Marcus JasonOctober 4, 2015It all starts with great food and great service. Add on the very cool vibe and excellent live jazz and you've got a winning formula. Highly recommended.
Lindsay BrookeJanuary 12, 2015Go for late night drinks or a fun brunch. Always have a live band - lots of fun! Get the short rib eggs Benedict and French toast at brunch! No questions asked.
Ha DiemApril 18, 2015Had the Valentino cocktail, Bao tacos, fall off the bone ribs and fries. Great service & food came out super quick. Loved everything ESPECIALLY RIBS. The glaze on it was so good.

Jenn VachonMarch 23, 2013Everything was amazing! Calamari appetizer is big enough to share. Tokyo Rose cocktail and pots de creme were delicious!
Susan SherwinMarch 18, 2012Went for the scene & found myself in Hipster Heaven. Band was outfitted in their thrift shop meets 1950 Havana garb. Even they seemed bored with their music (but ironically so). Grab a PBR & enjoy!

Manny BaezMay 25, 2014This place is amazing. These Moroccan eggs are delicious. The atmosphere is gorgeous. Can I live here?

Gifted BostonSeptember 6, 2011The decor reminds me of something out of a Vampire movie, but a good one like "Interview with the Vampire". You might even find a tasty Brad look-a-like to enjoy a drink with. My drink Pimm's cup.

"The chowder was excellent and the steak frites and fish and chips were very good. Quaint spot and for the price, very good."
Amy Griffin - 7.0
"A well-executed, if modest, menu. Try the grass-fed sirloin burger with house-made pickles and the codfish. The line-caught Chatham cod in a bit of lobster and corn chowder is great as well."
Boston Phoenix - 8.7
"Everything about the place is big. That goes for the Fenway area restaurant’s sprawling interior, the menu—with about 150 beers, stouts, and ales—and the portions (come hungry)."
