Very nice restaurant within the Royal Sonesta Hotel. Especially nice is the outside patio overlooking the Charles in warm weather. Inside is fine but can be noisy.

Art Bar was recommended to me by my friend Penny as having a nice view and ambience to grab a lobster roll. It exceeded our expectations with delicious food and great service. I'll definitely go back when I'm in the area.

Artbar is one of the most beautiful places we've been. The food is delicious, the service is out of this world, they were able to accommodate a pretty unusual request for a special celebration. I'm very grateful for them and I will come here very often, highly recommended!!!

I have eaten here many times and Francis, our server has always been a pleasure to be with. My guest had a bunch of food requests, and she handled it with grace and made my client feel welcome. The kitchen honored every request wonderfully. I enjoyed the crab cake, the view and the service. Will be back!

Wonderful Valentine's Day experience! We were able to dine in an igloo on the terrace. The vibes were immaculate & our server was super attentive and pleasant! The food was so good and presentation was lovely. Definitely a spot worth checking out (& they validate parking!)
Jeremy
Weird table next to the server station and the door to the hotel was open so passerbys were looking in on dinner. Quite odd
Karen
Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed while also taking the time to chat with us and make us feel welcome. The food was delicious! Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we will definitely be back.

Took over 30 minutes for our meal and then the food wasn't hot. One burger was salty and the rest of meals were below par expect for the kids grilled cheese which was fantastic.

We ended up here unexpectedly and really, really enjoyed the food. It was super accommodating for dietary needs like veggie and gluten free. It felt like a hidden gem!

We were just there for drinks and apps. The drinks menu was extensive and it was difficult to choose from many great sounding cocktails. The helpful and friendly bartender recommended one that was particularly seasonal and popular, and it was very good. For food, we absolutely loved the vegan empazone with Beyond meat. Flavorful, crispy, good portion size. Based on this quick visit, we will definitely be back for drinks and or a full meal another time. It was early on a Saturday and not too busy, so it was easy to get seats when just walking in and the noise level was very reasonable for having a conversation. Slightly hard to find because it's inside the hotel and Google maps was confused about which entrance to use.
Vegetarian options: Menu is not large all together but there are a decent number of vegetarian/vegan options. We were just there for drinks and apps, and absolutely loved the vegan empazone with Beyond meat. Flavorful, crispy, good portion size.
Had breakfast this morning. I was very disappointed. The orange juice was far from being freshly squeezed (as mentioned in the menu). The oatmeal was more a soup (the least tasty I’ve ever eaten). Service quality was a the best average. Never again

I would give this restaurant zero stars if I could. The location is beautiful but that's where it ended. We sat down and the waitress took our drink order then it took 25min just for them to get delivered. Meanwhile people that came in well after us already got their drink and food immediately. After waiting another 30min our food showed up cold. Before I ordered I informed our server I had a tree nut allergy. She acknowledged it. My food then came out covered in walnuts. Not to to mention there was zero mention of any nuts being on this. I flagged down the waitress and she was more concerned with her not messing up not my food having the allergen on it. She said she talked to the manager but they never came to the table. I will never go back.

We were denied seating when asked to be seated outside on 10/12/24 around 12:30. The hostess told us that there was a "problem with bees" & that the patio was closed. Imagine our surprise when we walked past that very same patio 20 minutes later to see 2 different parties seated there with drinks and appetizers in front of them! I am left with the definite impression that we were being discriminated against. Not cool.

Charles river delight. The food here was borderline epic strangely. I had salmon and it was literally perfect. Crispy fish with super tasty bean salad, so good fiber, and just a well thought out meal. I think we spent $125 with tip and got to enjoy the skyline from that side of town with some nice food prepared well and with consistency. The joint got crazy busy and they seemed to be in a good groove with getting food out and getting drinks to tables. I didn’t see anybody going Karen on any of the waitstaff or anybody huffing and puffing about their steak being too cooked so I would say this is literally the perfect spot to hit on a Sunday for solid food and drinks. Prob great spot for the hotel guests They had like four or five mixed drinks made with alcohol feee spirits that were available that would be fun to try if you are driving or biking.
I would seriously give credit to the chef that was running it Sunday night everything seemed to be cranking pretty good. My first impression was ‘uh oh this place is gonna blow’ because there was nobody at the hostess stand and it wasn’t overtly clear if you seat yourself or not. All I did was this weird thing of be a human being and nicely ask one of the waiters if there was a spot we could check in or if he could point us in the right direction. He graciously said sure come on in and grab this table of four right here I will grab you all some ice waters!
Solid team, hope they have nice management and are treated kindly, it seemed as thought they were happy so fingers crossed.
Thanks again for taking good care of us (and the full patio of folks) before we enjoyed member night at the MOS next door! Great little spot this will for sure become where we hit for eats when we go to MOS since it’s about 100 yards from where you park.
