Felt Boston

Less Than Hip. I purchased a dinner voucher (similar to Groupon) for Felt thinking it would fun to try the venue and I was intrigued by its offerings. I redeemed my voucher last evening and am sad I ever wasted the money.



First of all, there was no host to greet my boyfriend and I when we walked in. I finally managed to talk to the bartender on duty and said we had a reservation and promptly received a response of, "we don't take reservations". Once he talked with the manager, the bartender (acting and looking rather haggard), sat us and again had to go talk to the manager when I asked him about the voucher. Every time he came to the table, it was obvious he was not a server and kept telling us that he was the only one working. My boyfriend quipped, "Well, I hope the cook knows what he's doing" and the bartender replied, "So do I".



The bartender did not know basic things like what the soup of the day was, couldn't make a recommendation on the menu, didn't ask my boyfriend how he wanted his steak prepared, didn't clear appetizer plates before serving entree, etc. When he brought out the entrees, because he hadn't cleared the appetizer dishes, he put our meals at a nearby booth and said, "Just sit over here, there's more room". The booth seat cushions were disgusting and soiled from previous customers. You could see every spot/stain. It turns out that the bartender wasn't even a bartender, but rather a bar back who was responsible for attending to the entire first floor.



Needless to say, this was not the "hip" night out that the voucher advertised.…

DO NOT OPEN A BAR TAB. Female bartenders are the worst. Especially at this place. I realize that girls with fake boobs and blonde hair may attract men to spend money at the bar. But something must be said about the level of service being so poor at Felt. I opened a tab and ordered a total of 5 beers. When asked to close out my tab. The bartender gave me the incorrect credit card. This made me nervous. After fumbling around through other credit cards she finally locates mine. She brings me the bill and I notice that a Grey Goose and Red Bull charge was added to my bill. I explained to her that I did not order those items and the bill needs to be adjusted. She began to argue with me saying that I did order the drinks. Im not going to pay for something I did not order. It was obvious that she was confused from the start and did not want to take responsibility for her error. I asked to see a manager in which no one ever introduced themselves as a manager. The bartender them dropped off a bill that had those items removed from the bill. I then signed the bill with a $0.00 amount tip. I normally tip 20% but in this case I chose not to tip anything. Two days later I notice that my online credit card statement has as additional $20.00 charge. I'm pissed at this point. Trying to contact the business offices during the day is virtually impossible. Im being told different excuses as to why there's an additional $20 charge. Dont believe them when they'll say that someone will call you back. It never happens. Bottom line if you ever go to Felt DO NOT OPEN A BAR Tab. Pay in cash. This way you wont get overcharged for something you did not order.…

Good lord what a party!. I was up in Boston (from NYC) for the weekend a couple of weeks ago and went to Felt that Friday night. There was some huge party going on and I couldn't resist! I had to wait a little while outside to get in, but once I did I had a great time! The place was packed but people were dancing, drinking and the music was great. Four floors, people! Wow! I met some great people and had a wonderful time. The ONLY reason I give four stars instead of five is because the place was so popular that night that they started closing off floors to people. I left the fourth floor for a minute and when I went to go back up, they said I couldn't because of fire code. Oh well.

I don't know about a regular night, but on that evening, I loved this place.…
