    We had an excellent experience. We came early and were seated at a corner table, so the noise level was comfortable, and we could hear each other talk. The food was excellent - we had several fish dishes and salads. The scrod, salmon, and spinach salad were particularly good. Our waiter was outstanding. We had theatre tickets, and so were time contained. He was attentive and helpful, even with several special requests we needed to make. All around, an excellent experience. Thank you.

    Went there for the first time last night on Valentine’s Day. This is one of the new restaurants that has opened up in the alewife area now that there’s a lot of housing. They have nice friendly staff, but the service is a bit slow because they seemed understaffed with waiters. They have a bar shuffleboard table that’s kinda nice. Wasn’t crazy about the cocktail choices. Place seems to mostly cater to youger couples and our families with kids who live in the area. Food is average in my opinion, but not overpriced as the most expensive entrée is $31 and most are in the mid 20s. Also if you’re vegan or vegetarian, there aregood options here. The empanadas were very tasty. The dumplings are really thick on the dough and chewy  and then my wife, and I agreed that the vegetarian filling was a bit dry so you really needed to have with the spicy dipping sauce. The Bolognese was massively overcooked, and while the flavor of the sauce was good the pasta was an absolute mush. That dish was the biggest disappointment for me. The shaved brussels sprouts salad was quite tasty though with halloumi. I probably won’t go back as it’s not my scene and I prefer a higher level of dining.
