    I have been to Hemenway's in the past and this restaurant never ceases to be top notch. The Service (shoutout to Mia!) was fantastic and the food and atmosphere outstanding. I highly recommend Hemenway's. We were celebrating an anniversary and it was pretty cool that our table was sprinkled with rose petals and we were greeted numerous times with a hearty "Happy Anniversary! by a number of the wait staff and greeters(?). Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants anywhere!

    We went for an anniversary and Massimo does it right! They had special table set and was a great touch! The food and service was excellent, as expected! Unfortunately, it was quite noisy at 6:00 pm and difficult to hear my wife and waitress. Otherwise, another great experience.
