    This was the first stand out dining experience I've had in a long time. Everything from the intimate dining atmosphere, to the excellent service to the thoughtful menu and small but well put together wine list (the by the glass). Thank you Boiler Room for making eating out worth it again.

    Loved it! Best experience we've had a long time. The hostess who has worked there for many years, read my note and was able to accommodate my request for a special table for our early 6 pm reservation. She popped over to our table occasionally to check in and made a few recommendations as well. We shared the green salad with bleu cheese vinaigrette and it was perfect with just the right amount dressing. My halibut was delicious with a lovely crust, beautiful sauce and just the right veggies. Perhaps a touch salty, but that is the only small edit I would make. My husband loved the currywurst and said it was very flavorful. The carrot cake was fantastic, with such a good spice profile. The atmosphere here is soft, classy, artsy and it is so fun to watch the kitchen and bar from afar. Can't wait to go back!

    This was our first visit to the BoilerRoom. We were blown away. Amazing! The food was delicious and well plated. My husband had the rib eye. And I had the Hanger steak. Both were prepared to perfection. The potatoes and tomatoes were delicious. Cocktails were different and very good. The waiter was efficient. The Boiler Room will be our new place for special nights out. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

    Everything was wonderful. My only real complaint would be that it smelled kinda weird where we sat. It smelled like a cleaner or something kind of chemical in nature.

    We were seated at a table in the corner, above the kitchen which was warm and smelled from every meal being prepared and the table has a spotlight overhead which shines directly into the face of one person at the table. The cheeseboard was delicious and the highlight of the meal. Bar service was extremely slow. The duck was dry and flavorless. The hanger steak had so much sauce on it, the meat couldn’t be tasted. Desert was very average. Worst of all was the service. The server was no where near the level of attention or skill you would expect from a restaurant claiming to be “fine” dining. Don’t think we’ll be back any time soon!
