Overall, we had a really great experience. Loved the duck wings in particular and the fact that thee mocktails were not basically as expensive as the cocktails as you see at many other restaurants in Boston.

Fantastic, as always! We went for something a little different - the crab cakes and the uovo Benedictine, and both were great, but the real stars were the cocktails. Absolutely stellar espresso martini and “direct flight to Rome” a perfectly balanced espresso & amaro cocktail that I fell in love with. We’ll certainly be back (again and again!)
