    Beautiful ambiance and great drinks! However, service was very slow even though it wasn’t busy and while food was good, it was a bit overpriced.

    Service was great. Blood orange mocktail was bland and bitter. Food was OK. My husband got the lamb pasta dish, that was very good. I got the frito misto and it was majorly underwhelming. The fish and the fries had zero seasoning/flavor. Everything was dry and blah. The cookies were great.

    On arrival for a 7:15 reservation at 7:15, we were told the table wasn’t ready and had to wait. 20 minutes later we were called to sit down. The food was great but the service was terrible, we sat directly across from the kitchen. Although the server was nice, she was inattentive and distracted by a larger party she was also attending to. The food took way too long. After waiting 15 minutes post clearing dishes for the check to arrive we had to go to the front and ask for a manger to actually pay the check. Then we were told they understaffed for the night (Friday). Unacceptable.

    Food and service good. Very LOUD place. No stop pounding music. Not a place for quiet conversation at all. Couldn't hear server, couldn't hear manager. Will go back at least once more.

    It was ok. Food was decent . A lot of it was cold. My friend never got her chicken and it was brought to her after her meal. Waitresses was friendly but the service was extremely slow. We were there almost 3 hours. I was fine with it because we were having fun together but everything took a while to come out. I wouldn’t really choose to go back but may give it another chance . Prices were what you would expect .

    Difficult to rate anything since we sat for 12-15 min w no water and no service. We got up and left. I've been before and it was fine. I will go again because it's a nice atmosphere, and hopefully we'll get better service. We spent our money elsewhere

    Hello Kathleen, We are so sorry about this recent visit at BOSA. I know we consistently strive to have our customers have the best experience possible. However, it appears we came up a bit short here. Once again, we're very sorry about this. I will message privately as well. Thank you, Lawrence

    I wanted to love it. It’s a beautiful new space and the nicest looking place around but unfortunately I’m heading back to my favorites in Newburyport I am afraid. The space is all bar with every table is near the bar so you can’t get away from it. Super loud at 6:30p and elbow to elbow at a high top for two with extremely loud 6 person party next to us. We had the Cioppino and the Seafood Fra Diavolo and both were very good. High quality delicious seafood. A bit disappointed that the other seafood options had batter or Ritz coating and were served with frites or mashed potatoes. Just prefer seafood dishes that are a little elevated with some vegetables please. Server was sweet though a little off her game as we didn’t order our entree for more than 30 minutes because she was nowhere in sight. Nonetheless she was doing her best and was very sweet. Nice drink menu. Weird that there was one salad special and one meal special but about 6 dessert specials. Would have loved another seafood special as this is “coastal” Italian. So not a bad experience but not as great as I had hoped.
