    I had a reservation for 3 people at 11pm on Friday and no one even came by to offer water or take our orders until 11:30pm and by that point we were putting on our coats to leave. I went to tell the hostess about the disappointing service but she didn’t seem to understand what I was saying and said “that’s okay” to my complaint. It looked like she was having a cocktail at the hostess stand, so I’m glad she was able to enjoy hers!

    Music was waaaaaaasy too loud for a lounge environment where people were sitting and talking. We were near a speaker and could not hear each other or the waitress. The waitress was amazing and requested several times the music be turned down and they turned it down for a bit and then it got loud again within a few minutes. She says the DJ does this every night. It was miserable. Everything about the place was great but we had to leave because the music was unbearable.

    Great place for drinks and small bites! Get the Short Rib tacos, so good! And I can remember the name of it, so I’ll just call it the Spy Dog, GOOD STUFF.

    This place lives up to the hype! Best listening bar in Boston. The ambiance, audio system, and bar program were all excellent. Not a “quiet” listening bar, but a place all the cool kids will want to be.
