    Very good food and service in a large space with a casual but energetic vibe. The food is inventive. The service was attentive and helpful. A good place to dine out on a date, or with a group of friends looking for a good time.

    Was disappointed that the online menu did not make clear that that on weekends there is no full menu until after 3. Took a long time for the waitstaff to take our orders. Had to ask someone to get the waitress over.

    I liked the restaurant and my friend and I had not seen each other for four years, so lots of catching up to do. We were there for over two hours, but we were pretty rushed and at the end the server basically told that somebody else needed the table, but I would come back. It was just kind of annoying. And we didn’t finish our appetizer before our dinner came. There was definitely a feeling of rushing us out.

    So Good! Creative menu with delicious options ranging from oysters to ceviche to pasta to risotto. Service was attentive, and the decor is great too. My only comment is that the room is very noisy. Wonderful option for a great meal without having to go into Newton or all the way into Boston. Go!

    The food was delicious. We had the Maine crab aracini with the additional crab on the plate along with a great aoli! For dinner, we had the shrimp limoncello with pasta which was excellent! Service was very good without being overly attentive. Went early so the noise level wasn’t too bad! Will definitely try it again!
