    This is what a Boston restaurant is all about. Small, cozy, historical, and amazing food and wine without being over priced.

    Food was great but service was slow. Took the host 15 minutes to seats with an almost empty restaurant, and the waitress was slow taking our order. But food was excellent

    The food was excellent, but the waiter was un attentive, it is a small place and the table next to us was very loud, so it was hard to hold a conversation (we didn't go to a bar, it was dinner, and we had to really bend over to hear ourselves).

    Food and drinks were good, portions on smaller size. Servers not the most personable. Overall I think not worth the price, go here for the speakeasy type vibe but don’t expect an amazing dinner.

    Located in a very nice neighborhood in Beacon Hill. Nice décor inside and a cozy atmosphere. We had a 45min wait for a table we had booked in advance, I feel this was down to overbooking, perhaps via the OpenTable app. Overall a very nice place though

    omg this place was so cute. very beacon hill. the back room looks like a library and is truly beautiful. the service was good in that i didn’t feel rushed. the dragoncita was a fabulous cocktail. it was their spicy marg. it was a beautiful pink color in a rocks glass (my preferred for a fancy marg). no rim, but it worked with the drink. perfect sweet and spicy balance. very ice heavy tho. sarah got a whiskey drink that was actually really good, and normally i’m not a big whiskey person.
