    The cherry on the top of our stay at the Boxer Hotel was having Bullfinch Social in the lobby! On our one night stay, we had dinner there: started with fried pickles and chilled cocktails. Then I was loving my fish and chips while my vegetarian husband was loving their meal-size falafel salad and side of Brussels sprouts. Were glad to see they opened the next morning at 6:30 as we had a business appointment. Yummy breakfast! Both evening and morning servers were professional, eager to help and suggest, followed up with us, and were terrific. Great place!

    Forgot the shrimp on the salad. Cosmo was not mixed right - no Tito's, no St. Germain sent it back. No lime with the gin and tonic, When we were presented the bill we were told the credit card system was not working so had to pay cash. Won't go back.

    The service was abysmal. From the moment we walked in. We were ignored by staff, including the hostess who was also our waitress. Never asked if we wanted water and the glasses sat on the table throughout our meal. The food was great but the drinks were terrible. Very disappointed.

    Unfortunately, the restaurant looked and seemed understaffed. We had an early reservation in which we swapped sitting at a table to enjoy dinner at the bar. We received our drinks and our meal and were never checked on again. We finally were able to flag down to order another round but after taking an additional 15 minutes, we opted for the check and paid our bill and left.

    Made a reservation for drinks and food. When getting to restaurant they told me that they were not able to do food because they were short staffed. Heads up would’ve been nice when making the reservation days in advance

The place was cold so was sat in coat. The cutlery is terrible quality was not as strong as the plastic disposable ones you get. Over all wouldnt recommend this place

    We had a post-basketball game dinner reservation through OpenTable for 8:45. We hurried through crowds around Garden, to arrive and be informed that due to an emergency in the kitchen, the restaurant was closed. It would have been appreciated if either OpenTable or Bullfinch messaged us beforehand so that we could have made other plans.

    Disorganized and slow. It is hard to know where you are supposed to go when you walk in the door because there is no hostess station. The food was decent, although my husband said his mashed potatoes tasted like Hungry Jack out of the box!😂 Won’t go again.
