My friend and I shared the chicken sandwich (which was good) and the haddock with shrimp risotto. The risotto was very bland and the fish didn’t have much flavor either.

We love this place. The staff are friendly and actually have gone to the trouble of remembering our names and greeting us when we arrive. The quinoa-mushroom veggie burger is probably the best veggie burger I've had anywhere.

We had an awesome burger. This is the second time we’ve been there and both times we ordered the burger. I like you can order a salad instead of French fries if you’re trying to be a little bit healthier. The other entrees look great too. The our server was outstanding. She was helpful and friendly.

Not impressed - the seafood chowder for $14 had far more potatoes than seafood. The $38 scallop plate had 5 3/4” scallops on a large base of risotto - way overpriced! Service was ok.

Food was garbage appetizers were cold and bland/ uneditable as a Newton resident I would never eat this slop again drinks were mediocre the bartenders really need to learn how to make a drink as well as there was no effort, made or acknowledgment that it was someone’s birthday. The waitresses are dumber than bricks and oblivious when it says it, especially under the reservation.

There were plenty of open tables but the host sat very loud children right beside our table. It made for a poor dining experience.
