Not only was the food and atmosphere phenomenal, the staff were amazing. Extremely accommodating. Whitney was also an amazing performer and her bands was just as amazing. I would highly recommend this place, everything went perfect. I can confidently say I will be coming back. Thank you to the beehive for such an amazing time!

Love the vibe of this place. Food was delicious. Service could have been better but not terrible. Overall we were happy. Highly recommend the Tuna Poke and the Brussels Sprouts.

We have heard about Contessa for well over a year and finally got there. It was worth the wait. Ride to the 17th floor of the Newbury and enter another world - one of tastefully sumptuous ambience with superb "welcome to Contessa" service and food to die for. The view is amazing, especially from the tables for two along the windows, but make no mistake, this is not a view restaurant. A little pricey, but fair value, and the food is so delicious that we were sorry when each course came to an end. Parking is a challenge (other than an expensive valet option) but in good weather, nearby garages are less than a 10 minute walk. Give it a try! We are sorry we waited so long to get here.

Our server was absolutely wonderful! The food top notch as before. The only thing was that it felt as though the restaurant was a little short staffed.
