great food, service, and drinks. Only complaint was that a party at a nearby table was taking multiple photos with point and shoot camera with flash, and with the dark lighting, it hurt the vibe

Best meal I’ve ever had. I had the A5 wagyu while my brother had the filet mignon. The A5 absolutely melted in my mouth. Sides were excellent, as well. But the star was the A5. Excellent wine pairing recommendation. For dessert we had the “largest crème brulet in Boston” and it was exceptional. Every bit of the meal and the experience was well worth it. Will undoubtedly return.

Absolutely incredible. I went for my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend and it was well worth the steep price. We had the fresh Burrata as our appetizer, she had the Fettuccine Bolognese, I had the Saered Scallops, and we got 2 desserts… the Coffee Gelato and the Crema di Boston. Food was awesome, server was attentive and nice, but the best part was the ambiance and the view. My god. Super awesome experience!
