Best WLM Reviews
This restaurant is located downstairs in the lobby area at the Courtyard Marriott Boston Logan Airport. It is a warm and cozy location, and staff are professional and personable.
We stayed at the Courtyard, so it was very convenient to have this restaurant located at the hotel. I figured since the restaurant was located at the hotel that we could order room service, but unfortunately room service was not an option.
We called the restaurant and ordered some food to go then picked it up. We ordered 3 lobster rolls and 3 New England Clam Chowders. We received a call that our order was ready within 15 - 20 minutes after ordering. We were happy that it didn’t take too long because we were starving.
The pick up process was simple. We went to the bar area at the restaurant and found that our order was already packaged and waiting. The attendant quickly rang up our takeout order and processed my payment. They were all friendly and professional.
The New England Clam Chowder was thick and rich just as I like it. It could’ve used a little black pepper and maybe a pinch of salt but otherwise it was good. The lobster roll was fresh, and the lobster was cooked well. The lobster could have definitely used some more seasoning and perhaps some herbs; nevertheless, the texture of the lobster was perfect. There was also a decent portion of lobster. The combination of lobster roll with fries made it a fulfilling meal.
Wow, I’m very impressed by the meal we had tonight. I would say this place is underrated given the quality of the food we had. The clam chowder was nice and thick with a great quantity of clams and potatoes just as it should be. Too many places add bacon as filler and it detracts from the great clam flavor. We also had the haddock fish and chips. Again a great dish as the haddock wasn’t fishy and the batter was light and stays on the fish nicely. The chips were nicely crisp and had the skin still on for a great texture feel. Cole slaw was just right with a nice amount of pepper and not salty. Overall A+ for the food we had.
Probably more of a 4.5 overall.
Saturday night and they have a pretty good crowd. Burger and fries were solid. Only complaint was that the burger was well done and I ordered medium. My wife got the fish and chips, which she said was delicious.
Okay, here’s the thing. I was getting on a plane for the first time since February 2020 and flying out of Boston Logan at 7:54am (air travel is actually hypothetical, that plane didn’t actually get airborne until 9:45am…). I live in Vermont. Driving the 2.5 hrs to Logan isn’t bad. Parking at Logan IS bad. But! We have The Dartmouth Coach. Which, for $39, will deliver me, and my luggage, directly to my departure terminal. My problem was I’d have to get on the 3:25am Dartmouth Coach to make my flight and THAT seemed really terrible. So I decided to check out my Marriott app to see about staying at a hotel near the airport the night before.
Which is how I wound up using a Free Night Award to stay at The Courtyard by Marriott near Logan Airport. I cannot imagine why anyone would willingly stay at this hotel without a free night. I also got an upgrade to a suite. I’ll say again, I have NO IDEA why anyone would pay for that suite…
The hotel is OLD. And TIRED. But it’s carrying on! Like the rest of us.
The staff at the hotel was pretty great though. And I do enjoy periodically dipping my toe into the parallel universe of The World of Air Travel. It’s weird.
Before making my reservation at The Courtyard By Marriott I made sure there was a restaurant on site that was open late. Because I would be working my usual day (wake up 5:30am, take care of dogs/animals, cook/prep/schedule/stock/troubleshot at The Hartland Diner 6:30am-4pm, then get on the 5:05pm bus to Boston) and after my 2hrs 45min bus ride to Terminal A and 15 min ride in the hotel shuttle bus (the shocks for which went, entirely, about 10 years ago…WOW) and checking in (when I discovered that I’d made my reservation for the wrong night and the LOVELY front desk guy switched it for me), dropping my bags in the hotel room and stripping off the outer layer of fleecy jammy pants I wanted to get directly to the bar.
Which I did.
And, as I said, it’s weird in there. In kind of a fun way though. This is NOT a young person’s spot. When the bartender (a GROWN woman, like myself) told me I didn’t have to wait to be seated and tapped the bar top like “sit right here honey” I practically hopped up onto that bar stool. I was LOVING the Grown Diner Waitress serving drinks vibes!! And I LOVE seeing we “seasoned” women on the service frontlines.
I ordered a gin and tonic. It was terrible! Because the tonic was entirely flat. Which is the problem with 99.999% of gin and tonics. So I’m gonna chalk that one up to operator error.
I ordered two apps: fried pickles - meh - someone left them in the fryer too long, but not terrible; Buffalo Cauliflower - a little weird, it had been steamed and then kind of “seared”?? And then covered in hot sauce and blue cheese dressing. If I hadn’t been so stubborn and actually cut the cauliflower smaller it would have been easier to eat. I was expecting fried cauliflower. But I got actual cauliflower and just as well. Because! I then ordered the Beer Battered Fish Sandwich. Which comes with either regular fries or sweet potato. I got regular.
I think this might be the best fried fish sandwich I’ve ever had. Fish was fried AMAZINGLY crispy and the batter was delicious! The bun had also been grilled to perfection. The sandwich is served with lettuce and tomato and I didn’t add anything to it. No sauce. Nothing. So when I tell you this was a DELICIOUS, EXCEPTIONAL fish sandwich I’m talking about the actual, unadorned ingredients.
And. The Fries. Some of the best fries I’ve ever had. SO GOOD. Thick cut, with skin, but also crispy. (I don’t like soggy fries). And plenty of them. The only reason I didn’t finish every little scrap of French Fry on my plate was because I was officially feeling uncomfortably full.
Which, honestly, is usually my goal when I’m eating out. I want food so good I stuff myself.
If you find yourself in the vicinity of Logan Airport, or at this Courtyard by Marriott, GET THE FISH SANDWICH. It is a whole, delicious meal!
While the decor is a bit tired and worn, and the menu quite limited, our food was excellent!. I had the chicken club. The chicken was tender and moist and the bacon perfectly crisp and flavorful. My partner had a burger which he pronounced really good, flavorful and moist even if it was a touch overcooked. Thd French Fries was really crisp and obvious right out of the fryer. Great service as well.
Delightful environment, courteous and helpful wait staff, delicious food. Fish sandwich with veggies (special order) and carrot cake shared dinner for two last night and farmers omelette, fruit bowl, and blueberry buttermilk pancakes shared breakfast for two this morning.
Service was a little slow but I enjoyed the food. Had my first lobster roll and loved it. Buffet breakfast was even better. I'd eat here again for sure.
I had the fish and chips and it was very tasty and the portion was large. The atmosphere was fun and there was a good crowd sitting at the bar all having a good time. Large TV’s also scattered around the restaurant/lounge area was a good touch. Only negative part was that it took 15 minutes to have my waitress come take my drink order and bring water, but in her defense she was running all around the restaurant and taking care of way too many tables for one person. Once the drink and food orders were in the service was very quick. I’d come back here for dinner next time I’m staying at this hotel!
