A solid hotel restaurant with average service and great food. Came in this past weekend for brunch. Once we arrived, we were told to wait for another 15 minutes as their kitchen was understaffed and overwhelmed with orders. We eventually got seated around the promised time, and thankfully, there weren’t any significant delays afterwards. We got the crab cake, Artbar burger, and the bananas foster French toast. Based on the reviews, I didn’t have high expectations for their food, but they were surprisingly good. I liked the crispy outer layer on the crab cake, and the arugula salad on the side was a great pair with the lightly seasoned crab meat inside. There weren’t any fresh veggie toppings on the burger, but it was still packed with umami flavors. We also enjoyed the Banana French toast. It wasn’t overly sweet, but the candied walnut toppings gave it a right amount of sugar boost. Overall, I was glad to find out that ArtBar exceeded my expectations. Prices were reasonable for the quality, and I would probably return if I can’t get a brunch reservation at other popular spots in the city.

Over priced subpar food. I was not impressed. I was in town for only one night and wanted to get one of Boston's famous lobster rolls. I originally wanted to go to one of the more popular spots like Luke's or Neptune's however it was raining so I decided to stay at the hotel and eat. It restaurant itself was noisy, crowded, and felt unwelcoming. The service was slow (but it was busy so I understand) and the food took a long time to come out. The lobster roll was so disappointing. It was small and overly chewy for $30. I would not recommend eating here.

Their patio seems to be nice . Was closed when we went . They have nice views of Boston from across the river . Can go for a little walk after dinner . The service is great and they validate for parking . All great except when it comes to the food unfortunately. Bland and tasteless for the most part. They either need a new chef or a new menu I don't know but what I do know is that I don't see myself coming back for the food that's for sure

Okay I wasnt expecting this place to be as amazing as it was. Everything was melt in your mouth amazing. Im a slow eater and usually burgers for me become dry when they sit (even at rare temp). My Lamb Burger stayed delicious and juicy till the last bite regardless of my eating speed. They Clam Chowder and Pumpkin Torte were also fantastic

The views of the city/river were non-existent at night due to the windows having a mirror effect. However, the food was delicious and well made. The service? Fabulous. I would definitely come back for the crab cakes and shrimp scallop.

I loved being here . The dinner was yummy and delicious. Had grilled fish,fries and a Diet pepsi.

Love the food and drink. I had the Salmon and Quinoa and thought it was amazing.! The view is beautiful along side the river. Perfect atmosphere and good service. Two Thumbs Up. Im here currently for my second time and it was yet again nothing short from amazing! This time i had the Peppered Steak, Hummus, and of course the Sticky Wings. My server was amazing. Ill be back again.

Awesome decor and this burger was bomb! Very beautiful outside seating. Perfect date night place! About average price for high end food but the drinks were on the $$ side.

Location + view: Amazing. Everything else: Not great. We had brunch, the lavender mimosa was so heavily chemical syrup that I couldn’t take more than a few sips. The avocado toast was a) not toasted and b) made with pre made avocado that soaked the bread.

Very nice atmosphere and staff. The lamb burger was delicious. I asked for an appetizer that they no longer had on the menu and they prepared it for me. Very professional.

Went here for brunch. It's a hotel bar inside Royale Sonesta. Good view of the Charles River to see Boston. About 3 TVs at the bar if you go and want to catch sports. Hopefully next time it will be warm enough that the outside dining will be available

Felt like a speed eating competition. Went here for Christmas Day. Within an hour we finished a three course meal. Soup was served first but had to be poured over behind the scenes from a Tupperware container into the serving bowls, soup was all over the edges of the bowl. Maincourse, the meat was cold. After sending it back it still wasn’t warm. Salmon was good, side dishes were very nice. Dessert was nice.

Our first time. Expect leisurely service. It was busy when we arrived. It seems only the servers understood the delays to the customers. There was only so much they could do. So we waited about 20 minutes for our drinks. We ordered the indigo cosmo and the bloody mary. We also ordered the Artbar burger and the lamb burger. Both were good not excellent. The fries were excellent. Yes I would try again - the eggs and home fries looked excellent.

Food was good. However if you are booking in the winter and reserve an igloo please note that there is a 20% charge automatically added to your tab for maintaining said igloo as well as an addition 20% service fee. For service that took too long and messed up orders two separate times, a 20% service fee was audacious. Would have had no issues had any of these charges been advertised instead of first seen in minuscule writing on the menu as we sat down.

Amazing food!! Duck sliders, hummus platter, and the seasoned chicken wings were perfect for our group dinner.
