The Talk

H got a Groupon for a new restaurant in Watertown called The Talk. It was a good enough deal that we splurged and got a baby sitter. It was so nice for the two of us to get out and have some adult time that we didn't care if the food was awesome.
It was a good thing we weren't expecting much. The atmosphere tried to be upscale. The prices were upscale. The food was just OK. The Talk suffers from The Cheese Cake Factory syndrome, without the fabulous deserts.
I'd be hard pressed to say anything bad about the food or the service. It was just OK. I get food that is that good, and often better, when eating at home. For the prices The Talk charges for their food, I should be able to say something superlative about the food.
If you are desperate for a night out and want to feel upscale The Talk will work. If you want good food, there are better options.
