- JJenniferVIPGreater Boston •30 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoDined with a group of old friends for a much-needed get together and had a fantastic experience! Our server Jorge was excellent and set the tone for a great evening. He was attentive, explained the menu really well and was just a fantastic young man overall! Beautiful and amazingly delicious food, great ambience, and stellar hospitality. This was one of the best dining experiences we have had post-Covid and although many restaurants are still struggling with staffing shortages, etc., you are 100% nailing it! Thanks for a wonderful night!More infoBar VlahaPrice: Moderate• Greek• Brookline•4.8
- PKPeterKGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis was an overall great experience. Service and food were great and the seating comfortable. When we arrived we were struck by the very high noise level which sometimes makes it hard for a conversation. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday evening. All the staff was very friendly, cheerful and efficient. Thank you!More infoEastern StandardPrice: Expensive• American• Fenway–Kenmore•4.5
