   Great experience. I am originally from Boston and the lobster matched my expectations. Fettuccine was fresh and the lobster roll was authentic.

   Love the food here. It’s a nice place to just grab a bite on your own at the bar.

   I have been wanting to try this place for awhile and so glad we finally made it. Everything was exactly how I had envisioned it. Great location with a fabulous bar area, perfect outdoor patio when the weather cools down or late night plus good food & service. The lobster fettucine was fantastic! Try it

   Overall The Garden at The 704 was very good. I enjoyed the concept of Boston Italian food. The food was well executed, particularly the frito misto, which had a wonderful fried crust and outstanding flavor. The lobster fettuccine and the umbrian fried chicken were also stand out dishes. The cocktails were good, though $12/drink seemed pretty steep for pretty basic cocktails.

   Excellent service and delicious and generously portioned food. Menu focuses on Boston-styled Italian cuisine. Nice to have a place like this in the neighborhood!

   The food was very good. Highly recommend the fried chicken. The meat and cheese platter was excellent and bountiful for 4. Our server bent over backward to get us everything we wanted especially the gluten-free items. Highly recommend for a causal dinner night with friends.

    This is our second time dining at this restaurant and we’ve been very happy each time. We ordered appetizers, pizzas, salads and lot of drinks. We love the Brussels sprouts, Verdina pizza and the lavender lemonade to drink. Great service, nice patio. No complaints!

    Staff was accommodating but probably could do with fans outside. It was hot and there were a ton of flies. Food was just ok. We had the crab cakes, mussels, lobster fettuccine, and arribiatta. Nothing wowed.

    Showed up for my noon lunch reservation and the place was deserted! After standing at the host stand for a few awkward moments, a gentleman with shocking bruises all over his arms came out to tell me the chef had not yet arrived and offered a cocktail. This was a business meeting on a Monday, so I politely declined. When asked when the chef could be expected, the gentleman noted “your guess is as good as mine”. At that point I was obvious the lunch meeting needed to pivot to a new location. Seems like there is work to be done here with quality staffing. The interior and patio were beautiful and the menu looks to have delicious potential. Bummer I wasn’t able to enjoy either!

    We really liked this place, but OpenTable may want to reclassify it because calling it a seafood restaurant is little bit of a stretch. Yes, they do have seafood, but they dont have fish, and they also have mostly salads and pizza and some dishes very some small amount of seafood. Anyhow, as long as this is clear, this is a very cute place and the food is delicious and fresh. Our calamari appetizer was good, especially the fried zucchinis or squash it came with. My gem salad was beautiful, so fresh and crispy heart of lettuce. And the crispy potatoes are very nicely made, crispy on the outside, but super soft on the inside. Service was great, bill was reasonable. We will be back.

    I liked the wait staff a lot and they were very dog friendly so I hesitate to go too hard on them, but the food was wildly mediocre. We sat in the back patio in the late afternoon and could hardly see our meal. The lobster fettuccini was undercooked and chewy, and really just not good. The lobster was “market price” and I swear they have these things frozen in the back for weeks. So chewy and flavorless. May be a fun place to get a drink and take your dog for brunch but the dinner was bad and the lighting on the patio was hardly existent. Crab cakes were average at best. Do not recommend at all.

    I went for what I believe they said was their second day of doing brunch. They were slightly understaffed but tried hard with the staff they did have. The brunch menu was a bit limited and the french toast portion was rather small but the ambiance is beautiful.

    Good and drinks were great. Sat on the patio and it was comfortable. Only issue was that we hooked our reservation for 1p and they changed it to 1:30p without communicating to use about the change. Wasn’t an issue per se, but caused a bit of confusion.

    Food was good overall. Only complaint is we ordered an appetiser and never received it and had to ask when the check came if we weren’t charged for it. We were never updated we wouldn’t be receiving it. Also, the pizza was very flimsy not crisp as all which was a bit disappointing. The server was very friendly and attentive.

    Three girl friends and I met here to celebrate a birthday. We sat on the patio for drinks, appetizers and dinner. The staff was super attentive and the waiter made great suggestions. The drinks and food were yummy and the outdoor patio is nice. Every time I come the patio tends to be enjoyed by friendly dog owners. Would definitely recommend and will return.

    Overall just OK - a lot of misses ... underwhelmed with food and service... Gem Lettuces - we ordered a small to share but our waiter served and charged us for a large - dressing was favorable - they go a little overboard with the just OK pork belly. The PEI Mussels - nice sized portion for two to share - sauce was a little lite on flavor - Umbrian Chicken - we asked the server what was served on this dish - he indicated a leg and a chicken breast w/out the bone - what arrived was a leg with two almost meatless thighs - nice crispy coating but as mentioned very little meat - served w/nice roasted potatoes all for $23 - wholesale there was probably less than $2 of food on that plate - Lobster Fettuccine @ $32 was just OK - it did have a nice serving of lobster claw meat - Our waiter Jade was somewhat aloof and not very engaging - also instead of refreshing silverware left on a plate - he pulled off it off the plate and put it back on the on the table indicating he had no intention of refreshing - how much effort would that have been? The place is new - we will give it another try - the pizzas being served at the other tables looked appetizing...

    The food tasted like it came from cans. The fried food was probably the best thing. Although they say it’s Boston style Italian food it just seems like frozen food. The service was great.
