I have never been treated so rudely at a restaurant before. We had a reservation for my birthday and were rushed the entire time (I assume they overbooked). We didn’t feel welcome and it made for a very uncomfortable and unpleasant experience. Even through the food was delicious, I would never return.

Worst restaurant experience we have had in a long time. So bad that it deserves a review & warning. We had a Sat. night reservation for my sister’s birthday. We have young kids at home, she is going through a divorce and we were so excited for a nice evening out. However, the evening was basically ruined because we were so rushed the entire time. The host was starting at us, rolling his eyes, constantly asking if we were done, took all of our plates away even though my sister was still eating her dinner. I’ve never been this rushed or treated this way at a restaurant before. We were there for a whopping 2 hours, nothing crazy. They were so incredibly rude to us, specifically the male host at 5pm last Saturday night. Maybe stop over-booking your reservations…just an idea! Food was great, but unfortunately we won’t be back.

Nice atmosphere and delicious food but staff was so rude it felt otherworldly. Attitudes all dialed up to 100%. The host have had the opposite of a greeting and literally had a face on like he smelled something bad. Would not personally go again even though food was very good because I think life is too short to have people giving you that sort of attitude as a patron.

The wait staff was awesome. Super attentive and it felt there was a whole team dedicated to keeping your glass filled, new silverware for each course, etc. The Kale Salad we will return for again and again. The Squid ink wasn’t our favorite but I think it’s more that we didn’t realize we didn’t like saffron with ink. The attention to detail is noticed and makes it feel both elevated and local at the same time.

We had an amazing meal in this cosy, warm and welcoming joint right in the middle of Newton centre. We went without a reservation and sat at the bar. The food was perfect in every way which does not happen frequently and when it does – it is a great experience. The cavatelli was outstanding. Same with the porkchops. The deserts were great too. The staff were attentive , and at the same time knowledgeable about what was on offer. The manager too was extremely nice and offered us some very helpful advice on the venue itself. All said, this is a place that one can keep going back to. Parking: Generally enough spots except during weekends

Had a wonderful birthday dinner with a friend here - absolutely wonderful experience. The service was spectacular; we had a series of people who came to the table to talk about food and wine, then order takers and delivery service. It felt like a really high-end restaurant but was cozy, warm, and friendly. Honestly, if I could eat here every day, I would!

Definitely NOT the best (THE Best? Really???) in Boston as some have allegedly claimed. Not even close!!! FRAUDULENT claim! FALSE ADVERTISING! Just an OK suburban restaurant. The chicken was actually slightly overcooked. Not tender. The other dishes were good but not special. Not earth shattering. When the host showed us the table, he just made a head gesture vs saying graciously “this way please” or “Please follow me.” And our belated Valentine’s Day celebration note was not acknowledged at all. Will NEVER go back! They will not acknowledge your celebrations! Why spend our money there??? When there are actually many great restaurants in Boston Cambridge with perfectly executed food and attentive hospitality! Will delete the food photos I took with my Canon mirrorless camera and not post: NOT Instagram worthy restaurant.

My favorite restaurant in Massachusetts. David Punch is a genius in terms of food. The service and food are out of this world.

Sat at the bar with a friend. I dine out a lot and enjoy sitting at the bar in a restaurant because it generally has a friendly vibe. Not with this bartender. Snarky is the word that comes to mind. I worked in restaurants many years ago and my family had two restaurants on the Cape. This bartender would have been tossed. It’s a shame because the food is good but his obnoxious attitude is too off putting. If you can’t handle the pace of a busy bar while being affable-get out of business!
