    We went for jazz brunch before the theater and it was lively and festive. We all ended up getting the Eggs Benedict and a variety of coffee. The waitress was great and accommodated any manner of hot/iced, regular/decaf, with different creamers. She was wonderful. The food came out quick and hot and they also accommodated our desire to get next door to the theater efficiently. The bartenders, too, were lovely while we waited for our table. All in all a quick but fulfilling experience.

    One of the most memorable meals I've had in Boston! Not your average French fare. Flavors are bold and menu is fairly inventive, especially for a French-style bistro. I will return...soon!

    We enjoy eating here - most dishes are fresh, creative and delicious. Service is usually solid but our wait staff yesterday was clearly having an 'off' day and was rather sullen. We would have indicated that fact in the size of our tip but the restaurant gives you no choice ion that matter and charges 20% minimum tip no matter what.
