We had a 6PM reservation on Saturday Oct 11. We walked past it a couple of times due to scaffolding over the sidewalk, lol. We were seated right away (we were a few minutes late). Our server was great. I had a cider, she had some wine. We ordered to steak egg rolls which were yummy but nothing special. The arancini we ordered were not very good. Bland. We split the huge cheeseburger pizza. Yummy and messy. We could not finish it. The place looks great. It wasn't very busy.

We went to Scholars as part of Boston Dine Out Week lunch. The location is off the Common, so easy to get to. Hot day, midweek, factors possibly enabled us to find metered parking within a 2 minute walk. The venue is very nice, although not one stall in the ladies could lock. My G&T was delicious! The 3 course prix fixe had excellent ingredients. The fried fish cake with a slaw was served nice and hot, and was a great comdination. The salmon and shrimp ( particularly the latter)...

The restaurant was almost completely empty when we walked in for dinner, the atmosphere was beautiful and the music was amazing, however a very large and loud group of runners came in at about 9pm and caused us to have to leave as they were all shouting and we couldn't hear eachother at all!! Completely understandable due to the nature of the place however disappointing considering they were all stood in the dining area rather than in another area of the place.
