A beautiful location, impeccable service (Shout out to the ever attentive, informed and unfailingly prompt, polite and engaging Luis! He also takes a great picture) The food was outstanding, from the opening oysters through Halibut, Steaks, Duck and finished by the Chocolate Souffle. A glorious wine list, a little intimidating, but lots of ready and willing guidance available if desired. This was a great place for a family holiday dinner. The only consideration is the dining room was a little loud, but that may just be my old ears. And the lighted Public Garden out the windows was a cherry on top!

Very well appointed experience. We got to sit right next to the fireplace and it was quiet when we were there. The service was excellent and we appreciated not being rushed out. Also it was very convenient to have the valet parking. The hot chocolate was excellent!
