About Long Bar & Terrace
Seventeen floors above Trinity Place, the Raffles Boston bar splits into a tall cream-and-green dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-air terrace of low sofas, clipped hedges and umbrellas looking over Back Bay and the Prudential. It serves from 6:30 in the morning until midnight every day, so the room moves from breakfast and weekend brunch to afternoon tea, then cocktails and a bar-food dinner menu over soft lounge music. Google puts it in the $100-plus bracket, and reviews are frank about that: the view, the room and the drinks earn steady praise, while the food draws complaints of $30 eggs and uneven plates. Service swings between servers thanked by name and birthday groups who felt brushed off. Terrace tables are the prize and staff do not move parties once seated, so ask for outside when booking. Smart casual suits the room, and reservations are recommended for dinner and brunch.
