My family and I were in Boston on Mother's Day. We had been wanting to eat at this restaurant and took a chance as walk-ins. We were greeted by a very pleasant hostess and were fortunate to get a seat, and we were thrilled that we did! This restaurant was busy and lively, yet the staff was pleasant, patient, willing...

For seafood and oysters you have to come here. The food is great - try the salmon tatar - the service polite and attentive. The atmosphere is great at tables and bar.

Conveniently located on Kenmore Square, this place is busy but worth visiting. They have an amazing selection of oysters, and their lobster roe pasta with braised short rib is absolutely the best pasta dish I've ever eaten.

The waiter recommended a nice bottle of wine... More
