    The waitress was more interested in chatting around the bar, seating at the high chairs or talking in the kitchen. She was not very attentive. The service was very slow and as we had other drinks she never cleaned the old glasses from the table. Besides that the restaurant was not busy at all. It looks like there was no manager on duty, or if there was one he was not doing his job also. About the food everything was great except the old bread that was served with the Mozambique mussels.

    We had a nice meal again. My wife had the halibut entree and I had a Nantucket scallop scampi special-both delicious. Our server, Matty, was delightful. We shared crab cake appetizer and I tried the Azorean Old Fashion cocktail which was very good but the maple syrup doesn’t mix well and leaves pure syrup at the bottom of the drink-too thick and sweet. My wife enjoyed a glass of cab wine. We were too full to consider dessert. Very busy place, as always, bustling with activity

    The downstairs experience is like a total Boston speakeasy vibe!! The lighting, booths, and just all around vibe was the perfect mix. The food was above expectations and the martini was *chefs kiss! Perfect for girls night, date night, or just a nice meal.
