    Excellent service ambience was really nice. The waitress was awesome and very attentive. The waitress checked on the table every couple of minutes just to make sure the table was fine. I’ll give this restaurant a 10 stars. AS 23 from Philadelphia.

    Went for pre- show dinner on a Saturday. The place was hopping. They were good about getting our food relatively quickly. Also no pressure to order when our friends were a bit late. Lamb chops were very good and a generous portion. Chicken Milanese, fried calimari, ravioli were good, not necessarily great. But all in all good for pre-theater

    Get the chicken and waffles! We went for brunch on a Sunday before the Boston Ballet. It was delicious and perfect timing before the performance.
