The four of us enjoyed our meals. The server was very attentive and addressed our food sensitivities well. Food was all delicious, from focaccia and french fries to shrimp tacos and mussels and grain bowl. Even the side salad was crisp with delicious light dressing. Would definitely recommend.

We started with the prosciutto bites which were odd but decent. The mushroom radiatori was disappointing, not great flavor and not a mushroom to be found. If the sauce was supposed to be mushroom flavored then it didn't come through. I had the half chicken and smashed potatoes which were very good.

Great spot near TD Garden. The food (salmon and chicken) were perfectly cooked and flavorful, as well as the smashed potato and carrot appetizers. Stacy was very attentive and helpful in finding a gluten/dairy free meal. Seating is spread out so that even when the restaurant filled up, it was still not noisy.

Took extremely long time to get our entree. Got appetizers quickly, then hour gap before entrees arrived despite telling server we were trying to make event at TD. Monkfish croquets very salty. Otherwise food was good.
