111 Lives Up to Its Billing!

The Boston Sunday Globe

From the moment you enter the restaurant, you will quickly note this steakhouse lacks the dark heavy woods found at its traditional competitors. High ceilings, bright windows, light colors, a spacious dining room and white tablecloths complement some of the most succulent steaks available west of Boston.
