Terrible value for breakfast buffet. Eggs yuck. Dry bread. Coffee was ok and abundant at least. But food not worth the price.

We hosted a work event at the Punch Bowl, and had a fantastic experience. Management helped us all the way through the planning process for the event, and were open to every single request we made. The day of the event the staff members were professional, and the event was very successful.

The staff and Jen was incredible to work with. We ordered pizzas, mezze platter, and the brussels. Always love our meals here. Would highly recommend.
Breakfast - don't waste your time and money. This is the worst breakfast possible. Inept service. Pricey. Terrible food. Coffee was not hot. Nothing worse than being hungry and watching your meal sitting on the counter getting cold until someone bothers to bring it to you. Go ANYWHERE else.

Great place for excellent food and quiet conversation. The menu is interesting enough to have fun things to try, and also has the basics to meet all the cravings of a visitor or local looking for classic New England fare. The cocktails have been well- made and creative, over several visits, as well. (My Beantown Margarita recently was fantastic!) Service is attentive but not intrusive or hurried. Highly recommend this place, especially for a quieter gathering.

We booked a business breakfast with the restaurant over a month in advance. I contacted the restaurant more than 4 times before the event to modify the reservation either online or over the phone. Every time I spoke to them on the phone or changed the reservation, I received an email confirmation of my reservation. The day of our business breakfast, they said they had NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE EVENT!!!! Unacceptable and unbelievable- how is that possible?!? I spoke to several different people and they were all able to pull up the reservation. The restaurant made our business look unprofessional and they made us late. There is nothing else I could have done to secure/confirm our reservation. I tried calling the day of the event over 5 times and no one picked up.... I have NEVER HAD SUCH AN UNRELIABLE EXPERIENCE!!! They didn't even comp us a meal or anything to make up for it. I'm appalled. SUCH TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Punch Bowl. Having eaten there many times over the past few years, every time my wife & I stay at the Hikton Garden Inn, I can earnestly state that the food is great, the service is exceptional (look for Billy at the bar--he's the best!) and the atmosphere is very "city." Enjoy!

I could eat about 500 of these $1.25 oysters

I ate here when I stayed at the attached hotel. The food was average, but the service was sometimes very slow. Nice atmosphere, and live music on Saturday evening.

Highly recommend hosting your next event at Punch Bowl in Brookline, MA! Owners Jen and Josh Ziskin are incredible and the food, service, location, and atmosphere are absolutely fantastic! Having valet parking available to your guests made everything easy and seamless too. Whether you are looking to host an event for work, family, friends, or a special occasion, I encourage you to reach out to Jen Ziskin and begin planning your event at Punch Bowl on the main level or on the third floor terrace!

The staff seemed confused that I wanted breakfast at 8:30am, when that was in fact all they were serving. A disassociating experience.

We're locals that were seeking a nice place to eat close by. We were not disappointed!! We were seated by a familiar face and were so glad that we made the leap - thanks Ace Atmosphere: contemporary lux. Menu: Pub grub but with a chef's hand. Service: Fun! But then we were served by Ireland's future premier doctor. If you don't mind the sound of a kitchen - sit towards the back, want a little more quiet sit towards the front. Just go, both the steak and the Hake were very good and prepared to perfection

Another group/business meal. The food is tasty. We had delicious pizza appetizers among others. But the room is uninviting. More important, the staff hasn't figured out how to accommodate a small group. Our appetizers had been cleared before they took our orders for the main course. As a result, the wait between courses was far too long
Parking: Local parking meters. Passport app makes this easy
