    Two of us last night. Been here a number of times over the years. It’s always been good, 4 star rating, but last night was excellent. The service was spot on! Friendly, knowledgeable and right there when needed. Entrees, cocktails, desert and coffee was delicious.

    Hemenway's has just reopened after a "refresh" of the interior. The food as always was lovely and the service knowledgeable and attentive. This is a perfect place for a business lunch.

    We have been to Hemenway’s multiple times over the past few years, and our experience has always been very positive. The food is terrific, the presentation artistic, and the service is excellent. The new renovation is fabulous! We will be back!

    Get the lobster tortellini, it was amazing. We also tried the paella, the wedge salad, and the crème brûlée, all equally as amazing! The service was impeccable, everyone from our server to the people working at the raw bar we sat at were so friendly. We will be back next time we’re in town!
