This was my first time visiting this restaurant in town, and the restaurant came highly recommended by a friend, and it absolutely delivered. The food completely blew me away. Every dish was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful, which is even more impressive considering how new the restaurant is. I'm honestly still dreaming about this place and would eat here every night if I could. The atmosphere was packed and lively but not too loud, exactly what I wanted for a Saturday night dining experience. And a special shoutout to the manager; she was an absolute angel. Can't wait to come back!

I definitely recommend this restaurant!

And we interacted with neighboring tables on both sides to recommend (when asked) the oysters, and when one received a drink with a big smoke bubble that created a magical flow of smoke when it burst. French inspired drinks and food were fantastic and interesting. The French 75 menu was so interesting-- choose your flavor and your bubbles. I tried two, the classic with rosé was so pretty, and the honey lavender with base level champagne was delicious. The raw oysters were to die for! Perfect little pop of acidity with other flavors delicately added and perfectly balanced. The oysters Rockefeller were also perfectly delicious. The foie gras is not something I would normally eat, but my boyfriend loves that stuff so we went with it. I enjoyed it more than he did. It was not a classic foie gras, it was smoother with a creamier texture and more buttery flavor. Eating it with the fig jam and "light as clouds" toast made it absolutely delicious! I enjoyed every minute and mouthful--would definitely seek this place out again even though I live an hour away! We enjoyed ourselves too much to take pictures!

The lychee martini was a little too sweet and the chai martini was too milky for my liking. There are a lot of interesting cocktails on the menu so I'd like to try something different next time. For food I ordered the Samosa Bliss and the iron pan (kadhai) hit with paneer and a side of garlic naan. The samosas were delicious: crispy on the outside and well-seasoned on the inside with a tangy sauce. The paneer was excellent in terms of portion size and texture. I would have preferred basmati rice with the entree instead of the yellow rice and more garlic on the naan, but overall it was a satisfying meal. There isn't a dessert menu but they have a case with a variety of Indian sweets. Service was very attentive and felt like you were eating at a family's home. Lots of nearby street parking. As with many older New England buildings, the entrance is a little tight and has a few steps so it may be difficult for some people to enter. I look forward to visiting again!

I love the arancini here, the flavors do change as a special. Entrees are excellent, never had a bad meal here, but food is definitely filling. The real star is the martini menu.

Keep in mind you will have to place all apps and main course all at once. I believe there a time limit for dinner but our waitress was super cool and did not mentioned it any time until the end. So my wife and I didn't feel rushed which was nice. Drinks are very good here! We tried few different drinks and all of them were excellent. Food here was on the money. Everything we ordered was tasteful, no complaints. We ordered the long bone steak . Recommend. Going into this restaurant we figure it will be pricey, which is fine for quality and experience. Business attire is required according to the website which I'm ok with. If you're looking for quality food and don't mind paying for it , this is the place. For me , it was worth it and had such a great time. I'd go back again. Steak lovers give it a shot ! Why not

We knew that they were very good at handling large groups, and we were treated once again to excellent and attentive service by our server, Gabi, and the hostess, Mariana. We arrived at 6:00 PM and were given the time to linger, closing the restaurant at about 9:15. The entire evening was leisurely and allowed for conversation between courses, including a nice break for coffee and dessert. We enjoyed and shared a variety of the small plates (which are not at all small, in reality): Mussels, Calamari, Falafel a la Petros, Greek Fries, Greek Salad (Horiatiki), Cauliflower, Mushrooms, Baked Feta, and Taramosalata. Our party chose beers and also shared the Decoy Cabernet and the La Crema Chardonnay. The main courses were all very pleasing, and managed to satisfy the vegetarians and those who need to avoid gluten. Among us, with some sharing, we had the lamb shank, the mushroom pappardelle, the Moroccan crusted tuna, the blackened salmon, the gnocchi & burrata, the baked eggplant, and the roasted chicken. The service was excellent. Gabi was careful to allow everyone to finish each course before removing any plates, which really encouraged sharing and made us feel like family guests. One of my pet peeves at restaurants is when servers begin to clear plates and cutlery while others are still eating. We had eaten so well that we shared just 3 desserts with our espressos and Greek coffees: Molten Chocolate Cake, Galactobouriko, and Ekmek. We lingered over desserts and had great conversation, since we had guests from England and western Massachusetts and we really needed time to chat. At no point did Gabi or Mariana make is feel that we needed to leave. It was a great evening!
