This is a nice stylish place for lunch. The food is well cooked, fairly imaginative, and the setting in this hotel with a hi-tech MIT theme is nice. I had Skillet Roasted Rare Tuna ($15.50), which was served with braised fennel, roasted tomato, and a good crisp salad with small olives. Other lunch dishes included Peppered Strip Steak ($13.00), Spiced Maine Scallops ($14.00), and Grilled Atlantic Salmon ($13.00). They also have salads, including a Maine Lobster Sandwich ($17.00). I had sparkling water with my lunch, but there is a good choice of beer on tap.

Recommended if you are in the area or staying in the hotel, but not worth crossing town to eat here.
