Amazing service and even more delicious food. Loved the duck and squab.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Saigon Babylon! I think it’s one of the better places I’ve been to in Boston in terms of food, ambiance, and location. The drink options were really fun and tasted delicious. Although the menu was small, there was a good variety. The food had a lot of flavor and felt very unique. Finally, the service was a little slow but everyone was really kind and welcoming. I would definitely come back!

We were so excited to try this place because we love Cicada, but were quite disappointed. The food was extremely salty and all had the same flavor profile (fish sauce and vinegar). It was als expensive for what you got, and the despite the expense, the service was bad and had oddities like you had to pay on your way out, in the tiny cramped reception area. Views were nice and seemed like most people were just there to drink. We won’t be back.

Food was delicious, but pricey, and service was good. The menu is pretty limited though and some of the items were not available, limiting it further which was disappointing. There is also no website to look at the menu ahead of time which is more important when the menu is so small. One of my friend can't eat seafood or fish and that was most of the menu. Probably won't go back.

The rooftop vibes are immaculate - note that it's walk-in only for the rooftop. The food was good but I wouldn't come here just for the food. Interesting but pricy. I enjoyed the fluke and the housemade soft serve the most. The mushroom stirfry was good, but it tastes exactly like how you expect, so if you love mushrooms you'd love it.

Wonderful food, beautiful ambiance. Beef carpaccio was incredible. I also reccomend the bubbly Vietnamese rice wine. Thanks for a lovely anniversary.

Had a great evening visiting for a drink and conversation with my friend who also happens to run the place (so my positive bias is above board here). Very enjoyable space and vibe, friendly bartender. As I'm sure others have mentioned, enter through the hotel lobby and take the elevator up to get to this cool place and spend time connecting with people!

Stumbled on this and sat on deck for walk in for two. Great view, vibe and seating. Small menu but needs no more. Drinks are unique and food is complex but approachable. Had fluke and beef carpaccio both outstanding. Service was attentive but not in your face. I can’t find a single fault.

The roof top is amazing seeing the beautiful sunset! The food was very tasty and scrumptious. There wasn’t a single item we didn’t like. We had the Steamed Manila Clams the broth was amazing. We also had the Pho Bo Xao and Monkfish for our entrees. Both were absolutely delicious. Then for desert we had Housemade Softserve and a Honey Mousse Expresso very unique. The bartender Stella was amazing. I would highly recommend a visit!!

The place itself had a nice vibe and the atmosphere was enjoyable, but unfortunately the food and drinks were very disappointing. Both the quantity and the quality were far below expectations, which really took away from the overall experience.

I went here with a group to celebrate a friend's birthday, and the food, drinks, and service were fantastic. We reserved a table inside for dinner, and the server was kind enough to save a space on the outdoor rooftop patio for us to enjoy drinks and dessert after our meal. I've been twice now and will definitely come back.

Drinks: We tried many of the signature cocktails, and they were all creative, refreshing, and tasty. They even improvised a few drinks for us based on what we were in the mood for!

Food: We had the shrimp salad, beef carpaccio, a duck special, the fluke, and the squab. Everything was excellent and made with fresh and high-quality ingredients, but the fluke was the star of the show. We liked it so much, we ordered it a second twice.
