   I would definitely not recommend this place. The food was way below the norm given the prices they are charging. All of our steaks had an issue. One was a strip steak and it was full of gristle and inedible. Another was a ribeye that was tasteless and not good meat. Another steak was overcooked. Another ribeye was offered and cooked and it too was awful. They offered a lobster tail to another in a party and it came out late. Just a real disappointment and bad dining experience. The service was also very low and non-attentive. The night was a disaster and for the price we paid it should have been top notch.

   I am sorry to hear you were so unhappy on your visit. I cannot say for certain what happened with your steaks as they appeared to be like all the others served that night. We did attempt to correct and/or replace multiple meals at your table and unfortunately sometimes it can take a little while to make new meals. We removed several of these items from the bill as we felt badly that you didn't enjoy your experience. I apologize if you were displeased with the service. We were not aware of any service issues at your table. Please feel free to contact us further if you would like to give us another chance.

   Hospitality was outstanding - from the two hosts/manager up front to the back sever and server. Food was high quality. Great experience!

   This was our first time visiting this restaurant. Can’t say enough good things about it! Warm welcome at the door by the hostess. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The atmosphere and decor was contemporary and slightly upscale but had a warmth. We were fortunate to partake in the Dine Out Boston prixFix dinner. She crab bisque, steak with seasoned mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms, followed by dessert choice. The beef was incredibly delicious…. Seasoned perfectly and one of the most tender, tasty piece of meat imaginable! Bisque was amazing too!! I LOVE that there are still some nice restaurants that continue to make it feel special with little details like an actual candle (not a battery powered pretend flame interpreter), the specialty basket of warm flavored rolls - served with herbed whipped butter ( not the foil wrapped hard as brick pads), and the assistant who served cutlery as needed and removed any used plates immediately. Our Waitress was Monica, and she was wonderful! Highly recommend!

    Loved the food! The steak was cooked perfectly. The reason for my lackluster review rating was primarily because of the service. It started out well at the hostess stand and when we were initially seated but as time went on, things got progressively worse. We had to flag someone down for drink refills and for dessert. Finally, at a place like this, we expect that a Manhattan is properly made and not with a maraschino cherry. Good food but need more work on service, managers coming your way the tables and please put all service staff in proper uniforms. A nice restaurant like this should not have service employees in yoga pants.
