    Ariella , Ariella , Ariella ! My partner and I frequent steakhouses in Boston and I can 100% say I have never had the level of service Ariella gave us. My fiancé is pregnant and when we asked for the desert menu , first thing I said is wow they don’t have tiramisu. Ariella 5 minutes later shows up with a tiramisu cheesecake she ran to Cheesecake Factory to get for her. WHAT A ROCKSTAR YOU GUYS HAVE ! Eddie Vs has immediately jumped to my #1 steakhouse and I will be requesting Ariella every time. She embodies what customer service is all about. If you have any event coming up , please request her. If you’re her manager reading this , I beg you to promote her to run this business. If she can coach them to half of her service , you would have the best staff on the planet.

    1) Great music. So happy it’s there for bebop brunch. Love the relaxed vibe 2) next time I won’t get the eggs. I make them way better than that. There was minimal cheese and sausage in my cheese and sausage omelette. I will tolerate the food for the great music 3) my husband’s hamburger was excellent though
