    Our server started out great. Nice folks seated next to us but seating is tight. Bibb pea and radicchio salad was mostly radicchio and not sure any peas. Never a fan of places where you have to purchase your bread.

    Service was absolutely horrible - we were not greeted for 20 minutes and didn’t have a server throughout the meal. We had to get up and flag someone down for everything we needed.

    We had dinner on Boston Marathon weekend so there were large crowds in Boston. So the restaurant was very busy hence my selecting "energetic" for the noise level. Usually, it is very quiet but the large crowd increase that a bit. This was not an issue for us.

    The food was mediocre and expensive for what you got. The Lamb Kofta was dry, with a small portion served. We were seated near the main door which was draughty and had a continuous stream of people coming and going which disrupted the meal. The service was good and the location is lavish and very energetic/atmospheric. For the price paid, I would not return to this restaurant.

    The food was terribly disappointing. For a $68 ribeye, you expect something special; what I got was literally the thinnest steak I’ve ever eaten at a restaurant and a “mushroom ketchup” that tasted more like A1 Sauce than anything else. At my first bite, I felt transported to Sizzler, circa 1987. It was cooked correctly, but that’s about it. My wife got the stuffed game hen, which came out as a tube of stuffing—crispy on the outside, but the hen itself was pounded so flat that you could barely taste it. The stuffing was…fine, I guess, but not great. Sides on both dishes were uninspired. And service was terrible. The waiter left us sitting with no drinks for very long periods, and after we called him over, he curtly said “what do you want?” Overall, really disappointing for such a nice setting.
