My 1st experience at 28 Degrees will be my last.. Last weekend I had dinner with a couple of friends @ 28 Degrees, let me just start off by saying the portions are terrible and so aren't the prices and service. We finished our "so called" meals and had to order additional sides because we were still hungry!

Then we get the bill and tell the waitress to take the cash and put the remaining $68 of the bill on my credit card.

I check my bank acct. online later on in the week and they charged the entire $180 bill to my credit card AND the waitress took the cash we had given her TOO!

After numerous times of trying to call and getting the voicemail, I decided to go in and see the manager. I show him the receipts and my bank statement and he takes my number down and tells me he will call me.

He then proceeds to TEXT me (REAL PROFESSIONAL)

to tell me they will refund me in 2-3 business days.

NO SORRY FOR THE MISTAKE, NO EXPLANATION NOTHING.WHAT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!?

EVEN THE CHAIN RESTAURANTS WOULD CALL AND APOLOGIZE OR OFFER YOU A GIFT CARD IF THEY HAD OVERCHARGED YOUR CREDIT CARD BY $110.

They should spent less $ on their bathroom decor and more $ training staff and supposed management.

NEVER AGAIN!. Though I really like the room and the fact that it's a real lounge, I will never go back to this place. I went there twice, and the first time I liked the special drinks and bartender but thought the host had a bit of an attitude. The second time I went there, the host, this time I think he was one of the owner, had the biggest attitude I have ever encountered. Bigger than anyplace I've been in NYC, LA, Monte Carlo or Ibiza! He's a little older and has such a sense of entitlement. Wow. What happened to customer service?

Best night after a long day!. Five friends and I went to 28 Degrees to begin to unwind after a long day of Christmas shopping. This was the first time we have come, but certainly will not be our last! From the dollar oysters to the best looking caring staff! Great Job! The amazing cocktail list had us forgetting about the long lines at Copley. Thank you so much 28!

big flavor. Dropped in last Wednesday night for some of the dollar duxbury oysters and ended up staying for an amazing dinner. Their menu offered large and small portions which allowed us to taste many different dishes, that is the best way to eat in my opinion. we had tuna tartare, which was the best I've had in this small town of Boston! The cappicola pizza had a crispy thin crust, and the lobster sliders put B&G's to shame. The stand out dish was the braised short rib....ummmm...um so good. The crowd was diverse and the drinks were all about seasonal freshness. A must visit for all!

not just for the fabulous. The menu at 28 Degrees, which changes frequently, is reason enough to come to this stylish boite. Creative, highest quality ingredients, beautifully presented. The creative cocktails are another. But the best reason is the service, which is professional, prompt and of the highest caliber - a real rarity in a town where the service ethic is often seriously lacking. 28 has managed to attract a talented staff of professional service people who make you feel like the most important person in the room, even if you're wearing jeans and flip flops. Things can get pretty busy on a Friday or Saturday night, and for locals, the best nights are Tuesdays and Wednesdays. My husband and I aren't fabulous or famous, but we always feel well cared for when we come here.
