   Excellent meal! Bartenders were amazing. The calamari was the best I've ever tried anywhere!

   We were seated for 20minutes before anyone came to pour water and take drink orders. Took another 20 min for drinks, food took forever. One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.

   There was some problem in the kitchen. Orders were not coming out to the tables. We got ours just in time to make our concert but most we’re still waiting. Like the chef was missing last night?

   We were celebrating NYE and the food wasn’t up to par. My husband’s steak was full of grizzle. We were quite disappointed with the meal.

   One server for the entire dining room. Host didn’t help out. More staff needed. It was the same for breakfast the next morning. Salmon was undercooked. Wings and homemade ricotta with brioche were excellent.

   No chef, not mentioned on their web site or when I made the Open Table reservation, no sign at all in the restaurant saying they had no chef or a limited menu - sort of annoying as I was going to a sporting event and had limited time - not sure I'll be back when they cannot do things as simple as communicate

   The poor bartender was taxed beyond her ability and honestly none of it was worth half what we paid.

   One waitress for the entire place, one chef, one bartender. It’s too bad that people aren’t working in this industry. It took 1 hour and forty five minutes to get three salads and a flatbread. Flatbread had a hair in it, and was soggy. Will not be coming back

    The calamari, fish tacos, chicken wings, kale salad with salmon, and Brown Derby were all delicious! Portion sizes were neither too big or small to share among 3 people. It was nice and quiet, and the service was great. Perfect place to get your money’s worth of food/drink before visiting TD Garden.

    The woman working the bar was also the Food server…..She was very good and the only reason I gave 3 Stars was because she should have some help. I give her 10 stars for all the running around she did…..hat off to her

    Made a reservation through open table. Showed up and found out the restaurant wasn’t even open. Couldn’t find another place to eat before the event at TD garden so went without dinner. Tried to book another restaurant through open table, but the restaurant somehow said I attended my reservation even though they weren’t open, so the app wouldn’t let me double book somewhere else. Terrible experience, thanks for that. Update your damn availability.

    They didn’t ask for my reservation, they didn’t celebrate or congratulate my wife for the note I left, the food is really amazing, the rest is bad….

    This restaurant is relatively new and this was our first visit. We were very favorably impressed. The quality of food and service were very high as was the ambiance. Prices are very reasonable for this quality dining experience downtown. The chef was making the rounds in the dining room and was clearly working hard to make sure his guests were having a good time and enjoying his food.

    Soooo...they never seem to have waiters. I've been here on multiple business trips and I am always served by a bartender. Last time the sides for my dish were cold. Experience could be great...but not yet.

    As a local Bostonian, I have now eaten here multiple times for both Breakfast and Dinner. The French toast, sticky Bun and Steak and eggs are INCREDIBLE for brunch and the bloody Mary’s are mixed perfectly. The calamari and wings are an absolute MUST for dinner appetizers and are FANTASTIC!! The people are wonderful and the location is perfect for anyone visiting the TD garden (basically across the street). It is a 5 minute walk from the North End and Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall and is right in between North Station and Haymarket T stations for those who want to enjoy some cocktails without having to worry about driving or spending money on Uber. Overall I’d give this restaurant an A+ and will be coming back this week!

    The restaurant was really quiet...which was nice. Outstanding crab cakes and great wine. Highly recommend.
