Restaurants near John Hancock Tower

Valentines Pre-Fixed was absolutely outstanding. The Lobster Cavatelli is worth the price of admission alone. Our Server Jessica was outstanding - attentive, thoughtful, and considerate. My NY Strip was slightly undercooked from my Medium request, but the kitchen was undoubtedly earning their keep on a busy night. Would definitely return, and this is a great spot to celebrate Valentine’s.

Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.

I dont go to fancy restaurants as often as I should. It makes me nervous but it was for me and my wife’s Valentines dinner date I had planned a month in advance. We went there and everything was perfect. The servers were kind and helped us with what we needed. It was definitely a memory that will last a lifetime that I am thankful for. The food was all cooked perfectly and I couldnt find anything to complain about even if I tried.

We have heard about Contessa for well over a year and finally got there. It was worth the wait. Ride to the 17th floor of the Newbury and enter another world - one of tastefully sumptuous ambience with superb "welcome to Contessa" service and food to die for. The view is amazing, especially from the tables for two along the windows, but make no mistake, this is not a view restaurant. A little pricey, but fair value, and the food is so delicious that we were sorry when each course came to an end. Parking is a challenge (other than an expensive valet option) but in good weather, nearby garages are less than a 10 minute walk. Give it a try! We are sorry we waited so long to get here.

Amazing meal! We had great food and service. Highly recommend
