The service is always good and I've never had a bad experience here. Be sure to try their bone-in pork chops - they are a must!

A wide range of appetizers, entrées, drinks and wine. The right mix of bright and substantial price with beautiful style and presentation. A great beer selection that offers more than great IPAs and boring traditional options (beer, porter, stouts and more! The best thing: the service is warm and attentive. They take care of you like family! Thank you Oscar!

Here's what happened: One person in our party of 7, who is a vegetarian, was charged for fettuccine bolognesealthough she ordered fettuccine with butter. It took the waitress 3 tries to get the simple order correct. Maybe she shouldwrite down the order to get it right? First it came out as bolognese, second time came out with no sauce but meat sprinkled allover it, third time with butter as ordered. When the bill came, we were charged for the fettuccine bolognese. We asked to havethe bill changed to reflect no bolognese but the waitress and person in charge swore she ordered the bolognese (which shedidn't) and would not subtract the extra charge off the bill. The person in charge took the waitress' side on this dispute. Overa few dollars they lost 7 customers plus those we tell. We will not be coming back.

The reason is not the food as I have no idea how it tasted, but rather for poor management practices, untrained staff and generally rude managers. Let me briefly explain. We stopped in for our 6:30pmreservation, but after a struggle to find a parking spot, we walked in six minutes late. Upon checking in, the hostess told uswe did not have a reservation. Well, our friend pulled out his phone and showed her the RESY confirmation. She said,well…”we don’t have you in our system”. Manager comes over..as he is flipping through the screen we actually see ourname. He acknowledges our names and said “we cancelled you, you were late” and walked away…no “I am sorry”, no “wewill squeeze you in, just sit tight”. Again, I looked at my watch and we were six minutes late. Are you seriously kiddingme? There were plenty of open tables…so who took our table I might wonder, right? The hostess, who apparently did notknow how the auto-cancellation works, also looked confused. Look, I get it, their restaurant their rules. But how aboutposting your policy: ”if you are five minutes late, the reservation you had for the past two weeks will be cancelled!” Wehad to scramble to find a place six miles away to make it back to our show at the Dedham Community Theater. Turned what was tobe a restful enjoyable dinner and evening, into a mad dash/unrestful scramble. I will not be going back. As we all know, itstarts at the top. If this is how the management is going to treat their customers, they won’t be around long. Imagine howthey likely respond to issues one might have with their food…”well, you ordered it”….give me a break, many greatestablishments out there. Skip these guys and offer your business to those who appreciate the customer just a wee bit more..
