::TL:DR: Great drinks, sad and overpriced dinner. Went to this restaurant on a Monday night for dinner, so it wasn't too crowded which was nice because it was already pretty loud as it was. The cocktails we ordered were fantastic!! I recommend the rhuby slipper, it tastes just like pink lemonade. The food was a disappointment. The meals are supposed to be "shared plates" so you order 2 per person supposedly. I've heard that at restaurants before and the serving sizes ended up being enormous, so we decided to start with one entree each. I got the sweet pea tortellini, and my boyfriend got the rabbit. Both dishes weren't bad per say, they just didn't have much flavor too them. And they were tiny. I think my plate was $17 and it came with 5 pieces of pasta. We were so disappointed with how the meal turn out that we left and got food somewhere else rather than pay another $40 for more bland food. If you're planning to try the restaurant, I would recommend just grabbing drinks at the bar and then getting food somewhere else.

::Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Value for Money: 3/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 Relaxed bar/restaurant atmosphere here. Food was very good, but with prices slightly above average and portions slightly below average, they get a 3/5. Trout entree in particular was cooked excellently, but portion was very small. The secret burger, however, that my friend ordered, was quite large, although he did not mention that it was the best he'd ever had. All in all a very nice place for after work drinks, or a casual dinner. You could still carry on a conversation without yelling at 6-8p on a Friday, which is nice.

::This is a really good spot and I appreciate that they aim to make as much of the menu as possible in-house and sourced locally. We were encouraged to order two plates per person but three plates split between the two of us was more than enough to make us full and still bring home some leftovers. The staff are super attentive and helpful without being overbearing and the wine list is pretty interesting too. I'll be back soon!

::I've been to A&H about 6 times now. They lean toward aggressive seasoning, and not every dish is completely in balance. Dishes are flavorful and original, but the menu is more catchy sounding than harmonious on the palate. Still, I appreciate their effort in bringing original dishes and the late-night hours. Desserts do not flood you with a ton of techniques and flavors/textures, but they are well-executed "comfort food."

::There's good reason why it's one of Boston's best restaurants. Everything I've had here is amazing and the portions are well sized. Came here to celebrate a birthday and the staff was very accommodating. There's sometimes a wait during weekend brunch but it is worth it. Their cocktails are also one of the best in the area. Decor is nice and what you would expect at a restaurant of this caliber.
