It's the "Big Boy" in town. Take a visit up to the observatory, or enjoy a Sunday Brunch. One of the biggest landmarks in town. More

Food is not bad , slighltly overpriced but not bad for downtown visitor central. I went with trepidation about the presumed crowds and prices and was plesantly surprized. Great place for a meet or first date, but watch the drink prices, there are some package stores at copley and prudential so why the 100 dollar mark up for bringing booze... More

Was at the Top of the Hub with a family group of 10, Great views of the city but that's where it ends, the service was very poor and the price of the food was way too high, the food was only ok, looks like the staff are happy chatting with each other rather than serve costumers More

Pros: - not too pricey - not too crowded - good with a large or small group - great views - informative/great learning experience cons: - if its hot out- they dont put AC on - if one person in the group isnt interested they will be bored or wind up going downstairs to the mall More

Wow...we could see all of Boston from the Top of the Hub! It was so beautiful! It's a great idea to have audio while up there...I definitely enjoyed learning some of the history of Boston. More

The views are spectacular, but that's about where it ends. No one at our table was impressed with any of their courses.... the mediocrity would have been merely disappointing if it wasn't for the prices that match the 52nd floor elevation. If this restaurant was at ground level, it would be history. Too bad a great location like this doesn't... More

Do anything you have to to get a reservation at this great restaurant, located on the 52nd floor of the Prudential building. The view is wonderful, the food out of this world and the serving staff unobtrusive but attentive. After dinner you can move to another room for drinks or a nightcap if you wish. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. More
