This place is a hidden gem in Boston. The ambiance is excellent, fun place to hang out with great food and drinks (not too mention the fact that the cups were really cool - the shark is priceless). I would highly recommend this spot.

The food, expertly prepared, was delicious, with staff, including hostess, server, and assistant, working well together to create a synergy to our benefit. Holiday ambience was woven nicely into the experience as ostensibly no patrons had canceled for the evening notwithstanding the snow coming down outside in ample quantity; thank God the cabs were all running on time.
