The ambience was royal. The kind of place where a punjabi walks in and immediately fixes his posture like, “Yes, I am fancy today.” Now the food… OYE HOYE. Whoever is cooking back there deserves citizenship in Antarctica because the Acai bowl was so cold, man 😂. The flavors hit so perfectly I almost stood up and said, “Tadi O bhen nu.” We will comeback yoooo

Had dinner with my husband for his birthday. Loved the jazz music, it was a perfect Sunday evening in Boston. Our waiter Dylan recommended a terrific bottle of red wine which took our dinning experience to another level

Very nice IG worthy restaurant with panoramic views of Boston. Looking to return for dinner and see Boston at night.

The view is amazing from the 17th floor. The meatballs were amazing, and the Bolognese was really good. The chicken was crispy and flavourful, and also pretty large dish.
ButterSquash ravioli was good. And the salmon in wine was excellent.
Overall great dinner.

If i could give 0 stars i would. The service was very bad , starting with the receptionist at the time. I do not recommend. They are rude

We just discovered Contessa this year, definitely Bostons hidden gem! Our other two visits were 10/10, amazing food and views. The ambiance and decor is perfect. It is pricier so this is def a “special occasion” place for me.
Three of my family members flew in & we went to contessa Sunday to celebrate an engagement/birthday. Our reservation was 10am, to be fair we were a few minutes late because there was a line for the elevator. We waited about 15 min for our table, the hostess seemed pretty overwhelmed. When we were seated and given waters, there was clearly a mix up because no one came back to our table for over half an hour. Bussers kept bringing us other guests food and drinks, we told them a few times we hadn’t seen a waiter yet/menu/drinks/etc.
Our waitress finally came and apologized and explained she didn’t know we were her table. She was really sweet and did her best to save the experience. We didn’t end up getting our food until 11:37 (reservation at 10am). My mom ordered a cup of black coffee the first time we saw the waitress, but we didn’t actually get it until after we already gotten the bill. The waitress did advise us that the coffee was really backup/not to order it, but two hours for a cup of black coffee is wild.
Super out of character, I will for sure be back because I love this place but will likely avoid Sunday brunch again. My impression is that they have too many customers for Saturday/Sunday brunch to keep up with.

Service was AMAZING. Everybody was so friendly and sweet. The food was incredible. The lobster pasta was the best pasta dish I’ve ever eaten in my life. The veal cutlet was crazy good too. This is definitely now a top 3 favorite Boston restaurant!!
Our server was fantastic. We got a free dessert, which he didn't need to do,but did (it was me and my friends birthday). The dishes, atmosphere and overall experience was fantastic. Will come again!

Bad management and bad staffing. Very disappointing. Loud and stuffy. Food is mediocre. Over rated place. Don’t water your money there! Save it for someplace else.

I would give it 0 star if I could. The place is loud and stuffy. No waiting room. We waited 50 minutes after our reservation time and the staff did not do anything to get our table ready. It is TOTALLY over rated.

Never got to sit down; had to wait 50 minutes for a RESERVATION and eventually left almost an hour after the reservation time, never had been sat down at all.

We went for breakfast twice and drinks once. The breakfast was really excellent, we tried something new each day. Service was really excellent. Drinks at the bar one evening were great. View is gorgeous! Decor makes it feel very special! Great for photos although we didn't take any.
