The first time they opened and we went to dinner was great. But the last visits were like that. Last weekend, my husband went to dinner with a friend. And both got sick. I just phoned with chef Joanna. She said they cook her lamb balls very well. But there was no solution for problem or they both got sick. Very regrettable, as they pay a lot of money to go to dinner. And just to get home and get sick. This is frustrating on many levels. I have to take care of a baby and don't need a man to take care of who gets sick in a restaurant that didn't take the precautions to check what they cook.

And there's a fireplace for ambiance and extra warmth during the cold weather!

The service is consistently excellent, and I’ve never been disappointed. Don’t miss out on their bone-in pork chops—they’re an absolute must!

Buffalo Cauliflower New England fish and chips I die to know what makes it a New England version, waitress could not answer. Lol. Salad beet on Arugula, Feta and Pistachios. If the beet had preferred, which were either roasted or marinated, and more of them.(Non Taste) Cheese Penne looked really good, baked nice crusty Vege Burger looked good from Fleischburger looked really good We were there in a musical night. The band was good, but as expected it was a little hard to talkParking: street parking is free at night in a lot on the street

For my entree, I ordered the fried pork which was basically inedible. It was like eating rubber and had the flavor of eating bread crumbs. Also, it had no sauce, so it was as dry as eating a mouthful of breadcrumbs. My wife ordered the fettuccini with shrimp which tasted exactly like a Knorr pasta side (those packets that you buy at the grocery store for two dollars). For two dollars- i'd be happy, for $28, I was pretty upset. On top of all of that, our waitress took forever to bring us the check. I had to waive her down while she was eating at the expo line. I wanted to complain while I was there, but my family convinced me not to. I feel bad writing such a negative review but also feel like people should know that they could have a similar experience.

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 burger was a beef/pork mixture that just didn’t taste very good. The bun soaked through and it becameimpossible to eat. Fried pickles were the best part of the meal.

I tried 5 appetizers with my group, and we all had different meals but shared a taste of each. The salmon, short ribs.... I couldn't evenname them all but do yourself a favor and bring friends and family! I'll be a regular every chance I get!! Oscar's is to Bostonas the Red Socks are to our hearts!!!

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..

Other than that, food was good, bartender was knowledgeable and friendly, beer selection was pretty awesome. Atmosphere was nice and relaxing. And they were theonly bar in this area that was open on a Monday. Pretty solid place.

The veggie burger is scrumptious, although making it vegan just involves taking off the brioche bun. They usually offer a delicious rice bowl on the menu too. The staff is well-informed about vegan options, making it an ideal spot for those following a plant-based diet.
