I stopped in to Great Bay the other night after a frantic day of shopping, wrapping, arrangements -- ugh! I thought I just wanted to be left alone and have my cousin come join me in the lounge for a drink. My server however was very pleasant -- engaging without being overbearing. By the time my cousin had arrived I had decided this was where I wanted us to eat dinner and we had a fantastic meal! The lobster potstickers were a stand-out, as was their sake selection. But the best part about it were the real people who were waiting on us -- a manager helped serve some food, large guy with a squarish head, and a hostess and bartender with a red beard also figured in there. These people allowed me to relax -- a mighty feat! I'll be back!

Pros: Humanity, cuisine, convenience

Cons: none apparent

Insider Tips

Parking

Kenmore Square parking is a nightmare, especially when the Sox are playing down the street. If there's a game, head to the hotel and use the $14 valet.
