Bokx 109

I ate here for New Years Eve. OMG the food, OMG. From the lobster pot pie teaser to the chocolate desserts.. everything is super well thought out here. Super good. The portions are the correct size so you won't need a doggie bag though.. and I do like enjoying leftovers later. One of my fave things in the world: cotton candy. And they have it. It's served with every dinner for dessert if you don't opt for one of their fancies. Such a chic, classy amazing place, it's a shame it's in Newton and not in Downtown Boston! I guess that's the price you pay for an affordable amazing gourmet dinner! Pros: Teasers, events Cons: none that i can see! more

I don't understand this place at all. First of all, the atmosphere is like Vegas meets Newton, but not in a good way. Don't get me wrong, I love Vegas and I don't mind Newton, but somehow the mixture is not right. We arrived at the restaurant around 7:10 on a Sunday night figuring it wouldn't be too booked and we wouldn't need a reservation. The place was not close to being half full and they told us we would have to wait 30 minutes. That was ok. After 40 minutes we were told we would have to wait another 25-30 minutes. We looked inside the place, still not even half full. When my friend complained and said we were leaving, the hostess said she could seat us immediately. I understand making thing seems difficult to get into may give a more exclusive feeling, but Sunday night in Newton when the place was obviously not full? Anyway, the food was ok - probably overpriced for the location. There is no one - unless you are a cougar on the prowl that I would recommend this place to. Pros: None that I can think of Cons: bad service, bad location, mediocre food more

What a great restaurant! Some of the best steaks we've had in Boston and anywhere for that matter. Steaks were cooked to perfection, great sides, great starters, wine, drinks. Service was perfect, professional but not stuffy on in your face. My water glass was never empty and they didn't leave finished plates on the table for too long after you eat like many places do. We ordered the shrimp app and the waiter told us (without our asking) that there were three pieces but they would happily add a 4th as we were a party of 4, how often does that happen!? This is worth trying regardless of where you are coming from, it's well worth the drive from downtown as it's better than most of the steakhouses there as well. Well worth trying! Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Service, Creativity, Drinks Cons: A little pricey, valet left our car outside in the snow instead of moving to the garage more

Just visited BOKX 109 this past weekend. Pros: atmosphere, free parking, valet parking, pool deck Cons: on the pricey side, but well worth it! more

I met my brother for dinner at the bar, and we had a great meal, although we only ate appetizers and salads. I had a beet and goat cheese salad which had several perfectly cooked beet slices and a warmed slice of goat cheese, followed by a baked bean and pork belly appetizer - very Bostonian! My brother had the wedge salad with bacon, blue cheese and nuts followed by the carpaccio appetizer. The carpaccio was the highlight - high quality olive oil and mild beef flavor. The selection of wines by the glass was interesting and diverse with varying price points. The bartender, ""Murph"", was friendly and accommodating, offering tastes of wine to see which we liked. Plus, the Red Sox were winning when we left! The regular menu is EXPENSIVE - right up with the highest Boston has to offer. Pros: Quality and flavor of food, variety of wine, service Cons: Regular menu was expensive more

While staying at the Hotel Indigo recently I deciced to visit the steakhouse located at the hotel. The ribeye I ordered was undercooked on the inside and charred on the outside, tasteless and dry. The horseradish sauce provided with the steak was also tasteless. When my waiter asked me how my steak was, I tried to be polite and say it was just okay. After that he ignored me completely until he brought the check. The prices are way too high. If you are looking for a great dining experience, stay away and go into Boston. Pros: Nice atmosphere Cons: Terrible food and service more

When paying top dollar there is very little room for error and teething problems cannot be excused. What could be a great vibe was a disgrace and left us sick at the stomache. Here's the issue list in no order: 1) cocktail menus yet to be printed; 2) service was ridiculously slow despite restaurant not being full; 3) key items on the menu not available (how difficult is it to make duck fat fries?); 4) $44 steaks came cold to the table; 5) management was blase about the mishaps and while offering free desserts did not follow-up; 6) nothing justifies the price point; and finally 7) phoned the management next day to discuss our disappointment as patrons; I am still waiting for them to return my call, perhaps typifying the type of service you can expect. Stay away from this place. Pros: Ambience Cons: Price, service, quality, value more
