The food was amazing - we did mostly apps and then had salads because the apps were so filling. Drinks were delicious. The atmosphere was certainly noisy and energetic but surprisingly we were able to hear each other at our table. Recommend!

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.

Everything was perfect. I only recommend to upgrade their menu. It’s hard to find something for vegetarians. I got Truffle fries and flatbread.
