Mariel Boston Reviews
Terrific food and super service
We had a wonderful meal here. The service and the food were terrific. You won’t be disappointed. Our server suggested that we split the dessert that we ordered due to its large size, and we were very grateful for that advice.
I had a reservation for 7:30.
We got seated at 8:10. They were overcrowded, overbooked, and not apologetic. I would not recommend this "establishment".
Great spot, high ceilings make for great dining.
I go often, plus you have great staff to help out
Fantastic!
Amazing! Best food ive had this year. Ordered 6 dishes, tacos were tasty. Highly recommend. Service was great too. Overall great experience.

Visited Boston from Miami and walking in Mariel-- felt right at home! This establishment is beautifully designed and so much to take in! I grabbed a seat at the bar on a Friday night and ordered drinks, they were handcrafted and absolutely delicious

Stopped in for a drink and a snack at the bar and WOW! Will definitely be back. The classic daiquiri was delish. The empanadas are like an entire gourmet meal full of flavor in every bite! Great bartender. Old-school Havana atmosphere at the bar only
it was a fun place before.
went there today and it was very bad even the security was rude to us. R.I.P old mariel
Booked a birthday reservation here two months in advance.
We got there and it took them 30-40 minutes to sit us. It then took our waitress an additional 20 minutes to even take our drink orders. I am shocked that a place like this could have such awful service
Do you like Mojitos??
We went out for my birthday dinner to Mariel. I was looking for a really unique atmosphere with great food & drinks. Walking in the door you feel transported to a cafe...maybe in Havana....it feels like vacation. The decor is beautifully done, t
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to formally express my deep concern and disappointment regarding a distressing incident that occurred during my visit to your establishment last night, which I believe warrants serious attention. My friends and I arrived early to secure

We had a reservation; it was my daughters 21st birthday, they wrote Happy Birthday on the menu witch I thought was a nice Gesture. The food was good, but the portions were very small for the price. The place was beautiful. They took them about 30 min
Vomited later that night …
The best part of the place is the chandeliers. Some of the small plates tasted fine but you need at least four of them per person to feel sated, at $20 or $30 a plate. I sure did not feel like we got our money’s worth for $300 for three of us. Not

Came here for a brunch with a group of 7 and while I love the ambiance, both the food and service has gone down hill, which is a bit of deal breaker with this being a more expensive place. We ordered a bunch of apps, and all of those were pretty go
Disappointing dinner experience!
We had a dinner reservation for 12 people to celebrate a graduation. Bottom line: They didn't take care of us. The table reserved for us was in the bar, not the restaurant, and was a round for 10, not 12. In addition to being crowded at the tabl
Excellent ambiance, great dinner, bad brunch
Dinner and brunch are two different experiences. Dinner is fantastic with great tapas. Excellent flavor. The salmon pieces re amazing. Desert is also excellent. I like the music and decoration. Cocktails are good but overpriced. Brunch is dissappo
Terrible all around...
We had the worst experience ever here. Extremely rude and unprofessional staff and terrible vibe. Really disappointed.
Mariel
Very nice atmosphere and the food isn’t too bad. Crazy portion size for the price though but that’s just how it is lol. However we did have to reserve because we were a party of 9 but when we got there we still waited 20 minutes so what was the p
Not a cuban restaurant
The food was far from being cuban the fried yuca was chips, the rice was stale, and the only cuban thing was the little empanadas,the portions were very small. The little steak had good flavor not soft,but good marinate flavor.
Disappointed
The decor was very nice but noisy to the point it was hard to carry on a conversation. Our waitress, Celina H, was inept from the start as we were served our hors d'oeuvres even with one missing order. I told the server of the omission but it
It is just a nice cocktail bar, food is way overpriced
Plates are small but their prices are quite big. Pizzas don't deserve to be called with that name. Nice atmosphere but would have loved Cuban and Caribbean music instead of disco music. Can be recommended to have several good drinks but not for
Amazing food with big city glamour.
What a wonderful experience this place is. Visually stunning rooms, beautiful people and amazing food. My favorite is the Cubano flatbread but then this was the first time I had dessert…wow, wow, wow Flan was wonderful and the “star” dessert wa
DAMN THIS WAS GOOD.

Beware - this place sketchy.
I have now had two horrible experiences with them demanding money for things I didn't want/receive. The first time I went here, I went with a group of friends for a 9:30 reservation hoping to get drinks before heading downstairs. But when we arrive

This is the kind of restaurant where you aren't really paying for high quality food as much as you are paying for an instagrammable setting, theatrical menu items (I will discuss later), and overall very specific atmosphere. To begin, I have to giv
Was our 2nd time there.
Food was amazing and really great atmosphere. Randy, our server, was absolutely phenomenal. He was funny, attentive and also incredibly helpful and sensitive to a gluten allergy from one of our party. He made us feel very welcome. 5/5 would go again.
This spot never misses.
Been here multiple times, and the food and drinks are always amazing. I never been downstairs, but the ambiance is fabulous. It's so pretty inside and music is bumpin'. Definitely a spot to enjoy and chit chat.

They stop giving out free tap water in the basement past a certain point and charge $5 for a small bottle of Fiji. That should be ILLEGAL!!!!!
Cute place to take pictures but the food isn't something
Cute place to take pictures but the food isn't something I'd come here for. We ordered -chorizo pizza: nothing special, pretty average pizza. -fried calamari: probably my favorite thing we ordered. Crispy and has a nice sauce -coconut flan: a lit
I wouldn't go there again .
The portion of the food was way too small even for tapas style and OVERPRICED . The service was terrible. Management didn't help either when issues were brought up about one of their staff members being disrespectful towards women, management said t
I went here to celebrate my friend's birthday.
It was a very vibey space though a little too dark. We got a bunch of things to share (tapas style) and most were very good. They also have an amazing drink selections including a few nonalcoholic options. The service was good, they would periodical

Excellent food, service,ambience and cocktails. What more could you ask for?! Enjoyed the shrimp pizza, mojitos and other cocktail that I can’t remember the name of… Give this place a try! I stopped because I love Latin food. So glad I stopped i

I made a reservation for 8:30 because we wanted to stay for drinks after dinner. When I came in there was a coat check which is always nice. Even though we had a reservation for 8:30 they didn't seat us till 9 which was a bit frustrating. However onc

Wonderful experience! Randy our waiter was amazing -- I have a gluten allergy and he was so knowledgeable and we had an incredible time! Ambiance was top notch. Will definitely come back. Yummy food!
The interior of this restaurant is beautiful.
I went here in the summer with a party of six and ordered the pitcher cocktail with the flames on top. It was great for a girls night experience. I only docked a star because the bouncers were very rude and made it difficult for us to join our reserv
Loved the food, service and vibe at Mariel.
Great place to celebrate all types of occasions! Sincerely, Elvin R.
First time at Mariel's.
Amazing experience! Like the previous review - The vibe, atmosphere, service, and food 10/10, even on a packed friday night. This will be the go-to spot in Boston. We will return with friends.
Birthday family meal
Fabulous location, modern and sophisticated inside. Great atmosphere and lovely staff. The food was superb. We started with the the sharing fondue, piping hot and so tasty with lots of fresh veg, meats, and bread to dip The small plates were excelle
Connect with users posting reservations for Mariel Boston
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Mariel Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Mariel Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Mariel Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* PerceptiveWash44, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* PerceptiveWash44 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to PerceptiveWash44 for any questions Peter may have as PerceptiveWash44 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* PerceptiveWash44 now uses their connections at Mariel Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If PerceptiveWash44 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, PerceptiveWash44 receives the $200 reward which is credited to PerceptiveWash44's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Mariel Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
