MJ O'Connor's - Seaport

This is a bar/restaurant that is attached to the Westin hotel. There is an entrance to it from the hotel lobby. When you walk in from this direction you go into what I guess is the back bar area. They have a nice bar area with tables and some booths and tvs to watch sports. And the front area of the bar has a bigger bar area with some more tvs and plenty of seating. I think there are a few outdoor tables too or only in the warmer months there may be. I did pick up and had a 20.00 voucher card since I was a guest at the hotel. No one told me and it did not say on the card that the voucher could not be used on take out orders. When I asked the guy if there was any possible way he said no but he would call someone, I guess his manager to ask and they also said no. I was pretty bummed. Oh well I guess I can use it next time I am in town. The food was your standard Irish bar/ restaurant type. I did not know what I was in the mood for so, I got mac and cheese with toasted ritz crackers on top, watermelon with feta, cucumber and basil salad and beer battered chicken tenders. The mac and cheese I liked the best. It was a bit cheesy, watery but it still tasted good. The salad had too much feta for my liking, not enough basil and the chicken tenders were very crispy which was fine with me as I think I asked for them to be but a bit too crispy and fried. I did not try anything else or have any drinks here. They have two locations of this place. I have not been to the other one before, but if I had to guess it would be like this one. I will say, it is not like you're missing out in much if you end up not being able to make it here to try this place out. But, if you are in this area of the seaport it's an on spot.

I stopped in here today to grab a quick bite during a conference at the adjacent convention center. It was still the work day, so I abstained from any adult beverages, though the beer list was intriguing. I ordered the fish tacos and a bowl of the chowder. Both were excellent! The chowder had plenty of clams and none of the flour thickener too many places use to stretch their chowder. I loved the level of heat in the tacos--my lips are still burning a little bit!

Surprisingly really good food for a sports bar. I recommend the fish tacos, the short rib poutine and obviously a juicy burger. The place is next to the convention center so it can be quite busy during events

Service was fast. I tried the clam chowder. I was very disappointed. Less than 100 meters across the lobby you can get delicious clam chowder at the Birch Bar. This was definitely not it. Chewy ocean floor. Complete waste of $8.

Stopped here for dinner after a conference. Put my name in to sit and was told a 20-minute wait. After maybe 5 minutes, we were able to be seated.The atmosphere was fair, with a kind of cabin cozy vibes. The waiter was quick to arrive, as was the food. The calamari was fair and arrived at almost room temperature. The meal arrived at a similar temperature. Even the dessert arrived at a similar temperature. However, it had a burnt flavoring to it. Both desserts tasted like they had been reheated multiple times, which was really disappointing.

The tartar sauce saves this from being a 2-star review. The clam chowder was tasty, but rubbery and an odd consistency. The fish and chips were ok, the fish was decent, but the frozen fries were garbage. The tartar sauce saved the dish!Also don't order a bowl of soup. We ordered a bowl and a cup... ate the cup, poured the bowl in the cup (take out portions) and the volume was 98% the same! Scam!We ate out because the main room was full and very loud. The staff handled the take out order well.Will be checking out other eateries while in Boston.

It is a bar type of restaurant, but they have good food, I tried their clam chowder soup, which was very good. I also tried their fish taco and chicken sandwich, they were also very good, service is a little slow, but food is very good and I recommend it.

Westin should create their own bar and restaurant and cater to their paying customers.

Food was OK. Service was terrible. We ordered wine and an appetizer. The appetizer came and we had to ask 10 minutes later for our drinks. We were off the entrance of the lobby in the hotel. Maybe if it were dark and wouldn't have noticed, but the paint was chipped off the walls and scraped off the booths. It made the place seem dumpy.
