I’ve never been asked to leave an establishment because I’m not eating a full entree. Kenz and I got seated and we’re having drinks and an app and the waitress came over and said because we’re not eating she has to check us out. And I said, “even if we want more drinks”. Her reply was a pleasant “yes”. But we gotta go. Currently there are 3 empty tables. But WE can’t stay. So off to spend our money somewhere else. Giddy up!

The fish and chips was superb! I'm not normally a huge fan of coleslaw, but I finished theirs off no problem. There were five people in our party and the food came very quickly. Coupled with a fantastic atmosphere and gorgeous views, this is one Boston eatery that I'll definitely return to. — with Robin E. Dias.
