If you do go, I think their signature wood grilled lobster is the best thing on the menu.
Sonsie's is an easy walk from the hotel and has the advantage of offering an open front onto Newbury Street, so it's a popular place to go for those who want to watch all the Newbury Street action. I've heard they have decent food, but I haven't been in years.
Kingfish Hall is part of the Todd English empire and is in the Fanueil Hall complex, both of which make it suspect for me.
