Thank you for a wonderful 20th anniversary dinner. The triple dips with flatbread, octopus, branzino, skirt steak, Japanese sweet potatoes and shawarma all were delicious. Service was fantastic !!!! Along with my Belvedere cosmos and espresso martini and ending with the recommended date sponge cake that said happy anniversary … yummmm. Even with someone with sugar glucose sensitivity, Esh never disappoints. I look forward to our next dinner at Esh.

The food at Oat was absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was great. However, the atmosphere and overall vibe could definitely use some improvement. The food was the highlight of our experience!

The dishes were outstanding, and the service was equally exceptional. Our waiter was attentive throughout the evening, and we especially appreciated that our special occasion was thoughtfully acknowledged. The restaurant's ambiance is unique, elegant, and tastefully decorated, creating a wonderful setting for the meal. The only downside was the noise level, which was much louder than expected and detracted from the overall experience. For that reason, I'm deducting one star.

I was there with my son and brother in law. My son was thrilled to learn about this restaurant as he is a new resident of Roxbury. It was my brother in law’s first experience with Mediterranean food and he enjoyed it very much.
