Reviews
"A must visit when in south end, an uptown vibrant cafe in heart of the city, serving delicious food and good drinks! Slightly higher on price, but a decent spot if you want to have that 11pm-12am dinner. The chicken in 20 garlic cloves is the DISH I’D GO BACK FOR A MILLION TIMES. Otherwise the Franklin Burger is also a must try! The bartenders make fire cocktails! Manager Sean endured a very good experience in general, go there alone or with a couple of friends and you’ll have a great time!"
"What a great spot, one of the first I've been to since moving to Boston with this vibe and atmosphere. It is a slightly darker ambiance with great music, and excellent service. The food is fantastic. The grilled calamari is one of the best items I've had in the city, and their take on pierogi is also excellent. The spicy green beans are really worth trying, and the ravioli are tremendous. Will definitely be back, hard to imagine being disappointed by anything on the menu"
"Phenomenal customer service and the food is high-quality. My food was cooked just right. What you see in the pictures that they advertise is exactly how the food looks in person. I didn’t feel like I needed to modify anything. Customer service is amazing. They are good at accommodating those with allergies. The café is very sanitary. I feel safe eating there again. I highly recommend. I have had takeout and I dined in."
"Delicious brunch!!! I ate here last Sunday with my daughters, aged 4 and 9. We enjoyed several delicious dishes. Great music, great service, low key vibe. Definitely going back! Food we ordered starting with favorites first: Corn beef hash and eggs New England apple cider donuts Breakfast sandwich Yogurt and berries Farm Benedict with spinach Yum!"
