"They try to make it a steakhouse akin to Capitol Grille or Morton's but in reality it's still a hotel restaurant that smells like a conference, with cheap furniture and no class. Our waitress, Tiffany, was fantastic and saved the day for us. They were out of five things that we ordered, which tells me they're probably going out of business in the short term."

"Most people don't think of a restaurant at a hotel as a place to go when you're not staying there but believe me that is a terrible mistake to make! OTB has amazing food, a dedicated staff and great drinks. I have food allergies and the staff have gone out of their way to ensure my dining experiences are perfect. So far I have dined there twice this week and plan at least two more forays into their dining room. They can cater to parties large or small (I'm a party of one while last night they had a private party of 25 on the patio). If you are gluten sensitive, this is certainly a good place to dine as they have many menu options available (and it isn't a plain grilled chicken breast either)."

"Plenty of decent food available at our Mother's Day buffet. Good omelet station, cooking 4 at a time, so the wait wasn't very long. Only 2 waffle makers, which slowed things down a bit for those so inclined. Only complaint is we could have used more frequent stops by the orange juice server."

"Went for brunch on Mother's Day and the food was absolutely delicious! They made sure that the buffet was constantly stocked, and the made fresh to order omelets and Belgium waffles were amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant, although I have only tried the brunch I can only imagine how good their dinner menu would be, I will be returning their shortly to find out!"

"Think Olive Garden in a hotel setting. If a chain restaurant is your thing, you'll be happy here. The food is very processed and unimaginative. The interior was sad and dreary. When we first arrived and were seated the room had an industrial cleaning smell. Very unappealing. I knew we were in trouble when Muzak was playing in the dining room. Muzak?!! Really? I should say we did go for lunch and our party had 8. There was one other party of 2. Maybe the atmosphere is different for dinner...not possible. We did have two seasoned women waiting on us and they were excellent.Very nice and accommodating. There are so many excellent hotel restaurants around Boston. This just isn't one of them.If you are a foodie, run far and fast AWAY!"

"We went to On The Bone after reviewing the menu on their website. When we arrived their menu at the restaurant was nothing like the one on-line. When I mentioned this to the waiter he came back and said they only offer a limited menu at the restaurant.
We ordered filet mignon's and when they arrived they had no seasoning not even salt and pepper. The meat was tender but it didn't matter because it had no taste.
Very disappointing and we would not go back."

"Everything was great. The only critique I have is the ambiance didn't feel like it matched the restaurant. Its inside of the Wyndham hotel and decor felt more like a conference room than a restaurant. Lighting was too high for evening dinner. If they warned up the atmosphere they could have a phenomenal business. Foodies will go back only if the experience meets expectations. Great food. Great service."

"Food and service excellent!! Waitress Lori was very thoughtful, attentive and friendly. Maybe a special cup of coffee for my husband who is alllergic to caffeine in case "the decaf" got mixed up.She gave helpful sggestions when asked and was right there whenever we needed something. A very enjoyable experience!"
