Im quite curious as to why the Westin decided to have a "Burger Bistro" as their main restaurant, which seems to conflict a bit with their glimmering blue glass hotel landmark visible from 128. My company loves using the hotel ballrooms for meetings and firm wide trainings since parking is free and its a relatively more accessible location than crowding everyone into Boston. Maybe they are going for the gourmet burger image like a Five Napkin? Anyway I wasnt in the mood for a burger while eating with some co-workers so I just ordered a side salad and their chili. My colleagues ordered the largest looking burger and a veggie burger. They looked tasty enough and the fries looked normal. I feel like Ive been on such a burger kick lately that its difficult to impress me with my new gold standard (Black Iron Burger). The server seemed a bit confused at some of our questions but he placed the orders in. We sat near the windows and quite honestly they are super drafty! I felt a chill the entire time from the lack of insulation. We had a great view of the I-95 afternoon traffic. During lunch on a Thursday there were only a few tables occupied. I cant imagine anyone ever coming here specifically for the restaurant. Its more a convenience factor if you are already here. The chili helped warm me up from the polar vortex chill and the salad was just a plain side to fulfill my nutritional needs.

We had a reservation for Mothers Day brunch for 14. We confirmed the reservation in advance. When we got there, nothing was set up and everyone working there seemed utterly confused about where we were sitting. They then tried to put us all at a table that could barely fit 10. We complained and they eventually put a couple tables together. When we actually sat for food, they didnt bring any water, coffee, etc. We had to ask several times. Then, when the bill came, they overcharged us. Then, the revised bill had an 18% gratuity applied (which was not on the original bill). I get adding gratuity for large parties, but 18% for a brunch buffet where you serve yourself? That takes guts Relish Burger! Then they took 15+ minutes to run our credit card. It was not even that busy, but it was utter chaos in there. Were definitely going somewhere else for brunch next time! And its the shame, the food was actually pretty good!!

Does a nice job of providing a gastropub experience without pretention. My burger was good, the relish signature, but the fries were limp. Its also missing the obligatory local craft brews on tap. If you are in the area, its a pretty good choice. It could definitely improve though.

I had a signature burger recommended by my server. The bun has fallen apart as soon as I raised the burger for the first time. I didnt like that burger at all. The wine was good and the server was pleasant, hence 2 stars instead of 1

I got a delicious bison burger here. Cant beat the size or taste and will fill you up past dinner! Its pricey though, in the hotel lobby.
