FOOD POlSONlNG!!!!!

by DirtyMartiniGirl at Citysearch

The first time I went there, I had a good experience. Good drinks and a nice atmosphere, but very slow service.

The second time, was not so great. My sister and I got food p0isoning that lasted over a week (throwing up, dlarrhea, & abdominal pains that put me in tears). This is not what I expected from my $100 bill. Definitely stay away from the food (it was only average anyways). We narrowed it down to the lettuce. They probably didn't wash their hands after bathroom use.

The service was again slow and there was only one other table besides us. There are much better hotel bars in Boston. I won't be going back to this one.

• Pros: Drinks, ambiance
• Cons: Food p0isoning, slow service

Great place to end the night.

I like Noir primarily as a great bar to end an evening of bar-hopping or after a late dinner. Their drinks are consistently good and the staff has always been courteous if not outright chipper. It's a lot more than I would have ever expected from a place that's sort of a hotel bar.

• Pros: Good drinks!
• Cons: They have a broken projection screen that they show "the game" on sometimes.

Best romantic bar? I don't think so.

by JBomms at Citysearch

I specifically chose this lounge because it was supposedly very romantic. Not so much. We walked in at probably 10:30 on a Saturday night. It was full of college students and the music was blaring. The place was tiny. I don't know. Everyone I was with was in disbelief that Noir was voted best anything. I didn't try their food because we had just eaten but they did have a very original and extensive (and expensive) drink menu. It just wasn't the atmosphere I was expecting or looking for. Don't go there if you're looking for romance.

• Pros: yummy and original drinks
• Cons: too small, too loud, not romantic, $12 drinks
