I came here last night with my girls for dinner and drinks. At first I went into the main building which leads to the basement floor. It was dim and definitely gave lounge vibes. I was told their lounge is open till 2am. In the lounge area there was also seating and people were being served there. We were seated at the rose bar which doesn't seem to be connected as you have to walk outside, turn the corner, and go in through a different entrance.
Upon entry, the restaurant is gorgeous, whoever came up with the design, 10/10. The lighting is perfect, not too dim, not too bright. We started out with the 'nutcase' for cocktails. It's basically their version of a piña colada, and it's not too sweet and not too strong.
For entree's, I ordered the lemon caesar, duck fried rice, and the crab rangoon. The crab rangoon was not bad, it was flavorful but paired better with the sauce. The duck fried rice was not good, my friend who also ordered it ended up sending it back. It just tasted like they tried too hard to give it Asian flare and it was just too much. The lemon Caesar was definitely the best thing I ate, the salad was fresh and crisp and simple but good. We also ordered the salt and pepper shrimp and it was way too salty and almost inedible, I was done after two bites. My friend also ordered the wings and said it was salty and dry. She ordered the burger as a replacement and said even that wasn't good. The Riesling spritz face was good and resembled a sangria as my friend put it.
Our server was friendly. At some point though, I felt like we were waiting longer than we should have for service and it took way too long for them to clear the plates we were done with from the table. The table is only so big and can't contain much so that was irritating. But overall, we received fair service.
After dinner, we went downstairs to see what the lounge was all about. There was a dj playing music and restaurant goers eating, standing, and dancing. I think this place has great vibes and the idea is there. Drinks are pretty good, the lounge is a nice touch, but the food is just too salty. I would come back for vibes and drinks but not the food. We definitely need more places like this in Boston though.
