This was my 2nd time dining at this restaurant. I had recently proposed and the maitre d made sure we were sat at the large windows overlooking the Common. Everyone congratulated us and was served complimentary champagne as we sat. The decor really is very elegant. The restaurant has done a fine job of coming across as being classy and luxurious without being stuffy. The food was exceptional. High points to mention are the lobster bisque, beef loin and a great wine list. The highlight of the dinner was the Chocolate Soufflé. It was simply to die for. If you do one thing in your life before you die, you must try this! I have never tasted anything better. The staff was polite, courteous and made sure we had the best possible experience. I highly recommend dining here.

Pros: Chocolate Soufflé, Wine List, Ambience and Attention to Detail

Cons: none

This place is the best place for special occasion dining. My graduation dinner was here, and it was one of the most perfect experiences. We had to be moved to a sectioned off private room not part of the hotel, but the entire affair was catered by the restaurant (obviously). We had three bottles of complimentary champagne, a cheese and fruit tray, and five passed around hors d'ourves. Unbelieveable, all unpaid for. The room was better than anything in the restaurant, the view was spectacular, the windows were huge, there were comfy chairs and sofas, and it was all just beautiful. The food is impeccable. I picked the place because it was the highest rated restaurant in the city. Every reason for that. 11 people all loved their meal, and dessert. I really could go on all day. This place is decadent, spectacular, and makes me want to marry a rich man so I ccould eat there all the time. Go! Don't think, just go! You will love it.

Pros: I am in love with this restaurant.

Cons: Pricey. No doubt. But just go. You only live once.

We went to Aujord 'hui for our fifth wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time there. The service was perfect. I would rate the food only 9 out of 10 (we have eaten better french food elsewhere) but the service more than makes up for it. Do bear in mind that this is a formal place so if you are looking for some place more casual or laid-back, I would recommend going elsewhere.

Pros: Perfect service, Great ambience, Excellent food

Cons: Formal, pricey (what else would you expect from the Four Seasons?) although they do have a sub $ 50 wine list

This is an amazing restaurant, with very special service. My family has gone to Aujourd'hui for special occasions for over 15 years. If you have something special to celebrate, I highly recommend it. And definitely order a souffle for dessert - just remember to order it with your meal! Enjoy!

Pros: Amazing service, great food

The first time I visited Aujord'hui was to celebrate my anniversary. It was the most elegant dining experience ever! The walk up to the dining room on the grand staircase and past the elegant piano set the mood for the evening. The waitstaff was attentive and discreet at the same time. We felt like we were the only couple in the room. The view of the commons at night was special and the food was superb! The presentation was gorgeous and every bite was delicious. We tried the tasting menu that was outlined by the chef that night and the wine pairings were exceptional. Definitely a first-class experience. I know it was pricey but well worth it!

Pros: Ambience, Service

Cons: Price

I was there w/my wife for our anniversary. The food was very tasty and unique in a good way. It fits a 5 star restaurant. However, it's not just the food that makes it a great restaurant. It's the overall experience. There service was above everyone - from there effortless accomodation for my flower delivery to the non-intruding but attentive and detailed wait staff to their kind receptionist/host and friendly all around staff. The ambiance is very romantic. There's plenty of spaces between tables unlike any other Boston restaurants. If you can get over the hefty check, this is definitely one place that's worth trying.

Pros: Great dining experience

Cons: expensive to eat on a regular basis

I went there with my wife for our anniversary. Everything was absolutely perfect - great attentive service, wonderful food and great wine selection. Foie gras was absolutely perfect, best we've ever tried. Suffle (which needs to be ordered same time as the meal) was great. Atmosphere was very nice, and we were lucky to get a table next to the window, with the view on Boston Commons. Overall I would highly recommend this place for fine dining and special (romantic) events.

Pros: Atmosphere, food, wine

Cons: A bit pricey, but worth it

We went here for our 25th Anniversary. We have eaten at many of the top restaurants in Boston, and across the country and this is the BEST!. Everything from the moment we walked in to the moment we left was perfect. The only thing negative was it was quite pricey, however worth every penny. I hardly ever write positive or negative accounts on anything, however I felt it my obligation to pass this on to anyone looking for that very special EVENT (meal). I would highly the lobster bisque for starters and the grand manier creme brulee for the ending. The entrees we had were fantastic. The wait staff was superb, they knew exactly when to offer service. And for those cynics out there I am not the owner or an employee nor friends or relatives of anyone associated with this established. I am one pleasantly pleased former and future patron.

Pros: Food and service are impeccable

As other reviewers have mentioned, the experience of Aujourd'hui is top-notch. The food is the best around, from the amuse bouche, right on through to the dessert. We had an amazing appetizer: fois gras burger with truffle french fries -- out of this world. Our entrees were delectable as well. The staff is what truly stands out about the restaurant. In addition to the unpretentious friendliness of everyone we encountered, multiple staff members knew and used our names, and also knew that we were celebrating our 1st anniversary (they asked us when we made our reservation if we were celebrating an occasion), and "congratulations" abounded. We also had a great table next to the window overlooking the garden. Expensive, yes, but everything about the night was wonderful, and it was money well spent for our special occasion.

Pros: food, service

Cons: expensive (but worth it, really)
