    Absolutely amazing experience! It was my husbands 30th birthday and wanted to treat him to a nice streak dinner while on our weekend trip to Boston. I put this in the comments in OpenTable and they printed menus with his birthday on it! They also put candles on dessert at the end of the night with an extra dessert. Phenomenal staff (Lucas was particularly wonderful), phenomenal food, phenomenal experience. Can’t wait to come back next time we come to Boston!

    The appetizer mussels were pretty plain. I expected wine, garlic, butter…and didn’t taste any of that, even though I could see some garlic. The entrees though, were fabulous! I had the lamb massaman that was so tender it melted in my mouth, and the curry was delicious. My son had the duck,and everything in the bowl was yum, especially the broth.dessert was the vanilla salted caramel lava cake. While the sauce was way too sweet for me, the cake was delicate and so good. My hot and dirty martini was perfect. I would recommend this place.
