Favorite lunch spot at RSA Conference. Great food and service, as usual. And the table of 5 could all hear each other.

Delicious Italian cuisine. We dined here for Easter Brunch. The salad was perfectly dressed. The artichoke arancini were scrumptious. The lamb meatballs were tender and very flavorful. And the roasted lamb was succulent and fall apart tender.

After an underwhelming Valentine’s Day experience, the 54 Mint team reached out to me offering a gift card and we decided to return and give them another chance. It seemed like we were at a different restaurant this time. Our server Jacob was lovely, attentive and cheerful. The gnocchi w ragu was a delicious appetizer and we thoroughly enjoyed the Roasted chicken and lamb chop entrees. Kudos to the Mint team for making up for a previous negative experience, and we will be back!

We went to support a neighborhood restaurant and enjoyed the Restaurant Week prize fixe menu. Warm, welcoming, efficient service, lovely space that had a buzz but was quiet enough for conversation, and food that was a cut above what we expected. Beautifully prepared and presented central Italian dishes. We will certainly be back!
