at how good our food was at a casual hotel restaurant! The clam chowder rivals anywhere, which is a real statement in the Boston area, but it's true! Otherwise, we shared chicken wings which I thought were fine (but my guest called them out as better than Buffalo Wild Wings, for the record.) I don't know if I'd say Riverbend Grille is worth a special trip, but it's well worth consideration if you're passing through the area and certainly if you're staying at Marriott Boston Newton.

    Where the Marriott used to have a dining room, diners are now crowded into a very noisy bar area. The menu, already very limited, had items on it, which were not available. Our server, though very pleasant and accommodating, must have been assigned more tables than he could handle because he was rarely seen and available.  Sorry to see such a decline in a place where we used to enjoy dining.

    Breakfast was very good. Menu items fresh and prepared to order I did hear the steak on the dinner menu was excellent!

    The food was good but seemed a little overpriced. The Aperol spritzes seemed really tiny. Children's menu items were a little pricey at $15. The view was nice and it was convenient if you're staying at the hotel. Our server was friendly as well.
