My husband and I went to the Top of the Hub for after dinner drinks during a vacation in Boston. We were sat at a table by the windows and I could not stop looking at the beautiful view of Boston. It was magnificent. I tried different specialty drinks off of their drink menu and all were prepared very well... more

7 of us had a great table on NE corner of the restaurant. We had 6pm reservation and stayed there till 8pm so we got to view gorgeous sunset over river, and see downtown. We weren't expecting much for food, as we enjoyed the scene, but the food was actually very good. Our waitress was very attentive and nice. Our... more

If you want views over Boston, this is a great option. We went to the Jazz Lounge at sunset, which was phenomenal. The quality of the food was good ... not exquisite, but good. What we didn't understand was how they insisted on rushing us, despite the restaurant being half empty. They put our 2nd course down before we had... more

Went there for lunch during restaurant week. The views are spectacular. The service (William Rocks!!) was very impressive. Will definitely return with family and friends for lunch, dinner, cocktails, dessert, etc. more

You can't beat the view here. It's on the top of the Prudential tower, so it's the place to take somebody from out of town who you want to impress. The food is ok, not excellent, and it's rather pricey! more

We had a nice dinner at the Top of the Hub but the experience was marred by two things. 1. The waiter was kidding around about people who smell like douchebags - not what I want to think about just before I eat. 2. When we got the bill we found out the steak special cost $62 (normal entree price... more

Unlike many posters, we actually had perfectly fine service. (The place was pretty empty since we went there on a weeknight, which may have had something to do with it.) The views were absolutely amazing. The food, I found, was very carefully prepared but lacking in taste probably due to inferior ingredients. For example, they said they used farm-raised salmon... more
