    Excellent pre-theater dinner option. Food was great. Green salad was simple, fresh and delicious with a nice mix of greens and fresh dill. Mushroom ravioli and steak frites each held their own and were quite satisfying. From the hostess to the server and others, staff members were extraordinarily kind and attentive - a credit to any restaurant but particularly to a restaurant sited in a hotel.

    What a nice surprise. When looking for a casual bite to eat before going to the theater in Boston, I highly recommend Nash. We ordered the Nashville hot chicken sliders and a side of potato wedges and they were delicious. Prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly.

    We had a wonderful dinner last night. The entire experience was excellent — from the warm, inviting ambiance to the friendly, attentive service. Our waitress offered thoughtful recommendations that truly hit the mark. The food was outstanding. The Maine oysters were some of the best we’ve ever had — fresh, briny, and beautifully presented. The venison was the favorite of the night — perfectly cooked, with rich, balanced flavors. And to top it all off, when my daughter accidentally left her purse, they called us before we even reached the car — just five minutes away. A fantastic night all around!
