    Extremely SMALL portions on everything. Mediocre service, waitress put in order wrong leaving out one of our meals. Appetizers & entrees took a very long time. A huge amount of very small kids. Seemed like it was a pub Chucky Cheese. Doesn’t take Amex. Would not return.

    We arrived at 8:30 on a Friday night (make sure to get reservations on the weekend). We were seated promptly. There was a two-person band playing live music and the place was full (not packed, but bustling). Given the day, time and live act, it still felt a little too loud (we had to shout across the table to hear each other). Aside from that, the food, service and vibe were all great and the Celtics won a tight game, so cherry on top.

    Very good neighborhood restaurant. The waygu burger was cooked perfectly. The Fish & Chips seemed fresh and tasty. There is also a nice selection of beers.

    Came here for my baby shower brunch & it was AMAZING the food was very delicious , I love how they understood that I couldn’t have any alcoholic drinks , the bar made all my drinks non alcoholic which was beyond appreciated , nowadays most places don’t even bother. Our waitress was hands on with our needs and never missed to ask us how we felt about anything. Will definitely come back and will recommend to my friends and family.

    We had a reservation at 6pm. were seated given menus and waited 20 minutes were not given water or even acknowledged. Other customers who can in after us were then given water and had there orders takes, again no acknowledgement from waiter hostess or manager who was walking around near us. Left through the front door hostess didn't even acknowledge our leaving. What a shame it's in our neighborhood and we wanted to patronage a local restaurant, never again
