Great service by waitstaff and host!

Looking for quiet elegant place to meet up with friends this was it. Bright spacious and nice surroundings Our server was attentive and patient since we were so busy talking we were neglecting to read menu Choices for lunch were a bit disappointing We were not looking for heavy entree rather small bits to share The New England chowder creamy with an unexpected bite Mushroom pizza covered with a bit too many greens still mushrooms delicious and super thin crust crispy almost like pita chips We were never rushed despite the reservation notice that stated limited times allowed Our 11:30 reservation allowed lots of quiet until the afternoon crowds arrived Good place for older friends to reconnect 👍

Is a nice place to have drinks and some food. Dinner menu has typical stuff is not very broad however the food is good. Nice ambience.

Nothing special about this restaurant. The food was pretty average and the service was terrible.

Beautiful room but very very loud. Food is good but too expensive for they type of dining and they sat us in a very loud section of the restaurant which made the experience not so enjoyable. The staff is very nice and welcoming.

Essentially bar food, but good quality and nice size portions. Service is a little spotty and chaotic, and tables are way too close together for a private conversation. Overall, a good place for breakfast, and a mediocre experience for dinner.

Hadn't been to this room for a number of years. Remember it as an elegant space. Reviews seemed to indicate this was still the case. However, we were quite disappointed at how down-at-the-heels it is now. We arrived shortly after noon and were seated immediately, which was nice. We weren't sure who the host was until she has leading us to our table. She didn't speak to us; she kind of grunted from behind her mask. (I know this sounds snarky, but it was the case.) Our waiter was fine. Not friendly...seemed a bit "over it" for the day, but otherwise acceptable. The food was okay, but was not impressive. I ordered the "petit dejeuner", which had a yogurt/muesli parfait that tasted like it had been sitting around, some fresh fruit and a croissant which were fine, and a lackluster blueberry muffin. Never was given the coffee or juice that were supposed to accompany it. My guest had a salmon pizza which she liked. My second guest had a cup of chowder, which was extremely small for the $9 price tag. We anticipated that a restaurant in the Copley Plaza would provide a higher-end experience. All of us were disappointed that this is no longer the case.

A return visit after being away for many years. Great food and service.

Business/Work Breakfast Overall good place to work and eat for a quick business breakfast. Noise Level was quiet and ambiance was not overwhelming. Quick Service!!

I had the vegan smoked cauliflower 'steak' over a whipped sweet potato base, topped with roasted chickpeas, and pomegranate seeds. It was amazingly good!
