    The service was great, food was delicious and the environment warm and comfy on a cold winter afternoon. We had a table for two by the bar. It was nice and snug. We were ushered quick to our resso table. I would recommend the Mushroom Tostada.

    12/10. Was looking for something a bit nicer, but still casual enough for a post hockey (go Bruins) game. Came across this place and vibe seemed great. Food is great, cocktails so unique and clearly carefully crafted, but real star here is the service. From the second stepping into the restaurant we were greeted promptly. Our server Sam, who was also one bartender, and his partner Kyle truly made the night. So personable, and charismatic- Sam made us feel so welcome. Will for sure be back next time I’m visiting the area.

    The service was incredible as well as the food. The salmon and brisket were done to perfection. The bartender paired my drink with my dinner and it was great. We will be back.
