We were early for our reservation and offered to sit at the bar until our table was ready. They forgot about us and ended up seating us at the same empty table that was empty when we arrived. Food was good, music and ambiance were lovely.

This is a gem of a restaurant in Downtown Crossing. Based on our experience here, I wouldn’t mind trying out a stay at the hotel. Food was excellent, including the kid’s salad. My kids ate the whole bowl, I was so impressed. My burger and the spinach salad were also wonderful. Service was great. The ambience was great. Highly recommend.

Food was really really good! They didn’t have enough staff. We went early like 4:45 on a Tuesday and the host was our waitress. That’s no problem, but we were waiting a while for our check after we were done eating. would definitely recommend and would go back.
