    What an amzing experience. My roommate and I started off trying the one the Mocktails the "Berry Good Lemonade" so delicious. Followed by the "Heritage Pork Belly Adobo" which was recommended to us and oh my what a dish the flavor combination was explosive and the pork melts in your mouth. I also tried the "Poached Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail" ...by far the biggest Shrimps I've ever seen and another amazing choice. For my entree I chose the "Branzino" I've been wanting to try this dish for the longest time and so glad I chose to go with this dish at Willow and Ivy and the crispy smashed potatoes were amazing and made a delicious pairing. And for dessert I tried the "Cappuccino" and "Warm Double Chocolate Brownie Sundaе" was truly satisfying to watch this dish being brought to the table I was in awe when they placed it on the table In front of me. As my roommate told me my eyes nearly popped out my head watching them pour the hot chocolate on the chocolate shell and watching it melt down to expose this chocolate goodness hiding underneath. Absolutely amazing 21 out of 5 stars.

    OMG what a great addition to the Back Bay and Lenox Hotel!! The space is cozy, yet sophisticated in the best way. The tuna appetizer - perfect. The peach focaccia was maybe the best bread I have ever eaten. Both the mushroom pasta and bolognese were outstanding. For dessert the home baked cookie - delicious (warm from the oven). The raspberry/lime creme brulee was the most incredible I've ever had. The staff was gracious, attentive and excited to share this new treasure with us.

    The food was unbelievable! Every single dish is amazing. The mashed potatoes with potato wedges in them was the coolest way I’ve ever seen mashed potatoes served. The raspberry lime Rickey sorbet is to die for!!
