We visited on 7/31 around 11:30am. There was 4 of us adults. My friend and I split the Hangover Fried Rice as our meal. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! 10/10 My husband had the Brown Sugar French Toast, which he said was really good 8/10. Our other friend got 2 Eggs your way, which he ordered over easy but they were WAY to undercooked. I'm not sure if they normally do their friend eggs like that but do not recommend.0/10 For the table we got an order of the original Souffle Pankes 10/10. We also got Traditional Beignets, I wasn't impressed, but everyone else at our table thought they were good. I would give a 6/10. We also got the House Made Corned Beef Hash, 10/10. So good! We did not order any fancy brunch drinks because we did a lot of drinking the day before. The atmosphere was great, the decor was awesome, our waiter was great. Check this place out, you will not be disappointed! Our bill was about $100 with tip, and we still had some food we couldn't finish. HOWEVER, for parties of 4 or more be mindful the tip is included in your bill!! So make sure to pay attention to that so you don't end up double tipping!!

WOW.I still daydream about this place.The seafood is so fresh and delicious. I love the concept of a "boil," it was my first one. You just choose all of the seafood you want and it all comes out in the sauce of your choosing.The lobster mac n cheese is heavenly. Everything comes out very quickly.The service was also excellent and the decor is unique. It really makes you feel like you're in New Orleans for the night.I would return to Boston just for this restaurant.

Speakeasy vibes in this place! Was looking for a good brunch spot that also had oysters. Found it! Started off with a dozen oysters. Main course with full flavors and perfectly cooked poached egg “The Brunch garlic noodles”. For dessert the banana foster. Food coma!

A great place food a fun group dinner.I made a dinner res for 5, and we all had a great time. The staff was also very friendly and attentive.Here is what our party got:Mama Sue's big bowl of crabs: 10/10Lobster Mac & Cheese: 13/10Brussel sprouts: 3/10Fries: 8/10Various Cocktails: 9/10Dessert tower: 7/10Hospitality: 10/10+ we added a lobster and shrimp to the bowl of crab. It was well worth it.+ we loved the lobster Mac and Cheese so much, we were compelled to get another one.Overall, the bill was about $650 but we left absolutely stuffed.So, based out of my experience, this is a good spot for group dinner or fun dates. I'd recommend the following- Enjoy their selection of Cocktails. They are all really great and picture worthy.- Get the big bowl of crabs if you're into seafood. If you're feeling a bit extra, add the lobster, it's delicious.- Don't miss out on the lobster Mac & Cheese, it's also delicious.

One of my favorite places to go in Boston, they have a fun edgy menu and a very solid cocktail list - this is a perfect spot for date night! Their garlic noodles, ribs on coke, and street corn are incredible. Also fantastic and underrated spot to hit for brunch, the soufflé pancakes are amazing!

Slow service.We tried getting a staff's attention (a woman with blue hair and a bandanna to be specific) for help with the check, she was very rude and said it wasn't her job.Okay woman our waitress wasn't there there's no need to be rude. Perhaps choose a job that doesn't require interacting with people.Also, food wasn't that great.The venue is nicely decorated though, that’s the only good thing about this place.

This also one of Boston hidden gems. I will start off with PARKING SUCKS but once you walk in the place is really nice. Very insta dinner/brunch pics. The hostess was a bit rude which is why I gave it four stars but the rest of the staff was supper friendly. The food was amazing. The broil had a nice kick to it. Portion size was amazing. My favorite dish was the fried rice with gravy sauce. AMAZING. Try this place out it’s worth it.

The place is amazing, the decor is really nice and the service was great. Went there for brunch and the food was delicious. Overall great experience!

Cornbread skillets, and the best French toast in the area

The crab special had a variety of crabs to enjoy. I liked being able to try several in the same dish. The dish was pricey but tasty.
