This is a great hidden nook on Mass Ave. From the outside, it looks like a diner type restaurant but once inside, the ambiance is soft and relaxing. Light music playing in the background but not overwhelming to where you can't have a conversation. The food was amazingly delicious and the drinks will quench your thirst! Definitely going back! Might be one of my new fav spots to go!

What a great lunch outside on a beautiful afternoon!! The menu is great with lots of options for sharing delicious salads and sandwiches. We highly recommend the asparagus soup-delectable!! The lamb burger was very tasty and beyond my expectations. Our waiter was super and all the staff was very friendly and they genuinely seemed happy to work there! We're still t a liking about the special birthday dessert! Many thanks to all the staff and we're already looking foward to our next visit! The partial parking validation at the Technology Square Garage is an extra perk!
