Open Late, Handicap Accessible
For three star American, try Top of the Hub in the Greater Boston area. This place is located in the Prudential area. It's known for its eclectic offerings. It's been awarded the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence award. This place features dancing. Upon entering the restaurant, you'll find a quiet atmosphere. This place features private rooms, a full bar, brunch, catering, and valet parking. This restaurant is handicap accessible, open late, and good for groups. People who have eaten here found the food downright exciting, phenomenal, and very good. Diners really enjoyed the restaurant.
The laid-back elegance of ample tables, crisp white linens and hefty silver and glassware produces a lush, romantic feel. So does the 52nd-story vantage. Patrons--conventioneers, locals celebrating birthdays...

I've taken relatives and friends to the Hub so many times now that the staff greets me whole heartedly. There are other places in Boston that serve finer food but none that would top the view. Never the less the food at the hub is nice and priced right. What I always wonder when I visit the hub is why would someone pay 11 dollars to see the view from the 50th floor rather than 9 dollars tax & tip upstairs to do the same and eat a tasty salad while at it?
