606 Congress, Boston, Massachusetts Restaurant Details

Food:

Awful restaurant.....cooks are dirty, kitchen is filthy, and the chef steals all his recipies.

Food:

606 Congress does get a few things right; the design is excellent for a hotel restaurant, the staff are eager to please, and the bar is excellent. My order consisted of the Ward 8 cocktail (rye and hand squeezed juice), a 1/2 dozen oysters, and the Escoffier burger (with foie gras). The drink was spectacular, the oysters good but not briny, and the burger was preformed and cooked on a griddle! (I could see the kitchen from my seat.) Unfortunately for the restaurant the dining room was empty on an early Wednesday evening but this underscored to me there's little quality in the ingredients to support what seems, at first glance, a winning menu.

Food:

We went to 606 Congress for their Valentine's Day Tasting Dinner; 5 courses with wine pairing. The decor of 606 Congress is impressive and has a lot of character. The chef was sure to check in on each table multiple times and the service was very friendly. The one thing I disliked was that the servers were sometimes confused, bringing plates and wines out of order, meaning some of our stuff got a little cold. The main dishes were excellent (best red snapper I've ever had!) and I would come back for dinner or a couple of cocktails if I'm down in the seaport area.
