I've taken relatives and friends to the Hub so many times now that the staff greets me whole heartedly. There are other places in Boston that serve finer food but none that would top the view. Never the less the food at the hub is nice and priced right. What I always wonder when I visit the hub is why would someone pay 11 dollars to see the view from the 50th floor rather than 9 dollars tax & tip upstairs to do the same and eat a tasty salad while at it?
