    The drinks were delicious! Food was all just mediocre sadly. Maybe we had an off night?

    Great pregame spot. Good food, atmosphere. Pricey beers and drinks but still less than TD Garden. Would definitely go back again.

    What happened to the best tuna sandwich in the entire Greater Boston area?! 😭 I’m starting a petition to bring it back! This is just wrong. 😣 Otherwise, always a great time! Delicious food, decent cocktails, great ambience! But that sandwich needs to come back.

    The restaurant was a nice place with very friendly staff. The food was delicious. It was walking distance to TD Garden, which was where we were going for a game. We enjoyed everything, and the service was quite good. My husband had the fish tacos, which were prepared differently than others we were used to, which was nice. I had the smash burger, which was delicious!!

    Waitress was very nice, wish I could remember her name. Food was great. Second time going to Ward 8, and I’ll definitely go back again. I really enjoy everything from the food and drink to the service to the ambience.
