Restaurant that spins???

[Curious11]

Hi. Is there a restaurant in Boston that spins, overlooking the city?

[Karl S]

no

top of the hub

fine dining. A bit over rated in my eyes. Take a duck tour during the day. Then head for Mistral, 29 Newbury, Via Matta, or any number of great restaurants. For what you'll spend at the top of the hub, you could eat 3-4 times in boston. If money doesn't matter then go right to L'espalier

Top of the Hub DOES NOT spin. The Hyatt in Cambridge does and from that side of the Charles teh view is great.

In fact, the Hyatt used to spin and you payed the price with the food. Last time I was there (5 years?) it was typical continental fair. I'm not sure if it spins anymore though: http://cambridge.hyatt.com/hyatt/hote...

I don't think TOTH actually "spins", does it? It has a 360° view, but the restaurant itself doesn't spin - at least it didn't when I went there for a company function about 8 years ago.

any place will spin if U drink enuff!

[LindaWhit]

OK, I'll give you that. But this was a company function, so I definitely didn't drink enuff to make it spin. :-)

TOTH does not spin, although it does offer somewhat less than a 360 view of the area. You could save yourself money by just having a drink & taking in the view & then as EH suggested dine elsewhere.

[ScubaSteve]

yes. Spinnakers in the Hyatt in Cambridge. i went a few years ago and think itz still open. just had drinks so i can't comment on the food.

[lavelanet]

Yes it's the top of the hyatt in cambridge next to MIT. I haven't been there in about 15 years but I assume it's still spinning.

The Top of the Hub seemed to spin when I was there for a Christmas party, but maybe that was me. ;-)

I'm not so sure Spinnaker is still open. Isn't it called Zephyr On The Charles now? Not sure if it spins anymore!

[SEH]

I don't think Spinnaker at the Hyatt in Cambridge is open anymore. You should call. If it's open still it is/was the only spinning restaurant in the Boston area. Top of the Hub in Boston does not spin.

I just checked. They closed two years ago. Looks like it's used for functions these days:

I appreciate all the replies! :) "Top of the Hub" sounds familiar. My boyrfriend heard about it and is apparently planning on taking me and my family there friday for my birthday. I am pretty sure his father recommemded it to him. What are is the price range there? as a few posts indicated it's not worth the money.

Thanls again!

I have had both good and mediocre meals there. It is leaning heavily on its views, much like the late Bay Tower room used to. Go for a cocktail take in the views then go to Mistral or somewhere intimate like Salts for dinner.

I like the brunch at Top of the Hub - lobster benedict was quite tasty last time I was there ~$15. I think that taking in a cocktail and then going to dinner somewhere else is a great idea.

If you go for the views, make sure to check the weather report. On a cloudy night, the view can be completely obstructed and then you are just stuck in an okay, overpriced restaurant.
