    Great food- the popovers and the duck were amazing! So was our server Martina! Friendly, knowledgeable and gave us all the details on the menu and the restaurant space. Excellent wine selection and service by the sommelier. Would go back again if we were in town longer!

    The food was excellent. We had a party of 3 and decided to get two appetizers and two dinners to share. We had the pork belly (best we’ve ever had) and the popovers (huge!). For dinner we shared the bolognese (delicious!) and the steak frites (the chimichurri topping was not great - tasted minty). The issue we had was our server. He never checked on us and the entrees came out while we were still eating our appetizers (one of our pet peeves). The highlight of the meal (besides the pork belly) was the wine guy (not sure if he was a sommelier or the manager or the owner) but we enjoyed discussing wine with him.

    We came here for my niece's birthday. I think they thought it was a bit noisy and overwhelming (they're from Western Mass :)) but it seemed normal to me. I wonder if some sound absorbers would help though. They enjoyed the steak frites and the half chicken. I thought my Bolognese was a little overseasoned. It was very heavy on the oregano which I feel overpowered the parmesan. Might just be my own taste preference. I took most of it home, to which I'll add some chopped tomatoes to cut down on the oregano taste. Otherwise the service was super, as usual and I really loved the birthday cookie at the end!! THANK YOU for providing a wonderful dining experience! :)

    Excellent experience as always with great food, service, and atmosphere. The oysters were delicious and the double smash-burger is legendary. Wish the wine by-the-glass selection was a bit larger though. Having a coat rack and umbrella stand was very much appreciated on a windy and rainy night.

    Ledger as always was outstanding. My family and I go there quite often, a few nights ago I took a group of professional colleagues. They were impressed with Ledger's atmosphere, service and of course the quality, preparation and taste of all the dishes. Ledger is my go to for celebrations, business and family outings. It is the best restaurant anywhere North of Boston!
