The service was abysmal. From the moment we walked in. We were ignored by staff, including the hostess who was also our waitress. Never asked if we wanted water and the glasses sat on the table throughout our meal. The food was great but the drinks were terrible. Very disappointed.

Unfortunately, the restaurant looked and seemed understaffed. We had an early reservation in which we swapped sitting at a table to enjoy dinner at the bar. We received our drinks and our meal and were never checked on again. We finally were able to flag down to order another round but after taking an additional 15 minutes, we opted for the check and paid our bill and left.

Made a reservation for drinks and food. When getting to restaurant they told me that they were not able to do food because they were short staffed. Heads up would’ve been nice when making the reservation days in advance

We had a post-basketball game dinner reservation through OpenTable for 8:45. We hurried through crowds around Garden, to arrive and be informed that due to an emergency in the kitchen, the restaurant was closed. It would have been appreciated if either OpenTable or Bullfinch messaged us beforehand so that we could have made other plans.

Disorganized and slow. It is hard to know where you are supposed to go when you walk in the door because there is no hostess station. The food was decent, although my husband said his mashed potatoes tasted like Hungry Jack out of the box!😂 Won’t go again.

Service was very poor. People were nice but I think they put an inexperienced person on too many tables on a Saturday night
