    Mollie was a fantastic server, made our night special. We did not feel rushed at all and she explained everything thoroughly. Quickly, without hesitation, replaced drink that we found exceptionally sweet (Tropic Haven Punch). 10/10 will go back

    We had a great first visit to Sogno. All the food we ordered was delicious (eggplant soup, wild boar gnocchi special, cacio e pepe pasta, creme brulee, and ricotta pie). My husband ordered a Sogno Sip (pineapple infused vodka), and I tried a mocktail with non alcoholic prosecco and rose syrup. We loved the atmosphere, and it was fun for a date night. Our server was very attentive and offered to take photos of us, which was nice and not expected. We will definitely be back!

    Have dined many times at Surf in Woburn and Portsmouth. Never disappointed with the quality of the food. The Atmosphere is better in NH being on the river but Woburn is a bit noisy. The food quality is still worth the trip.

    Had the tuna tartare and crab cake to start and a center cut with lobster tail and scallops for an entrée. To end the meal, we had the banana foster which was well balanced of salt and sweet. The center cut was grilled to perfection and scallops were seared right on the button. Great service and dining experience overall.

    We love Omakase and found this place in Lexington without having to go into Boston. It was a wonderful experience. Seats 6 people, very intimate and make friends or it can be awkward. Luckily met friends in common at the restaurant. We enjoyed every bite! Fish was fresh. Chef Mike was very interactive. SAKE pairing is a must. Highly recommend!
