    We ate here for my husband’s birthday, also Valentine’s Day. The server, Morgan was great. She even sang Happy birthday to my hubby! My dish was a little spicy but my husband loved his steak and shrimp. I had requested a high top because it’s seems a little quieter. Overall, I highly recommend. Best to reserve in advance.

    Lively spot in Southie, with multiple sports screens, good beer, and yummy bites for brunch or lunch (maybe dinner too but we were there at noontime). My southern egg and maple sausage sandwich was a vast improvement over fast-food versions. My husband loved the short rib eggs Benedict. Both dishes were reasonably sized portions. We visited on a Saturday when it was busy and were glad we made a reservation!
