Not a real restaurant-- it's a small hotel bar. No waiters. One poor overwhelmed bartender expected to seat and serve all patrons and work the bar?? We left without getting to order after it was clear this would be a time-wasting disaster. Poor guy. Shouldn't be on Open Table.

Enjoyed our dinner at this bright and airy brasserie before a concert at TD Garden. Great atmosphere and service, good food, and a very short walk to the Garden. Would definitely recommend.

We went on a Sunday evening before a concert. We ended up choosing the place just on the reviews. We went in only to find out later on, there was only a bartender working and that was all and 3 people called out. The poor man was over his head. He was running the bar along with tables. They ended up having someone from the hotel run food and help out. I’m in no way blaming the kid, he did his best. I got the wedge salad in which consisted of a whole head of lettuce chopped in half with a tiny bit of dressing and some toppings. They ran out of a lot of items to eat. I was starving by the time the concert started. The dinner ended up being so expensive.

Staff seemed annoyed we showed up. Restaurant was empty. We requested a high top which were open and got a low top. Wait staff disappeared for long stretches. Wait staff spilled plate on one of dinners at table. Did not bring extra napkins. Did not bring extra condiments which were spilled. Only provided extra fries as most of them were spilled.

Worst Boston restaurant experience in years. Poor service. Kitchen lost order. Kitchen closed but server assured us we’d get our order finally came our an hour later. Never for drinks and the “Benedict’s “ were soft boiled eggs no Hollandaise on a cheap English muffins. Stay far away from this place

We were seated for 20minutes before anyone came to pour water and take drink orders. Took another 20 min for drinks, food took forever. One of the worst dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.

One server for the entire dining room. Host didn’t help out. More staff needed. It was the same for breakfast the next morning. Salmon was undercooked. Wings and homemade ricotta with brioche were excellent.

No chef, not mentioned on their web site or when I made the Open Table reservation, no sign at all in the restaurant saying they had no chef or a limited menu - sort of annoying as I was going to a sporting event and had limited time - not sure I'll be back when they cannot do things as simple as communicate

One waitress for the entire place, one chef, one bartender. It’s too bad that people aren’t working in this industry. It took 1 hour and forty five minutes to get three salads and a flatbread. Flatbread had a hair in it, and was soggy. Will not be coming back

The calamari, fish tacos, chicken wings, kale salad with salmon, and Brown Derby were all delicious! Portion sizes were neither too big or small to share among 3 people. It was nice and quiet, and the service was great. Perfect place to get your money’s worth of food/drink before visiting TD Garden.

Made a reservation through open table. Showed up and found out the restaurant wasn’t even open. Couldn’t find another place to eat before the event at TD garden so went without dinner. Tried to book another restaurant through open table, but the restaurant somehow said I attended my reservation even though they weren’t open, so the app wouldn’t let me double book somewhere else. Terrible experience, thanks for that. Update your damn availability.

This restaurant is relatively new and this was our first visit. We were very favorably impressed. The quality of food and service were very high as was the ambiance. Prices are very reasonable for this quality dining experience downtown. The chef was making the rounds in the dining room and was clearly working hard to make sure his guests were having a good time and enjoying his food.

As a local Bostonian, I have now eaten here multiple times for both Breakfast and Dinner. The French toast, sticky Bun and Steak and eggs are INCREDIBLE for brunch and the bloody Mary’s are mixed perfectly. The calamari and wings are an absolute MUST for dinner appetizers and are FANTASTIC!! The people are wonderful and the location is perfect for anyone visiting the TD garden (basically across the street). It is a 5 minute walk from the North End and Quincy Market/Faneuil Hall and is right in between North Station and Haymarket T stations for those who want to enjoy some cocktails without having to worry about driving or spending money on Uber. Overall I’d give this restaurant an A+ and will be coming back this week!
