The food is very ok, but the place is definitely overrated. Rainy day in Boston today (Saturday), so the place was packed. 30 min. plus wait. The music is WAY TO LOUD for an eating place, mostly punk rock or similar, so forget about having a relax meal or a normal conversation. The food arrived after a long wait (the place was very busy) and the portions are huge.
The lady at the register push you for a larger tip (was giving 18%), asking me the reason why I was doing that, that 20% was the "normal". Well maybe normal for her, but not for me if the place or atmosphere didn't merit it.
