"The portions were quite small for the price. I was disappointed with the beet salad. The scallops were good, but just not enough. If I hadn't had dessert I would have walked out of there very hungry. The wine was good."

"The Food was good not great. I went with a group of five as part of The Boston Restaurant Week. There were not many options on the menu, and 3 of us ordered the scallops and the waiter came back 10 minutes after we ordered to tell uss that they were all out of scallops. They offered another fish but I don't think that it tasted so good. The ambiance was ok, there was this one guy that made a scene screming at the waiter and at his girlfriend, and that was ridiculous but entertaining. Overall I gave the restaurant a 3 out of 5, It was an ok meal but I will not be going back."

"I made a restaurant-week reservation here for 3 -- a friend, my partner and myself. It was a Thursday night, and two of us were seated promptly in the fairly empty room while the third was finding a place to park.

Our waiter was prompt and attentive, but in a way that made us both feel very rushed ("Would you like a drink from the bar? How about now? Now?"). Part of it was a language-barrier, but I also got the sense that this was the first nice restaurant she'd worked in. Her demeanor all night was closer to someone working in a busy greasy-spoon than in a half-empty "upscale" place.

Food-wise, our results were mixed. I had the herbed waffles (w/ foie gras butter) and the pan-roasted scallops w/ roasted parsnips/carrots, cha"

"Although the restaurant accepted my reservation for 2:30 P.M. On Fridy for lunch, they were closing the room for lunch when we arrived. They moved a table to the lobby for us, not exactly a great atmosphere. The menu was less than spectacular. I would not recommend this restaurant."
