A friend and I visited Local 02045 for the first time on Thursday, 4/27/2023, at 6:15 PM. Come to find out, it was one of their first few nights that they reopened for the 2023 summer season. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted and asked if we would prefer a high-top or a standard table. The Host quickly escorted us to our table, and our Server came over and welcomed us to the restaurant and introduced herself (Janelle). The restaurant had a wide variety of signature cocktails, beer/wine, and a pleasant selection of appetizers/light bites, salads, sandwiches, and main entrees. Working in the restaurant industry previously, I was impressed to see such a variety of food that could meet the needs of an entire family. At one point, another Server (Jaclyn) stopped by to see if we needed anything and if we were enjoying our meal.
Aesthetically, the location was very clean and bright, and the views and sunset were incredible! The best part, other than the company I was with, was being able to watch the sunset over the Boston skyline.
At the end of the meal, my friend and I were leaving the restaurant and I quickly observed the Manager (Lisa) politely ask a female guest to speak with her in private. The Manager asked the guest if her husband was okay as he "seemed a bit off". I work in Human Resources and was very impressed with the Manager's vocabulary/word selection, tact, and professionalism in handling this difficult conversation. The female guest did start to escalate, but the Manager remained calm and spoke in a caring and non-accusatory tone. From my observation, the Manager seemed like she cared and wanted to make sure everyone was okay.
Overall, my experience was very positive, I will absolutely frequent Local 02045. I even called today to make a reservation for a party of 12 for my niece's high school graduation celebration in June.
