    Our favorite “special occasion” restaurant. The branzino for two is perhaps the most succulent and tender fish I’ve ever had, and the tableside plating by their skilled staff makes it feel very special. Also recommend the grilled octopus appetizer; delicious!

    This was a trip with my girlfriend and I to Boston for the New Years weekend. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at various places. This place had an amazing Blue Cheese burger that was so delicious! They made some amazing smoked old-fashioned drinks as well! Definitely would go back when up in Boston!
