Tamo Bistro & Bar

Came for drinks only. Bar is great. Service is good. Located within Seaport Hotel. Nice enough to kill some time

It was very average food, a little over priced. Pizzas were decent, wings were ok. Menu is all over the place, needs a better theme. Service was spotty as well. If we had not been staying at this hotel I'm not sure we would have tried this restaurant.

Great food, great price at the Seaport hotel. Staff are really friendly, sat near the window. My only complaint is the seating is not comfortable and you kind of feel lower than the table making it uncomfortable to eat other than that cocktails, food were delicious the chicken was, so moist it fell off the bone.

The food is terrible and expensive. The decor is like a living room at an assisted living facility in the 1990's.The calamari is greasy and lacking all flavor and appropriate flavor. The pepperoni pizza is a grease slick. The lobster mac & cheese tastes like fishy pasta. The truffle Parmesan fries are burned and have about 3 small shreds of Parmesan cheese. The cheese served with the baked potato is mozzarella. In summary, the food is bland, greasy, and WAY overpriced. Very little parking.The staff is nice, and the chairs are comfortable... so there is that. This is literally the first 2-star review I have ever given, as very little about this experience has been redeeming.

I stopped by on one of the last days of Dine-out Boston for dinner. Tamo is a bit tucked away off to the side of the Seaport Hotel and definitely fits right in, with its casually elegant decor and comfortable ambience. We had reservations for 6:30, and when we arrived the restaurant was decently busy, with just a few empty tables available.For my first course, the clam chowder was really yummy - creamy broth with a generous serving of clams and potatoes (I love potatoes), as well as a nice bacon and chive garnish. My friends ordered the steamed mussels with coconut curry sauce, and they were quite good too! Mussels were fresh and well-cooked, and the coconut curry sauce was actually really flavourful (surprisingly!) and paired well with the mussels.For my main I had the grilled sirloin steak - meat was a bit lacking in tenderness and flavour (very sinewy in parts and somewhat overcooked), and bleu cheese was way too heavy to the point of drowning out the savouriness of the steak itself. The sautéed potatoes on the side were entirely flavourless, which was a disappointment, because as I noted above, I love potatoes.One of my friends ordered the tagliatelle with bolognese sauce, which was definitely better - the pasta was cooked to a good hardness (a bit less al dente than I'd prefer), and the meat sauce was rich and delicious.For our desserts we had the tiramisu and the crème brûlée. Both were quite good - the crème brûlée in particular had a delicious flavour with a good creamy texture - but sweetness was a bit over the top (especially the tiramisu). Overall, a great experience. Service was great - our server was consistently prompt and attentive - and while the food was not perfect, I think for the lower Dine-out Boston price, it was a decent value. I think I'd definitely be open to coming again and trying some of the other yummy options from their menu :)

Drinks are great. Bartenders are awesome but the table service or at least even getting a table is awful! Give yourselves a favor and book in advance because the host is AWFUL. If you don't have a reservation you can't be seated accordingly even though the restaurant is half empty. Hotel guests should get some kind of priority at least. Can't say much about the food since I didn't get a chance to try it!!

This is very much a hotel bar/restaurant, which is fine, but I may've chosen somewhere else had I know that.Seated promptly, a bit noisy (Friday night bar, with some sorta event happening). Waiter came by swiftly. We were catching a comedy show up the street, so were grabbing lighter fare, splitting 3 apps.Short rib poutine was tasty, but a little expensive for fries with gravy & a sprinkling of short rib. I would've liked a fruit compote or honey with the charcuterie board (almost a pallet cleanser), we asked for more toasted baguette, and the waiter brought some out minutes later. The chicken quesadillas were probably the highlight, as they were packed with chicken, black beans, cheese, with plenty of guac & sour cream.Overall was a decent no-frills meal, convenient location if you're in the seaport area.

I have been to this restaurant several times, and for good reason. The excellent food quality and presentation is the bare minimum. What makes this place stand out is the staff.Imagine a staff that constantly cares for you after the initial water pour, and anticipates your needs before you voice them. I was honestly so impressed.You would expect this sort of treatment if you were a regular (and I have since become a regular), but I distinctly remember the incredibly caring service that led me to make that choice when I first showed up.The real kicker is, the food is actually so incredibly good. I am struggling to find faults here. The food quality is honestly not a relevant part of this review, it's a given.Overall, not only is the food delicious, but the staff consistently makes you feel at home and prioritized.-Ned

Waitstaff was attentive, food was good - but don't order pasta. It is overcooked. Pizza crispy thin crust and salad was good size and delicious.

I went on 3/3/23, I was staying at the seaport hotel which I do every year around this time and every year we eat one night at tamo. Usually it's good but this time my mom and I ordered a spicy fried chicken sandwich and a margarita pizza. Both meals looked good but the breading was falling off the chicken on my sandwich as soon as I took a bite and the pizza was so severely undercooked my mom couldn't even eat it (pictured above). It's a good atmosphere with alright servers but our server looked confused and kept walking away when we mentioned twice that the pizza was undercooked. When we finally got the check he understood and gave me an extra Shirley temple which I appreciated but the pizza was not taken off the bill despite there being less than half a piece gone and left uneaten (picture is how we left it)? Overall, probably not coming here again. Also saw one of my friends as I was walking out who had a similar issue with their margarita pizza.
