    We were a large party and the hostess and manger were so accommodating. Service was excellent - never without food or drinks. Would highly recommend!

    Service and food great. So loud it was hard to converse. Prices for beer high, food prices okay. Unexpected 4% administrative fee ridiculous

    Everything was very nice except the drinks. My friends all said the drinks were very weak and asked the bartender for a side shot of vodka. ( my drink was fine) Very cute place our waiter was very nice.

    We accidentally tipped our waiter 50% of the bill, but it’s okay because she deserves it :)

    Always a solid meal when visiting kids at Tufts. A step above pub grub. Always love the fried pickles!
