The food here is really delicious. Everything from the appetizer (we had arancini) to the side (brussels sprouts) to the entree (streak frites) was prepared with the care and attention to detail that makes for a memorable dining experience. The cocktails are great too and the waitstaff are attentive and friendly. This is our go to place for fine dining in Quincy.

Service was very attentive but with multiple servers it was a bit disjointed. Food was generally pretty good but ribs were a little dry. Would go again, though.
