Parla XXI

Had a fantastic meal at Parla XXI! The 6 oz steak with fries was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Spanish octopus was tender and well-seasoned, and the crispy calamari was light and delicious. Great atmosphere and excellent service! Highly recommend. Monica was our server, she’s the best!

We sat at the bar for drinks. Service was quick and pleasant. It was early, music was at a good level. If you’re into people watching, sit at the bar just inside the door :) The atmosphere is new-age with a slight modern feel.

Really good food and drinks, really bad service. I had to send my glass back twice because it was dirty. Sure, the first time is OK because I know restaurants can be busy and the dishwasher might not clean one or two glasses to absolute perfection... but my glass was sticky and had an onion peel crusted onto it. For a Tuesday, the dishes took way too long to come out. I'm talking about 1.5 hrs from us sitting down to us having our entrees. When our appetizers did come out, they didn't exclude the pork like we had asked to not be on it (our table had a person with a pork intolerance that leads them to vomit if they eat it). With the dimly lit atmosphere, I'm happy it was caught before it was a problem. It was sent back and came back right. With all that being said, the bar was pretty quick, the bar staff were really nice, and the drinks were balanced. They have a really cool d20 random drink system! The bar also really adds to the atmosphere. 3/5 because of the service and really bad lighting.

Pasta was top class. I took shrimp carbonara and loved it! My partner took shrimp scampi and loved it as well. Their baby cannolis just hit the right spot (so mouth watering!)

Sat outside on a warm day. The lobster ravioli was delicious. Fries were good.

We stopped by for a quick bite, and the place did not disappoint. While the food menu was limited, the drink menu offered a great selection. The ambiance and decor inside the restaurant were lively and enjoyable, adding to the overall experience.

Well our first time trying this restaurant & this place was so cool the bar the atmosphere was an awesome experience the outdoor seating was so relaxing and nice to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful night with great food and the drinks were so delicious!!! We only had one complaint our server was not a friendly person at all. But it’s not a reason for us to be back soon

Such a wonderful vibe and the most amazing cocktails. Food was delicious too. We tried the shrimp avocado and the bruschetta. Both were great. Among the cocktails the Irish whiskey based grandmothers and frogs was simply amazing!! Must- try!

The vibes in this place is amazing, the wall art is beautiful and mystical almost like you're transported to somewhere else. They're currently doing a dice rolling game where whatever number it lands on corresponds with a cocktail. They then give you a list to fill out each drink as you try, there's 24 options I believe. It's definitely worth trying for a small girls night out or a casual date spot! Servers and bartenders are also very receptive to any questions you have!

My cousins and I try to get together whenever we can and a good middle spot is assembly row for us all. We wanted to try a trendy spot and saw that this was a newer restaurant so have it a try. We ordered a few apps, they were just okay. The patatas bravas are fries although listed as potatoes and they were good but not what we were expecting. The meatballs were very dry unfortunately. The lobster ravioli was really well made, there are mixed reviews on the burger as it was overdone and shrimp scampi, made different than the original. The ambiance is great, dark and inviting. Our waitress was great and very helpful. They have a large bar area with a wide array of liquor. If you're into different cocktails and drinks in general, this is def a spot for you but if going for dinner, it's a hit or miss.

Went last night (a Friday night) to grab a drink at the bar with friends. Upon arriving when we opened the door we were smacked in the face with the most unpleasant smell. We grabbed three spots at the bar, but immediately got up to leave as it smelt like someone had just thrown up. When the bartender asked why we were getting up to leave we made them aware of the repulsive smell and they were rude and did nothing. A girl said that a guy had just came in and also immediately left due to the smell. I was excited to try out the drinks but I'll save that for the North End spot.

My coworkers and I went here on a Thursday night. We ordered drinks after seeing the menu. Unfortunately, the only sodas the restaurant has is ginger ale and regular coke. Quite peculiar for a bar, but we asked multiple times and was told this was true. The drinks were pretty good. For entrees, I got the ribeye, and I added a side of fries. The steak was really good, and the fries were also solid. The salad was the best thing on the menu though. The Caesar salad came with fresh anchovies on the side. I will say, the anchovies were quite mild, but still nice to have as an option. My coworker got the lobster ravioli which he really enjoyed. The gnochi was also enjoyable per my other coworker. The service was adequate, but nothing to write home about. The food was good, but the non alcoholic drink options were appalling for a bar that serves food.

Could be one of my new favorite spots for cocktails! Not too expensive and delicious they also do a fun "game" where you roll the die and get a mystery cocktail, complete with card to keep track of all 20 wow! Haven't eaten there yet except for the fries but it always smells delicious in there and everyone's plates look good. Servers have been nice and many seem very knowledgeable about cocktails and mixology!

Some of my favorite cocktails, and memorable hangouts have been here. My go to for a nightcap, I enjoy their variety and creativity. The service is great, and everyone is knowledgeable of the cocktails and food options. I haven't tried many dishes here, but the apps I've tried haven't let me down. It can get pretty noisy, so if that's the vibe you're going for, you won't be disappointed.

I thought the food was pretty good, I was definitely a fan of the lobster ravioli. The sauce was decadent and creamy, and I thought it was a good portion size. I was underwhelmed by the spaghetti carbonara - super duper salty, and couldn't get past that taste. We also got the mussel appetizer which had a great sauce and they piled on the mussels. The crustinis were okay, but that didn't matter since the mussels were so good I didn't care about eating it with that. They also loaded on the onions for the sauce and I loved the pairing of the textures and flavors. Now the reason we came was for the dungeon master - basically you roll a 20-sided dice and that corresponds with a drink. Definitely not for picky drinkers, which is me, but I wanted to try my luck. I absolutely hated both of my drinks, but that's okay, I signed up for that. Others liked their drinks (they also didn't kije mine), maybe I just have bad luck. They give you a card to keep track of what you have so you can make sure you complete the list and become a dungeon master! Also, if you guess 1/2 the ingredients in the drink, you get a free shot, I couldn't for the life of me guess mine, but my bf got one!

Had the burger which was solid, but definitely an unhinge your jaw situation, the portobello makes this puppy a tall tall sando. Fries were okay, the smokey aioli made them better. My friend really liked her carbonara. Rolled the dice a couple times, which was fun and I liked both drinks, and the ambiance had sort of a clubby feel with the blue lights, definitely different than the cozy OG spot in the North End. As it got busier it definitely got pretty noisy, but still a cool vibe. Service was great, I had leftovers and we were going to a movie across the way, and they offered to hold the leftovers in a bag for me to retrieve on my way back. Took them up on it and got my food after the movie, no problem!

I love speakeasy style places and drinks. Sat at the bar with my wife Stephen is reason we will be coming back Top 5 sidecar I have ever had.

We stopped by for drinks after meeting up with friends downtown. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the addition of places like this in assembly is appreciated and needed! This is a cute cocktail bar closer to the north shore without the headache of going downtown. Depending on the time of day, parking will be a headache- but there are tons of options if you don't mind a walk through assembly row. We got here around 11/12 on a Friday night and the bar was full (a little on the small side) but we sat at the high top and was were met with great service. Lovely ambiance, and the drinks are reasonably priced.

Such a cool ambiance. Cocktails are great tasting. Pick from their menu, roll their mystery die, or have them create a cocktail to your tastes. Food was also great. Lamb skewers, carbonara and fries are delicious. The waitress really knew about the drink menu. Great for casual drinks, creative first date spot.

Came on a weekend after dinner time and they had room for walk-ins. The ambience was great and given that the weather was nice, we opted to sit outside. The food and drinks are pretty good. Their menu includes a specialty cocktail where you can roll dice to determine what you drink. It's a pretty cute concept. I would come back again for the drinks

So they have this drink challenge called the Dungeon Master. It's amazing! 20 creative drinks that you random roll on a D20. If you eventually drink them all you get a special prize. Can't recommend it enough. In fairness, the food is solid, but nothing too fancy.

I love the original location of Parla in the north end so we decided to come out and try the campaign out at assembly row. This is a pretty trendy bar and the interior is very cute with the lights behind the bar. For the type of bar it is I will say the music is a little loud and so it's hard to talk to other people in your group. But our campaign drinks were pretty good so I'm sure we will back soon!

I've been here 3 times now. Drinks are great, bar tenders are amazing. They will make you a drink to your liking if nothing appeals to you on the menu. Ambiance is literally lit. The only thing that was holding me back from leaving a review earlier was that I had not tried the food. Finally though I came here for lunch andddd amazing. I ordered the octopus and our waiter said it was the best octopus they ever had. I have got to say it was definitely contending for 2nd place for the best octopus I've ever had. Soooo good! I'll be back just for it! Really a great place to come with anyone. Highly recommend.

Too loud. Table of four ordered four appetizers. What arrived was four appetizers we did not order. We kept them because the server did not come back to check on us. Had to leave table and ask for drinks twice One guests ordered a drink that was never served. Smell of burning plastic coming out of open kitchen was nauseous. Probably not gonna go back.

Other than calling ahead to make a reservation for a large party and speaking to a very nice gentleman named Nick, most of our experience was sub-par. We had a party of 12, it was super hot outdoors and they didn't even bring ice for our waters. Just mildly refrigerated water that got warm within about 10 minutes. The food was average at best. Calamari appetizer was over fried and we specifically asked for the cherry peppers to be taken out because we had kids, of course they left them in. The focaccia that came with our dips were good and the whipped ricotta tasted good. As for the entrees, lobster ravioli was ok, but my sister found a hair in hers and had to send it back. Mushroom risotto was not good, it was thick and gloopy. Spaghetti carbonara looked ok, but neither kid who ordered it finished it. My daughter usually only leaves a couple of bites of her carbonara. We ordered two steak entrees, my teenage niece described hers as 'Mid', which is teenager speak for edible, but I didn't really like it. The other steak dish came out so late that it really should have been taken off our bill. It was literally like 25 minutes later than every other entree that came out. That's really poor service, especially when another table that came after us got their steak entree before ours. I'm pretty sure they made a mistake and gave them ours, but just wouldn't own up to it. Finally, we ordered the beignets, which I would say were very good. Well fried, not too greasy and the cannoli cream and fruit compotes that came with it were tasty. That and the ricotta appetizer were the only two dishes that I would ever try again if I had to. The rest of their menu needs work. I wish we had had a better experience.

Clean, chic second location of the great north end speakeasy with patron diary style menus. Food was just ok and we disliked 4/5 drinks from the dungeon master dice list at the time. Bummer as the original location is one of our favorite cocktail bars in Boston. Root of all evil - 3 Phoenix rising - 4 Archers bang - 5 Dante's inferno - 15 Toss a coin to the Witcher - 19

We had an 830pm reservation at Paint Bar and was looking for a place close by for dinner and drinks and this place was chosen by our friends. We had 6pm reservations and we got to the paint bar with minutes to spare. The place is very cool with an impressive bar, artsy decor and comfy seating. Our server was fine, the food was fine, the cocktails were named and described but we had no idea what was in them. The highlight of the meal was the whipped ricotta. The calamari, mussels and benyets were ok. They have a roll the dice and get what you get cocktail game which some might find fun, but I'm wayyyyyy too picky for that! Would we go back, sure. A solid choice for adventurous drinkers for sure.

The drinks and food were great....but the service was terrible. For a non busy night I could t believe how bad and rude the service was.

Super duper cosy place with awesome food. Brussels , pasta , burger . . . was delicious !!! Would recommend to anyone if you are looking for a good food and cocktail's. Shout out to our server David - Good Job Buddy !!! 5 stars all the way. Ziveli !!!

I really like this place's vibe. Visited this past weekend for the 1st time - thank God it was practically empty! ( I had tried the weekend before and it was packed - we had to go somewhere else in the area). I love the lighting - very smooth, the music appropriate, our server was delightful - I wasn't familiar with their drink menu and she was able to guide me through a drink that she picked for me that TRULY pleased my taste buds! Apparently, the drinks can be crafted especially for you depending on what you like - so don't pay too much attention to the drinks menu if you don't find something that speaks to you. We had the octopus, and the steak and fries - food was ok - we passed on dessert. I would definitely go back - strong place for drinks!

12/9/22 - Have come back a few times in the last few months. We're still enjoying the experience of the dice roll drinks and are about halfway through almost. There have been a couple drinks that I wasn't crazy about, and several I've enjoyed that I may not have otherwise tried on my own. So im loving that the dice roll is exposing me to new flavors! And we got some more food this past time and throughly enjoyed it. Roasted Brussel sprouts were delicious too. Great flavor and not too oily plus a slight crunch. Mediterranean Lamb was so good! Two huge skewers of delicious and tender lamb with two lovely sauces. And the veggies with it were great. And the Lobster Ravioli, wow, so very good as well! Delicious raviolis with a lovely lobster and cheesy blend. And a delicious sauce along with it that was tasty without feeling way too heavy. We'll be back more to try all the dice roll drinks and more of the food

Didn't have to wait too long for seating for two on a Friday night. Small plates were good, drinks were great, and servers and staff were all very kind and helpful!

Tasty food in a lively space. We visited Parla XXI on a Friday night, and it was packed. The main space is centered on a floor-to-ceiling neon blue shelves displaying the liquor owned by the bar. The bar was so noisy that it is hard to hear even the people sitting at your table. The first cocktail I tried to order was unavailable because the liquor list in the back of the menu is not kept up-to-date. I was able to order an old fashioned, and it was perfectly executed. We split the brussel sprouts and calimari, and I ordered the mushroom risotto for myself. The brussel sprouts were delicious and tender. The calimari was lightly breaded and accompanied with breaded jalapeños and a delectable sauce. The mushroom risotto was phenomenal with an exquisite blend of flavors. Overall, I had a nice time at Parla XXI and would recommend them for both food and drink.

This place is amazing! Love sitting at the bar it might be the smaller of the bunch but super cozy. The bar tenders are super friendly and their service is top notch not to mention their skill is the best in assembly. True mixologists! Also a great place to grab a bite. Menu isn't over whelming and prices are very reasonable!

Food: Ordered House-Ground Burger and Hummus Trio Food was exceptional! Grilled Portabella, Prosciutto with beef is a killer combo!!! Highly Recommend with complex flavor. Their fries are just epic. It's a very heavy meal but worth it. Hummus Trio Amazing Trio! Roasted pepper one was my favorite and surprisingly Beet hummus was pretty good! Highly Highly Recommended! Beet | Roasted Pepper | Classic Drinks: People with me ordered lots of drinks and they loved rolling the dice and getting surprised drinks. Also they give you card where you can write the drinks you get so you can keep a tab. It was super fun! Vibe: Very sexy vibe (Stealing from one of the reviews because it's the best way to explain it) Order to table time: Orders came out pretty quick even through the place was packed. Service: Bar is a little slow but understandable with the shortage of workers. There was only 1 person for the most part but they did their best. So be patient order hummus trio and don't be entitled Overall I would highly recommend this place for date nights, team outing or just enjoying great vibes!

I stopped by Parla XXI for an early dinner. The place was moderately busy which offers inside seating up at the bar, table seating and smoke outside patio seating out in front. I decided to sit up at the bar for prompt service. The menus for the very extensive drink offerings and food is bounded inside blue organizers. I was here for food only and looked over the menu which is tapas offering small plates, entrees, noodles, salads, and desserts. I started with Cozze Fritters ($16 plus tax), which were 4 large soft saffron mussel fritters drenched in a thick creamy fra diavalo sauce, Kewpie mayo and garnish, served in a bowl with toast points, which were charred on one side (used to dip in sauce). Next, the Spaghetti Carbonara came out, actually al dente fettuccine noodles tossed with thick pancetta cubes, romano cheese, green onions & egg yolk, fresh ground pepper offered by waiter/bartender. The food sounds good and tasted fine, but the food was lukewarm at best and the pasta dish became cold quickly. I finished my food and my bartender promptly cleared the dishes and I received the check quickly after, no mention or offer for dessert, which most servers at other restaurants will offer/upsell. However, the check amount of $45.92 was higher than expected because while the Cozze Fritters were $16 plus tax, I was charged $27 plus tax instead of the $17 plus tax I thought for the cold Carbonara dish, $10 for entree size was added. The bartender did not ask me which size I wanted to order. The $27 price and portion is actually in line with other area places and similar to Tuscan Kitchen, but their pasta dishes come out hot. I expect hot fresh food, especially if I'm paying good money for it. The portion of pasta seemed modest because after I left, another patron was eating a big portion of pasta actually spaghetti outside on the patio.

Nice cocktail bar/restaurant at Assembly Row. We came for drinks and some small plates to share and everything was delicious. This second Parla location offers some outdoor seating, bar and indoor seating. Plenty of house made cocktails to choose from along with small platesates and a few entrees. Our server recommended the black peppercorn strawberry cocktail made with their strawberry shrub. Refreshing with a slight pepperyness. To eat we ordered the brussels salad, meatballs and lobster ravioli. All of which were great. Edited: why I didn't give it 5 stars was that I wasn't blown away by anything such as service or food. It was a solid 4.

Best grilled octopus ever! Truly outstanding service. Very cozy, yet upscale environment.

Burger was over done and came out of the kitchen about five minutes after my friend's food, fries way to salty, disgusting actually. I ordered a replacement for the fries, not only did they come back just as salty but with a bunch of cheese dumped on them. I'm guessing the bartender didn't clearly communicate with the kitchen regarding the issue with the fries, not sure. They sent out a third side without seasoning or the topping. My friend's dish was excellent. The reason I didn't make a fuss about the hamburger was because I waited so long for it I didn't want to deal with the replacement. Had I known what was going to be the outcome of my experience I would have paid for my drink and cancelled my food and gone someplace else. I'm guessing no management was on duty last night. Music too loud for certain songs as well. Thanks anyway....

Best spot for food + drinks. Everything was 10/10. Most creative cocktail menu in Boston. Staff is ever better, if that's possible -- so sweet and attentive.. literally had 3 different people check on our table. Ambiance is super vibey, dim and colorful. Artful, cozy and modern. Will definitely be my #1 date night and assembly recommendation spot Also love their OG location in North end.

Came in here a few nights ago with friends and had a blast! The music got a little loud but honestly it was totally fine since the playlist they were playing were absolute bangers! If you're trying to have a girls night out without the creeps trying to hit on you or drinks being over priced, this is the spot!

The service & decor were awesome, but unfortunately, the food wasn't up to par. I dined with three friends, and we were all disappointed with our meals.

Came here one time for dinner with some friends & I def will be back. The vibes was great, food was delish, & the drinks was strong yet tasty. The bartenders really know what they're doing & are very knowledgeable about the drinks. We started off with the salmon crudo, crispy brussels spouts, and hummus trio. a1 with the hummus.. it was so freshly made! later we got the mussels & the garlic sauce was to die for! I got the tea sugar & dream & let that man go just because the name was cute lol. It was perfectly different from each other. One was minty while the other one was sweet yet spicy?? Then we finished off with tequila shots so obviously we had a good night. Will be back! Thanks XXL !

Had a fantastic time with a group of 5. 2 of my friends did the dice rolling thing and the 3 of us just told the waitress what we liked. All of us loved our drinks, it was absolutely amazing. We also got the mussels, calamari, patatas bravas and Brussels sprout. The food was pretty good but the drinks were outstanding.

I had the pleasure of being able to eat/drink at their new location prior to their opening. I've gone tot he north end location multiple times so I knew I was in for an experience. The new place is so nice. If you've been to the Boston location, you know it's on the small side/ more intimate. This assembly location has a significantly bigger size indoors as well as a big patio area. It's decorated beautifully and def a vibe. Besides their game, they have other cocktails, def come. The service was great. Our waitress was kennedy, she was prompt and always around to get us another round, glass of water, etc. and she had great recommendations. For drinks, we've been working on our parla cards. It's a cool drinking game they have where you have to drink all of the 20 drinks overtime, roll a die, etc etc. trust me, ask about it. For an app, we got a ricotta bread and the meatballs. Both were delicious. Especially loved the ricotta bread. We also had the meatballs which were so flavorful and a MUST. For dinner, we had the squid ink pasta as well as the ravioli. Both were cooked to perfection and filled with flavors. After a great dinner, we got another drink or two at the bar. Our bartender, whom I forget his name, was also great, knowledgeable, and a great conversationalist. Overall, def recommend them. Both locations are great and I can't wait to return.

I've been to this bar for at least ten times and this is the first time I received such terrible service. The server did not even hand the menu to me for at least ten minutes. Where are the menus? I've been receiving physical version for a long time. This pathetic fool refused to hand me the menu and speak to me with an arrogant attitude. Want your tips? Go Beg Your Sugar Daddy for that tip you pathetic polio fool.

The gentleman I spoke to at the bar his name was Nick he was great everything about the place I loved real professional. I have to tell you this I'm a guy from Somerville I go back there every once in a while, this place reminds me of Drapper Dan's from 35years ago. These people know how to take care of people his families from the north end. You have to go to this place it is excellent. All the best Jack

A chance for you to become dungeon master here! The cocktails are so good! We also got Brussel sprout and calamari which was also very good. I would totally go back here :)

I left this place feeling like I've wasted my money and calories. Decided to try this place because my wife spoke highly of their drinks in the north end location. We order 4 drinks and 3 out of 4 people commented the drinks were mediocre at best. My wife said the drinks were day and night difference compared to north end location. We ordered several food items. Started with Mussel Fritters and Calamari. The calamari was rubbery so i asked the waitress to make us a new batch. The second batch came out and it was still very rubbery. I like to think this is due to their seafood being not fresh instead of amateur chefs. The Mussel Fritters were good until I saw pictures that Ian (preview reviewer) posted. I did not get the grill toasted bread. One person ordered Spaghetti Cabonara and it looked really really dry. I asked him and he confirmed it was very dry and bland. FYI. all noodles are charged +$10 for entrée size. My wife ordered Brussels Sprouts and Patatas Bravas. Brussel Sprouts was well seasoned and well cooked. Patatas Bravas was essentially a plate of soggy french fries with a dipping sauce. 100% not worth the $15. 2 people got the burgers. After few bites, we noticed the burgers were missing grilled portabella mushrooms. Asked the waitress about it who asked the kitchen. She came back and confirmed it was suppose to be in it and apologized. At this point we were pretty disappointed with the experience and didn't ask for the mushrooms. They recently opened but its not an excuse to execute poorly on every level.

What an incredible advancement from the north end location (which is still great)! This Parla with their new drink menu and updated food menu is a must for assembly row. The mushroom risotto was perfectly cooked and the drinks are amazing! Suzie helped us choose the dungeon master drink which was a fun way to try new things. Definitely will be back for the rest of the drinks and for the great service!

Took well over 15 minutes for anyone to great us, another 20 for drinks, put in focaccia, never got any silverware, never checked in with us. Had to flag him down for another round, got our drinks, had 2 sips, went to the bathroom and came back and our table was cleared. They actually handed me my plate of food back as I was walking back to my table like "oh were you not finished" like no... was very awkward, asked for the check at 9:37 and at 10 I had to walk up to the hostess and ask her if we could pay because the server refused to acknowledge us and didn't come back to our table?? I told her we didn't even get to finish our drinks and APOLOGIZED for complaining and she just said "sorry" the drinks were good and so wasn't the food so I'll give them that, but I really hate that we had to pay for drinks that were dumped and food that was taken and handed off again.

The experience was okay. We were seated outside at the Assembly Row location because my reservation was lost, and told to scan the QR code for the menu. We did and then when our server arrived we were formed that we had the wrong menu. We ordered drinks and the burrata appetizer, drinks were great, app was left to be desired. Then we waited and the server came back to check on the immediate 3 tables around us, but never us. I finally stopped him to ask if we could order our dinner and he seemed surprised. Overall, I don't think I would come here for anything but drinks.

I dropped in on a weeknight for a round of drinks with some coworkers and I was very impressed! The bartender taking care of us was very attentive and friendly. He made us some killer extra spicy habanero margaritas. This place is a little outside the city but definitely worth it. I will return again soon!

3rd time coming! The best drinks I have ever had. They seem to be struggling a bit as the food is hit or miss, but oh my god they have the best bartenders in all of Boston. Definitely recommend rolling the dice to get a unique cocktail masterpiece. Edit: calamari was difficult to chew, however the first time I ordered it, it was the most delicious and tender calamari I've had in a while. Carbanora was very very salty (and I love salt) and the sauce was very soupy and tasted a lot like cream of chicken soup. Interested in trying it again though because I know that it had to have been a fluke and like I said...it's a new restaurant and inevitably there will be flukes in the beginning

Love coming here for a lil DnD themed drinks, each of the crafted cocktails are delicious and balanced! Best to come with some friends and order food to share!

Cool spot with some pretty funky drink options (and one option where you roll a dice whatever number you get is the mystery drink you get- such a cool idea) but my go to (and favorite) at every new restaurant is a Cosmo, the bartender informed me that they don't use cranberry juice but rather a liqueur, great no problem but then it arrives and it's half full! Maybe that's how it's supposed to be, I don't know but I didn't realize no cranberry juice would mean the drink isn't a full glass! It was good though, not the best I wouldn't order it again but the ESPRESSO martini oh man now that was the one of the best I've had! The food was great, especially the shrimp scampi. Only thing we ordered that we weren't overly impressed with were the meatballs. I'd go back and order the scampi (and not share it) and try some of their speciality drinks for sure.

A great time overall. The food was amazing. Great vibe and atmosphere. Definitely visiting again next time I'm in Boston!
