 Because they do not take reservations for parties of less than 6, it's advisable to get there early.

 Like real early...5:15 is not a bad idea as doors open at 5:30.

 It has an open kitchen with wood fired grills.

 It is arguably the best restaurant in Boston if you don't mind the hectic atmosphere and tight quarters.

 I have been there at least 7-8 times in the past couple of years and have always found the food outstanding and service very friendly
 despite the fast pace.  Wine list is very good.  A few micro beers on tap.

 True foodies say their prayers to this place.   A very fun place to dine but don't expect a casual slow paced meal like you get in a
 French restaurant.
