    Their brunch was really great. Got the pork belly stuffed hash brown and eggplant caprese sandwich and both were to die for. Also create your own Bloody Mary

    A slightly upscale brunch place right on Newbury St. There is a menu just for their Bloody Mary which can even be topped with a mini cheeseburger! Highly recommend!

    I'm usually a fan of the splitty-split, but if you're here for brunch w/ 3 peeps, I'd go splitty-split-split: Captain Crunch french toast + hash brown egg thing + breakfast burrito.

    Great location for people-watching. Good food but be prepared to wait as the kitchen is very slow. My brother loved the pork stuffed hash so much that he wants to figure out how to make it himself.

    The best menu item I've found there recently is the Tokyo burger which is prime beef, meunster cheese, pickled red onion, sprouts and wasabi mayonnaise. Replace the regular fries with truffle fries!

    Classic American food... French fries were on point, as well as other food - decently large portions for brunch and the drinks were solid too!!!

    Really good place to hang out. It's a little bit expensive but it worth it. Also the meals are really big, so you can share them.

    The menu changes from time to time but this is always a reliable pick in Back Bay. The chicken parm will feed you for a week!

    Delivers thru Caviar. Great burger. Great steak tips. Chicken parm is like a pizza. Worth seeing. Not best chicken parm ever.

    The pork hash for brunch is delicious. If they don't serve it up quickly though, the crispy texture turns soggy, which is kind of a bummer.

    Go with the ham and cheese sandwich (you actually get two mini sandwiches) which comes with a side salad but substitute the parmesan-truffle fries for the chips. Delish I promise.

    The bloody Mary is served with a hot sauce and I'm a so you can customize the heat.

    Get the nachos - they are super delicious! Burgers are so-so (overcooked :/) The decoration is quiet blend though.

    The only thing that was decent was their truffle fries. They managed to burn macaroni and cheese, forgot to bring condiments, and we had to flag our waitress down just to get the check.

    Not the same as the Met Bar and Grill or Met Burger Bar in Natick. Menu is limited and not impressive. Though the wait staff is great and there is a great drink menu, I wouldn't recommend it.

    Is it just me, or are the servers kind of rude EVERY TIME. I don't think I've ever encountered a pleasant server at Met Bar and I've been enough times for it not to be an unlucky coincidence.

    The eggplant caprese for brunch- a-maz-ing. With a side of biscuits. No calorie counting here!

    While the food is usually very good, the service is slow and disorganized. Refills for drinks took a long time and they brought out the appetizer with the main course. Somewhat frustrating

    Very nice burgers. Messy however. The decor is nicely balanced and for a Newbury establishment not bad at all.

    Forget the truffle fries - hit up the bar and get an Old Fashioned or Sazerac.

    Great location but service was abominable and food was mediocre. Tourist trap but with nice outside seating order something simple or just drinks if u must...
