KarlaJune 15, 2012Try the Mushroom burger - Perhaps the best veggie burger. It's incredible. Huge mushroom pieces, juicy interior, caramelized exterior. Yum!
Good sandwiches here, but I'm not a big fan of the open-faced pizza sandwich (it's like a pizza crust with a salad on top).
Alex SalazarJune 27, 2010Dean, the Bartender is the man. He's a funny trash talking Bostonite so engage and enjoy.Also, they some Oregon beer (whose name escapes me) that was AMAZING.
Crick WatersDecember 11, 2011Manhattan and Kir Royal at the bar were perfect. Old style. Felt like NY or Wash D.C.
Be sure to talk to Dean behind the bar. You'll probably hear him before you see him :)
Stefania PomponiMarch 20, 2013Odd service and they were out of my whiskey but it's a mellow, non-scene bar.
Giles DouglasOctober 14, 2011Service was weird - ordered 1 starter and 2 mains for 2, got 1 starter and main at same time? Also bizarre interpretation of carpaccio. Not sure I'd come again
Have a martini from Dean and the filet mignon. Always awesome.
Talk to the bartenders, and try the mussels. They're fantastic.
Gayle L. McDowellApril 15, 2012Avoid the calamari. Some of the worst I've ever had. Chewy and totally bland. Even the sauce couldn't save it.
