I would just like to thank Mike's mom for such a positive recommendation (BostonFoodie919). Because of your review I went and asked for Mike specifically. I'm sure you are so proud of him and hang all of his art work growing up on your refrigerator.
The review was appropriate as the restaurant is great, good food, good staff, good atmosphere.
Pros: MIKE!

The Nine Zero is one of Boston's top boutique hotels. Located right next to the Boston Commons, the hotel (a Kimpden hotel), has some of the nicest rooms you'll find in the city. Definitely expensive, but worth the price if you can afford it.

The Oak Bar and the Oak Room is really upscale eating and drinking but it comes at a price. The wine list is extensive but the prices are out of control - a Heitz Cellar bottle was listed for around $120 and I bought the same bottle for around $40. The steak was really good although the chateaubriand took very long but it was well worth it. Wear a jacket, they will not turn you away but you will stand out if you do not.

This place was a good spot to start our evening of drinking and dancing. Cover was free since we got in before ten. The scorpion bowls were huge and the price wasn't too bad (like $15 or so). There were more than enough straws in the bowl to go around, too. They walked around with cheap shots and BBQ skewers for a buck. It started out pretty sparse, which was good for talking and enjoying the scorpion bowls - then the DJ got the night moving with some good dance songs and not too many bright lights. I would definitely consider returning.

The Omni Parker House hotel has been a Boston institution for centuries, yet the rooms have been recently updated to include modern amenities as well. The rooms are full of history and character with guests having a choice of decor upon reservation. Room 13 is said to be haunted by one of the former patrons.
The restaurant at the Omni Parker House is credited with serving the first Boston creme pie and patrons can still enjoy this treat today. Service here is impeccable and worth the higher price tag of your stay.

Celebrated Our Anniversary In The City This Time. Typically don't stay in town because of traffic and prices. A rainy day arrival met us with an outstanding Valet (Dave) who greeted us with an umbrella and took care of vehicle, luggage, etc. Front desk staff was thoroughly professional and met our every need. Harbor view room was great. Chef Concierge (Nathan Goff) made my wife and I feel like we were the only guests in the hotel. Nathan arranged a reservation and transportation (due to rain he offered the hotel car/driver) to a great North End Italian Rest. (Cantina Italiana) the first night. Nathan also assisted us with several other concerns/questions throughout our stay. Jose (chauffeur) offered his direct cell number and returned to pick us up after dinner. My wife said she felt like she had been treated like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman (Barney's service was great in that movie) mostly atrributable to Nathan. Pampered in the spa with a massage on our anniversary afternoon before dinner. Great Svc!! The food and service at the lobby dining room was perfect. Both of us are typically critical having spent many years in the tourism industry. We could find only great things to admire and remark about at this hotel. Close proximity to Aquarium, Quincy Mkt. Fan. Hall , etc. make this location very convenient for a nice weekend get-away. A great anniversary and we will certainly return for a repeat visit.
Pros: Chef Concierge and staff know how to AMAZE the guest.
Cons: Don't get to Boston often enough.

We had a terrific stay at the hotel. Valentines Day package was awesome. Rose petals on our bed and it was a romantic weekend. Just loved the hotel and can't say enough about our new room. Really comfortable bed and the views of the city were awesome. Room had windows from the floor to the ceiling and we didnt open them because it was cold but it just provided so much natural light and great views. Wife absolutely loved the Keurig coffee machines. We have one at home. It was a pleasant surprise because there was Kona coffee and tea delivered each day. A large high def TV must have been 40 inches and a dvd player was standard. Insane! Also liked the bathroom soaps and shampoos. Staff very friendly and the location could not be beat. The T is outside the front door and mall is right there. Cant wait to return. Oh and the room had a doorbell... first time seeing that.
Pros: New Rooms, Location, Staff, Restaurant
Cons: Can be a Bit Pricey

We just returned from a wonderful three-night stay at The Langham Hotel. The hotel is beautiful and offers all of the amenities that you would expect from a 5-star hotel - exceptionally comfortable, quiet, rooms, plush beds with lots of pillows, wonderful restaurant and bar, new health club/spa... yadah yadah yadah.
What really sets this hotel apart is the keen attention to service that we found throughout. At no point did we walk past an employee and not have them say Good Morning, Afternoon or acknowledge us in some pleasant way... . We booked our reservation with the hotel directly and mentioned that it was our anniversary. Upon arrival at the Reception Desk, the young lady who registered us wished us a Happy Anniversary and truly cared about making our stay perfect. She took time to find a nice room for us on the 7th floor that overlooked the park. It was not an upgrade (as the hotel was sold-out) but the fact that she took time to get us a nice room made us feel special. We made our dinner reservation with the Concierge several days before our arrival - the date and time were reconfirmed in the form of a message in our room. When we arrived at the restaurant (outside of the hotel) the reservation was in order and they too wished us a Happy Anniversary. At the end of dinner, we were treated to dessert and two glasses of champagne from The Langham. When we returned to our room later that evening, we found a nice bottle of wine and homemade petit fours.
This hotel made us feel extra special throughout our stay and we look forward to returning again next year!
