    A truly great place. Not trendy so it seems often ignored which makes it an easy to score reservation. Been several times over the last few years as we travel to Boston about once every 18mos or so.

    Arrived at restaurant for dinner and was told by both tables next to me that they had been waiting for over an hour and half for food. Then the waitress asked them what they ordered three times in 25 minutes. While this was all occurring they tried to bring me there separate plates of food when I had not even ordered yet. It Was so unorganized and overall a very bad experience, especially for Valentine’s Day. I would not recommend unless you’re trying to wait a while!! Once we got up to leave because we decided not to order the other people in there were calling us smart for getting out while we still could

    Waited an hour for food on Valentine’s Day…along with all the other couples in the restaurant. Food wasn’t that good and they kept getting peoples orders wrong left and right. Service was rude and unapologetic of what was happening. Then the fire alarm went off as the waitress was spilling drinks all over the floor. Great story to tell though.

    Long wait in food. Got the order wrong. Didn’t matter, it was all flavorless and not as described on menu. The menu sounds great. But the food isn’t.

    Outstanding alternative to the overcrowded neighboring seafood locations. A great place to visit if you don’t want to wait for the over-hyped, virally famous spots adjacent. Coastal Italian at it’s best

    The powered up pasta was INCREDIBLE! It could feed 4 people, but was well worth it. Everything we had that night was absolutely delicious. We would certainly eat here again in a heartbeat.
