I was so happy to have tried this place. Parking was easy and they have a great patio.

Very solid place with a few standout dishes like the sea trout dips, but not everything on the menu was amazing as the other reviews make it out to be. The sea trout dips are very unique and a must, and we liked the crispy chicken too. The crispy hen of the woods, squid ink pasta and beets were okay. The gnocchi was pretty bad.

To be honest, I don’t know how to feel about it. The restaurant is very accommodating to dietary needs and restrictions. However, I think that the menu is more “New American”, California style rather than Mediterranean.

This is an overrated resturant and overpriced. The “share plate “ way of doing business shared with many other restaurants in Boston is a great idea for the resturant not for the people who are paying a full price for half of the qty. extremely limited wine selection and not very prestige list. For is ok .. some plates are better than other (frittura is deep fried and the plate seems big but really is very small with very cheap food… OK for a street food track but not for a restaurant). Pasta was pretty testy but not Italian (cook the pasta correctly !).

Amazing restaurant on Drydock, same building as America’s Test Kitchen. You may get some celebrity sight seeing if you are lucky.

Really a fantastic spot for dinner in Boston. Very nice, modern and comfy setting in the Design Center. Staff was excellent and attentive, drinks were well made – and the food is best in class. We stuck with four small plates for two people – and we’re very pleased! Will be back!

My second visit after a year. We had some pleasant surprises and disappointments. They expanded the menu now includes four entrees. We had the slow roasted duck, which was smokey and tender. It was significantly better than the fried chicken that we tried the first time. The appetizers, small plates, and pasta dishes were excellent. The squid ink fusili was a bit too salty. The big disappointment was the dessert menu. The strawberry tart was fine, except it tasted like something you could buy from whole foods, for half the price. The baked alaska that we tried the first time looked and tasted like an environmental disaster. No flames, and molted. Service was okay. Would not return unless they hire a new pastry chef.
