Sunday brunch, called and made a reservation thinking it would be busy. Walked in and the place was quiet almost empty. Was seated promptly, server came over and introduced herself and gave us menus and asked for our drinks. Coffee and Diet Pepsi.Menu in restaurant had different prices than those on line. Ordered plain jane omelette with side of bacon and steak and scrambled eggs. Music was at nice level, no need for raised voices. About 5-10 minutes a different person delivered our meals. The omelette was plain jane and the bbq steak cooked as expected (awesome). The home fries were very hot and, we had to wait and eat them last. 2 great meals at reasonable price. One thing we noticed was people of a certain age were seated on one side of the restaurant and people younger were seated on the other, most be a regulars thing.

My hair salon and nail salon are both about a half block from here, so I've come in often for drinks. Most recently, I decided to meet a friend here for dinner. I wasn't super hungry, so I got the buffalo lollipop chicken wings. My friend went all-in on the steak. She really liked her steak - it was cooked to her liking and she downed the whole thing. She let me try her mashed potatoes and they were deliciously creamy! I was scared about the buffalo wings because I've had a few places mess them up recently by making them fancy. Buffalo sauce should taste like buffalo sauce - amirite? Anyway - The wings here did NOT disappoint. I literally went in waiting to be sad, but they were so good - exactly the flavor I was hoping for, good sized wings and well cooked chicken. I would totally get this again (with a side of those yummy mashed potatoes). Every drink I've gotten here has been well made and I'm a cocktail girl. I will definitely continue to frequent this place and I look forward to trying more menu items.

Great dinner spot in West Roxbury. Really kind and welcoming service, too. I had the trout and brussel sprouts-- highly reccomend. The real winner though was the banana bread pudding. I now realize that "banana bread pudding from West on Centre" is a new way to spell "heaven."

A group of us came in after we got off of work last night and we had the best time. It was my first time going (others in my group frequent the spot) and I absolutely loved it. It was the perfect late night spot for us to unwind and let loose. There was a really fun mix of people - different ages, different backgrounds, different occasions, good mix of regulars and first timers, etc. - and yet everyone seemed to get along and blend seamlessly. It's hard to put into writing but there was just an all around really fantastic vibe throughout the place and great energy from both the staff and the customers. I want to specifically mention (and thank) the two bartenders (Josh + Pat) who were working last night as they certainly helped make our experience what it was. Josh and Pat seemed to have a really good rhythm working together behind the bar and, as a result, were both diligent and efficient with what they were doing while simultaneously creating a fun and inviting atmosphere. Perhaps most notable was the fact that both bartenders seemed very attentive to customers' needs and very in tune with what was happening at and around the bar. Pat went out of his way to check in on us (a group of females) not once but twice to make sure that another customer's behavior was not bothering us or making us feel uncomfortable. We assured Pat that we were fine (we actually enjoyed the other customer and found him to be quite friendly and entertaining). However, it stood out to all of us that Pat went out of his way to discretely make sure that we felt safe and comfortable. I am looking forward to my next visit and will DEFINITELY be back.

We have been here before but decided to return. We had Point Judith calamari, garlic knots, margarita pizza, fish and chips, quinoa salad. The waitress was beyond wonderful, her name was Ella, top rated, friendly, and accommodating with a smile the whole time. The food runner (sorry forgot the actual name) was so polite and great at his job. We loved the dining side of the restaurant. The open kitchen had a lot going on, sometimes the smell (not bad, just a lot) was overpowering. The mixed drinks are phenomenal! Highly recommended! (Sorry for lack of pictures) I will update next time.

Generally good food and service, my waitress was very friendly and accommodating. However the ambiance was a bit overwhelming as there was both clamorous conversation paired with music being played as well. The chicken was also a bit dry and unseasoned though the broccoli and mashed potatoes were delicious.

I love this place. It's usually not crowded, has a nice open floor plan, a bar side that plays music (not too loud), has a fire place, and a downstairs area I believe for functions. We got seated quickly. I brought my mom for her birthday brunch and had an amazing food experience. Ordered the best eggs Benedict I've ever had with well seasoned home fries. Had no complaints at all. I could have eaten another order they were so good. Mom ordered the steak and eggs which was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. I think someone overheard me say it was her birthday and when we were done they brought her a nice desert that was like a chocolate lava brownie with ice cream, whip cream, chocolate drizzled over the plate with a candle. Was super impressed. Came again the Saturday before Easter Sunday with my youngest son and he loved the eggs Benedict as well. My birthday fell on that Easter Sunday and my wife wanted to bring me but thought I had spoiled my appetite being that I was just there the day before. She was wrong! We went again but there was something different going on. They had a buffet style brunch happening which I was ok with since they had what I wanted. The strange part was the cost vs what we actually ate and the waiter not actually having to do anything but bring out drink and a check. When we went to serve our food I came across a couple dirty plates and some still wet from whatever they use to clean them. Got back to my table w the food and my utensils were dirty with food. Wasn't pleasant. I felt like we ate less than what we paid for sure. It's still my "go to" for brunch from now on but I'll make sure my stuff is clean when I get served.

Came here July 23, 23 for lunch first time trying my Mother recommended this place. I tried the teriyaki chicken lollipop as a appetizer and for the main dish the bolognese dish and got the butter cake for dessert. The chicken was delicious cooked moist and very tasty the teriyaki sauce was great! The bolognese was good had lamb, sausage and beef with pasta the sauce was very good, but only thing was needed more meat it had plenty of pasta not enough meat. But the dish was good. The dessert was phenomenal! The butter cake was dense moist and rich! But not overly rich just right it came with ice cream and raspberry or strawberry syrup on it! Will come back again and try brunch next time! Host was very welcoming and the place was clean and the bathroom was clean!
