The restaurant has a policy by which no patron, or a member of a patron's party, may occupy a table until their food is ready. It was implemented to ensure that other patrons, more often than not, can find a table when their food is ready.[1][4]
In 2015, the restaurant was sued after employees claimed they were underpaid for overtime worked.[5]
A second location was opened at 667 East Broadway in South Boston in December 2011.[6][7]
The restaurant won the Best of Boston "Best Beacon Hill Restaurant" award in 2009.[8]
