One of our favorite restaurants when we visit Boston. We always get the onion dip appetizer and at least one of us orders the scallops, but everything we’ve tried has been delicious. Espresso martini is excellent.

Our server (sorry can’t remember her name) was very nice and was clearly very knowledgeable about the menu. I am coeliac and require gluten free food and the Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious. They even had gluten free beer which was an added bonus. My wife also really enjoyed her black and blue burger. Well worth a visit and we’ll hopefully return the next time we’re in Boston

We got both flavors of wings, calamari, truffle fries, and edamame. Just an apps night for a good bye shin dig. Didn’t even realize it was trivia night. Had a great time. Waitress was very patient with us as we had a large group.
