Noel was excellent waiter. Made suggestions that we followed on our first ever visit. Butternut squash soup was delicious Smooth and creamy. Needed a tad more heat. Niçoise salad with rare ahi tuna asked not blackened was plentiful and very tasty. Substituted feta cheese. Their famous burger was justified. Carmelized onions and brioche bun

This is our go-to place when attending events at North Shore Center for the Performing Arts and it doesn't disappoint. Because we waited too late to book a table at our preferred time, we came a bit earlier and ate at the bar. Worked out great and the bartender was very attentive. Had the ribs for the first time and they were delicious; apparently the BBQ sauce is made in-house.
