What People Say

Areas for Improvement

Because of its intimate size, reservations are a must—especially on weekends or when there’s a big concert in town. Some reviewers mention that the menu can lean a bit more toward small plates, so those looking for hearty entrées might want to plan accordingly. Parking in the area can also be tricky, so consider taking the T or a rideshare.
