About Waterline – Boston Marriott Long Wharf
The Spotlight on Waterline – Boston Marriott Long Wharf

Relaxed Waterfront Dining Steps from Boston’s Music Scene

Located inside the stylish Boston Marriott Long Wharf, Waterline offers a refined yet relaxed take on Contemporary American cuisine, right on the historic waterfront. Just a short walk or quick ride from some of Boston’s biggest live music venues, this inviting spot combines nautical charm with modern sophistication, making it a great option for concert-goers looking to fuel up or wind down in style.

Why Concert-goers love it

Waterline’s central location near Boston’s bustling downtown and harbor makes it a convenient stop before or after a show. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, offering a quieter alternative to more crowded pre-show bars.

Areas for Improvement
