Alright, this is gonna be a mixed review...

Food: 2 stars - Came here for a Gilt City coupon with my girlfriend and while my personal company was great [in case you're reading this], I really was not very impressed with the food. The lamb dish (which was more of a lamb meatball) was exceedingly salty and gamy and the fish tacos were so small I could have eaten all 3 with one bite. The pulled pork sliders were delicious, but also very expensive for its size. On the other hand, the Ox-tail drink was amazing and our server was very friendly.

Clubbing: 3 stars - pretty chill place with two main areas for dancing. I preferred the smaller room with slightly more hip-hop music as opposed to the more techno side. The crowd was fairly more mature and responsible than the usual grind-happy crew that I'm accustomed in the Boston nightlife scene.

Overall, I understand this is a happening place nowadays and I would recommend stopping by for clubbing, but I've mixed feelings about the food.

I had a friend who loved going to this place almost every time we went out after we all got sick and tired of Gypsy. Honestly, I can't see myself going back not because I had a bad experience, but due to the fact that everything was just OK...the music, the drinks, the scene. I like that it is close to miniBar, one of my favorite spots, so go there first if you arrive early. The line can also get a little long. I think you should come here at least once just to test the waters.

Four stars before the crowds hit - great cocktails and really good food. The lobster roll was the best ever (seriously) - if you eat lobster you must try it.  It's actually a generous portion, two people could share it. Comes with really good chips (I don't usually like chips).  

I also got the arugula salad (ended up with too much food!)  It was also big but not diluted; the greens tasted fresh and it was chock full of good vegetables.

The crowd veered away from the atmosphere I liked as it got later and clubby, but that's to be expected, so I won't dock them on stars for it.  For a bachelorette party, it was fun to be able to mosey over to the disco in the adjoining room.

Attire is somewhere between casual and dressy - I wouldn't wear mom jeans and a Disney t-shirt, but nice jeans and a nice looking blouse are fine.  Possibly nice jeans and a button down shirt for men in the lounge.

Oh - and we had a very large group - since we came at 7pm, they were able to accommodate us very comfortably in the main part of the lounge.
