The food and drinks were great. It’s near Davis Square and the T Station. I haven’t eaten in this place for a long while now and so far everything is still

Excellent fresh large Wellfleet 1 oysters all day Monday. The duck confit Baos are delicious too. Highly recommend this place. During is quiet but Monday is best for the oysters.

I’ve eaten here a few times and it’s always been good. The food is good, service is good, the atmosphere is good, and I’d recommend it as a solid choice for any occasion. Not too fancy, not too basic, not too eclectic, not too sports, not too expensive... just about right for anything.

I love love pretzels so much I ordered their huge pretzel I got it unsalted and that wasn’t a problem at all! So now I can go there for take out and get a unsalted pretzel. Our waitress was awesome, hostess was kind and friendly def worth it. The drinks were great prices reasonable no complaints here.
