   Fast service and the food was amazing! Highly recommend the hamachi crudo (on the specials), fettuccine, and mussels.

   Everything was wonderful but they keep to the 90 min table limit which made us feel a little rushed.

   This was our third or fourth time eating here and we highly recommend. It probably helps that my wife is from Thailand, and so speaks native language with many of the staff. That said, the food is very good, the drinks exceptionally creative (they have a nice custom cocktail listing or you can order what you like). I believe they won or were nominated for the best new cocktail bar by James Beard for the New England region. Prices are reasonable in comparison with other similar establishments, which is to say a little high for the size portions but you are paying for the ambiance etc. It is a small location with lively music and good energy. It can get a bit loud, but it's a personal preference whether one finds it too loud. For me it's ok and I am by no means a youngster, but if you are looking for a quiet romantic spot, this might not be it unless you eat early. The staff are friendly and every time we've gone, the food came out promptly.

   Small space. Noisy. Prompt service and SIMPLY OUTSTANDING when it came to the drinks, food and dessert. Every dish we tried was excellent and some even creative and exceptional. Can't wait to go back and try all the other dishes on the menu.
