Laid back restaurant and bar in a great location with great food! A few highlights include the sausage and pepper pizza and fried chicken sandwich. The drinks aren’t anything crazy - standard cocktails, nothing fancy, but this is a great spot to meet friends and start your night downtown!

We went here at 6:45 on a Saturday. It wasn’t super crowded but it should be. Maybe it gets busy later? The food was a little heavy, but tasted amazing!! The server was super nice, attentive, and answered our questions well. The food came out fast and the atmosphere was very cozy and nice. The wings and salad were pretty good, but our table all agreed that the chicken and waffles, burger, and truffle fries were the favorites.

Great music on a Friday afternoon, service was great and food was good. I ordered the steak bomb - wish I didn’t have to go back to work because the Midnight Mass drink looked amazing. Steak bomb was good, and the fries were thin & crispy! Enjoyed the ambience too!

Visiting Boston for the weekend. Stopped here for Dinner. Bar/restaurant look. Sat at a high top table. The pretzel bites were a tad bit salty, but still buttery and delish paired with a tasty cheese sauce. Then ordered a med-well BBS burger, it came out medium, but the flavors were amazing. Waitress was friendly and attentive. Recommended place.

The Calamari was great. The crab cake was just OK. The expesso martini was alright after I had more Baileys added to it. The bar guy is pleasant. 😊

A well-known local restaurant in the Back Bay area, this is a great place for a comfortable time with friends and colleagues sharing good drinks, good food and a good atmosphere. Not too loud, so talking isn't a hassle. Service is quick and friendly, and they don't rush you when you're done with the food, but not the conversation. Their steak and cheese egg rolls are very good, as are their steak tips, but the sauce is a tad tangy for my tastes. The vanilla bean crème brûlée is a good end to a meal.

We showed up for brunch on a busy Saturday, with no reservation and a full book we opted for the bar. We were able to overlook the entire dining room and see some interesting decorations around the bar. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. She was friendly, cracked a few jokes and made our experience memorable. The food was amazing! I couldn't pull myself away as the flavors blended so well and stood out on their own, each bite was a journey. I can't wait to make it back and enjoy more of what they have to offer.
