Great location to watch sunset and listen to live music. Unique experience in Boston. Food is decent and cocktails are alright. My margarita wasn't the best but the shrimp cocktail was high quality.

Food is extremely overpriced for the quality and portion you get. Drinks were solid. Service is very slow due to staff shortages and the fact that all drinks for all guests come from one small pop up bar outside. The music performed was great, but I wouldn't make a reservation again for this

Even though the band had to start late because of the rain, we were then exposed to 20 minutes or more of them testing all their instruments with the speakers on which was not appreciated. When they did play, it was just too loud and many customers were complaining. They could've turn down the speakers or tured some of them off. There was no reason they couldn't fix it with so many customers complaining. The food was so so, but made worse by the fact that there was still paper lining on the pepperoni slices that we did not discover till it was in our mouths. Not what we expected from a very pricey, upscale place. We've gone twice last year and we were satisfied then, but not last night. We left sooner than we planned because of the overwhelming noise of the band.

I didn't even sit down at my table yet when you were trying to flip the table by telling me I had to vacate by 7pm when the concert started at 6pm. I used to come and give you my money every other week. Then you started your $40pp minimum even though everyone was spending $80. Then you started the hassling to leave an hour after the concert starts so you can flip the table. 5 other tables were EMPTY!!!! And you're yelling at us to leave when the service was REALLY SLOW because the kitchen was busy. We're not complaining because the kitchen is backed up or service is slow -- we get it. But we don't get it when there are lots of empty tables, and while WE'RE STILL WAITING FOR OUR ORDER, you're telling us to leave.

It was nice place for a drink, but definitely not for dinner. Initially too a while to get service, but than server was really nice and helpful. Food is just appetizers, not a place for dinner.

Venue is absolutely beautiful and the band was amazing but the food was so overpriced, tiny and just not very good! The wine was good but not cold enough, I had to put ice in it. I think they could do so much more with this lovely space in terms of the menu, it would be perfect if the food was better! Next time I will just come and watch the band and get food somewhere else.

A really fun night - Summer in the City music series was a blast! The food, drinks and service were all terrific! I thought the food plates would be teeny but they were adequate for my small appetite. Lobster rolls were quite good, burger delicious and flatbread tasty. Server suggested that one order of truffle fries would be sufficient and we had plenty leftover even though they were really good, just couldn't finish. The music was a lot of fun - Country Wild Heart! All around a really fun special night! Would definitely go again!

Food (if you want to call it that) is horrible and overpriced. Reminded me of food wed get at the YMCA summer camp. $60 for tiny plate of hummus that was inedible, 2 ridiculous sliders with a bag of chips and a small french fry that was soggy.

I got the Summer in the City concerts often. This night I was seated too close to a speaker, and it was blaring, and I left after just 3 songs because it was intolerable. The truffle fries are delicious but most of the other food items are overpriced, as are the drinks. Last week a friend was given a wine pour that was unacceptable - I've never seen such a stingy pour. Some of the wait staff is great, but it's not universal and tonight was bad and management wasn't great either. And no soft drinks other than an overpriced mocktail?? How can a restaurant not have ANY soft drinks. I've never heard of this. It's irresponsible. What a disappointment.

Nice area and good service. The drink portions were on the small size considering the prices, but the main issue was the food...it was just not that good. We had a flatbread with lots of brie cheese that totally clashed with the pepperoni and scallions.

We went for the Summer in the City concert. Brian Duprey performed and was excellent. It was a beautiful night and everyone at the Boston Harbor Hotel was so hospitable. Definitely a great evening.

Delightful evening! Great service, food and music was wonderful. We enjoyed the hummus plate, pizza and chicken wings. Next time we will try the sliders. Small portions but just enough. A Perfect evening!

We had a 7:30 reservation and at 8:30 we're told we had to leave - there was a 90 min maximum at the table. 1. We were only there 60 min 2. Other tables were there much longer 3. There were available tables 4 we were not even given our check yet and would have liked to get coffee and dessert Terrible management decision- we live in Mellinium Towers and go there frequently

We were outside on the terrace to watch the Music in the City. The noise level was quite from the crowd and the music was easy to hear. Service was outstanding. Menu was very limited. I also want to point out that they saved my table for my party even though we were 20 minutes late (coming from Dutchess County in NY, over a 4 hour drive) I really appreciated it as it was the kick off to a wonderful weekend in Boston
