Picked a place for brunch near the Theatre and on open table. Once again we were not disappointed. I really liked the menu. The food was great and certainly plenty. We will come back again.

Our server (sorry can’t remember her name) was very nice and was clearly very knowledgeable about the menu. I am coeliac and require gluten free food and the Mac and cheese was absolutely delicious. They even had gluten free beer which was an added bonus. My wife also really enjoyed her black and blue burger. Well worth a visit and we’ll hopefully return the next time we’re in Boston
