Para Maria

"Simply terrible service. We had a party of nine and waited forever for our food, which although it is a large party we had been to multiple restaurants in Boston this weekend and the waits were all at least half of what this was. During our time there, 4 of us ordered coffees that were never once refilled, and you would’ve thought that cream was a rare gem. We only ever got a tiny cup to split across the 4 of us and weren’t given an opportunity to request more because our waitress was always missing. This goes for water (or the lack thereof) as well. When the food came, multiple orders were messed up and the manager who served it did not apologize once about the mix up’s- in fact she rolled her eyes when having to pick the food back up. She at least recovered with a smile afterwards. One of us that was given the wrong bread had to wait 15 minutes for a bun while everyone else ate, despite us asking 4 separate times for literally just a bun. We eventually had to go back and ask the chef to just give us a bun, and the waitress saw and tried to say the reason it took so long was because they were “warming it up”… for 15 minutes. Dont lie. Staff was incredibly unprofessional, the manager never once apologized for any of the incidents, and the restaurant was empty despite the waitstaff being so preoccupied you would think they were slammed."

"Good Latin American cuisine. Only had appetizers but they were solid. Sat at the bar so can't expand on service beyond, but very good there. Great drink selection."

"This is a review of the downstairs bar only. We did not eat but have stopped by here for cocktails several times now, and always enjoy coming here. The ambience is lovely, as are the offerings but based on our visit last night the bartenders need to get back on track in providing better service. I have to say that the service from our last visit was almost non-existent. It wasn’t like they were slammed, they just were forgetful with drink orders and we had to keep reminding them. It felt like the inmates were running the asylum last night. Sadly there is no zero star rating for service because it was flat out awful. It felt like no one was in charge and the bartenders seemed spaced out. Also, one of them was basically harassing two female customers to go dancing with him. I mean he wouldn’t let up. The staff was unprofessional. I won’t be returning because of this. I really enjoyed going there but sadly no more. I know this is a tough review but the bartenders in the bar downstairs should be better at providing the type of service we’re used to at the Autograph collection of hotels."

"Such a pretty place w a great vibe! The patio was perfect on a warm day. Food was delicious, and the drinks were fun! I recommend the Bodega breakfast sandwich. Will definitely be back."

"We love Para Maria! Chef Tatiana and her crew do an amazing job. This salmon is one of the best I’ve ever had. Service is always great and during nice weather, the outside seating is a plus. I can’t wait to go again!"
