   Absolutely brilliant seafood Skate sea bream monkfish oysters. All plated in a low key elegant way excellent service. Wide range of wines with many good values. Lovely deserts We had an early reservation so the noise level was good. Got noisier as time went by. Hence only 4 stars for ambience.

   We were visiting the area and had a wonderful dinner. We were sharing all our food and the kitchen split all our selections and plated everything very beautifully. Everyone from the hostess to the bar staff to the wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable. If I had one small issue is that is was just a little darker inside than I would have liked. Even so I would dine there again.

   The food and service was amazing! I was there for a show at the Wilbur across the street and it was my girlfriend’s birthday. The presentation of the food was perfect, the restaurant split everything for us without even asking, and also surprised my friend with sorbet for her bday!

   Excellent food, attentive service, and a lovely dining room—it's hard to go wrong. The carpaccio is excellent, especially for a seafood-centric restaurant. Paella was good, too. Dining companion enjoyed the Monkfish very much. Wish they had more local seafood options.

   Exceptional venue. Great food, impeccable service, wonderful ambience. I had a sea bream, which is my favorite fish and is a rare beast in New England. My husband had a zebrano fish. Both were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Plus scrumptious, tender shishito peppers are to die for. Great wine list too. Restaurant exceeded our expectation!
