                                    As I said multiple times, this is by far one of my favorite places to go to when I’m in Boston. No downsides whatsoever, I’d give it a six star if I could.

                                    Restaurant was packed and the fact that w had a reservation made all the difference. Service was very good and the experience was better than anticipated. The food was well prepared and reasonably priced.

                                    Our first time there. My steak was on the chewy side and it wasn’t cooked to the temp I requested (med-rare), however the fries were hot and crispy which is exactly how I like my fries served. Super busy place, seems like it’s a staple place to eat on Newbury.
