Very trendy design, enjoy the elevator ride from the bar to the dining floor where you see the restaurant’s entire collection of wines. bread was fantastic, offered 3 different types, and all the food ranged from very good to excellent. it’s a nice place to splurge on a romantic date, and also a decent spot to hit if you’re a foodie with some extra cash laying around.

The decor was chic, the food was decent, and the crowd gravitates towards 30+. The wine selection and bar were excellent. Highlights include possibly the best bread basket in Boston and the glass wine rack elevator. Recommendations: don’t skip the raw menu items and wear business casual attire. Note to the money conscious: the markup on wines at this restaurant is close to 200% and drinks from the bar average around $14.
