Thanksgiving brunch at this location is something we do for many years. After Covid it was not so good but we wanted to give them another chance. I am glad we did! My request for a window view sit was granted and our party of 5 loved the food choices at the buffet. In addition to the turkey we had short ribs , fish and pasta, salads , side dishes and option to choose 2 soups. Clam chowder was one of the best I had (other guests agreed with me). There were many types of cheeses and shrimps but I did not try them. I had to save room for the largest desert table I saw. They were amazing and we loved them all. Overall food was very good!!1 All the servers were kind and It was a wonderful experience even if the weather was rainy and gray.

In the past we have had Thanksgiving dinner at the Marriott and it was very good. This time I would say that it was just mediocre. The turkey and stuffing were just okay. The service was minimal. I was told that there would be a 20% gratuity added to the bill. They wrote it down as a "service Charge" and were still looking for an additional tip. I think that since service people new there was a 20% tip, they were not motivated to do an exceptional job. Will be looking for another place for next year's Thanksgiving. Sorry.

So pleasantly surprised. Food was extremely delicious and cooked perfectly. Ordered the mussels appetizer, sirloin tips and pulled pork sandwich. Cosmo was strong and for dessert the chocolate cake was amazing. Restaurant was very quiet for a Friday evening at 6pm. Wait staff very attentive.

I was really surprised at how good our food was at a casual hotel restaurant! The clam chowder rivals anywhere, which is a real statement in the Boston area, but it's true! Otherwise, we shared chicken wings which I thought were fine (but my guest called them out as better than Buffalo Wild Wings, for the record.) I don't know if I'd say Riverbend Grille is worth a special trip, but it's well worth consideration if you're passing through the area and certainly if you're staying at Marriott Boston Newton.

Where the Marriott used to have a dining room, diners are now crowded into a very noisy bar area. The menu, already very limited, had items on it, which were not available. Our server, though very pleasant and accommodating, must have been assigned more tables than he could handle because he was rarely seen and available. Sorry to see such a decline in a place where we used to enjoy dining.
