Fantastic as always. A hidden gem nestled away in beautiful beacon hill, this neighborhood watering hole never disappoints. The mussels were fantastic, with extra bread to soak up all the goodness, as well as the strawberry salad and cookie skillet for dessert. All was great, accompanied by the friendly service that only a local Boston join could manage. Love the food, people, and experience!

This was a trip with my girlfriend and I to Boston for the New Years weekend. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at various places. This place had an amazing Blue Cheese burger that was so delicious! They made some amazing smoked old-fashioned drinks as well! Definitely would go back when up in Boston!
