    Great new location. Firstly our server was amazing! Would go back just based on her level of attention and engagement with us. Easy to find and plenty available parking. Unable to book anything larger than 5 via open table. Which was unfortunate since I was traveling and trying to book a birthday dinner. When we arrived our table could have comfortably fit 8, so was bummed that I limited invites. They don’t do any special request (e.g., personalized menus unless an event, which is 11 or more). Apps were meh, entrees were delicious we had squid ink pasta and NY strip and rib eye. Side were also yummy! We did Brussels, carrots, didn’t care for the crab fried rice. Dessert favorite was the tiramisu baked Alaska.

    I loved the plants everywhere. I had steak with mashed potatoes and yellow peppers which was cooked perfectly and super tasty. I definitely would return next time I’m in Boston.
