Chris P.Chris Patti: This place has superb pub grub - the roast chicken is my personal fave, and a great beer selection! They always have beer from Honest Weight, a western MA brewery you don't see much in Boston!

Allison D.Allison D.: Go with the small plates because they are all delicious. Smile at your cute server a lot (your server will be cute - everyone who works here is attractive).

Brian M.Brian Moore: Good brunch. Duck confit hash features a sous vide-poached egg. Don't be afraid of its perceived undercookedness—it's been cooked to exactly the right temperature. Yum.
