Was served the late night menu even though it was only 8:30pm but maybe they changed the time they serve the late night menu? Service was slow. Wanted another glass of wine but I waited 15 minutes after I finished dinner till someone checked in for me to grab another. I think the service could improve with some training because I see potential. The food was very mediocre. Won’t be trying again.

I don’t usually make reviews but this place deserves way more business than it seemingly gets right now. The food is amazing, especially for the price.
I did notice a shortage of FOH staff and I felt bad for the ones on shift because they were running around a lot, but still didn’t miss a beat given what they had for support.
I really hope they do trivia or comedy nights, something to draw business and get some help for the FOH staff.
This place has more than enough potential to grow and become a new neighborhood favorite and I really hope it does.

A disappointing experience in a really nice space. I really want to like this place—love the train going by the windows and the spacious interior. Both times I’ve been, however, the food has been just ok and the service was lacking. Even though both times I’ve been the place was pretty empty (weekend dinner service, fwiw), the service took forever and wasn’t welcoming. The atmosphere was a little all over the place—felt cheap with paper menus and sort of amateurish live music. Food was all-around not bad but nothing special: soggy burgers, bland pasta, and tasty but floppy pizza. Pretty good appetizers. Drinks were fine, but also took a while. We also ran out of water at our table for a while without anyone coming over. They seemed understaffed and lacking enthusiasm—hopefully they can make some improvements because I’d love to come back to this spot.
Amazing service and incredible food! 11/10

I haven't been here since the soft opening so I was excited to dine. Was seated immediately and given water by host. After 7/10mins of no wait staff coming to our table noticeably the bartender jumped in and came to our table to take our order. Ordered the mussels and they were average. Sauce could have been thicker with more flavor. I ordered the smash burger well done and it was pink. The waitress did go back and say something to the cook however the damage was done. I wanted nothing else. Just disappointed. The bartender Luis was very apologetic which was very appreciative. He definitely showed compassion and tried super hard to see if there was anything he could do to change the experience. The kitchen manager didnt take the constructive criticism to well and should be retrained on customer service etiquette and mannerisms. And had the audacity to brag and say he was the manager of several restaurants in the area. Well you definitely need to learn to speak to ppl in a professional manner. But I now know why it's empty in there!!

Looks like a good game day spot. Came in for lunch, had a very tasty (and very big) chicken avocado wrap. Great service from the bartender.

Came for dinner on a Sunday night (Labor Day weekend) and it was practically empty! There was only 1 server for the entire restaurant, who was hosting, seating and taking orders for all tables! Super understaffed, which is unfortunate.. because the food was spectacular! Shared the Maine mussels with a friend, and the broth was delicious. We each had the pan roasted chicken for dinner with mashed potatoes puree and vegetable medley, all cooked to perfection, moist, and extremely flavorful! A truly fantastic meal, in a large building with beautiful architecture. The commuter rail buzzed by within feet of the building - felt very neat to be eating in a historic train station.
We watched as a line formed at the host stand, and the singular server couldn't seat folks fast enough. There was even a family party that was eventually seated, but left before ordering because of the very slow service. It's a shame, because the food was worth coming back for, but there weren't enough staff.
IF YOU NEED A JOB, COME WORK HERE! Keep this place alive!

This was one of the worst places I’ve been to in a loooong time. We came with a group of friends and there were only a couple other tables there. However, it took 25-30 minutes to get our food. Nothing came out together, so we were all eating separately. By the time my girlfriend and I got our food, other people were done eating since we didn’t want them to wait and let their food get cold. Some people waited 35 minutes for a salad. We had nothing to drink, the servers never checked on us. The mashed potatoes tasted spoiled, the Caesar was made with old lettuce and the deviled eggs tasted like vinegar. When I finally got my pizza, it wasn’t even warm. We couldn’t even complain about it since the servers were always nowhere to be found until they wanted to drop the check. Avoid this place!
