Not only were the food and drinks delicious but the service was top notch. Highly recommend!

The food was just ok, the martinis come half full in small glasses but are still $18 a piece. The server was very nice but the service was painfully slow.

The restaurant is inside the hotel and the ambiance is really nice. I went there for my birthday with my fiance. The food was so good! We ordered the calamari for an appetizer and it was very delicious. For drinks I had the Killer Queen to drink and it was perfect for my taste (I enjoy more of the sweet drinks). For dinner, I had the scallops and my fiance had the House Made Fettuccini. My seared scallops were made perfectly and they were complimented well with the risotto. Definitely recommend and will probably be back again.

I've eaten there several times over the past year and haven't been disappointed. The "Killer Queen" is an excellent cocktail. The salmon, scallops, chicken and steak entrees are very good. One detail is that the "chocolate cake" is actually a molten chocolate cake with a delicious soft center.

We had a fantastic seafood dinner here! (Lots of gluten-free options too!) What a hidden gem!

Great spot in the Kimpton Marlow. Food is good (steak!) oysters- oyster happy hour, service is fun and friendly and menu offers good selection of wine and cocktails!! We stay at hotel often, and enjoy at least 1 dinner here b/c it's good, when we come to Boston!

What a beautiful setting! The Marlowe Hotel is such a gracious venue for dining and, if you ‘re looking for an overnight treat, it's in a beautiful quiet location. Parking is discounted (validated) during lunch hours, at the restaurant, in the adjacent garage. We were seated promptly and served graciously. The Burrata salad ($17), consisting of arugula, figs, toasted almonds, a generous serving of mozzarrella, honey vinaigrette and grilled rosemary focaccia, was incredible. It hit all the right taste buds. Our drinks - one of thick, cold, luscious, mango; the other, blueberry lemonade, with lots of blueberries - were perfect for the hot summer day. I will return for lunch, brunch or dinner, SOON!

Food is excellent but the vibe is a hotel lobby. We seemed to be the only local diners - everyone else was a hotel guest.

Kristin

Great experience for brunch as always at Bambara! French toast and beef hash were the highlights.

Absolutely delicious breakfast.

Reserved for July 4th. Came especially for oysters. Restaraunt was short staffed. Was notified when we got here that they were not serving oysters and had a shortened menu. Server was rude when we said we weren't staying. Still tipped 20% and he lotterally double checked the receipt to make sure I tipped. Sorry a $10 tip for 10 minutes and 4 drinks was bad.

If you come here between 5-7pm they have fresh oyster/dollar. I feel it’s such a steal coming from LA, California.

Salad was fresh too.

Best oysters in Cambridge

The oysters looked very small but they tasted so good! I ordered one more dozen!
Not in the picture but the beet salad was super fresh and tasty, the clam chowder was really good. The ribs were perfectly cooked and not too sweet!!!

Our server, Athena, was very attentive and kind.

And they have Austin Hope for red wine in their wine selection. That was impressive!
Overall experience was very pleasant and the food was delicious.

Way too expensive for what you get. Tiny 1 egg on an egg sandwich for $15
