- RRonGreater Boston •19 reviews4.0Dined 3 days agoI made the reservation expecting their regular menu. Instead we were presented with a prix fix menu. However, the evening progressed we noticed that other diners were ordering off the regular menu. It would have been nice to have been given the option. With that said, the prix fix menu option were excellent. The server was attentive and friendly.More infoTwo-Fifty MarketPrice: Expensive• American• Portsmouth•4.2
