I have a nut allergy and typically have anxiety when it comes to ordering at places I haven't eaten before.

And 1/2 way through eating he came by just to check on us! The ambiance was amazing as well, huge windows and right on the water.

INTRO: Came here with a full group of colleagues from out of…read morestate, one of those company dinners where everything is covered and you just get to enjoy the experience. Safe to say, I was more than happy to be included in this one. SERVICE: For a busy Thursday night with a party of around 15, the staff handled things impressively well. Food came out in a timely manner, no confusion, no chaos. They were friendly, attentive, and actually knew the menu, offering solid recommendations without overcomplicating it. Managing a group that size is not easy, and they made it look smooth. AMBIANCE: This place leans more Boston bar energy than traditional fine dining, and that is part of the charm. It was packed, a little tight at times, but it felt alive. You are not coming here for quiet elegance, you are coming for the buzz, the movement, and that shared experience of a packed room enjoying great food together. FOOD: We went all in and ordered family-style, almost tapas style, sharing everything across the table. Squid ink pasta, black pasta, fried calamari, grilled octopus, dish after dish hitting the table. Everything was delicious, but what really stood out was the sauce. The broths, the richness, the depth of flavor, that is what stayed with me. I found myself talking about it mid-meal, and I was not the only one. At one point, people were practically trying to drink the sauce straight from the plate. That is when you know it is hitting on another level. You know you're doing a good job when you put much thought down to how you make your sauces and broths. I was impressed from both a top down and bottom up level of culinary experience. IMPRESSIONS: I need to come back here to on more sauces and broths.

Cozy little Italian restaurant in Boston. We came to Boston early on our road trip with the sole…read morepurpose of eating dinner here and was very glad we got there early, as there was already a line forming by restaurant open. The combination of it being limited seating (it holds less than 20 people) and being a popular spot makes it quite hard to get in without a long wait, so I would recommend right when it opens. Food wise, we got the Squid Ink Pasta and Calamari. The calamari was the perfect combination of crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside, which I find a lot of restaurants don't do a great job of doing. The squid ink pasta was also delicious and on par with any quality Italian restaurants in NYC. I would come back again if I'm ever in the Boston area and want a nice Italian restaurant. Also this place is CASH ONLY so be prepared before coming.

The kitchen is right next to the dining area so you can watch the chef in action. All the dishes were flavorful but I'd say my top dish was the clam pasta.

There is an ATM here but it has a fee. Cash is king, always have some on you for instances such as this.

I've been going here for years and it is consistently delicious. My favorites are the Tokyo roll, lady in red, spicy girl, pats roll, spicy tuna, volcano..ok pretty much everything is good. I order online and my food is always ready quickly and picking it up is a breeze. Since it's take out only it's never too crowded inside, so it's cool to see them prepare the rolls.

Never tried out this chain despite living in the area for over a decade, so when an out of town…read morefriend came to visit and enthused about it based on hearsay, could not say no. Turns out, it's about what you can expect from this type of chain: good service, very pleasant ambiance...and thoroughly mediocre, overpriced food. Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it came directly from Sysco. Previously I had tried the "Legal Seafoods Clam Chowder" sold at Costco, and found it to be very so-so compared to the "Captain Parker's" version sold at Market Basket. I was hoping the in-restaurant version would be much better. Wrong. Probably the most appalling thing about the food here were the fries, which come with most of the dishes unless you specifically ask for a substitute. I was glad that I did, because when I tasted my friend's fries, they were just about the most dry, bland, doughy-like frozen fries you could imagine. Only thing you can do with fries like that is to oversalt the bejesus out of them, and drown them in ketchup. Best thing we (party of 4) had was the Steak Salad---but when the menu says "petit sirloin" you dang better believe they MEAN "petit," lol ... it was about 3-4 mouthfuls tops! Really more of an appetizer worth $15 at most, not the $28 normal entree pricing. Fish and chips were particularly dismal---the fish was tasteless, most likely frozen just like the horrible fries. I've had better fish and chips from humble diner type places like Mike's Roast Beef in Everett, for Chrissakes. Hell, even Friendly's Fish and Chips doesn't seem that bad in comparison, lol. Swordfish and trout were somewhat less bad, but also suffered from the avalanche of cardboard fries. Anyways, now I know: I wasn't missing anything all these years.

We'd definitely return the next time we're in Boston. Cheers!

We also had the clam chowder which was rich and bacony, and a flatbread and the scallops. Everything was delicious, but quite overpriced, and I think next time I would try to stick to the oysters and clam chowder. Ambience is nice hotel restaurant/bar. Service is friendly but they were very disorganized (tried to serve us things we didn't order or had already received not once, but twice!) and this was a quiet Thursday before dinner. I would come back because of easy parking and yummy dollar oysters. I wish there were more things to do around this area, but then I guess parking wouldn't be so easy.
