Brinkleys Restaurant & Pub

It's a good solid hotel restaurant. Probably not a place I would go to if I weren't in the hotel, but perfect as a hotel restaurant - a simple, well rounded menu that can serve anyone with quality food. I've been several times while traveling and the food is always good and the service great - friendly and pleasant staff who are happy to help.

We stayed at the Marriott for one night on our way from Kennebunkport to Ft. Lauderdale, and had a fast dinner at Brinklye's. We had a fish sandwich, fish & chips, one beer and a ginger ale. Both dishes were very good, the portions were too large for us so we couldn't finish them. Service was fast, cheerful, and pleasant. Our waitress name was Denise. If we go back to Boston and need to saty at the Marriott for a night again, we will go back to Brinklye's.

I had the fish and chips and it was very tasty and the portion was large. The atmosphere was fun and there was a good crowd sitting at the bar all having a good time. Large TV’s also scattered around the restaurant/lounge area was a good touch. Only negative part was that it took 15 minutes to have my waitress come take my drink order and bring water, but in her defense she was running all around the restaurant and taking care of way too many tables for one person. Once the drink and food orders were in the service was very quick. I’d come back here for dinner next time I’m staying at this hotel!

Maybe 5 stars for atmosphere is overly praising what is in many ways a standard hotel bar restaurant and perhaps we were too eager for food and drink but the service was rushed but efficient, the decor bland but comfortable, the food tasty and uninspired: in other words much better than expected and we had a good time.

First time in Boston, only stayed 1 night. We were seated promptly. Our waitress attention to detail was on point as she noticed even before we did that we were sat at a "dirty" table. A quick wipe and our order was taken and came out in a timely manner. New to local favorites we tried the lobster roll. Not my cup of tea, but it was flavorful and I would recommend it to lobster lovers. 4 star for no other reason than the food. Good food, our palettes just weren't feeling it.
