Relish Burger Bistro

Super nice bartender. Food is really over priced for what it is, I'd say average. Very chic atmosphere with a bar and even a nice little outside patio. I wouldn't go back though, only convenient if you are staying in the hotel. I won't return, definitely better options in town

Food is OK. I wouldn't travel here specifically to have dinner, but if you're staying at the hotel it's a fine option. Main reason I'm even writing a review is because I simply do not 'get' the other reviews that do disservice to the place - lots of 1 stars because of long waits for food. One reviewer says they've been waiting an hour and the food isn't here but then claims the restaurant has no clue how to cook a burger - ??? - make up your mind, either the food is not there and you can't judge it OR review that it took a long time and THEN did not meet your liking. Anyway - point being, while I find the service and the speed can certainly be improved, all-in its an OK option if you happen to be there or close by and other options are already closed.

Stay away. The dinners are ok. The breakfast is a disaster. They had the buffet which was ok. When they switched to menu options only, the server brought my food out wrong three times. I ran out of time for her to get it right, so I went to work without breakfast. Somehow, I still got charged and hotel management didn't make it right. I've stayed in the hotel three additional weeks and never ate in this disastrous disappointment again.

It's inside the Westin Hotel and my Bf & I got the burgers which were really good . Didn't have anything else on the menu though!

Service was terrible. There was barely anyone in the restaurant either. I saw one table send back a raw burger. PROS: The blue cheese for the wings was very good. Nice chunks of blue cheese in there. Nice atmosphere. CONS: The food wasn't very good overall. Waited to be seated, in an empty restaurant. 15 minutes to get ice water or even someone to acknowledge our presence once seated. OVERALL: You can walk to at least 5 nearby restaurants. Do that instead.

I was excited about trying out Relish - it would have been great to have a good burger joint in the area. Sadly, I left very disappointed. I had the Watch City Burger and fried pickles.First off, I ordered a Diet Coke, which was 100% flat. Sent it back and didn't ask for another.The fried pickles were extremely thin slices of battered pickle. Since they were so thin, they barely had any pickle flavor. They may as well have just served fried, salty batter. The remoulade had almost no flavor and tasted like straight-up mayonnaise. Skip the fried pickles.The Watch City Burger is their signature, expensive burger. It was... average. Aside from the bacon, blue cheese, and meat, the rest of the ingredient flavors (onion rings, fried eggs, & mushrooms) just blended together into a mish-mosh of nothing special. The bacon was tasty. The meat itself was quite good. The fried egg by itself was also pretty good.The burger came with a side of fries. It came in one of those cute, small frying baskets, which are typically full of fries. Instead of filling the basket, they laid most of the fries over the top, leaving the basket itself mostly empty. Lame. The fries were so-so. Not bad, not great.Finally, this signature burger also came with a root beer float. As a soda guy, I was looking forward to this. I don't know how, but they screwed up the float. It just tasted... off. I asked the waitress if it was made with an alcoholic root beer, and she said it wasn't. But I'm almost positive it was, at least it tasted that way. I only had a couple of sips.TL;DR: skip Relish. Go to Five Guys instead.

I'm quite curious as to why the Westin decided to have a "Burger Bistro" as their main restaurant, which seems to conflict a bit with their glimmering blue glass hotel landmark visible from 128. My company loves using the hotel ballrooms for meetings and firm wide trainings since parking is free and it's a relatively more accessible location than crowding everyone into Boston. Maybe they are going for the gourmet burger image like a Five Napkin? Anyway I wasn't in the mood for a burger while eating with some co-workers so I just ordered a side salad and their chili. My colleagues ordered the largest looking burger and a veggie burger. They looked tasty enough and the fries looked normal. I feel like I've been on such a burger kick lately that it's difficult to impress me with my new gold standard (Black Iron Burger). The server seemed a bit confused at some of our questions but he placed the orders in. We sat near the windows and quite honestly they are super drafty! I felt a chill the entire time from the lack of insulation. We had a great view of the I-95 afternoon traffic. During lunch on a Thursday there were only a few tables occupied. I can't imagine anyone ever coming here specifically for the restaurant. It's more a convenience factor if you are already here. The chili helped warm me up from the polar vortex chill and the salad was just a plain side to fulfill my nutritional needs.

Service was very good but we had the breakfast buffet for two days and it was cereal, eggs, bacon/sausage and potatoes. No items were different from day to day. If it's included with room, it is definitely worth it but other than that, I would skip.

The place was fairly empty at about 6:30p,On the good side the service was very attentive. My waitress was constantly filled as needed which is such a simple thing that most restaurants don't get right.I ordered their rodeo burger with no tomato, medium rare. Burger came well done with two slices of tomato. Meat temps can be missed although I would think a burger temp just shouldn't be that hard for a professional cook working in a "burger bistro". But the tomato. So easy to not get wrong.So the kitchen staff missed it. The wait staff didn't think to check to see if the order they were dropping off matched what was ordered. It's a good thing I don't have an allergy. Since I was dining with friends I pulled the tomato out myself and just ate the overcooked burger. By the way, one tomato was in the burger and the other was on the side so it would be hard to miss.We were coming to the restaurant because our friends were staying at the hotel and just didn't want to travel any more. However with all the amazing food that Waltham has to offer this Burger Bistro has to do better than this if they expect people to come.

Stayed at hotel, and just needed a quick dinner. First off the place was clean and looked okay. Second, extremely short staffed. I had to seek out our waitress whenever our table needed anything. All 3 of our orders were less than par. Small mistakes add up, all 3 of our meals had something wrong with it but we were not about to wait another 45 minutes for replacement meals. 2 Ordered dessert and both were not what they ordered. One not the way he asked for it, the other was completely a different dessert. Again, they were not waiting for replacements. Could have potential if they got proper employment and kitchen crew that payed closer attention to the details of cooking.
