Bara CoolJuly 26, 2018This was an amazingly delicious, beautiful and memorable first meal here; the chefs whim was the right way to go but am left to daydream about the A La Carte menu!
- Lori LuoAugust 11, 2014A four-course prix-fixe and chef's tasting menu are the only options available at Boston's only Relais & Chateaux restaurant. Come for a special occasion and be prepared to be pampered.
Kevin MAugust 9, 2014chefs tasting menu is the way to go, be prepared to spend $$$$ but it is well worth it, every one of the 8 courses + the 6-7 random interludes made this one of the best meals I've ever had
Rebecca MNovember 8, 2017All things being equal, it is very good. For a Relais & Chateau, however, the service was fussy, the food was hit and miss, but the cocktails/wine were excellent. Glad I chose a la carte.
TNCMay 13, 2017I was there for a function and the multiple courses were great, delicate delicious appetizers perfectly cooked filet (salad was wilted overdressed and uninspired nobody's perfect)
EaterJanuary 7, 2014Menton is Barbara Lynch's crown jewel. After Kristen Kish, chef de cuisine at Lynch's demo kitchen Stir, won Top Chef, she was swiftly promoted to chef de cuisine at Menton. [Eater 38 Member]- Jeremy CSeptember 1, 2014The meal and service were excellent and deliver a worthy fine dining experience. Perhaps the best part was the mini bites in between courses and cheese cart before dessert.
Kim PhamMay 27, 2016Get the elements tasting menu. Stunning food in a low-key atmosphere. Nearly Michelin worthy!
Zuza KrzyzstofskaFebruary 7, 2015Really great place - very nice staff, great, no, not just great - excellent food, one of the best places in Boston.
- Tiffany LopinskyMay 31, 2016I recommend stopping in at Menton's Gold Bar for a snack and a drink - get the foie gras frankfurter!
Stephanie HJanuary 8, 2013They'll customize the tasting menu (same course, multiple interpretations for table) - unparalleled service, fantastic cocktails (or go to Drink next door!), creative dishes. Truly top notch.
Erik KlingmanSeptember 14, 2016One of the best fine dining spots in all of Boston, absolutely loved it.- Zuza KrzyzstofskaMarch 9, 2015Food is good, but before ordering an additional cheese plate - make sure that the have the cheese you're interested in (they ran out of blue this weekend:( )
Joyce LFebruary 9, 2014Unparalleled dining experience; from their hospitality to the sharing of wine knowledge and of course the decadent food tastings.
Gilt CityAugust 5, 2011Since its inception, Menton has joined the ranks of Boston’s greatest dining destinations with its glamorous, exquisite contemporary French cuisine, deep wine list and excellent service.
Nick RoulleauJuly 31, 2015Explore with the tasting menu. Try the Vieux Carre from the bar while you wait.
Man MaraApril 28, 2012Its a special place! Service and food- both excellent! You get what you pay for. You'll be happy to hand them your wallet.
Boston MagazineNovember 11, 2011What hasn’t already been said about the highest of high-end Boston restaurants? Just go. Go for the experience of being waited on hand, foot, and glass. Read more
Karen SpragueFebruary 23, 2014Had a fabulous evening at the chef's table......great place for a special celebration.
Pete Karl IIDecember 2, 2013It was glorious. I would not recommend eating at 3pm for a 5pm reservation and then ordering the tasting menu with wine pairings.
- Bob NewbieMay 13, 2021With a price tag of $750 for 2, Menton sets a high bar. Unfortunately, it spectacularly fails across every possible dimension. I would not recommend Menton to any fine dining connoisseur.
Boston.comJuly 23, 2010The food at Menton is not night-and-day different from that at Lynch's No. 9 Park - it is more refined, lovelier and lighter, turned a few degrees more toward the sea. Read more
Justin IdeMarch 31, 2010Make sure if you are heading to Menton to stop at Drink downstairs for a drink before the best meal in Boston.
- CasimirJuly 2, 2022Quite the disappointment unfortunately. Got the chef’s tasting menu but it was not worth the price.

"After a short wait in the entryway hall, we were lead to a standing area in the bar. The head mixologist asked our flavor profiles, and made unique drinks based off our requests. Excellent spot!"

"Good place for a late night dessert; the Chai Custard is excellent!"
Aaron McIver- 7.9
"If Moscow Mules and Prohibition-style locales are your thing, Lucky's offers some of the best - pub fare, classic drinks (the Moscow Mule is served in a copper mug) and Sinatra brunch on weekends."
