Reservations were at 3, we ran behind due to traffic, they were super accommodating. When we arrived we did not want a middle seat so we requested a booth which they also accommodated without an issue. I ordered the crab cake while my date ordered the octopus as apps, both delicious. For main dishes he had fish & chips (which was huge) while I had the haddock with potatoes and broccoli. I believe my dish was a bit on the saltier side but overall I did enjoy it. We paired our food with cocktails which were pretty and tasted good too. I recommend 8/10, prices are a bit on the expensive side due to it being on Boylston but worth the penny.

Extraordinary place and food! Make a reservation is a must, but be prepared to wait if your party is more than 4.

The food was amazing. The service was spot on. Only complaint is that we had a reservation, but still had to wait for 20 minutes for a table.

Great atmosphere and menu. Very good calamari appetizer followed by pan seared halibut. Moist and plentiful. Diver scallops were of different sizes and most were overdone. Good sides except the potato au gratin also overdone and hard to eat. Excellent server and service! Definitely would recommend.

First off - I don't usually write reviews but given the price of this place, I figured I should. I want to start by saying our server was amazing. The service overall was superb. First off - the wine prices were outrageous and no beer menu (by design). The crabcake appetizer was delicious - although wildly overpriced at $24 for one cake. The clam chowder was chock full of ONIONs - it tasted like onion soup to me. Not great. My husband and I got the Georges Banks scallops and both were very disappointed. Eight per plate - all different sizes from tiny to medium. Not rhyme or reason - both plates very different portion sizes and did not taste good at all. The mashed potatoes were soooo creamy - felt like soupy heavy cream. I wanted so much to love this place but was so disappointed.

One of the fish entrees, Haddock still has leftover skin which was rubbery. The other entrees was overcooked and flavorless. The clam chowder was full of flour rather than cream
