Riverbend Grille At The Newton Marriott

You could tell that the restaurant is understaffed. Which is fine. But servers getting upset on the floor because a table got sat in their section is not a good look. Steaks were overcooked. Not once did they ask how things were. 4 drinks 1 appetizer 2 entrees $186 with tip. High price for well below standard service.

Fabulous restaurant in a hotel. Even if I wasn't staying in the hotel, I would come back because the service, the food in the atmosphere was outstanding. Calamari was crunchy, fresh and delicious. The wings were cooked perfectly. The charcuterie board is the perfect size with a good amount of food. We all ordered burgers, and they were all cooked to the proper temperature and tasted delicious. The fries were crispy and crunchy and just the way fries are supposed to be. The portions are generous. The drinks are made by a professional bartender, who knows how to make cocktails the proper way. Overall, very top notch.

Food and service was excellent. Clam Chowder was some of the best I’ve had and others in our group commented the same. Great ambiance and view of the Charles.

The food and service was all fine when we ate there fir breakfast but we made a dinner reservation through OpenTable, and they wouldn't honor it. They said their kitchen was closed and wouldn't think of opening it back up. We luckily found a delivery service that brought us some delicious Chinese food or we would have gone hungry that night.

We went for a birthday dinner, the staff was very pleasant and attentive. Food was delicious Will definitely come again!
