Editorial Review for Vox Populi – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
With a contemporary, dimly lit interior and a social, sunny sidewalk patio, this Back Bay after-work hot spot offers a variety of atmospheres. Young professionals stop by at all hours and fill the popular ground floor's comfy banquettes to swill designer drinks (white crantini, red sangria martini, cranberry mojito). Calmer environs can be found upstairs, where welcoming sofas and a quiet dining room beckon. Service in all corners is provided by harried, good-natured waitresses.
The Food
The varied menu of contemporary favorites is ideal for an upscale lunch or a snack between drinks. Budget-minded diners skip entrees in favor of shareable appetizers (asparagus and goat cheese pizzette, grilled chorizo, baked brandade). Entrees include white pepper crusted skirt steak, served with portobello fries, and a whole roasted lemon-tarragon chicken. Desserts like homemade apple beignets and warm pineapple upside down cake provide a palate-pleasing finish.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoWhen the weather is nice, expect an hour-plus wait for a sidewalk patio table: Reservations aren't taken, and patrons have a habit of lingering over drinks.
Look GoodLate nights, when the bar scene takes over and there's a bouncer outside, leave the ripped jeans at home or you won't get in.
ParkingThe restaurant's valet service ($12) is a bargain, given the never-ending headache that is Back Bay parking.

I booked dinner here for my sister-in-law's bachelorette party in July and everything was fabulous. We had a private room that was beautiful, with our own personalized menus for the night. The staff both in making the reservation and once we were there were awesome. One of our waiters, Thomas, was simply the best. He was so fun and accomodating. Lastly, and most importantly, the food was great. There were 15 of us, so the odds that someone wouldn't like something were high, but everyone just raved about their meals from start to finish, and the bride-to-be loved her pistachio cheescake dessert. Highly recommended for special gatherings. The coordinator for private events, Jasmin, was a delight to work with.
