    We sat a tiny table with our baby, no space for our food. I ended up taking my food to-go because it was so uncomfortable. We were almost touching elbows with the table next to us as well. We got the wings and ribs. Both had a lot of flavor, however, they were extremely dry. I also paid $22 for a basic margarita that didn’t taste like your typical margarita.

    The food tasted absolutely amazing. But it is definitely overpriced. On top of the high menu costs, there was an extra $6.00 charge for gratuity to the kitchen staff, and then of course we made sure our waitress was tipped well. But the vibe was awesome, they had a piano player which I always love, and the overall experience was wonderful. It did take a little long for our waitress to take our drinks order, bring our drinks, and get our food but honestly once we got our food it was amazing. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Boston. I would just warn them about the $$$ and to have a snack before they go to tide them over just in case.

    We started with the meatball appetizer which was loaded with sauce and cheese. It was excellent. We then had the cod encrusted crab over a bed of tomatoes, artichokes and “black” rice. Rice was made black with squid ink that was very tasty and not salty or fishy tasting at all. This dish was excellent and very creative so it is highly recommended!!The second entree was the duck which was also well prepared, exceptional, and recommended. We finished with the sweet potato donuts, again very unusual and worth trying. The service was excellent and the staff very helpful, since we arrived in wheelchairs that were accommodated. We will add this restaurant to our list of ones to be revisited every time that we come to Boston!!

    Outstanding food and service! Party of 7 and every single person were thrilled with their dish, including the appetizers. Generous portions. My well-traveled daughter gave the lobster sandwich a top grade, the best she’s probably ever had and she orders that everywhere she can. My son said that the steak was grilled to perfection and was to die for. The poutine appetizer was amazing. We were given a beautiful table in the corner (near the windows), where the noise level was manageable otherwise it would have been too noisy closer to the bar area. The ambiance was warm and cozy and we did not have to wait for our reserved table. Highly recommended restaurant!!

    Amazing brunch spot in the middle of Boston. Close to so many great sites too. If you Luke Bloody Mary’s, you need to try this place. They have a great Bloody Mary bar where you can add all the toppings you can imagine. The food was great too. We started with the sweet potato donuts and they were delicious! I highly recommended you try them. My husband had the breakfast taco and he really enjoyed it. I had the hangover breakfast burger and it was delicious too. The service was also very friendly and attentive. Rebecca was helpful with the many options on the brunch cocktail menu. Overall great experience. Looking forward to returning whenever we are back in the area

    Worst table we could ever got, supposedly no more tables available for our party size (5). We were placed next to kitchen area in second floor, we heard plates smashing all night, a lot of employees transit through our table space. Overall a poor, expensive experience. Won’t visit again. Don’t recommend to do so.

    Very GOOD seasoning & a nice creative menu - both cocktails & food. We both loved the white balsamic salad dressing. It was so well balanced. We also really enjoyed blueberry lemon drops (but the afternoon bartender did a little bit better than the evening bartender.) My only complaint was that the seafood was a little bit overcooked. Over two visits we tried the hot & cold lobster sandwiches & the Pasta Vongole (with clams). I would go back but I’d try something other than seafood.

    I had been to Bostonia twice before this for business lunch & dinner. This time around, I went for brunch for my bookclub. Service was great, I dropped my gluten free bun cutting my large burger. They immediately asked if I wanted another and brought it quickly, even re-toasting. We really enjoyed our brunch, food was delicious. Environment was great - even though they were busy, the noise level was quiet. We were a party of 6 & glad we made a reservation through OT because it seemed if you didn’t, there was a wait.

    We ate here two nights consecutively. The first night we ate at the bar, food good but extremely noisy bustling atmosphere, couldn’t have a conversation with each other . The second evening we were sat at a table upstairs where it was very cold, no heating?. The French fries were barely warm , chicken sandwich was tasty and the service was friendly but a bit slow with drinks. Server said she wound exchange a drink but it never happened. Food arrived and it was forgotten. Disappointing probably won’t go back.
