Sam Winnick: Awesome new brunch spot. Beautiful decor and great food. The Mac has a fried egg and bacon!!
Boston.com: The new hearth oven truly earns its keep is something humble: roast chicken, redolent of rosemary and pepper, served in a cast-iron skillet with potatoes. Also hard to beat: pulled pork flatbread. Read more.
Christine A: The burger here is amazing, even better than the Bristol lounge in the four seasons...

Tricia: Vibrant & hip, service here is incredibly friendly, food is surprisely delicate & tasty for a late night menu. Old school cocktails like Sloegin Fizz & Collins makes for an exciting dining experience.
BostonTweet: The Franklin Cafe has O'Hara's Irish Stout on draft for $5 and they serve really good food until 1:30am. It honestly doesn't get any better than that.

The Taste Sheriff: I love the Capital Grille and this is my favorite location. Consistently top notch service and food. Try the delmonico steak with rubbed porcini, the truffle friend, and the lobster mac n cheese!!
Fred Aubrey: I got your sauce right here.
Chris Pape: Get a Doli at the bar from Ross and Kelly, best bartenders in Boston hands down.
Frank Delgado: Amazing! We had oysters which were fresh and light, mussels with chorizo were tasty and smoky. Lobster bisque was OK, a little too much heavy cream. Salmon and lobster roll were were amazing.
Jacob Ford: Have a lot of fun with the magnetic check boards.

Nicholas Bessette: A fantastic, curated but diverse menu that will appeal to carnivores, herbivores and anyone in between! I love the decor and vibe - so mid-century modern chic. Can’t wait to go back again.
Sara Mills: Power bowl was so good and it was huge! I don’t recommend the buffalo cauliflower it was greasy and soggy
