Made a dinner reservation for the outdoor patio… When my wife and I got there (just a minute early), the couple in front of us took the last outdoor spot. When pressed if we could sit outside they told us they couldn’t and sat us indoor. Not the end of the world, but at the end of the night, after receiving our bill (2 burgers and 2 beers) it came out to be $70 (before tip). We were taken back at how expensive a simple meal was. Not worth going back for us.

Ordered online with grubhub 2 hours before they close and the app said the meal was in the works only to find out an hour later from the grubhub driver that the restaurant wasnt even open??? Ridiculous and unproffessional that this mistake was even able to happen

It’s very expensive food for small portion sizes and limited quality. I spend $35 for a plate of Mac and Cheese and a beer. There also are very few veggie options and they are not well labeled on the menu. My roommate ordered the umami burger, which on the menu looks like a veggie burger, only to learn when it came out that it isn’t.I won’t be going back.

Had a great experience here with friends. The staff were exceedingly friendly and helpful and everything we ate was delicious. Ordering individually as you went made eating with a group easy. All the apps were filling and even though We filled up on nachos, wings, Brussels sprouts (amazing) and the wildly pink goat cheese and beet spread- I still had to order their award winning chicken sandwich. It was delicious. The ambiance and artwork created a chill vibe even if you just wanted to grab some beers. Anyway the point is go here it’s good ok bye.

So tasty (those sprouts!). So safe (sat outside but big open windows made inside seem safe too!). Wild selection of Amaro (best I’ve seen in Boston?!!)

The same great people that brought you Bergamot are crushing some casual gastro-pub goodness. If you’re looking for some tasty food, yummy beers (or wine) and a super chill time, definitely check it out.

This place may have some of the slowest service I’ve experienced in a long time. Went twice. Both times there was only two or three other tables besides us. We were only checked on once to get our original orders. Had to go find the server both times to ask for the check. Even saw some groups waiting to be seated walk out because they were not given any attention.The burger was great but the fried chicken was more like fried chicken skin. Almost no meet. Would not recommend.

Was just ok. The service was really slow and the food was terrible. Definitely disappointed.

We came for having a drink and dinner and ask the waiter for getting a table. He said that everything was occupied now and that we should come back in 15-20 min. However, we got suspicious by seeing many unoccupied tables and then realized that the place was closing 20 min later. We called and the people at the phone confirmed that they were closing shortly after. So basically a joke.

This review is specifically for their afternoon patio service, which I believe is different from their dinner menu/bar and service.Our experience started well when 2 of us sat outside on a nice day and had a friendly server who even gave our dog a treat and some attention. Great start.Ordered two margaritas which were very bland and tasted pre-made (turns out most of their daytime bar menu cocktails are pre-made, which would be great to tell patrons before they order them. I heard this first hand from the server speaking to another table).Ordered the beet root and goat cheese dip, which tasted ok but was not interesting by any means, except for the bright purple beet color. The crostinis were very hard and unpleasant to eat.As my partner was eating the dip she pulled a piece of plastic out of her mouth, that had apparently come from the bag that the pre-made dip came in.It took about 20 minutes before our server visited so we could inform about the plastic in the food. Then another 15 mins before the server's next visit. He had several tables to take care of, but I did notice there were at least 3 other staff members milling about the patio that did not appear to be serving guests. Our server was not exactly the definition of speed but was friendly. Personally I'd prefer a rude and fast server than a friendly slow one.We bought a few items from inside to support the artist community then went on our way. Would have liked to stay and have more food and beers but the experience was really not worth staying for, especially given the other options in the area.So to recap: bad premade drinks, plastic in the bland premade food, and slow service.I appreciate what they're going for and very much like the intent to support local artists, but I doubt I'll be going back for anything more than a beer. There are good ways to do a limited lunch/patio menu with good service, but this wasn't it.From what I can tell, dinner service has a full menu and bar so maybe that is a better experience. Not sure if I want to roll the dice with all the other excellent options in the area.Unfortunately, that brings us to only 2/5 stars.

Superb in dining experience. Safe with warm hospitality. Great food and drink. Charred vegetable hoummus was delicious. Pulled chicken ? was unusually moist + tender. Roasted baby carrots had great flavor.

I saw a review on this page about Mrs Christiana Morrison and I must confess that she's a good trader. she managed my account after I invested $500 I got $7,500 within 6 day's of successful investment, she is really a helper who is an expert in trading it's your choice to trust ......your money is

Bergamot no longer exists...when it was around we did the tasting menu...they did not prioritize the tasting menu and we waited 45 min between dishes. It was not an enjoyable experience.
