   This was our first visit for my boyfriend’s birthday and the service was extremely disappointing and ruined my visit - I won’t go again. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and we had a party of 8 originally. I put that it was my boyfriend’s birthday on the reservation. Two weeks in advance, I sent a message over open table to add two children. No response was provided. I called the day of to confirm if my children could attend and was provided an iffy response making it clear they would squeeze us in. The table ended up being cramped. The server was completely inattentive acting as if we didn’t need good service because she already was receiving 20% tip on the table through the add on fee for a party of 10. We got two orders of spinach dip special and there were only a few pieces of bread included. We had to ask for more. They failed to Clear our plates. We brought in cupcakes and there was a $30 cake cutting fee added to The bill yet she failed to bring plates or forks until I asked. We had to use an old knife. My dinner special was disappointing and the scallops one of our party had were tiny - only 3.

   Absolutely loved our server - we’ve had her twice now and she’s been super helpful, hilarious, and attentive both times. I’m ashamed I can’t recall her name at the moment - but the third time we go I’ll be sure to remember!

   The food was delicious. We orderd six dishes and 5/6 were stand-outs. Our server was very friendly and helpful.

   I may be wrong but I would describe the food as leveled up classics. Very delicious. The fried oysters, farro salad and the French dip panini were incredible. As was the sticky toffee dessert. Highly recommend.

   My new favorite place in Cambridge! This restaurant is much more cozy than many in Boston with equal to or better quality food. It’s not cheap, but it’s well worth the price. Cocktails are extraordinary.
