    We have been to Hemenway’s multiple times over the past few years, and our experience has always been very positive. The food is terrific, the presentation artistic, and the service is excellent. The new renovation is fabulous! We will be back!

    Get the lobster tortellini, it was amazing. We also tried the paella, the wedge salad, and the crème brûlée, all equally as amazing! The service was impeccable, everyone from our server to the people working at the raw bar we sat at were so friendly. We will be back next time we’re in town!

    Food- excellent as always! Service good but not up to their usual. Perhaps understandable given very recent re-opening. Restaurant was cold- food on table cooled way too quickly.

    The food and service were both outstanding. The wine by the glass options need to be looked at. The dessert menu also needs an over haul.

    This was our first time at Hemingway's we absolutely love the place can't wait to go back again. I had the New York sirloin, my wife had the seafood . The next time I plan on trying the Seafood. The staff was very professional and very attentive. I can't wait to go back.

    Grateful to score bar seats for the re-opening. EVERYTHING was delicious! I had the Blue Monarch and Magdalena drinks, a friend had the Pride & Passion. All were beautiful and tasted heavenly! We enjoyed all three sushi rolls, my friends fave was the lobster roll, I was obsessed with the salmon and the crab sushi rolls! And we loved the Dressed Cucumbers - sooooo good, great lil snack dish, I could have eaten a big bowl of them! And the Mussels were yummo too. Love the fabric on the bar and raw bar seats! Love the plants and flowers high above the bar. Loved everything! So great seeing all of the Hemenway's staff that make every visit so special : Shelby, Chris, James, Nikki and Matt were stellar on the bar, Kat, Brandi, Mary Ellen and Danielle and Nicole. Thank you for a wonderful night out.
