Great location in the middle of Back Bay with the trees and blue sky above. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and professionally attentive. The salad of watermelon, cucumber and mint was delicious and have told friends about it already.

The overall quality of everything we ordered was good with the exception of the turkey pot pie which was SO salty and had barely any turkey or hush puppy topping. Cocktails were delicious. Service was really friendly but slow. It took over ten minutes to get the check after we asked for it and all our entrees came out at different times. By the time the last one came out, almost everyone else was done eating.

Really enjoyed the biscuits and fried chicken thighs. Really tasty! Didn’t love the shrimp and grits - just a bit too much sauce and salt for us but others may love that. Had a few MA oysters which were nicely served. And swordfish was tasty too. Cocktails were small and pricey. Enjoyed the outdoor patio which is a few feet below street level.

Our food came out really fast, so we weren’t able to enjoy a cocktail first. The food was delicious though.

Fried chicken was good, biscuits were weird- savory but sweet, still not sure if we liked them or not. We got the graham bread pudding dessert and it was the oddest dessert I’ve ever had. The flavors made no sense together, and the milk whipped topping had the texture and feel of butter, but tasted like a less flavorful version of cream cheese- do not recommend that. Overall service was ok, our server was not very friendly, but not rude either, just meh. Bartenders were nice though.

We had four of us at the table. Our server was very attentive and explained the tapas experience. We ordered several things from the menu jut from their descriptions. Everything came out pretty quickly. ALL the food was fantastic. From the fried chicken and sauce to the watermelon salad which had an amazing flavor profile. It was a bit complex and delicious. The nachos were perfection with much crunchiness and the toppings of brisket was smoking mixing well with the avocado cream. The shrimp and grits was also very tasty with a nice bit of spice. Everything was fresh and fabulous. I can't wait to go back and try more!!!
