Restaurant Week was so good we went a second time. Koginut Squash soup, Grilled Shrimp with Paprika, Bacon, Polenta and Rigatoni Bolognese were delicious accompanied by a great red wine (Lang and Reed) chosen by Andrew.

We enjoyed the "Dine Out Boston" prix fixe menu offerings very much. All three courses were delicious and attractively presented. Service was great - efficient but not intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable and made good suggestions for wine pairing. It had been a few years since we dined here last, and this meal left us wondering "why has it been so long?"
