    I reserved a table 2 weeks in advance and requested a quiet Booth. When we arrived we were given a high top table in the bar area very near the front door- this is unacceptable.

    As always everything was excellent. Had the BLACKENED MAHI-MAHI and Fried Oysters for the first time and I highly recommend both. The service was great! Will be trying brunch next.

    Food and service were both excellent. Our appetizer arrived moments after we placed the order, but our server did a great job of not rushing us and spacing out the appetizer and entrees. Look forward to returning and trying more dishes!

    Excellent food, service and atmosphere but extremely loud, quite challenging to have a conversation. Not an ideal place for a first date. Maybe the bar area is better. The acoustics need to be improved.

    The food was scrumptious. I was most impressed because I have a wide array of allergies. The Maitre D took that very seriously and I was assured at each course which foods were safe for me and which were not. We left stuffed and even took two entire dinners home. It is my favorite restaurant in Wellesley and we might plan a wedding rehearsal dinner here. Thank you for the great food and attention to detail.
