    Underwhelming Mother's Day Brunch - High Price, Low Value at Waterline Boston Marriott Long Wharf For Mother's Day, we opted for the brunch buffet at the Marriott in downtown Boston. The restaurant itself was modern and artfully decorated, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The "double seats" provided an odd moment – sitting on one side caused the other to puff up, making the other person jump! While the buffet layout was accessible and the omelet chef worked efficiently, the food quality was a major letdown. Hot breakfast items like hash browns, scrambled eggs, and sausages were stale and bland. The cheese offering was a single type, in pieces, and the overall breakfast selection felt basic, reminiscent of a budget motel's free offering. The meat station was pork-only (which we do not eat), and the otherwise generous seafood spread (stone crabs, shrimp, oysters, clams) surprisingly lacked any fish, such as salmon. Considering the $120 per person charge, it was particularly disappointing that no alcoholic drinks were included, not even a celebratory mimosa for mothers on their special day. A small tin of chocolates for our mother at the end was a token gesture. Ultimately, the quality and variety did not align with the premium price, leaving us feeling the brunch was poor value.

    Service was bad, waiter would not approach the table, instead he would stand 3 feet behind me. We ordered a bowl of clam chowder and fish and chips. We had one spoon full of chowder and the fish shows up. We told the Manager to take it back and have it re-fired when we were ready. What finally showed up was cold inside and dripping in oil. Server refilled our ice tea, forgot the ice... the tea was warmer than the fish!. No offer to compensate us for the issues plus they failed to deduct the $35 destination fee the hotel charged from the bill (the only reason we ate there in the first place so we could recoup the silly fee.

    The food and service were excellent. The atmosphere is of a hotel bar- a bit noisy with a fair amount of bustle. Tables feel a bit open to the hotel lobby unless you are lucky to get one near a window or tucked in a corner. There is a nice view if you score a good table. I would return for the food and service, but would rate the atmosphere better if it were a bit cozier and more relaxing.

    An amazing lunch! Beautiful view and ambiance. A warm welcomed by Courtney who allowed us to pick any table we liked. Elmer our waiter was professional and attentive. The 3 of us choose the dining out menu and it did not disappoint. The portions were shareable. Every bite of all the dishes were flavorful. Drinks are tasty although the bartender got my Mai Tai wrong. Only suggestion I have is including a small dessert on the lunch dine out menu. Highly recommended!!!

    True experience of Fine Dining! Everything was well cooked, from the appetizer all the way until the dessert!! The service itself was phenomenal. The only thing that was a little unexpected were there was a lot of kids at the time that I went. Other than too many kids in the environment, I would highly recommend to friends and family to dine at this restaurant if you’re looking for a special night out with your partner or your girlfriends!!
