Nice cozy neighborhood spot. All our dishes were excellent and reasonably priced. The menu has a variety of options and several daily specials. Not too loud- it was easy to carry on a conversation. Highly recommend for a casual, cozy dinner with friends.

Our first time here since it changed from Lumiere and we will be sure to go back. Very friendly service at the roomy bar. Had a perfect dry martini and the quality of the wine is top shelf. The caesar salad with swordfish skewer was perfect, the arancini, big and melty and the mussels were a good size portion, perfect for sharing. The staff aims to please and you can tell since there were many repeat customers. A perfect place to hang out or catch a drink or bite before a movie across the street at the West Newton Cinema. And the amazing part? $1 oysters from 3-5pm daily, nice and cold and well shucked. Thank you!
