“Went in to dine for the first time yesterday specifically to try the Bun Rieu (a seasonal special for just this weekend using fresh crabs from Gloucester!). It was absolutely incredible. You could taste the love and care put into the many hours it took to prepare each component of the dish. The crab roe cake and broth in particular were spectacular. I felt like I was eating Michelin star soup and it was worth every penny for the price of ingredients and labor. I have a lot of respect for the head chef and kitchen staff for the extraordinary amount of work, thought, and love they expend bringing authentic, fresh, and exciting Vietnamese cuisine to eastern Massachusetts. We ate our soup with fried dough and a mango smoothie with boba. What’s not to love? We will be following the Instagram page to stay up to date on the special seasonal soups they make every week or two. Thanks Viet Citron!“
“Hidden in the residential area is the best lobster roll I have ever eaten! The weather was nice last weekend, so this lobster lover finally came to check out the lobster roll at this seafood shop. Lobster sandwich: It is obviously just ordinary bread, but it is fried until fragrant and then filled with thick fresh lobster meat. It only needs simple seasoning - a little mayonnaise, salt, black pepper and green onions to highlight the freshness and sweetness of the lobster. The bread is fried in butter but not greasy, and the cold lobster meat tastes fresh and chewy, not fishy at all, and basically uses the meat from the lobster body, unlike the lobsterroll in many restaurants that is cooked with tongs. It tasted so delicious, so I asked specifically, thinking that some magical sauce was added to the seasoning, but I didn't expect it to be that simple. wonderful! (The price is slightly more expensive now, $35 each.)After finishing one, I bought a second one and continued eating it in the evening.From now on, I will eat here probably once a week, it is very good! !I went and bought two more yesterday^ ^ Delicious!“
“Really good flavors. I tried the mushroom lobi bowl as my main course and also some of the appetizers and desserts. This is primarily a quick-serve take out restaurant, but they do have a handful of tables inside. They also serve breakfast too under another name. I tried their fruit compote (juice) which is house made with real fruit and it was delicious. Owner was the only one working and he was very nice.“
“The food, drinks, and atmosphere were all incredible. We ordered a breakfast burger, brussel sprout salad, and french toast. It was all delicious and looked so good that we forgot to take pictures of it. The drinks were also tasty and decorated in a fun way. The waitstaff were so friendly and nice which led to a fun and easy-going atmosphere. It was a perfect place to go for brunch. We can't wait to come back and try lunch and dinner here too!Vegetarian options: There's a salad section and vegetarian options in the shareable section.Parking: All of the parking lots in Assembly Row are free if you stay under 3 hours.Kid-friendliness: This is a great place to bring kids and families. Its also great for a group of friends and couples.Wheelchair accessibility: The tables and entrance are all wheelchair accessible.“
“Exquisite pastries. The hazelnut cream, the tarte au citron were 2 of my favorites. The meringue on the tarte was so airy, the hazelnut flavor light and moreish. Coffee eclairs have a depth of flavor...and well the chocolate fondant and cake were all one could expect. Very buzzy at 11 am and service with a smile!“
“When visiting a French restaurant expectations are high. The food tends to be exquisite and some dishes are here. The Foie Gras is amazing and so are all the deserts we tried. However the escargot which is something I always try at French restaurants was only ok.The service varies on who your server is as we had friends who came to the restaurant after we sat and we ordered before they even got their menus and yet they had their appetizers first. When looking for someone to call for a refill and even when we wanted the menus for desert, it is very difficult to catch anyone looking at your table as if each waiter will only look at their own table only. On the bright side they brought us water as soon as we sat and refilled it often. That is how I would get someone's attention...finish my water so someone could come by and I could ask for something.The place is very small and you will have to be a party of two and be lucky to get a table without a reservation, which is what happened with our friends..who came in a little after we sat and were hoping they could sit with us, but with such little space it seemed unlikely they would even be able to get a table but as they were asking a table for two was leaving.Its rather on the expensive side which can be understood with the quality of some of the dishes, however I would except everything to be great for these prices.Its a good place with potential to be great.“
“The oysters are amazing!! Came in with my dad, and had one of the best meals ever! We ordered A Tale of Two Oysters, and is the way to go. This way we both could try all 8 of the day’s oysters. Hailey was our server, and was absolutely amazing. She brought over paper menus to make it easier, as my father didn’t have his phone with him. She was attentive, engaging, and just a joy to be around. She treated each able as if they were her only table, and was great at explaining and offering suggestions. We will definitely be back!!“
“One of the best breweries in Boston with the coolest vibe. The beers are super fresh and they have such a great variety between IPAs, lagers, porters & sours. Super friendly bartenders and a beautiful, spacious patio which is perfect for the warmer months. Plus they have great coffee!“
“We had a blast trying candle pin bowling for the first time! Such a cute and friendly establishment. Alexander and Jim were great hosts and very helpful as it was our first time. Our waitress was very kind too. Yummy flatbread pizza and drinks. The bowling is fun, fast paced, and so unique. You learn self scoring and they provide the scoring sheets & pencils. You can get food and drink delivered to your bowling area. I highly encourage reservations but they are also flexible with walk in if you arrive early enough! Would totally go back and definitely recommend for some different and fun.“
“I always get the classic with house mayo, and it’s made perfectly every time (seriously, how do they get a runny egg so perfect?). It’s the perfect breakfast sandwich to start off my day, and it’s so affordable (under $10!) I swear my life improves just a little bit every time I eat my favorite breakfast sandwich at Mike & Patty’s.“
“Serg & Evelina have created my favorite little-known coffee shop and I almost do not want to write this post and blow up my spot. My husband and I go here as often as we can. It is so nice to feel like a part of a neighborhood and community. We stumbled upon Bikeeny and are so happy we did.“
“They have lots of interesting dishes that you don’t usually find in a sushi restaurant in the US. The location is also great, with lots of restaurants and pubs nearby. They also have metered street parking nearby.Parking: Paid street parking from Mon/Sat during the day. Evenings and Sundays are free.“
“This is a hidden gem! We came in here after a bike ride for coffee and an egg sandwich. The egg sandwich was on a homemade biscuit and one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The baked goods were unbelievable. The owner, Ramona, is so sweet. We will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend you check this place out!“
“Such friendly service and warm atmosphere! Love the interior, the booths were comfortable to sit at! Loved the personal photos on the wall and the bright colors of the decor. It was hard to choose what to pick since everything sounded wonderful. The hummus and cucumber mint dip with the hot pita were the best start with! Could have eaten just that for lunch but had to try the bowls. The falafels were crispy on the inside and soft and inviting in the inside. You could taste and see the freshness of all the ingredients! The mint lemonade, get yourself a pitcher! Finished with the homemade baklava, oh my gosh, so freaking flavorful! The family owned restaurant is top notch! Even if your not a vegetarian, you will enjoy the flavors and variety, also you will be full for the rest of the day! Looking forward to coming back next time in the area!“
“i've taken my 2 dogs many times.it's a great place for them to unwind. my older dog interfaces with a lot of other dogs but my younger one goes there to meet people as he sits for long periods of time on the laps of strangers. best thing about it is that everyone there loves “
“My mom hosted my Bridal Shower in the private room at Night Shift Brewing's Everett Taproom and it was a dream come true!The space was recently renovated and looks amazing! Table/Couch configuration is customizable and Night Shift provided a few folding tables as well.My shower was in February and Valentines Day themed, I am *still* hearing from guests on how great the space was, how everyone enjoyed their drinks (& were so surprised Night Shift served more than just great beer!), and how wonderful Mike and the rest of the NSB team was!“
“I walked in today and ordered a simple coconut cake for my husband’s birthday. The cake was ready in a couple of hours. Service was amazing, the lady who took the order was super nice and attentive; she also helped me a lot in selecting a cake. This cake tastes insanely great, is super soft, moisture well, and not super sweet, that's exactly what I wanted!“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“Located near Harvard Square, we strolled around and came upon this dessert haven. They have a ton of flavors to choose from, and they give out samples if requested. It wasn't crowded when I came, so we didn't have an issue perusing the selection, which includes desserts beyond gelato. We went with the dulce de leche and the hazelnut, both of which were packed with flavor. One scoop as a bigger scoop than others, but I am happy to get a little extra, just noting it wasn't consistent. There are a few tables inside to sit and enjoy or it's a handy treat to take around and walk.“
“The ice cream is superb. So creamy and flavorful. The prices are reasonable and there are plenty of flavors to choose from. I prefer a chocolate based ice cream, and they are all delicious. In warmer weather there are tables out front to eat at. In colder weather there is seating on the inside that is comfortable and clean.“
“Even from the menu, you could tell that this is authentically Brazilian. They offer many authentic topping options, such as brigadeiros. This place is significantly better than those chain açai and juice spots in town. However, the price was very high!“
“Best ice cream store I’ve ever been to!! Great staff, incredible variety of flavors, and awesome homemade ice cream. Cant emphasize enough how amazing this place is. If you are anywhere near Boston, you HAVE to stop here. Once you come here once, you won’t be able to go to anywhere else for ice cream because nothing else will compare.“
“While in Boston, my friend took us to Tatte for breakfast. It was a short walk from their place.I ordered the Espresso Mocha Mousse, Tiramisu, Apple Berry Tea (not pictured), Turmeric & Honey Latte.Everything was delicious! Though it was very busy the time we went, so finding a table took a few.I went back to next day to order the Lamb Hash and Breakfast Sandwich to go. I also ordered 2 Matcha Lattes with Oatmilk and grabbed a 12oz bottle of Pear Juice.Dietary restrictions: They have milk substitutions.“
“Great service and atmosphere. I do wish they had a warm food bar option for people who don't eat meat.I went with family with the understanding that it's a steakhouse and a meat based establishment, but we had to pay for the full option and the poor severs kept coming over to me with their skewers.They were all really nice and brought the pineapple and cheese out to me first in our section, which I thought was a nice touch.Vegetarian options: There are options but it will be expensive for just the buffet.“
“delicious ice cream from what seems to be a small mom and pop shop! they have plenty of interesting flavors as well as the classic flavors. I ordered their cookies and cream ice cream which was delicious. their scoops are generous and they have plenty of sizes to choose from. they also have a variety in cones which allow for endless combinations. their staff is so sweet and make sure to provide you with the best service. they a small bar where you can eat your ice cream and only two chairs outside. it seems more like a grab and go place with people going to explore the area after ordering.“
“Such a cute cafe and neighborhood gem! The iced coffee is strong and delicious for a reasonable price. Love the long list of sweet and unsweetened flavor options, especially lavender! Would also recommend trying the pastries, my favorite is the Guava square.Have had lovely chats with the cafe owner and helpful tips from the baristas. Overall a feel good place to try and always makes my Sunday morning.“
“great sandwich pairings and a decent bagel assortment-- wish they didn't only have certain options on the weekend though. the ambiance here though is unbeatable, extremely cozy and a great place to eat and catch up with friends! also a great to-go.“
“Everything that I’ve ever eaten there was top notch and cooked to perfection!! I’m a foodie and can tell they use top quality ingredients, while maintaining affordable prices!! You can tell that the owner & chef, Juan, has a passion for cooking. I travel from Revere Beach for his food and it’s worth the trip!!!“
“Only just realized I've been coming here for 10+ years but have yet to leave a review. Small, family owned business with love & effort put into everything coming out of the kitchen. Great spot for breakfast & lunch during the week. Highly recommend a breakfast sandwich in the AM or a spicy pork plate for the afternoon! Love supporting Bonne Chance Cafe, thanks ya'll.“
“The beer deserves five stars, but the atmosphere is seriously lacking on weekends when the place is overrun by children. Have been coming for years and will continue to do so, but I wish it felt more welcoming for adults without children or adults who are out to get a break from their children.“
“Always a great new pour on tap to enjoy with your dogs both inside/outside. Food trucks every weekend, check their FB for the vendor info. TV for all games or live music. This is our favorite brew located in an old mill building with tons of small businesses.“
“This ice cream stand is awesome! Absolutely delicious ice cream! And the stand is so cute. Like a trip back in time- in a good way! I look forward to trying lunch and getting and ice cream. Hot dog or grilled cheese followed by an ice cream? Yes please! Highly recommend stopping here and treating yourself to some of the best ice cream you will ever eat.“
“I was really looking forward to trying Vietnamese coffee from a café for the first time and my expectations were met and exceeded! I even got to try a version of cold foam that was completely new to me which added a wonderful sweetness to the strong flavor of the Robusta beans. The staff were friendly, kind, and patient with me as a new customer. I'm sad this location will be closing soon for renovations but look forward to trying their 2nd location a few minutes away in the meantime.“
“I've been here a few times at each time everything is delicious! The staff are quick and friendly and there are a ton of flavors to choose from! I just got the maple soft serve which was perfect for fall. I think next time I'll try the pumpkin. They also DENSELY pack the take home quarts and it's fantastic. Looking forward to going back“
“Our first time there and we had breakfast sandwiches with delicious drinks. Then left with delicious, uniques flavored cupcakes (strawberry cheesecake and dirty tiramisu) and French macaroons. Celebrated an early Valentine’s Day there. Also, the staff is incredibly nice and helpful Would highly recommend“
“Love this place! The bagels are great quality and so fresh! Quick service as it always seems to be busy! I got the egg and cheese on an onion bagel and also tried a chocolate sprinkle doughnut! No pictures of the food, couldn't wait to eat them!“
“The perfect ending to the perfect wedding. We had Frosty come towards the end of my son's wedding reception as a surprise to everyone. After a fun night of eating, drinking and dancing it was the perfect ending. What fun so many guests posted pictures having an ice cream. The attendant was fun and helpful and moved quickly. I highly recommend Frosty for any occasion, who doesn't love an ice cream!“
“Lovely neighborhood gem! They have undergone several ownership Changes and I hope this one sticks. I've tried their coffee and enjoyed adding lavender and although I got it to go they still did a fun design Ambiance - although small and cozy the vibe seemed cool and they had free wifi Service- everyone was polite and helpful and provided service with a smile. They seem happy to be at work. All in all I would recommend visiting if you are every in Wakefield“
“That the young man overseeing the entrance and merch counter was reading Sartre’s The Plague was a good sign. So was being located along and near the end of the Somerville Community Path, at least to this cyclist in need of a pit stop. There are three standards by which to rate a microbrewery: food, physical location and quality of beer. Since I only had time (and good sense) for one marzen lager at the bar (tasty and refreshing), and tried none of their food, I can’t rate their beer or food. However, as a place to hang out, either inside—open but small enough to seem cozy, or outside on the patio overlooking The Common, it rates a 5.“
“This is my go to sushi spot. If you're looking for a specialty roll, you need to try the sakura. Hands down the best roll I've ever had. The restraunt is extremely clean and warm. The staff are welcoming, and there is often a pianist playing some music.“
“I can't say enough good things about this brewery. The staff was incredibly hospitable and knowledgable. Some of the best lagers I have ever tasted, which is not to be taken lightly given their difficulty to perfect. Next time I make my way up from NJ this is at the top of my list, cheers!“
“Great Irish Bar! We stopped on our way back from seeing the Queen concert at TD Gardens. It was late so the kitchen had closed. We're not from the Boston area, but we felt really welcomed. Live music had left, but the music on playtunes was great! The bartender, was so friendly. My only regret is that this bar isn't where we live. When we come back to Somerville, Sally O'Brien's is a warm & friendly bar. A must stop! Thank you.“
“They now have some Amazing Birria Tacos !! I use to grab a steak and cheese all the time it was my go to sandwich now I'm going to be ordering more birria tacos ! They're so good !! I went in for a steak and cheese yesterday and I was thinking as I went in wow I should of got a birria taco because I saw they're new menu and the guy had Gaven me 1 free birria taco when he handed me my sandwich I'm like omg I was just saying in my head I'm gonna grab some birria tacos next time ! I was so happy haha , I totally recommend them“
“Great building and a wonderful quaint restaurant is inside. Cozy seating in several small rooms. The menu includes seafood and pastas and more. My date started with the zucchini fritters and then had the fish and chips. I had the kale salad with salmon. My only complaint with my food was the hot salmon wilted the kale. I was just expecting a crisp salad. Not to worry though. Wine was a generous pour. Our waiter, Jeffrey was fantastic. Very attentive. There was live music playing starting at 6 PM which was a nice surprise. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Probably best to make a reservation as it's a small space.“
“Zuzu momo is an absolute gem! If you’re craving authentic Nepali food and the best momo in town, look no further. My family and I had an amazing experience here yesterday. A must-visit spot! Furthermore, the ambience in the restaurant is truly amazing, and the customer service is exceptional. It’s one of the best restaurants we’ve visited, offering a delightful atmosphere and top-notch service. We’ll definitely be back for more!”“
“I went to Paul Baier’ Woodstock AI meetup at The Smoke Shop in Kendall Square and met some amazing people. The service was good, I had an Irish coffee while meeting with everyone at the place which was very accommodating to our event. It was great ??“
“wish i could give 10 stars. first time at this location and i ordered on the tablets (along with 6 OTHER people putting orders in) and only waited exactly 7 minutes for my food (two burgers two fries 2 shakes) And everyone picking up mobile orders and walk-in orders were handled in a EXTREMELY time-responsive manner. the person manning the pickup window/counter was checking everyones name on their order and receipt. making sure the right items were inside their bags. the kitchen staff had absolutely no orders to make and they chatted for roughly 30 seconds before cleaning their stations and prepping for future orders. (everyones gotta take a quick breather now and then lol) some customers werent even out the building yet before their table was getting wiped. music is loud enough to hear, quiet enought to eat.“
“Yummy Green Goddess Grain bowl and iced ocean blue latte followed by a Mexican hot chocolate latte for dessert. Love the vibe. Love the food. Please please open a cafe in Rhode Island, preferably in Newport or Middletown. :) See you again soon!“
“I love this place, have being customer of theirs since they opened, and they have grown so much and really well. I didn't have any complaints about anything every time I came. I would definitely highly recommend this spot for a nice downtime. Great to have friend hangout times, for really anything. The new food additions are really good! Service is awesome, very kind people. Great choice of music too! They have piano and guitar!!!!Kid-friendliness: My sister loves it here, she is 11! Awesome place for family and friends!“
“It was my first time there but I can tell you not my last !! It is now my favorite breakfast place .. ( can’t wait to try them for lunch ) They girl that waited on us was very friendly and you could just tell the day after Christmas that she loved her job The place was very clean , and didn’t smell like old steal oil .. And the foot well that’s another story and why I will be back !! It was fresh , I mean FRESH !! Like everything was picked from a garden out back to make my omelette.. And the home fries amazing !! Try it you’ll love ❤️ it , just like me !!“
“I was charged $19.75 for four macarons and previously wrote a negative review. Recognizing there had been a mistake, the owner reached out with an apology, explained the proper pricing, promised to train the sales clerk accordingly, and refunded my purchase due to the mistake. Thank you!“
