Amazing ambiance and the service is excellent. The martini's are extra special and the food is very good.

Several weeks ago I made reservations over the phone directly with the Omni Parker House restaurant for 2023 Thanksgiving lunch for my family at 11:30 am. Today I received a call to contact the restaurant. Upon calling the restaurant about my prior reservation, Debbie informed me that lunch was being served on Thanksgiving from noon to 4, so our 11:30 reservations had been canceled. When I asked her to please move our reservation to noon, the closest time to our original reservations of 11:30, I was told that noon was unavailable & we would have to schedule a later time. While we did reschedule for 1, we had to cancel our afternoon tour reservations since we had been moved from an 11:30 dining time to a 1 pm dining time, an hour & a half later & would not make the 2nd previously scheduled event. It seems that with standing reservations for 11:30, there would have been no issue with moving us to the next closest time at noon. Hoping that this unexpectedly poor customer service is not an indication of the quality of service & food we will experience on Thanksgiving.

I ordered a club sandwich, chicken parm. and a lobster roll. The food was very good but not great. The hostess was very nice and courteous. For a late night snack, it was great. I would go back again but a bit earlier.

We opted for breakfast here at the oldest hotel in Boston with so much history. It was excellent. The restaurant feels like an old cruise ship in style. The portions are large, tasty & considering the venue surprisingly good value. We had wonderful service from everyone & thoroughly enjoyed our little journey back in time!

Old world charm at its best ! We went in to see where JFK proposed to Jackie and we were not disappointed! This hotel brings you back in time , so happy they haven’t had any major renovations as it is an historic landmark. We had the Boston Pie - delicious and servers were superb !

This was such a disappointment. They have been refilling our coffee and orange juice nonstop and never even got to order. We asked the lady if we could put our order in and she said “he will take it” meanwhile it’s one waiter running around a bunch of tables. Not once did he come up and ask what we wanted to eat. We ended up sitting through 5 cups of coffee later and the waiter never came up to take our order. So we left! What a shame. Get more waiters.

I have always wanted to go here but what a disappointment. For this being such a nice restaurant you would think that your waiter would stop by your table every once in a while to see if you needed anything, but nope, not happening here with this waiter. In fact if a waiter is busy you see them attending to other tables but we just didn’t even see our waiter, it’s like he would totally disappear, what the….? We were gonna have more Mimosa’s, guess not. However we were not leaving before my husband could get some Boston Cream Pie (his favorite dessert) It is such a shame this place doesn’t have their act together, cause it is a beautiful place and very historic (The Kennedy’s use to dine here)
We stopped in later in the evening and got three “pie” for takeout. The cake/pie was good, but not for what you have to pay for it. It was small and we expected it would have more cream in it. People like us buy it more because it was invented at the hotel and the hotel knows it has a captive audience in that regard.

This is perhaps the fanciest breakfast we have ever had - silver service with linen tablecloths and napkins. But don’t be nervous - the food is excellent and well presented. Coffee was a little weak for Australian palates but all in all it was a lovely dining experience - like being in an art gallery with super attentive service.

We only ate there once for lunch but the food was delicious and the service excellent. They only serve breakfast and lunch, not dinner.

I came here for the famous Boston creamy pie. It was closed on Monday and Tuesday, so I got the pie from Starbucks next to the bar. And I think the pie is okay. Maybe I should dine in someday and see!

I’ve read up on the history of Parker House Hotel and it’s restaurant and I was happy to finally come in and have breakfast here. It was pretty quiet and I think there were only two other tables of guests when I came in. The waitress was really friendly and went to get my ice tea for me. I ordered the corn beef and hash with toast and sunny side up eggs on top. The hash was good, it had red peppers and onions. While I was there, the waitress shared a couple of fun bits about the restaurant. This was a place that Julia Child would frequent and sat at the table next to where I was sitting and a young upcoming chef, Emeril Lagasse was cooking. I also sat at the table (#40), where JFK had announced his engagement to Jackie. Food and good conversation, who could ask for more. I hope to eat here again soon!
