I’ve been to the Watertown location and this one in Boston has a more eclectic vibe, loved it! The food is on point just like Watertown. There were certain nuances of the menu that were kind of weird like buttermilk fried chicken, we couldn’t get sauce on the side it had to be on top and a few other silly things but we made it work. The prices are very good and to give you a basic business meal idea (with the 20% gratuity-included for a group of six)with five appetizers, six entrées, and 10 alcoholic beverages. The bill was slightly over $400. There wasn’t a hungry belly when we left and had some to take home with us as well. The portion sizes for the appetizers are all shareable. Do your taste buds a favor and visit either or location, you will not be disappointed! To be honest, I usually take pictures to share with others, but the food was so good and devoured so fast there was no time, lol!

Our server was amazing! Great vide! Just there for drinks before the show! When a mixed drink came to strong she immediately could see something was wrong on my first sip. Took it back to to rectify! 2nd one was perfect. Chatted with us and told us about karaoke, line dancing and drag brunch. Super bubbly and enjoying her job. Will definitely be back!
