Amuse Restaurant

No complaints from me. I say at the bar and ordered from the restaurant. The New England Clam Chowder was delicious. I loved it. I also ordered the cheeseburger. It was cooked to my liking and the fries were spot on. I really enjoyed this too.They had some drink specials and I got the Halloween martini. It was well done. Really good. Really really good food. I would definitely order everything I got tonight again.

I ate two meals here today as I was staying in the hotel. The first was lunch. I was the only patron and had excellent service :). I had the lobster roll with a side salad. Both were delicious but the lobster roll was definitely more roll than lobster. The side salad was quite lovely. For dinner I had two glasses of wine at the same price and very different pours. Hats off to bartender number two - Martin. I ordered the roasted chicken which took a bit of time. When it came out it was probably a bit over on the outside but super juicy, if not pretty small, on the inside. Unfortunately the chicken was covered in marinated mint. I do NOT like mint and that was not on the menu. Martin took it off the menu and I was very appreciative of that customer service. Pleasant atmosphere and nice patrons.

We waited over an hour for our breakfast and the food came out rubbery and small (especially for the price). I'm pretty sure they forgot our order! The fruit was sour and our eggs were not done correctly. No one in their right mind would charge $9 for a sour, tiny fruit bowl. There were three tables who were seated after us that got their orders first. A very shameful hotel restaurant!

Amuse is in the lobby of Le Meridian Hotel; there's a separate restaurant that was closed on Sunday night, but the lobby/bar area will accommodate patrons for beverages and food.We shared 3 appetizer sized plates and had a couple of adult beverages. I had a maple bourbon old fashioned and my companion had a white russian. Strong, solid drinks. The food was OK; the best of the three dishes was definitely the burrata with pumpkin puree. Sweet and creamy. Wings were really disappointing - these were just battered and fried with a drizzle of honey mustard dressing. They were served hot, but as far as flavor goes, fell flat.The crab cake smelled rather fishy upon delivery, but was not greasy and tasted ok. The accompanying salad was the best part of the crab cake dish.Each of the items (drinks and food) were $14 or $15...so it was quite expensive for a mediocre meal. The drinks were the best part and worth the higher dollar amount.

Amuse is the restaurant located inside the le meridian hotel near MITThe bar on this particular evening had a number of local people meeting there after work which is always a good signThe bartender seem to know half the crowd and by the end of the evening knew the other half as wellI have a chance to eat there two different nights and enjoy the salmon one time in the sea valley another which was a combination of scallops and porkThe service was great on both occasions in the kitchen timing was as you would expectI will definitely be back

I am so amazed by chef Graeham and his creativity. The new menu now in place speaks so beautifully to the summer season in Boston! The gorgeous grilled peach salad & strawberry burrata are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Every entree is playful and bright, and Chef is genuinely engaging if you'd like to speak with him while dining. I can see Chef Graeham at the healm of a true "hidden gem" in Cambridge with his menu full of love - now a must try in Central Square!

Breakfast on a Sunday at 9.30am. I think many people wait and go to brunch around this place (they have fantastic brunch places in this area). The place is inside Le méridien hotel. Nice set up ( pics added to the review)I got the "amuse breakfast" for 18$: it includes 2 eggs any style with toasts, lyonnaise potatoes and tea or coffee. I shared some pictures if interested.Since they were out of chicken sausage they gave me fruits instead which i appreciated because it was small plate of fruits and not just 2 hanging fruits on the side of the omelet.I also ordered a yogurt with granola on it, which ended up flat and expensive for what it had. It had very fee berries and it costs 9$. Pricey for what you get.When the check came, they made a mistake and charged me initially 12$ for the yogurt with granola, but correctes it after i asked.Overall, i had a good experience but i think it's a bit pricey.

Good food but weird service.As guests in Le Meridien, we opted for dinner in the lobby restaurant our first night, too tired to make decisions. We were surprised to find the restaurant door locked, and wandered toward the lobby bar to ask. A nearby waiter (?) told us it was closed for an event (we had seen the lobby full of wedding guests when we checked in), but we could order the menu items from the lobby lounge. Sounded good to us, and we took a seat at a comfy little table in the modern, spacious lobby bar, mostly deserted at 7pm. That first waiter pretty much drifted away after bringing us water, and we saw him standing elsewhere in the lobby watching a big TV for most of our visit. Good news, though, the bartender, Mike, came out and took good care of us thereafter. I got a well-earned Sam Adams draft, we got some tasty warm rolls, and we ordered a kale salad and duck and salmon entrees.The salad came out already split, and with plenty for each of us. It was well constructed and satisfying. We also enjoyed the duck (plenty of fat but good) and the salmon (with risotto), though I can't access an online menu to recall the details.In all, we enjoyed the food, and the setting was fine (a number of other diners soon arrived), but we were disappointed that it felt so unwelcoming at the beginning.

This spot is seriously a Hidden Gem. I got dropped off by Uber and was like, hmmmm..where is this place?! Thankfully, the hotel staff at Le Meridien were super helpful and walked me over to the restaurant located right by the lobby bar. This restaurant is in a beautiful open space. Now to what we care most about... the FOOD! Absolutely delicious! The new chef is a creative master who uses fresh and seasonal ingredients to build ascetically and delectable plates. He's also super friendly and will stop by your table to say hi and check in. You must check this place out. You will not be disappointed. I'll be back soon! Gnocchi and Scallops dishes were delish.

Extremely disappointing. Considering this restaurant is part of the hotel it should have warranted more visits BUT due to a overall bad experience we only visited once. Food was overall just ok with only the kale salad getting lovin. The fish tacos was mediocre. The crab cakes were bland as well. The clam chowder was tooooo thick and probably was the culprit as to why there were tummy issues right after. The food while the restaurant being 90% empty was being offered at mega slow pace. The atmosphere was actually nice. The ONLY thing nice.
