Love the Lexington on the second floor with great views of the sunset at 6:30, before changing the clocks! Server very nice and attentive. I had mussels but asked for bread instead of French fries and a delicious side dish of baked acorn squash spiced just right. Friend visiting from Michigan had the fish sandwich and was great. Craving New England fish and didn’t disappoint. Chilly weather so floor to ceiling doors to outside closed but views great. Have been here several times in summer and cross breeze just lovely. Highly recommend!

We went for a family meal for my son’s 21st birthday because of the reviews about their gluten free options. It was outstanding! Service was above and beyond exceptional! Thank you for making our meal extra special!!!

The service and food are both phenomenal! Menu is small but all the dishes are excellent and made with high quality ingredients. Ambience is great, too. Right off the green line at lechmere station.

Had a lovely dinner at the bar alone while on a business trip. An excellent dining room and the service was warm and gracious. The prix-fixe menu was good but didn’t quite measure up to expectations or the price. Though a lovely spot and very good food I think I would have wished for a simpler menu service à la carte, en revanche instead. The over all experience was delightful, but I think it’s fair to shape expectations. For a $350 meal, they have set a very high standard for themselves.
