Food was great and server was fantastic!! Definitely try the Cajun chicken rigatoni. Drinks were fantastic too especially the lei it on me and the heat check.
Great bar to go out with friends for cocktails and good music!!
Great drinks - Kerby is the best bartender
and math segatto is the beeeest dj!!!
Our waitress Rachel was fantastic! The food was delicious! We had the steak salad, buffalo chicken wrap and fish and chips.
Went for a casual date night on Sunday. Our server was very attentive and polite. Food and drinks were great.
Great for and great service. This place should be way busier than it was when we arrived. Everything ordered came out quickly and was as delicious as described. Will definitely be back.
Good drinks, fast service.

We had a delicious lunch here this weekend and will definitely return a 2nd time for more. Cool vibe inside, delicious food, fast and friendly service and comfortable seating.
Great time, as always! Was crowded but that's expected the day before the parade. Service was good considering how crowded it was.
My wife and I grabbed a dinner before the comedy show on a Friday at 4:30. Dress code said business casual and multiple people told us the food is great. As a clarification, the dress code is hoodies and hats. I guess we should have known. It's Southie after all. Food was A++
Bouncer was soooo mean! Made me (a girl) take a “lap around the block” for 15 minutes. God forbid

Bad service, food was bland and had a hair in it, coffee was not good, they sat us in the darkest part of the restaurant and most of the place was open.

Food and service was great. We had Robbie he was great! However, we were sat by the large window for brunch and it was sweltering hot from the sun shinning through the window to the point where it was blinding. We were all so uncomfortable sweating (when it was 30 degrees out) and when asked if we could lower the shade so we could see the person in front of us they said management doesn’t allow it. Management needs to fix this issue even the staff were holding their arms up to see just to take our order. Why management wouldn’t allow us to lower the blinds for their customers and staff comfort when they are sweating hot and can’t see is beyond me. It ruined our experience. Do better!!

If you’re going to playwright for brunch in the winter…dress for summer. Apparently, they have a BIZARRE “company policy” that does not allow the employees to pull the window shades down to block the sun. When you ask management as to why they cannot pull down the shade, they simply reply “it’s company policy there is nothing we can do.” SO if you plan to attend brunch here in the winter, simply DON’T and save yourself from sweating your ass off and go to the million other brunch restaurants nearby. This ruined our time eating and drinking because we were so hot. Respectfully, the policy is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
HOWEVER, Robbie is the best possible server at the restaurant. So if you have him, you’re in excellent hands!
