Reviews for The Last Hurrah in Boston, MA
Good food. Good drinks. Amazing Boston Cream Pie! You need to come here and try the dessert if you are in town!
Tasty food in gorgeous hotel. Take time to go to lower level of Omni Hotel where restaurant is located. Fast, friendly and... attentive service. Had pot pie and beef stew. Both delicious. Topped off with Original Boston Cream Pie (shared one). Read more
Absolutely horrible experience. When I arrived I ordered a water while I looked over the menus, then I ordered the clam chowder,... French dip and boston cream pie, with a cocktail. Soup arrived quickly, but was luke warm at best. Cocktail arrived shortlyafter, no water in sight, I have a swallowing disorder I require water with every meal to prevent choking. I request my waterfor the second time. While eating the soup, the French dip arrives, no napkins or cutlery and a small condiment container ofdip. Still no water, I request it a third time, along with more dip and a napkin. Water arrives by the time I finish my soup. Still no extra dip or napkins, so I request them again. 30 minutes later I've had neither, but my hands are dirty fromattempting to dip the sandwich in the tiny container so I have to clean them off, while I'm washing my hands the busboy trys totake my food and the table next to me has to stop them. When I return I requested to box my sandwich and to have my pie servedon a plate so I can eat it and leave. Pie arrives boxed along with my bill. 0/5 stars Read more
The staff was great, service was very fast. The Boston Tea Party (martini) is delicious.
Great place for before or after dinner cocktails in the Parker House. Lots of history in this place and hotel. Staff was very... attentive, specifically Peggy. Try the Harvard Cocktail or the Boston Creme Pie dessert drink as something special. Spent mostnights in this place for a few days. Read more

Last Night we had dinner at the Last Hurrah in the Omni Parker House. We had to try the Original Boston Cream Pie. It was the... best. When the Parker House opened in 1855, chocolate was mainly consumed at home as a beverage or in puddings. There was nolack of chocolate in Boston, since America's first chocolate mill had opened in neighboring Dorchester in 1765. Since colonialtimes, New Englanders have enjoyed a dessert called American "Pudding-cake pie," but when Parker House's own Chef Anezin and hisbake staff drizzled chocolate icing onto sponge cake filled with vanilla custard, something new and sensational was born.Originally dubbed "Parker House Chocolate Cream Pie," Boston Cream Pie became an immediate and perennial hit. The originalParker House recipe for the pie (which is technically a cake) was so popular that in 1958 it became a Betty Crocker boxed mix.On December 12, 1996, thanks in part to a local high school civics class that sponsored the bill, Boston Cream Pie wasproclaimed the official Massachusetts State Dessert despite stiff competition from the Toll House Cookie, the Fig Newton andIndian Pudding.
