We did not enjoy our experience at all. Our service was subpar and they kept getting the temperature wrong on my mom's steak. We went to celebrate my mom's birthday (she came to visit from NY) and sadly we did not have the best experience.

I've been to BWH a few times only for brunch but this past weekend I decided to stop in for a solo early evening steak dinner which was amazing and the service was great my waiter Cornelia was very accommodating , the management team were actively making sure all patrons were well taken care of

Reservation was not honored. The host said he couldn't find it in system at exactly 4 mins past the reservation time. App indicated I was already dining so suspect someone else used my reservation.
