A beautiful location, impeccable service (Shout out to the ever attentive, informed and unfailingly prompt, polite and engaging Luis! He also takes a great picture) The food was outstanding, from the opening oysters through Halibut, Steaks, Duck and finished by the Chocolate Souffle. A glorious wine list, a little intimidating, but lots of ready and willing guidance available if desired. This was a great place for a family holiday dinner. The only consideration is the dining room was a little loud, but that may just be my old ears. And the lighted Public Garden out the windows was a cherry on top!

Consistently satisfied whenever I swing through here. The servers are all phenomenal but Tommy had his first day today, and let me just say he was spectacular! Didn’t know he was new till the end, and only because the manager came over and checked in to see how he did! Love this place and the effort they put in to serving their customers.
