No sign, nothing. We had driven in all the way from Millis MA, and paid for parking. The restaurant was scheduled to be open for brunch until 3. Our "reservation" was for 2:15. There were other people who had made reservations outside waiting, too. We ended up going down the street to The Gallows, and thankfully, they were open, as it was a bitter cold day. I sent an email to the manager, no response.
