    Varied menu, 9 people but all food served together and all hot. Everyone appreciated the food from steak and lobster to clams and swordfish. Our server was good enough to rate spectacular. For value and enjoyment, best dining experience we had in vicinity of Copley Place in 4 evenings.

    Last minute booking on a Monday night, friend in town who I haven't seen since before the pandemic. Our waiter Kristen was very patient with us as we were talking a lot and not paying much attention to the menu! We ordered some appetizers, entrees, dessert - everything was delicious. It was a little noisy but it was a surprisingly full house for a Monday night. Only real complaint was it was very warm in the restaurant.
