    Fantastic as always. A hidden gem nestled away in beautiful beacon hill, this neighborhood watering hole never disappoints. The mussels were fantastic, with extra bread to soak up all the goodness, as well as the strawberry salad and cookie skillet for dessert. All was great, accompanied by the friendly service that only a local Boston join could manage. Love the food, people, and experience!

    We arrived with two toddlers in tow. The server was great and asked the kitchen staff to prepare a grilled cheese (not ordinarily on the menu)- served with their typical fries- very good and very much appreciated! Butternut squash soup, fish sandwich and beet and arugula salad were excellent!

    Loved it! The food was great. The vibe is fun and casual. It is loud, so if you are looking for a quiet conversational dinner this is not the place. Live music starts nightly at 9pm.

    The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. If you want a cocktail off the menu they are good, otherwise stick to water. We went for brunch, ordered coffee which they had. Coffee is below average. We didn’t mind since the food was m very very good.
