| Food | This is the best value for food in Boston. The menu features comforting classics like pork tenderloin and duck confit. The mini shrimp ceviche tacos were light, but flavorful. The house cured duck prosciutto was absolutely delicious. And the highlight of the evening was their fresh fettucini with house pork sausage and broccoli rabe. The food here's not fancy, but unbelievably satisfying, which just goes to show you that classic is good and sometimes better than cooking with liquid nitrogen. (Not that there isn't a time and place for molecular gastronomy...but this definitely not the place). Besides, eating here actually allows you to read the menu from left to right since everything's a bargain! Too bad they don't serve dessert! You heard me...no pastry chef, no dessert menu. Bummer. |
| Bartender/Staff | Awesome...but only if you get Frankie or Peter. They paid me to say that...No, I'm only kidding! They didn't...but the girls are not so friendly and this is coming from my male friend who lives in the neighborhood and drops a lot of cash here every week. |
| Attitude |
Great. They're very open to bar eaters...but again, depends on the bartender. |
| Scene | Not much of a scene, but the hostesses are cute! It's South Boston...what can you expect? It's not all that trendy like Franklin Southie's sister restaurant in the South End. Still, the neighborhood is picking up with these new restaurants coming in and this is a great place for locals to come enjoy a good meal on a weekday. |
| Get Lucky Factor |
If you like girls: Depends on how picky you are...Like I said, the hostesses are cute, but the patrons...Ehh. Come for the food. If you like boys: Lots of couples here, but if you find a single guy in here at dinner time, you know he at least knows his food. |

Jordan Retro 5 Payton said he suspects there will be moments this fall when he's watching the Saints and struggles with the fact that he cannot be with the club, but said those feelings won't overwhelm him because of the enjoyment he'll get from being with Connor and teenage daughter Meghan. cheap jordan 11
