Had dinner at Terra with my wife. Food and service were excellent but the tables were really close together and it was super busy. I would have rated it higher if there was a bit more space to spread out.

Our annual trip to Boston from ATL & AL. Faccia a Faccia was a MUST book. The staff and chef accommodated our gluten free needs. The GF squid Ink trottole and mozzarella sticks are the BEST! Ranks up there with one of the best dishes we’ve ever had. We have been looking forward to this meal for a year! The chef and Sarah made today awesome! Thank you!!

Impeccable service! I forget how rare it is and how pampered it makes you feel. Grill 23 offers that. And beautifully prepared food, if a little too salty for my taste. And DineOutBoston makes it a deal.
