We got there early for our reservation. Allison at the front was amazingly accommodating and we were very grateful for her hospitality and service. Ricardo was our waiter and he had us fully covered and entertained. It’s our third time in and I will be sure to have others heading into Boston for the theatre to be sure and visit. Keep up the good work and the great personnel. It truly makes a difference!
