Very lively pub-by atmosphere with good food, great service, live pianist playing great music. A little loud for conversation but we were also seated right next to the piano so imagine there were quieter tables further away. Salt and pepper wings were awesome, tater top poutine was SO good, and the burger was describes as the best burger EVER.

I’ve been to the Watertown location and this one in Boston has a more eclectic vibe, loved it! The food is on point just like Watertown. There were certain nuances of the menu that were kind of weird like buttermilk fried chicken, we couldn’t get sauce on the side it had to be on top and a few other silly things but we made it work. The prices are very good and to give you a basic business meal idea (with the 20% gratuity-included for a group of six)with five appetizers, six entrées, and 10 alcoholic beverages. The bill was slightly over $400. There wasn’t a hungry belly when we left and had some to take home with us as well. The portion sizes for the appetizers are all shareable. Do your taste buds a favor and visit either or location, you will not be disappointed! To be honest, I usually take pictures to share with others, but the food was so good and devoured so fast there was no time, lol!

Food was good, love the ambiance and energy thats put into this place but my server tried to charge my party double the price on a couple items which was caught, and then fixed to the appropriate prices. Place is already pretty pricey but for you to double the prices on some of the items while my party is already paying a huge bill with gratuity that was included because of a bigger party.
