Restaurant was quite nice and had amazing views of the city from your table. Service was friendly and attentive. All the items we had were delicious and seemed really fresh. Meal was included as part of the package we bought to go up to View Boston to see the city from the top of the Pru, definitely worth the cost of the package.
we enjoyed the restaurant after touring the terrace above and it was such a pleasant experience. we had espresso martinis, they offer a dark, creamy, and hazelnut. they were delicious! for an appetizer we had the bruschetta flatbread and i think it was a great portion. i ordered the burrata pasta and added chicken, so good! i would dine here again and try some other food items 😊
We just popped in on a whim for something sweet for my birthday, with our small children. Staff was very kind and helpful even though it was right before closing, we ordered drinks and a dessert, and they gave me the dessert for free for my birthday!
It was a quick trip but everyone enjoyed the visit!
