We were going to order dessert but couldn't get the waitress to come back and by the time she did we decided to get the bill. ”

Our favorites are the fried calamari with plum sauce, the filet mignon and the salmon entrees, and, of course, the pan seared chocolate chip cookie dough:) The drinks are a bit pricey for our taste but we are on Newbury Street. ”

On a Thursday night at 6:30, we got seated right away at a booth by the bar which was perfect. ”

We all had a sort of burger sampler with a bunch of different sides and loved everything. ”
- “
The food is always good. ”

The burgers are tasty but at the same time a good scam, you need three of them to equal a real burger, so at $5 each, plus another $6 for fries or rings, it's a sneaky way to charge $20+ for a burger. ”

The lamb burger and lobster burger were fantastic, and the pop culture and the espresso martinis were also delicious. ”

The food was very good and it's presentation was very professional. ”

But the food was very good. ”

As well as the food the spicy shrimp, and roasted chicken was great. ”

The staff was friendly and polite and the food was unbelievable. ”

have worked in several upscale restaurants around Boston over the years and this situation was not only unacceptable but it could also be grounds for serious action, considering the risk to me and other patrons, but it was poorly handled by the staff. ”
