    The service at 80 Thoreau is outstanding - attentive, knowledgeable waitstaff. The food is very good - loved the carrot salad, and the chocolate/mint dessert. I liked the scallops - was expecting something different, but enjoyed the unusual presentation and tastes.

    We were seated by the window, hoping for a warm and cozy meal on a cold winter evening. Unfortunately, the large windows were very drafty, and we had to keep our coats on the whole time. The cold air was so noticeable that the short curtains were moving. It wasn’t just us—everyone sitting near the windows was bundled up in jackets and scarves, trying to stay warm while eating. The food and service might have been nice, but it was hard to enjoy with the constant chill. Hopefully, the restaurant fixes this because it has the potential to be a great, cozy spot.
