Editorial Review for The Stanhope Grille – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Leather seating and modern lighting fixtures match the hotel's trendy yet accessible atmosphere. The diverse menu provides guests with familiar American favorites (roast chicken, seared salmon, fluffy omelets) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The dining area extends into an open-air terrace that's popular with area workers and perfect for people watching.

STANHOPE GRILL Jurys Boston Hotel by, C. Paul Luongo Jurys Hotel opened four years ago at the former site of the Boston Police Headquarters in Back Bay at the corner of Stuart and Berkeley Streets. Stephen Johnston is the General Manager and has done a wonderful job running 223 superior and deluxe guest rooms plus two executive suites and an elaborate Presidential Suite. Young Bostonians are drawn to the CUFFS bar on the lower level, before entering the main dining room, The Stanhope Grill. I1 BARISTA is a bar-lounge on the main floor. The STANHOPE GRILL has prepared a new menu for the current season which includes specialties such as Braised Lamb Shank ($34), Tournedos of Beef Tenderloin ($30), Pan Seared Ahi Yellow Fin Tuna Steak ($31) and Fresh Herb Tagliatelle Pasta ($22). We began by sampling exotic two portion carafes of martinis from their “Most Wanted” list ($11), including a Green Monster named in honor of the Red Sox, as well as a Watermelon Martini. Our dining adventure commenced with an Amuse Bouche consisting of a pan seared scallop in a light Miso and PonZo glaze. Fresh Focaccia Bread with delicate herbs, olive oil and imported Irish butter, was a fabulous beginning to a lovely evening. We split an order of Tagliatelle Pasta, tossed with asparagus, olive oil poached tomatoes, kalamata olives and spinach that can be garnished with pecorino Romano cheese. It was the most delectable pasta dish I’ve had in a long time, exceeding the North End and yet prepared by an Irish Chef! ** To view the rest of the review please look at the C.

My best friend and I discovered this gem during Restaurant Week about three years ago, and have been hooked ever since. The service is, without question, the BEST I've had in any city and outshines all others in Boston. As noted in the other post, Greg is amazing and incredibly nice, as is the rest of the staff. They're the most professional, accomplished, and genuinely nice people I've ever come across! Not a hint of preciousness or snottiness that many Boston "fine restaurants" have. The Stanhope is so good that my husband and I held our wedding reception there last weekend, and it couldn't have been more perfect. If our spending over $10K on this place isn't a vote of confidence, I don't know what is! The warm ambiance, comfy seating, and warm glow from the kitchen made all of our guests rave! The room was full of laughter and joy, and the staff were always there before we even noticed we needed something. Again, it couldn't have been better, and I can't praise this place enough, and hence the title seeking a sixth star! If you want to throw an event that will absolutely be wonderous, THIS is the place. And, if you want a cozy, quiet romantic dinner, the Stanhope will ensure it exceeds your expectations. The food is wonderful, with large portions that are always perfectly cooked. The food isn't cheap, but the entire event and perfect service will be worth every cent you spend. And, last but not least, we had breakfast at Stanhope after our wedding and it was incredible. Tons of fresh fruit on the buffet, perfect steaks for my parents, and a great waffle for me. SO good!
Pros: Perfect service, great food, intimate setting
Cons: I haven't found a single one in the five meals I've had there!
