The rooftop bar/restaurant inside the Cambria hotel. My friends and I came on a Sunday around noon for drinks. The view is nice on one side of the roof deck, by the bar. So if you're trying to book a table with a nice view during the day, ask to sit on the side the bar is on. Lots of tables and couch seating available. I did see a fireplace in the wall above a big outdoor couch, so I bet that is nice to book at night
. In regards to the food/service - drinks were okay, service was somewhat slow and the venue was not busy at all that day. I got the pineapple daiquiri and thought it was surprisingly tart/bitter. So for my 2nd drink I got the coconut daquiri instead, which was sweeter.
In regards to food, I was pretty disappointed. As someone with celiac disease who has to eat gluten free, when I viewed their rooftop food menu online there was nothing marked gluten free and most of the items seemed to be made with wheat. So that is why my friends and I planned to just go for drinks. After 2 rounds of drinks we did get hungry so we asked the waitress what I could get gluten free and she said I could only have the salads. For a hotel restaurant to only offer people with a gluten dietary restriction a salad is pretty ridiculous. Any doctor or nutritionist who diagnoses someone with celiac will always tell them if they're not sure where is safe to eat when traveling, that hotel restaurants should always be a good option as you're supposed to specialize in providing meals for all types of food restrictions as a hotel. I asked the waitress if it was possible to just get an eggs Benedict on a slice of tomato instead of bread. She spoke to the kitchen and they said they could do that, but when I got the food it was just really disappointing. There was no hollandaise sauce on it at all, and they gave me like 4 hashbrown cubes. It was legit just egg on a tomato.
All in all, there are better rooftop views in Boston, but I did like how spacious the roof deck was. The frozen drinks aren't really worth it. And if you're gluten free, don't expect to eat well here.
