   Delicious salad, dessert, and wine in a relaxed, low key space. Very pleasant waitress. Walking distance from work. I’m happy!

   Great place for excellent food and quiet conversation. The menu is interesting enough to have fun things to try, and also has the basics to meet all the cravings of a visitor or local looking for classic New England fare. The cocktails have been well- made and creative, over several visits, as well. (My Beantown Margarita recently was fantastic!) Service is attentive but not intrusive or hurried. Highly recommend this place, especially for a quieter gathering.

   We booked a business breakfast with the restaurant over a month in advance. I contacted the restaurant more than 4 times before the event to modify the reservation either online or over the phone. Every time I spoke to them on the phone or changed the reservation, I received an email confirmation of my reservation. The day of our business breakfast, they said they had NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE EVENT!!!! Unacceptable and unbelievable- how is that possible?!? I spoke to several different people and they were all able to pull up the reservation. The restaurant made our business look unprofessional and they made us late. There is nothing else I could have done to secure/confirm our reservation. I tried calling the day of the event over 5 times and no one picked up.... I have NEVER HAD SUCH AN UNRELIABLE EXPERIENCE!!! They didn't even comp us a meal or anything to make up for it. I'm appalled. SUCH TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE.

   Punch Bowl. Having eaten there many times over the past few years, every time my wife & I stay at the Hikton Garden Inn, I can earnestly state that the food is great, the service is exceptional (look for Billy at the bar--he's the best!) and the atmosphere is very "city." Enjoy!

   We’re locals that were seeking a nice place to eat close by. We were not disappointed!! We were seated by a familiar face and were so glad that we made the leap - thanks Ace Atmosphere: contemporary lux. Menu: Pub grub but with a chef’s hand. Service: Fun! But then we were served by Ireland’s future premier doctor. If you don’t mind the sound of a kitchen - sit towards the back, want a little more quiet sit towards the front. Just go, both the steak and the Hake were very good and prepared to perfection

   We have been eating here for years. We like the space, but lately, the food has been disappointing.

   The special event--an Argentinian outdoor "asado" barbecue--was well planned and executed. Food, service, and special wine servings were all superb!

    Excellent food, outdoor patio with lawn games were fun for the kids, no cappuccino/espresso machine which was a bit disappointing but good service and friendly staff.
