    The food & service were excellent. We ate at the bar because it was very busy & breezy for the outdoor service. Our server, Andre, was attentive & very helpful with our food selection. Definite possibility when next in Boston.

    We had a wonderful experience at Alice. All staff was professional and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed the octopus and squash flower appetizers. The fungi pizza was delectable. The room is beautifully decorated. The noise level was just right to enjoy a conversation amongst friends. Such a beautiful restaurant!!

    Area 4 has managed to continue making excellent food at a reasonable price for many years. The mushroom-fontina pizza is a long-time favorite of ours. The chicken was much tastier and more interesting than the avg half-chicken entree. Oh, the mocktails were good too.
