Loved it! The food was great. The vibe is fun and casual. It is loud, so if you are looking for a quiet conversational dinner this is not the place. Live music starts nightly at 9pm.

The food was excellent, everything we ordered was very good. If you want a cocktail off the menu they are good, otherwise stick to water. We went for brunch, ordered coffee which they had. Coffee is below average. We didn’t mind since the food was m very very good.

Second time in and our party of five had a fantastic experience, equal parts food, drink, service (especially waitress with impeccable timing) and ambience. Octopus, endive salad, lamb chops, filet, duck club, burgers - all delicious and prepared exactly as requested, including GF accommodation. A Manhattan heavy on specifics was expert-crafted, sub-zero cold and delivered at the perfect time. Great music heavy on classic indie played loud enough to hear but low enough to talk normally. We’ll be back for sure!

This place is a hidden gem in Boston. The ambiance is excellent, fun place to hang out with great food and drinks (not too mention the fact that the cups were really cool - the shark is priceless). I would highly recommend this spot.
