Long waits for overpriced salty foods My wife and I almost left the restaurant because we were waiting so long for the food which, upon arrival, was so salty and greasy that we were both sick after a few bites and for the entire night afterwards. Thankfully, we went to this place because we got a gift card from a friend – so the wallet crunch was not so bad. However, we felt gypped – this is the best way to describe the experience. Despite making a reservation, we had to wait for a table. The service felt very forced throughout. We have eaten at many restaurants in Europe and understand that a fine dining experience should be eloquent with careful attention to detail, all while respecting the customer. Waiters serve the meal and then let you just sit there and enjoy it (all while accomplishing their duties like a ghost!). There were several instances during the meal when the waiters were a little over boundaries - moving items we had placed on the table – my eyeglasses, for example. The service felt very staged and not customer-centric. I was asked repeatedly if I wanted another glass of wine, although I had made it clear I didn't. We had to hold our menus during the appetizer cheese tray and were repeatedly asked if we had any questions on the menus even though we were very much ready to order! The cheese was okay, the brioche crackers were actually quite good and seemed fresh. Once we were able to order, it was another long wait for our single entrée and two sides to arrive. All the while, the waiter seemed to lose interest in us since we were not ordering more drinks or large expensive items. We both felt very pushed to spend money during the entirety of our time. When the food finally arrived, it was so bad, and I hate to be so negative in my review. We were really shocked – especially given the reviews and the price! The steak was very tough, it had a decent flavor, but overall tough and salty. The fries were bland at best. The Brussel sprouts were so salty and greasy, coated in this blue cheese "break your teeth" hard bacon bit solution – I think this is what made us so sick. The polenta was okay, again just very heavy and salty and greasy. Even the butter had salt in it! I think we will definitely NOT go back. If you’re considering this restaurant, I would recommend you skip it and go to the Abbey (Washington Square) instead. They have much better food, for fair prices, with a classier vibe and good service! I’ve never been disappointed there!

Literally the world's greatest staff and some of the best food I've had anywhere, plus the drinks are stellar. You can have an awesome brew, cocktail, or wine. All are for the taking. The food changes all the time so I'll just say.... Order whatever looks good to you. Because it is. Scott and Olivia are the best people, and are both extremely hospitable and work to create a bond rather than just serving you food and drink. All the waitstaff and management are awesome too and same with the kitchen. I truly love coming here and so will you....this is a true industry favorite for a reason.

The place is trendy, the servers are polite and always smiling. There aren't many options in the food as such but the food is great. The drinks are great, I loved the atmosphere and vibe. Can be a bit expensive.

Found this place with a coworker. Sat at the bar, sausage was good, great wine and the bar tenders were really knowledgeable. They had some dishes using Korean black garlic... Not something I expected to find in the Boston suburbs
