Rose Town Kitchen & Bar

My husband and I celebrated our wedding reception at Canopy Downtown Boston’s restaurant, The Rose, and it was everything we could have dreamed of! The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect—the dancing space, open bar, and food were all incredible. The ambiance and space were truly one of a kind; there’s nothing like overlooking the Greenway and the North End of Boston. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Everyone was dazzled but the location, too! Chef Gary is phenomenal. We asked if he could make arancini as an appetizer—a nod to our first date—even though it wasn’t on the menu, and he made it happen. They were such a special and delicious touch. Carol, the wedding coordinator, was attentive from nearly a year out and made the entire planning process so smooth. When she was unavailable, Jamie stepped in seamlessly and always with a smile. And Remy greeted us cheerfully every time we stopped by to review details. This team MADE OUR DAY. Without them and there work it simply wouldn’t have been the fantastic and flawless day it was. The whole team truly leads with servant hearts, filling the day with joy and kindness. We can’t recommend The Rose at Canopy Downtown Boston enough for the most magical wedding celebration!

Honestly, I expected so much from this place between other reviews and the ambiance when you walk in. It was gorgeously decorated for the holidays, had cozy seating and lighting. We ordered calamari which was very good and a drink that was okay. However, when ordering, our waitress seemed surprised at what they had on their menu. We repeated ourselves multiple times and she had to come back and ask again. Our food came out and it was some of the worst food I have ever had. It had zero flavor and I think they left the past water in the dish. Even covering it in pepper, there was no fixing it. And we spent $150 to leave 80% of the food on the plate. Absolutely do not recommend wasting your time or money here.

We’ve had both dinner and breakfast multiple times at Rose Town Kitchen & Bar, and it’s been consistently excellent. The service is always warm, attentive, and professional—every visit has felt welcoming and relaxed. The dinner menu offers creative twists on classic dishes, and everything we’ve tried has been fresh and flavorful. Breakfast is equally enjoyable—great portions, quality ingredients, and served with care. The space itself is stylish yet cozy, perfect for both hotel guests and locals looking for a calm spot to enjoy a meal. Whether you’re starting your day or winding down your night, Rose Town is a hidden gem worth checking out. Highly recommend—especially if you’re staying at the Canopy Hilton or just exploring the North End!

My friends and I had brunch at Rose Town. The food was very good. I ordered the BLT w/ egg. We shared Sweet Chili glazed wings, which were amazing. The drinks were well made. There were three small errors made with the orders that were quickly rectified, so, I won’t complain. The server was very sweet and attentive. The restaurant is designed beautifully. Would definitely recommend ❤️

Decent avocado toast with a hint of spice for breakfast. Drip coffee was lukewarm and somewhat watered down. Table seating was full but the bar was open. Service was quick but they kept trying to give the plates to the wrong people. Ate here because I had a food credit with the hotel; there are better places for breakfast in the neighborhood.

As a local, this place is such a great addition — even being in the Canopy Hotel! The hotel is beautiful and this restaurant is delish. We come here on and off for meals and today was a great experience. Anna helped us decide what we wanted and was very hospitable and nice! We’re staying here for a few days so can’t wait to come back and experience more of the food and talk to the bartenders! 10/10 recommend!

I am a hotel guest and my experience was average. The food overall was not bad, but we ordered two well-done sirloin steaks and the meat was extremely tough. It was so hard that my mother ended up with gum pain from chewing it. The waitress was good at the beginning, but after leaving the check, she never returned. Dirty plates stayed on the table for over 15 minutes, and another staff member had to clear them. At breakfast, the coffee did not taste like coffee at all, and I did not appreciate being served bread already topped with butter without being asked about allergies or preferences. Overall, average service and very average food for what is expected
