    My girlfriend and I both work in hospitality and came for an early Valentine's dinner since we have to work for it. Our waiter, Jimmy, was amazing, we ordered all of our food at once and asked Jimmy to pace it out using his judgement. We also asked for recommendations on a fruity/dry Wine pairing, which he did wonderfully and paired with multiple items we ordered. Everything was delicious and the oyster mushrooms were spectacular. To end our meal they brought us over a delicious digestivo and even got us a reservation downstairs at Hecate following our dinner. Amazing experiences thank you!

    We came over for lunch after meeting the owner, Cathy at a Latinx event at the Harvard Ed Portal. Me and my partner have been to Peka numerous times in the past and we always enjoy the food. We always sit at the bar and we even know the bartender there who is a really awesome guy. We really enjoyed being able to come over for lunch and will be back for the live music show next week!

    We had an amazing dinner for our anniversary. I forget our server's name (possibly George or something that starts with a J?) but he truly loved what he did and it showed. We split the Vlach Giorti and enjoyed every option on the platter. Definitely make a reservation and expect a possible delay just incase
