Jeremy ComeauMay 9, 2010Had my first raw oyster here...food and service was excellent! Can't wait for round two!
Cole TJune 19, 2017Okay oysters, decent food. Beer list was average for Boston. Pricey for what you get!
My fav drink: Southside. Must try: the charcuterie platter.

AceNovember 13, 2011The leaf salad add shrimp will ring in as $17 when it says $15 in the menu. BEWARE ! And ask the manager to correct it while they rip everyone else off.
Matthew KearneyMarch 8, 2011They tend to undercook the meat so ask for it more well done than you usually would
Mia RommelAugust 29, 2010Awesome crab cakes, terrible service. I felt like i was inconvienicing them by coming here. Waitresses stood together talking while we were waiting to give our order or ask for a drink refill.
The beef wellington small plate has apples in it. De-lish.
