Ate there a half dozen times - great people, great food, fantastic value. But if you didn't know it was there, it was hard to spot, and if you were trying to get there from the west (ie Dedham), it was a pain in the ass - the particular light you have to wait for to cross Washington takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r.
I wish those folks well, because they deserve success. If they decide to try this idea somewhere else I would implore them to really pay close attention to their location/siting.
This one replaced another one that also died trying. I feel bad, since everyone says how good it was. Hopefully a nice insurance agency will move in and do OK, but please no more restaurants. It's cursed!
I'm sorry to see another small, family owned restaurant in the area close. But unfortunately that location was not great - hard to get to from most residential neighborhoods nearby, bad parking, and hard to see from the street.
Combine that with food that was just OK and almost 100% skewed to food that was incredibly indulgent...and I'm not surprised they are closing.

too bad
Don't get to that area often, but we tried it and enjoyed the food. Had some interesting dishes.
Sad news
This place had a great menu and great staff to match. Seemed to be busy whenever I was in there.
Fantastic food. Horrible location.

agree
We drove by it the first time, had a difficult time trying to get back to it.
Time to leave MA and go to
Time to leave MA and go to someone more livable
Doing right by their customers
I'm guessing that when they say:
they intend to refund the value of previously purchased gift cards... unlike L'Espalier.
No food place can make it in that location

Mediocre food, mediocre location
