"My friend and I went for dinner on a Friday night. We've been going in December every year after an annual event, and for a few years the bar area was perfect. Then there were several years of a swim meet convention staying in the hotel on that night which meant for some reason the bar area was overrun with parents and teenagers ?! . I decided to avoid that problem by making dinner reservations, hoping to be seated away from the bar area. To my surprise, when we arrived, the place was quiet, no marauding teenagers sorry, I really don't have anything against teenagers except when they are roaming around a bar area that's supposed to be quiet . Anyhoo, we were delighted to be seated at a tall table in the bar area, next to a couple who were reading quiet! . I had a burger and fries, and my friend had the sliders. Both done to perfection. Our drinks came quickly and our server was super friendly, accommodating when we wanted to move away from a noisy quartet, checking on us just frequently enough. We had a lovely evening, able to talk without distraction. When it's like that Zephyr is really the perfect place for an evening out easy to get to by car, relaxing atmosphere, complimentary validated parking, good food, and a beautiful view of the Charles River."
