    This was our first visit to the restaurant, but it won’t be our last! The food was great. We loved the vibe and the service was fantastic!!! We highly recommend the Suya beef appetizer and the very spicy plantains (can’t remember the name of the dish). Great wine and cocktails! There’s nothing wrong with this restaurant (though I a bit more salt on the short ribs would have been good) and we understand why it’s so difficult to get a reservation. But we’ll keep trying to get there again.

    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.

    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.
