We live in the neighborhood, and haven eaten here often. Everything is great - atmosphere, staff, and, especially the food. Even if seafood is not what you prefer, there are other delicious choices. One caution - beware of a wait and lots of people when the Red sox are in town! More

Even with the weight of top ratings, this restaurant was outstanding in every way. The vibe--people excited to be here.... More
