We went to The Beacon at View Boston for my son's 13th birthday. It was perfect. The food was simple but great, water poured for us, extremely attentive server. A wonderful time and will definitely recommend!

The entire View experience was excellent. We went for a special occasion and were not disappointed. What a great way to see the city/area we love, and it must be great for visitors to Boston. The food at The Beacon was on point. Everyone was very pleasant and attentive. We would definitely go again.

Food was delicious. Drinks were excellent. Restaurant was very quiet. Staff was friendly and attentive. We got a table with window view north of the city but right next to the bar. All window seats facing east towards the airport with the better view were open. Would have rather sat there. Would like to come back at night time.

we had the best day!!! it was a birthday present for my son that wanted to go to the top of the hub when he graduated from suffolk but it was closed for the remodel! we celebrated his 27th on the 27th..the day picture perfect ..the staff friendly and the lunch package was great...drinks included!! it has been beautifully redone and the display leaving amazing!!

The Beacon Hill as excellent. Amazing service, food and the view were all amazing. The charcuterie board was a great way to start off the evening. We had the short ribs and the chicken. Both were delicious. Wine selection was good. We skipped dessert, but need to add a chocolate item to the dessert menu.
Our bartender was the best part of the experience. I wish I could remember his name. Male, beard, loads of personality and wit, not to mention a great drink. Chadwick???? Shandwik? Goodness, so sorry for slaughtering his name. Fries were very good, panini chicken sandwich was lacking in taste, fig and prosciutto flat bread was delicious but need a bit more topping.
When purchased the packet was charged 18% autogratuity after the final bill came for desert wich was $13 on the bottom it was sugesting 20% Gratuity for the whole experience after been autograted on the first part of the bill

spectacular restaurant in the heights, an ideal place for a lunch or dinner as a couple observing the views of Boston, instead of going up and paying for the viewpoint, you can make a reservation at this restaurant and you can go up and have dinner for the same price...excellent food , the atmosphere and decoration are very good and the staff is attentive...even if you make the reservation and pay for the dinner in advance, don't forget about the tip afterwards...

Going to this restaurant was a surprise for me from my significant other. But because it was Valentine’s Day, they had a different menu which contained nothing that was good. In my opinion. The selection of food, for the night was terrible again, as I stated, in my opinion, first of all, it felt like we were rushed, and everything felt like a cash grab because it was Valentine’s Day. We were not even finished not even halfway done with our appetizers when they brought out our entrées. When it is not a special occasion, I will come back and try their menu again, but what they had for a selection, which was only four choices of entrées. All of them were disgusting in my opinion a true letdown on a special occasion day for me again, anyone who is reading this this is my opinion this is not what I was looking forward to. This is not what I was expecting. I will come back again when it is not a special occasion just on a regular day and check out the regular menu, but what they have provided for a Valentine’s Day was atrocious.
Nice but nothing like the old top of the hub. Small and modern bar/bistro feel, and you have to buy a ticket or experience to the view Boston experience to go, which makes it feel gimmicky. View is nice if you're next to the window. Otherwise you're just in a regular restaurant in Boston.
We had a great experience with the spirit-free dining package we showed up an hour and 15 mins before our reservation and it was the perfect amount of time to see the views before dinner. Our server was great and the food was tasty!

Ambience is nice, however the could have been better (was given an attitude when told that we were on our way and would be running late due to unforeseen car issues) and our server came across as aloof but by the end of the night became a bit more friendly. Our food was served before our drinks and we were halfway done eating by the time we were served our drinks (meanwhile I saw the drinks ready at the bar for a few minutes before they were brought to us).
Really good experience the view itself is a beautiful experience.my wife was happy the bartenders where ok,some where way better than others. Thankfully the red coat manager attended me and my wife on a busy Saturday night at the bar while we waited for our table to eat making the experience that much more pleasant for my wife and I. The server for dinner was great and attentive thank you to that lady as well I wish I caught the names of both manager and server you guys are great!!

Our party had to purchase 4 tickets ($103.96 with the tax) before being able to ascend the elevator to our dinner reservation. We then had to wait 35 minutes to be seated for our confirmed reservation. The menu is pretty limited, the portions on the smaller side. The homemade guacamole was excellent (tho we had to ask for additional chips to help finish it off). The smash burger was OUTSTANDING tbh. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and very tasty. Not a fan of the accompanying fries as they were coated with some awful spice (Cajun maybe?). The music was annoyingly loud - techno beat/house music more appropriate for a club than a tourist-oriented restaurant. But you come here for the views above all else - which did not disappoint. Just beware that it is a pretty pricey venue to get a decent burger with a view.
