I recently dined at the Paperback Tavern in Hyatt Regency Boston Cambridge and ordered the salmon, and I must say, it was absolutely delicious. The salmon was cooked to perfection, moist and flaky with a beautiful sear on the outside. The flavors were well balanced and complemented the fish perfectly.

Highly recommend the Grilled Salmon. I can’t speak for anything else but this was cooked to perfection. The service was very friendly. Lots of space available. Great views.

Great customer service, and spacious seating with large windows. However, the food is either bland or overly salty… for example, the overpriced avo toast had little flavor. But the bacon was salty and lox too fishy. If I didn’t have breakfast vouchers, I wouldn’t eat here again.

The experience started with a 45 minute wait for the hostess to seat our party of 3. She seated several other families that arrived later in front of us and would look at us and said.”Oops, let me seat these guys and I will be right back.” The next time she made it back someone new would be standing at the station to get on the list and she would immediately seat them prior to getting the waiting customers. Once seated, it took 30 minutes for the waitress to arrive to get drinks and our order. An HOUR went by before we saw our food!! And we had to ask a different waitress if she could find out what was going on because people that arrived well after we did had been served, eaten, paid, and departed; yet we have not gotten our meals. A couple minutes later miraculously the food arrived! No waitress. Two orders of pancakes, both cold and rubbery, the syrup had congealed, and our order of ham and eggs that was cold and rubbery due to sitting and waiting for so long. Still no waitress. We then had to ask a third waitress to find our waitress to get our bill, 10 minutes later. This is the worst dining experience that I have ever had and would not recommend eating here to my worst enemy!

generally, I try not to write bad reviews. But I just can’t understand why some people are rude to guests. I was a server for years, so I get it. I felt so uncomfortable with my server. I couldn’t hear her and had to ask her to repeat herself, and she got snippy with me. I then explained I wasn’t trying to be a pain. The server talked me out of what I originally ordered, saying it would take a really long time. Which, if something is on the menu it seems odd it would take so long?

For what it is (Hotel Restaurant at a Hyattt Regency), it has some good options. We stayed for multiple weeks and liked most dishes we had, sometimes they even have specials.

Breakfast was great. Food good and everyone super friendly. Dinner was not good, waitress was super rude when my Dad complained about the lobster smelling old. Go for breakfast, skip for dinner.

Very disappointing hotel bar. Food choices were limited and the burger I chose super underwhelming.

The food was not very good quality, salty onion rings and overpriced – 5 chicken wings ($18). Pros – Hostess had great customer service skills.
