    What a beautiful new restaurant in Wellesley Square! It is absolutely gorgeous. Huge, beautiful bar area with lots of tables for dinner too. Service was outstanding. Food was absolutely delicious. A little pricey, but nothing more outrageous than other fine restaurants in the area. Will definitely go back.

    Our server Shannon was great, her assistant/attendant was wonderful & knowledgeable also. Shannon paid very close attention to my allergies and was responsive to my questions with confident answers. Both courses of food tasted great, great wine selection, and wonderful decor. Its like an old mill building with the comforts & warmth of home! Enjoy

    Lovely, lively ambience with attentive service. Multiple dishes were tasted, and all were acceptable, but none were outstanding. Oysters were good, not great. She-Crab Soup was very rich and very salty. Sliced octopus salad was bland and tasteless. Steak Tartar was cut into huge chunks of beef and were difficult to chew. Fish dish was overcooked and dry. Sirloin was rubbery and very chewy. I rate this a 5/10 on food, and know that there are so many better places to enjoy a good dinner at much less the cost,

    This was a new restaurant for us. It’s easily accessible with parking nearby. We were seated even before our reservation time but, we’d strongly recommend making a reservation, especially for Friday and Saturday nights. Food and drinks were superb, starting with the warm pretzel bread and honey butter, then onto a terrific Calamari appetizer, and eventually the Crab cake and the Grouper. All absolutely fabulous! Unfortunately, we left no room for desserts, which looked very tempting. On top of everything, the service was top-notch and friendly. The place was a bit high on the decibel level, but to be expected on a Friday night.

    We went to celebrate a special occasion. Our waiter John was very personable as were the various assistants/servers. Service was a bit slow, however, and got slower as the meal went on which was surprising as it was a not busy Sunday night. The food was good but not great, depending on the items ordered. Steaks were fantastic as were the scallops although the latter was under seasoned. Sea bass was ok. Tuna tartare could have had half the tuna (at half the price) if they aren’t going to serve with more rice. Great ambience but pricey menu and rich food. Order carefully to enjoy at the fullest.

    Thank you for the feedback Rebecca. I'm glad that John and the team gave you friendly service. My apologies if it wasn't as quick as you expected. We are working very hard to become as efficient as possible, and to execute the menu to our fullest potential. We hope you give us another try.

    Pricey restaurant in an upscale neighborhood. We ordered their crab “bites” with filet mignon, which were dry and lacked any flavor! It’s hard to believe what they charge for these meaningless morsels! Steak was ok but also had knotty sections. Not worth the price tag! Seems like an overpriced establishment seeking to profit off the moneyed class.

    Festive atmosphere and sleek modern decor. Service was friendly and attentive. Menu was pretty standard. Steak and seafood were very good, but not as good as the best steak house or the best seafood restaurant. Good addition to the Wellesley dining scene.
