    I’ve been here several times for oysters and a burger. Solid gastropub if you want to sit at the bar and order appetizers. However, this time wanted mains and these were disappointing. Plus, the service was lacking - brought food we didn’t order, never asked if everything was ok, ordered drinks that were never brought…and I had a clear view of our server chatting with the bar staff. Moral of the story is sit at the bar (the bar staff is always welcoming) and order apps.

    We picked this place because of the good reviews and its proximity to the West Newton movie theater. Food was great, service was excellent, would definitely recommend!
