Had the pleasure of eating brunch here a week ago. Great service, food was fabulous as was the mimosa. Could have split the dishes as the portions are HUGE, but there is always the option to take it home and enjoy later. more

This is a great bar/restaurant near Harvard Sq and Porter Sq. Perfect in the summer with the windows open and tables out on the sidewalk. We ordered a prawn toast appetizer that was to die for. Very highly recommended. The other dishes were pretty good too. A nice place to spend an evening. more

Seems a little unnecessarily schwanky and crowded in the evenings, but it's good for brunch. Not too crowded, and the french toast is very tasty. more
