    Great spot near TD Garden. The food (salmon and chicken) were perfectly cooked and flavorful, as well as the smashed potato and carrot appetizers. Stacy was very attentive and helpful in finding a gluten/dairy free meal. Seating is spread out so that even when the restaurant filled up, it was still not noisy.

    Impressed by this establishment. We wanted fine dining in Boston and we got it. I had the halibut and it was amazing. My husband had a steak, also amazing. My daughter and son were able to slit the heritage chicken and it was plenty. Sides are shareable. My husband’s brown sugar old fashioned was Pinterest worthy. I had an espresso martini x 2 with amazing taste and a frosted glass which kept it cold for the little time that it lasted. Ambiance is elegant. They were well decorated for Christmas. Coat check was a nice surprise. The service was impeccable. We will return.
