We were celebrating my fathers 88th birthday. Our server Janice was outstanding. She was so kind and patient with our large party. She made extra effort to make my fathers birthday special. He is hard of hearing (as is my mother) but Janice was sure to speak with them so they could hear her. Janice is a true asset to your company. I worked for Four Seaons Hotels for almost 25 years - she is a excellent example of 5 star service.

We have the most magical experience since the moment we walked in. We were greeted kindly and brought to lovely seats. It only got better from there. Our waiter was absolutely amazing and the food was the best I’ve had in a long time. I highly recommend and I will be back

We were running late because it was snowing and traffic was very heavy. I called to let them know and was told it was fine. When we checked in the manager at the podium said you know you are very late. Yes, I know. I called and was told it was ok. He was rude…. Our server was great. Two of our steaks were very undercooked and needed to be sent back. My husband’s needed to be sent back a second time and was not good after it had been cut up and put back on the grill twice. Overall it was just a mediocre experience. Definitely not what one would expect at a high end steak house. We will not be returning.

We made reservations several weeks in advance and were seated at a table near a very noisy bar and the front entrance. It was clearly the worst table in the entire restaurant. We asked twice for a different table and were told both times that there were no other tables available. When the server came by our table, we indicated that we were very unhappy. A few minutes later, we were seated at a much better table in the dining room. The place had very few empty tables and was very, very noisy, which made it difficult to have a conversation during dinner. The food and service were very good. The filet mignon was done perfectly, and the veal chop was very good as well. The clams casino appetizer had good flavor, but the clams were very, very small. The entire meal was on the high end in terms of price vs. value. We will likely not dine here again as there are better options in the back bay.
