HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! On a busy Saturday night, there was no server or hostess, and the bartender was the only one taking care of tables. Service was slow and felt disorganized. Even though we were just a table of two, they automatically added an 18% gratuity, which didn’t feel justified. What seem to be the manager came out to tables as we were finishing up and she did not act professional!
The food was overpriced, and the steak was completely raw despite asking for medium rare. Definitely not what I expected, especially for DineOut Boston. I’ve had way better meals elsewhere—won’t be coming back.

We were making reservations. In the end at the entrance several times informed about it. We were ignored by the waitress girl, after she showed us to the table I ordered a glass of champagne for 16$ and caesar salad for 16. The menu was poor, the waitress clearly did not want to work with us although we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food is unpalatable. Then $20 was included in the bill as a tip. Although it is not clear why, we kept calling her ourselves. We went to pay the bill to the counter because we were ignored! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ESTABLISHMENT

This restaurant is AMAZING! The service was excellent and the food was something I've never experienced before in my life - Absolutely delicious and left me wanting more, even though I was already full... I'll be dreaming of the Tuna Crudo, Brazilian Moqueca and hand crafted cocktails... I look forward to our next visit to the Seaport and will definitely be back. Kudos to your F&B team!

Wonderful experience. Food was excellent. We had clam chowder and gnocchi. The bar tender helped us with drinks and our food. She was very polite, social, and accommodating of a few irregular requests. The food service was very fast compared to prior experiences at similar restaurants.

This restaurant was just ok. My husband and I made reservations through this app, but didn't need to. There were really only people at the bar (it was a Thursday night). So no one was at the stand and the poor bartender was taking care of everyone in the place (she did a great job!). We started with the beef carpaccio, which had so much vinaigrette on it that you couldn't taste the beef. My husband said his smash burger was good, but the steak in my steak frites wasn't great. It was very very chewy. The desserts were excellent, but they only had 2 available. Overall, we found it overpriced and wouldn't eat there again.
We had an awesome time here. It was a little strange to feel like we were sitting at a fine dining restaurant in a lobby, but they did a try great job with the space. The food was phenomenal. Drinks were excellent. Our waiter was so funny and welcoming. Service was really good. Definitely worth another visit when we are in the area.
