What made the experience even more special was the hospitality. After the Tanglewood concert on a Sunday night, the staff recognized that many concertgoers were looking for a place to eat and graciously stayed open later to accommodate everyone. That level of customer service is rare and speaks volumes about how much they care about their guests. Outstanding food, exceptional hospitality, and an experience I'll be talking about for a long time. I can't wait to come back.

Our waitress came by to take a drink order and brought us a bottle of water for the table. The menu is limited, but has plenty of variety and everything has a level of 'comfort' instead of 'stuffy'. The presentation of our meals is well done. I ordered a salad and the produce was fresh with crisp lettuce, well prepared grilled tuna and boiled egg. The dressing was light and tasty. Would order this again. Two peanut butter cookies arrived with our check. I am kind of surprised they would choose to serve peanut butter with so many people having nut allergies, including myself. I had to ask what type of cookies they were before I took one. That just seems like a dangerous policy. Otherwise, we enjoy our time here. Everything is top tier from flatware to restroom to service to food quality. Definitely worth a look.

We were nervous about not having a reservation anywhere during peak season however this place has a good amount of seating so we were seated right away at 5 PM. Our server was attentive, a little awkward but that did not negatively affect the experience at all, it was more so endearing and amusing. Drinks were good. Food was fine, some good bites (shrimp tempura, desserts) and some not so impressive bites (lobster tacos). Vibes were great, we like chill places that still have energy and a lively atmosphere, not too loud, the space filled up throughout our time there so it felt like a happening place. Would definitely be back when we are in the area again!
