   I was in the restaurant 28min before I was offered a drink, which arrived at 39min. This is the second time this happened. (First was opening week, with large party that waited 19min to ask for drink order). This needs to get fixed. Generally the restaurant, ambience, and food quality is good, however management needs to work on how the welcome their customers. Most patrons are pleased to be patient, once they’ve been welcomed and offered a drink

   What a beautiful new restaurant in Wellesley Square! It is absolutely gorgeous. Huge, beautiful bar area with lots of tables for dinner too. Service was outstanding. Food was absolutely delicious. A little pricey, but nothing more outrageous than other fine restaurants in the area. Will definitely go back.

   Our server Shannon was great, her assistant/attendant was wonderful & knowledgeable also. Shannon paid very close attention to my allergies and was responsive to my questions with confident answers. Both courses of food tasted great, great wine selection, and wonderful decor. Its like an old mill building with the comforts & warmth of home! Enjoy

   Lovely, lively ambience with attentive service. Multiple dishes were tasted, and all were acceptable, but none were outstanding. Oysters were good, not great. She-Crab Soup was very rich and very salty. Sliced octopus salad was bland and tasteless. Steak Tartar was cut into huge chunks of beef and were difficult to chew. Fish dish was overcooked and dry. Sirloin was rubbery and very chewy. I rate this a 5/10 on food, and know that there are so many better places to enjoy a good dinner at much less the cost,

   This was a new restaurant for us. It’s easily accessible with parking nearby. We were seated even before our reservation time but, we’d strongly recommend making a reservation, especially for Friday and Saturday nights. Food and drinks were superb, starting with the warm pretzel bread and honey butter, then onto a terrific Calamari appetizer, and eventually the Crab cake and the Grouper. All absolutely fabulous! Unfortunately, we left no room for desserts, which looked very tempting. On top of everything, the service was top-notch and friendly. The place was a bit high on the decibel level, but to be expected on a Friday night.
