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.

One of the best burgers I’ve had, unfortunately was really difficult to talk to my girlfriend throughout dinner because the acoustics suck, wasn't really even busy but was very loud

I enjoyed the lavender-honey glazed salmon with lentils and the smoky skillet roasted mussels were so tasty we even sucked on the shells! Good to be back on the street where I grew up. The slow burn was good too. Our waitress Sofie was super attentive.

Amazing service, particularly for my food allergies. Lovely outdoor dining out in front of the restaurant, though weather permitting without even umbrellas available. Trees provide shade to certain tables. And the food was good too – enjoyed the chicken with 20 cloves!

Haven't been there in years but it was fantastic. I just wish you would invest in some sound dampening materials. Soooooooo darn loud!!
