   Book this because of the great reviews but unfortunately it’s not the same experience I got. Went 5 minutes ,early on my reservation , hostess welcome is not as warmed , she ask me if I am alone , and yes I booked for 1 , then she ask if I want a table or sit on the bar, I choose to have a table but I end up seating under the stairs , where empty chairs filed up, together with a lot of paper bags with ladies shoes , I don’t say anything until someone come to me and I ask her , can I just sit at the bar, I moved to the bar , order Negroni- comes in very sweet , I ask for sparkling water and look at the menu, got the duck satay expecting to be on skewers but duck comes in dice and seared - fat not even rendered properly , comes with the sauce taste like a raw gochujang paste , comes also with a white toast bread - breakfast toast . I had the steamed Bransino for main, comes in quick and sauce was too salty . I felt like every was rush . Negroni finish, water finish, not even offering a second round of drinks, juts right after my meal finish not even a seconds they gave me the bill , I left with out dessert . I think they are rushing to make covers but compromising service and experience . Not recommended for foodies.

   Great find! Everyone in our party LOVED their food. Unique dishes and lots of variety. Server was a bit f St low but was very friendly. Kids said it was best food they had in. Boston. Husband was super impressed with his cod! My hamburger was great… but it was a bit spicy for me.

   Great food, cocktails, service, and vibe. If you’re trying to get to the theater on time or just spend a night enjoying a fabulous place this is it! I’ll be back for sure.

   We wanted to try out a new place and this ended up being a great choice. Cool vibe inside and very interesting and delicious Thai food. Would recommend and return definitely

   Very creative, eccentric dishes. But both the dishes we ordered definitely were sweetened (MSG?) so not what I'd consider fresh, natural food. Definitely an interesting atmosphere with interesting decor. We're just looking for less processed, more naturally tasting dishes. I'm sure this place is a hit with the younger generations!

    Good but the appetizers were unimpressive and all servings (even mains) were soooo insanely small I laughed. Left hungry
