Populairste bistro's in Back Bay

From the moment we walked in it was amazing- staff, drinks, escargot, dinner and dessert did not disappoint!

My partner and I came her two years ago when we were visiting Boston and decided to come back this year since we were back in town. We always sit at the countertop and always have fabulous service and amazing food! The Oysters, Hamachi Crudo, Mussels, Beet Salad, and Halibut are our favorites! John, Ben and Angel Daniel were amazing servers! Looking forward to coming back next time we are in town!

For drinks, we ordered hot toddies - they were perfectly lemony and spicy for this freezing winter day. For food, we ordered buttermilk biscuits, a west-coast style omelette, and a brisket hash - all the food came out hot and delicious. Both plates came with home fries, and they are top notch here. Will definitely be back again!

The restaurant was not busy on a Wednesday noon. Diego our server was attentive and pleasant. The food, fried chicken sandwiches ($20) was tasty. Wine ($16) and beer ($13) were fine but pricey. The view is magnificent. We enjoyed our leisurely meal. I imagine it is a different experience when the place is crowded as they said it often is. Strangely everyone was friendly except the hostess who greeted us initially. We arrived 2 minutes before noon and she scowled and told us to wait outside. Go figure.

This was an overall great experience. Service and food were great and the seating comfortable. When we arrived we were struck by the very high noise level which sometimes makes it hard for a conversation. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday evening. All the staff was very friendly, cheerful and efficient. Thank you!
