Hmm, this is a tough review as there are many things going for Contessa and my expectations were set fairly high. We dined here with friends to celebrate my wife's birthday. Getting a reservation is ridiculously hard. You will need to set a calendar reminder to look for a spot 30 days before you want to dine and try to secure one at the moment the reservations open that day. Then you will likely only be offered a 5:30 or 5:45 slot, or something very late. I presume most tables are reserved for their hotel guests. Despite comments to the contrary, we were greeted by very friendly staff who assured us we would have one of their best tables, and they did not disappoint. They wished us a good time celebrating my wifes birthday. The views from the dining room are fantastic, and while it was a brutally cold Boston night, we were very comfortable with heat radiating from above and aside the windows. Our server was also very nice, but there were a number of small missteps which I would not expect when dining at this price point. Let me say there is a reason that there are no prices posted on their website! Cocktails start at $22 and you can even find an entree for over $200. The wine list is stratospheric. SO, yes at that point expectations are high and while our server was good, the delivery was not there. My wife had to ask three times for a beverage. Our side of vegetable never arrived, nor was anybody around to check on that. Coffee came well after all our desserts were delivered and consumed. At the end of the meal, we mentioned the missing vegetables and our waitress said "she would remove that charge for us". I sure hope so, for something that never arrived! How about the food? Good, some very good, but nothing exceptional. The meatball appetizers were a delight, but the tempura fried calamari was hard , overcooked and rubbery. A real let down. Whipped Ricotta spread was very good. My entree of gnudi were light and feathery, but I think some might find the dish overly sweet. One of our dinner guests ordered the veal which he said was just OK. So, again a difficult review. We experienced very friendly and welcoming staff, but with some missteps, the room is beautiful but the food is not exceptional. The price point sets expectations that are simply not met. With some more attention to detail, I think Contessa could be a fine restaurant.
