I've eaten here many many times and it remains my favorite restaurant in Boston. Food is just spectacular and service is casually impeccable. We had such a lovely dinner, particularly the three in our party who had never been before. Have the tuna crudo from the raw bar menu--relatively simple but as good a dish as I've ever had.
