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…

Great Food!
by Samantha25
I went for Restaurant Week and the food was amazing! I have been craving more of the gazapacho with crab meat. The mahi-mahi was also delicious. I went out on a limb and tried a drink with soju (which I had never heard of - I think it was called Tyku), mint and oranges. It was refreshing and a great accompaiment to my yummy meal.
- Pros: Food, ouside seating, wait staff

Sexiest Bread Pudding
by BuddyJ
GIVE A RAISE TO WHOEVER MADE THAT BREAD PUDDING
Great food, things need to be simplified a little bit on main courses with flavors. Portions can be a little small. Waitress' needs more charm. Didn't have cocktails though they were presented well on other tables.
- Pros: best bread pudding
- Cons: needs a hot staff!

Great Valentine menu!
by redwinelover
Had a great time Valentine"s Day! The broken heart martini with white and milk chocolate liquer and chambhord was delicious. It should be on your martini menu. The only drawback is we waited half hour for our table but the hors d'oeuvres at the bar helped pass the wait time. The wait staff (We had a waiter/server and waitress since there were four of us.) were very attentive. My husband enjoyed his oyster with the surprise cajun aioli. The lobster cake was delicious with visible claw meat coming out of the cake with a Bobby Flay-like sauce on the plate, since I have eaten at two of his restaurants, that was delicious and different then the mayonnaise sauces I usually have. The kobe beef, my husband ordered, was perfectly prepared as well as my Chilean Sea Bass. The chocolate trio was delicious. My friend was much enamored of the white chocolate creme brulee. I could have used more bread pudding but it was an acceptable serving since it was a trio, and it was a fourth course. We ate not far from the bar, but even with the bar full of patrons the noise level was much less then some Northend restaurants which we haven't returned to due to the loudness and cafeteria- like environment. I also greatly enjoyed the wine pairings that were perfect with each course. I will definitely return to this restaurant especially with it's great location in Copley. I want to try the Pumpkin Martini. I will come and bring friends.
- Pros: Food, walking distance of hotel and Prudential Center, martinis, bar scene, wait staff
- Cons: Wait time for service with reservation, young bar crowd felt a little old in 40's
The Details on Vox Populi
Know Before You Go:
When 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 Good:
Late 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.
Parking:
The restaurant's valet service ($12) is a bargain, given the never-ending headache that is Back Bay parking.
