Guacamole was fairly bland. The shrimp was rubbery and dry. And, to top it off, we watched a mouse run by us twice. I do not recommend, unfortunately.

Attractive restaurant in a the seaport, a wonderful part of Boston to visit. Overall food quality was good, but it took over 45 minutes from the time we ordered until the food was brought to the table. The waitress was polite and friendly and nice, but no idea why it took so long for the kitchen to prepare our food, especially given that the restaurant was only half filled. Limited menu at this restaurant, but most of the food was very good. Exeptional chips and salsa. Nice sandwches/entrees. The salad had tasty dressing but too much dressing on it. Biggest "complaint" was that it took too long to be seated, too long for our order to be taken, and much too long after ordering to get our food.

We had a 7:15 reservation. We waited 45 minutes & then had to ask the hostess to arrange for someone to take our drink order. 30 minutes later, only half of the drinks were served. Service was horrible. We ordered food with our drinks but didn’t even see chips & salsa for over an hour. Would not go back. They comped us 3 drinks but service was so horrible we would not return. Do not recommend.

Slow service. Waitress did not come back to check on us after we received our food, chicken wings were undercooked. We had to find our waitress to get the bill and then find her again to pay the bill.
