“Penny was our serverShe is pleasant with some humor.The atmosphere felt like old Italian, likes scenes in the old Mob movies, very warm and comfortable.Parking: Plenty right off route 1 north. Level and easy for handicap entrance to Restaurant or Lounge.Wheelchair accessibility: Level with parking, and wide entrance doors.“
“My wife and I found ourselves stuck in Cambridge as a result of certain family entanglements. We were feeling glum with no bright options for spending the evening. THEN.... we stumbled into Pammys and things went technicolor. We were seated at the southeast end of bar and were almost immediately sipping a 29 degree Martini and an Oaxaca Old Fashioned. In addition to being a really great bar full of fashionable, chatty and probably interesting local people, Pammy's also has a full menu of really great food including asparagus served with a cured egg yolk and a circle of something very tasty that resembles a large egg white cut into a slice. We also tried crispy mushrooms, some fish, pasta, bread pudding and some really delicious bread (which is offered free of charge, at least at the bar.) The staff of the restaurant, including a woman who I believe was the Eponymous Pammy of Pammys, were all very friendly and made us feel welcome being in Cambridge. We met a very nice person from Maine which was another exciting wrinkle to the experience. We will definitely go back the next time life throws us a curveball and we are stuck in the Boston metro area. A big thanks to Pammys for salvaging our night!“
“We got very fortunate and grabbed a table as soon as we came in, it was Marathon Monday. Order the mushroom pizza and the kale and nappa cabbage salad. Both came very quickly, and was delicious. Our server, Israel, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and caring. He was fantastic. A great place for food....enjoy“
“Woods Hill Pier 4 offers a dining experience like no other! Nestled by the water, the ambiance is both elegant and relaxed, creating the perfect setting for a memorable meal. The farm-to-table concept shines through in every dish, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients that burst with flavor.“
“The chef personally brought our food to the table and came over to ask how everything was after a few minutes. The crispy artichoke salad is easily one of the best salads I’ve ever had. 10/10! Great atmosphere and vibe. We will definitely be back!“
“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“
“This restaurant has an amazing vibe, great acoustically, great atmosphere, phenomenal staff. That being said the star is the food itself. The flavors are layered perfectly, not over seasoned and displayed artistically. Also, the prices were very reasonable for the value. Can’t wait to go back!!“
“Great place for food and drinks in Boston. The food quality is much better than your average food court and alcohol is available. It's not as large as the one in Lisbon but there's still a decent variety of food choices. We had lunch there prior to a Red Sox game and went there for supper after the game. The place was not overly busy both times so it was easy to find seating.Overall, we prefer the Time Out Market over the High Street Place food hall downtown. At Time Out Market your food is served on real plates with proper cutlery and the beer comes in a glass. At High Street Place, your food is served in takeout containers with plastic cutlery and draft beer in a plastic cup.“
“First time dining at Ledger tonight and we absolutely loved it. The food was wonderful (we both got the Cod special and it was incredible) and the servers were very friendly and accommodating. The martinis were very good. We sat at the bar and will definitely be back!“
“Flawless from start to finish. I came here by myself and arrived a few minutes early- everyone was extremely welcoming and attentive from the moment I stepped in.I ate at the bar and the service was again warm and attentive. The food is phenomenal. It's not inexpensive but it is worth every cent.Seems odd to recommend the asparagus at a seafood restaurant- but have the asparagus! Perfectly cooked and flavorful. The crab cake was excellent and the buttermilk biscuit is reason enough to travel to Boston.This is my second visit and it has been fantastic each time.“
“What a lovely restaurant. The outside is swagger with flowers around the door, very much like cafes in Paris. The food was spectacular. We had oysters and shrimp, shepherd’s pie, beetroot and blood orange salad, homemade tagliatelle bolognese and a spicy lobster pasta dish. Desserts are inventive and delicious. We got a banana sundae, a combination of bananas foster with banana bread and ice cream. The cocktails are beautiful. Different and cool with fun names. There are two bars in a lovely cozy setting of white lights, windows and hardwood floors. Definitely will be back.“
“While enjoyable, I came in with higher expectations. I knew going in that the menu was "weird" (maybe unusual is more appropriate?), and after the meal, I pretty much felt the same. I don't feel like the ingredient or cooking choices really came together, and I don't know if it's because farm to table in New England at the start of spring is just unfair, or if this just comes down to the chef's choices. My partner and I shared 4 dishes, and we each got our own dessert. I loved my dessert, but the other one was unbalanced, with too much bitter marmalade. The savory dishes were all fine - but we wondered if the scallops could have been better with a different protein, if the celery root would have been better as a veloute, and if the sauce for the lamb were not so sweet.Still, I think I'd like to come back when the farms in New England have better produce and try again.Kid-friendliness: Not really - this is a place for very adventurous adults“
“Delicious and safe dining experience- the food was unbelievably fresh and creative. All servers went out of their way to be attentive and friendly- the mulled wine was the perfect beverage on this chilly afternoon! We brought blankets- and used them!“
“Love this place. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great drinks. My gf and I tend to always get the same thing-Pan roasted chicken, and the jambalaya. Been favorites for years. Large selection of beers and cocktails. Highly recommend for anyone new to the area. It has a great "Somerville" vibe.“
“Nice gastro pub in South Boston. It's better than nearby Tavern. Great buffalo wings and an interesting spin on Thai chilli wings with good heat. Raw beef tartare with delicious with quail egg cracked on top. Crudo was decent but I wouldn't get it again. My brother in law is a pizza aficionado, and he said this pizza was amazing. Cold beer also!“
“My wife gets all the credit for introducing me to this restaurant. I didn't know what to expect, but definitely one of the best restaurants I've been to in Massachusetts. This place isn't just great food, but also extremely friendly staff. I unfortunately didn't think to take photos, but we got the whipped ricotta and shared the salad. I got the chicken dish and my wife the pasta. Everything was amazing. It does seem like the dishes are on a fairly frequent rotation so new dishes pop up unless I'm mistaken. Highly recommend trying this place out and make sure you get reservations as there is limited seating.“
“Today was our last day in Boston during our four day outing and we were looking for a place to end off our trip with a bang. Did not disappoint!!! The layout and vide of the restaurant is beautiful, perfect for a date night or night out with any loved ones. Our waitress, Shivahni, was amazing! She was very nice and super attentive. For appetizers, we got the cornbread and their croquettes. Both were tasty and had their unique flavors. For entree, both my mother and sister got the mushroom risotto, my father got the scallops, and i got the panini. This has to be one of the best french dip panini's out there. 100% would recommend!!! I wish they had this exact place back in Miami! When we come back, we are totally coming back here :)“
“I never go out to get an American dinner, but this place exceeded my expectations! We got the mushroom pizza (spectacular, good amount of sauce and toppings), the burrata pizza (good when it's hot and immediately after it is delivered to table, the apple salad (phenomenal, good about of sauce and excellent assortment of toppings), and the Caesar (classic Caesar nothing too special). But the item that stood out the most was the TRUFFLE FRIES. Best truffle fries Ive had in a very long time. Great fries and the seasoning was above and beyond. didn't come with an aoili dipping sauce oddly, but i was super content with the fries alone. super flavorful and had the right about of everything on it.“
“After every bite we found ourselves saying “mmmm this is so good”. From one course to the next. The blend of flavors was amazing. This is the best food in the greater Boston area. I will be recommending this restaurant to anyone who asks where they should eat in Boston.“
“Absolutely excellent meal with an excellent team. Starting with the amazing bread and butter and a ln orange creamsicle (adult version of a childhood favorite). Then the broccoli salad with poached egg (poached expertly creating a creamy sauce). I had the fusilli broccoli- home made pasta dressed beautifully. My husband had the chick pea stew - whole chick peas made this his favorite. Finished with delicious double chocolate chip cookies. Can’t wait to go back!“
“The lamb burger was excellent. Went in for a quick bite and our waiter was kind enough to split our shared meal - the lamb burger and fries with truffle - on two plates and maintained the presentation and quality of the food. But the real winner of the night were the two homemade cookies we took home. My only complaint of the evening was the back corner of the restaurant we were seated in was a little too dark for my liking. Overall though, a solid place for dinner.“
“What an incredible experience as my wife and celebrated our anniversary. We were made to feel special from the very first moment we arrived through dinner and coffee/dessert. If you have a special occasion coming out, this is the place to come.“
“Super friendly service, inviting atmosphere, and amazing food! The taro latte was a warm, sweet (but not too sweet!) hug in a mug. The pancakes were so fluffy and soft! The towoomba panini, however, was the star of the show! It was so fresh, unusual, and absolutely delicious! All in all, I can't recommend Cafe Weekend highly enough!“
“Ocean Prime came highly recommended to me by a number of people when I was planning my husbands’s surprise 40th dinner party. I had never been there before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. I went in knowing it was pricey and upscale which was fitting for the special occasion. Let me just say we had an absolutely incredible night. We had a larger party and Yasmin helped me plan the event and accommodated all of us. The hostess was even in on the surprise as she pretended to seat us for 2 when we arrived. Anthony was our server and he was so incredibly patient and fun and very very efficient. He and Yasmin made this a night to remember and I was able to relax knowing that everything was being taken care of behind the scenes. We were even given a private room which we did not expect at all and that made our experience that much better. The food and atmosphere were just so great and so special. We will be coming back for sure and recommend Ocean Prime to anyone who is looking to have more of fancy/upscale experience in the Seaport. It was perfection!“
“Our server Jack was just wonderful. The owner also came over and helped us pick out wine and really nice. We felt very well taken care of and the atmosphere was lovely. The food was delicious, but quite pricey so I would save this for a special occasion. But it's a must!!“
“This review is for the Brookline location of The Abbey. The Abbey doesn't do reservations or call ahead. We showed up around 6:00ish on a Saturday night and were told there was a 20 - 30 minute wait. We were welcome to sit at the bar, but there was no place for four people to sit together, so we lurked near the door and chatted, ducked customers walking in and out and staff taking orders, running food and clearing plates. It's a small space when all the tables are full and people are a few deep at the bar, but that just added to the ambiance. I was seated facing the wall so I didn't see quite how busy it got, but the noise was at "lively" level. We could still have a conversation but needed to speak up to be heard across the table. We were able to snag a table after about 30 minutes. The basics first: The drinks, food and service were fantastic! This is our second time here, the first being ages ago when they had the covered tables outside early in the pandemic. I've been wanting to come back forever, but don't usually get to this part of Brookline. I need to change that or head to Cambridge too! I started with a winter sangria (red wine, brandy, spiced rum, apricot and allspice) that was delicious. They have a pretty extensive gluten free menu, which is nice. My friend wanted the GF pasta Bolognese, but she is dairy free to so that was not an option. We ordered two of the slow-braised short rib "French dip" egg rolls with gruyere, horseradish aioli, and red wine demi for the table. Loved this! I never finish apps and I inhaled this. I was fine with that, I could just put my main in a take home container. We also got the black kale & Brussels sprouts salad, avocado, pepitas, Crispy bacon, and a fried duck egg. Even if you think you don't like kale and or Brussels sprouts, get this dish! I got the "Thanksgiving" panini (house roasted turkey, cornbread stuffing, cheddar, arugula, cranberry aioli, hand-cut fries). It was delicious and can't wait for the leftovers. The hanger steak frites came topped with watercress and a madeira sauce. It was the most tender steak that I've ever had. For sides my friends also ordered shredded Brussels sprouts and pan roasted cauliflower with capers and pecorino as sides. Not to be missed are the hand cut fries that are the embodiment of French fries perfection. They are a must order, either plain or with truffles and cheese. Fried potato nirvana! As I said, the place was packed, but service was attentive and Ty (sp?), our server made sure allergy info was provided to the kitchen. He made great suggestions for items to try. The Brookline location does not serve dessert (sad panda) but the Cambridge location does. Good to note for next time! Did I mention that the kitchen is open until 1:30 AM every night? Perfect for late night bites.“
“The food is delicious. The service is professional and friendly. Love, love love Deuxave. The atmosphere is great. Very attractive and you can hear the other people at your table but the tables are spaced well enough that you’re not hearing other tables.“
“The food was delicious, The service was wonderful, very nice and friendly people. Although I didn't see it on the menu, I asked the bartender about the French 75, which is my favorite drink, and I'm quite picky about it. THEY MADE THE BEST FRECH 75 that I had in Boston. Highly recommended!“
“Finally made it here! It was everything we imagined, and more. The bartender was also our server. He was efficiently managing the whole place. Started with an appetizer special of corned beef poutine. We also had corned beef pizza and shepherds pie. Everything was absolutely delicious.If you’re looking for great food, beer, service and a cozy Irish pub atmosphere this is the place for you. We can’t wait to come back.“
“We have been to North Street Grille a couple times now and loved everything we had! Chicken and waffle sliders, cinnamon roll pancake, sweet and savory sandwich - all amazing! Our waitress was exceptional and made the experience that much better!“
“We came here for Easter dinner with a group of 4. The seating area is warm and comfortable while still feeling a bit more upscale - a great location for a date night or special occasion. We enjoyed the dishes overall and appreciated that you could get a glimpse into the kitchen from the dining room. What we ordered: - Tuna crudo: Interesting flavors. The fish tasted fresh but could have used some more acidity. - Fried hen-of-the-woods mushrooms: Nice, crisp, and well seasoned. - Sautéed heirloom carrots: The carrots were nicely cooked but the glaze was a bit too sweet. - Seared scallops: The scallops were perfectly seared and paired well with the lentils and sauce. - Phyllo-wrapped cod: We were surprised how crispy this was even though it was sitting in the sauce. The lobster stew was full of flavor. One of our favorites of the night. - Seafood risotto: The risotto was well cooked but the dish could have included more seafood. - Lemon pepper half chicken: The juices of the chicken soaked into the beets to make a delicious bite.“
“A must visit when in south end, an uptown vibrant cafe in heart of the city, serving delicious food and good drinks! Slightly higher on price, but a decent spot if you want to have that 11pm-12am dinner. The chicken in 20 garlic cloves is the DISH I’D GO BACK FOR A MILLION TIMES. Otherwise the Franklin Burger is also a must try! The bartenders make fire cocktails! Manager Sean endured a very good experience in general, go there alone or with a couple of friends and you’ll have a great time!“
“The food was so good and our waiter was really kind. We got two original cocktails off the menu and we really enjoyed them. We'd come back more often if we lived closer!Kid-friendliness: Our 10 year-old was more than welcomed. His pizza was delicious.“
“We had the best experience yesterday at Olde Main Street Pub. We sat outside and it was great people and dog watching. We started with the curry fries, which we had never had but the server encouraged the choice..it was delicious. I had salmon with summer succotash and my husband loved the curry so much, he ordered the veggie pub curry with chicken. Service was fantastic, very friendly, polite and informative. We will definitely come back.“
“First time won’t be the last at Alden & Harlow! From the delicious rum and star fruit inspired cocktails to the array of tapas options it was a tremendous treat!Highly recommend the basil pasta, brussels and secret burger. So good I don’t know whether to order all of these again or continue to explore the menu that seems to be loaded with other great options.Great vibe and beautiful restaurant!“
“I have never posted a review before. My wife and I are visiting Boston during the winter and we ate dinner at Summer Shack last night. We ate at Atlanta Fish Co a few days ago and that was good too. We went to Pescador tonight and it was so very bad we paid the check, left the food and went back to the Summer Shack because it was so incredibly good. Recommend to all who love great shellfish and lobster. The best.“
“Great addition to the neighborhood. Worth anywait time. The staff was very friendly knowledgeable, gave great recommendations. I started with a vanilla ice coffee. So good. Not to sweet at all. For my meal I got a special which was gouda grits, cant remember the name if the steak tips and a over easy egg. When I tell you this is so mouth watering. All the flavors together was perfect. The owner even came around talking to patrons which I felt gave it an even more home feeling touch.“
“what a special place. the service from start to finish was attentive, warm, and knowledgeable. Cloe was wonderful. the food was pretty close to perfect. the burrata with giardiniaria was insane. the chocolate strawberry dessert was divine. the mocktails were inspired. I wanted to ear the exacts same meal right after I finished. thanks so much. can't wait to come back!“
“Fantastic food and great service! There were lots of fun pizza flavors and toppings to enjoy that were quite unique. And don't sleep on the starters! I enjoyed the shrimp toast the most, but I really appreciated how tasty the sauces of each dish were. Great vibe for dinners with friends or a date night, and reasonable prices for food of this quality and restaurant of this vibe. Would definitely love to come back!“
“It’s been a long time since I last dined here and it was just as amazing as I remember. We loved all of the food here—excellent and of a high caliber. We started with the oysters which were (I think) the best oysters I’ve ever had. They brought out bread afterwards with freshly scooped butter. Might be some of the best rolls and butter I’ve had too. The bread, lightly salted on top, was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The butter, which melts into the bread as you spread it, had notes of honey in it too adding an extra sweetness. Top tier.All of the entrees were stellar, and one thing I loved was how appropriate the portion sizes were. We finished everything and were content without being overly full. The steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection with mashed potatoes. The creamy carbonara was flavorful with the squash. The branzino was also cooked perfectly and came with tasty sides. And lastly the scallops had a great sauce and went well with the mushrooms.We tried the date cake and chocolate soufflé for dessert but it wasn’t anything crazy or over the top. They don’t have a pastry chef.Lastly I’ll comment on the decor as the vibe was quiet and nice with fun pictures hanging around. The back door is also connected to a speakeasy!“
“Food arrived hot and quick service excellent we asked for off the menu item Avacado toast and they had no problem making it perfectly 10 outta 10 comfortable no rush breakfastA big thing for me is they didn't hassle me about bringing in Starbucks I hate when places do that it's usually the reason I leave and don't come back so good on them.So I got a coffee before I left forgot to get it before they closed out the bill they were very good about it I thought I didn't have cash and even when I realized I did they comped it very nice staff if I could give them 6 stars I wouldParking: A few parking spots but freeKid-friendliness: There were kids eating by themselves must be from the building“
“The best food I’ve ever had in a long time! The muscles was the best I’ve ever tried! I had the shrimp scamp, it was out of this world! And my husband had the pork chops which it was spectacular!You have to try this place! Besides the best food the atmosphere and service was top notch!“
“This was my first time at the Berry Tavern. We’ve been hearing all about it for a while now and decided to give it a try. Nicole is cute as a button and the sweetest person. We loved talking to her! The food was fantastic as well. We will absolutely be back!!“
“Rewriting my review because the place has changed hands and changed menus. Pleasantly surprised to see that brunch was still on the menu, and even more pleasantly surprised to see these awesome Indian brunch fusion dishes. We got the butter chicken eggs Benedict and the masala chai French toast. It was super fun and delicious, definitely considering becoming a regular. My only regret is that the portions have shrunk somewhat since the previous owners.“
“Cashew kale Caesar is simply the best! Always fresh ingredients. The staff members are so friendly—They were running low on broccoli (new batch would be out in just a couple min) but I was hungry so I got some brussels instead. However, the kind staff worker went out of his way to deliver broccoli to where I was sitting anyways! Great service, will always come to this location!“
New American • $$
“I meaaaannnnn can’t complain at all. Was was pleasant experience. Played Spanish music which I love, not too loud. Food was great & for the price & views unbeatable. Parking wasn’t expensive, even then, they comp your parking if you eat here. Would come again for bottomless brunch!“
“Had a really fantastic dinner here! So many good options on the menu, will definitely be coming back. The wine selection is also lovely and the service was great! What a great dinner option to know about in the neighborhood of beacon Hill. Hoping to come back for that. Pumpkin ravioli! The avocado steak salad was phenomenal.“
“Great place to have a drink before and after your dinner/event.Dietary restrictions: Can accommodate, but only some dishes. Ask server.Parking: Hard to find a spot, best to park in the garage (don't dwi, they check in certain areas).Kid-friendliness: Not for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, but bathroom may not be accessible.“
“I made a mistake while ordering food for my wife. When she went to pick it up, she called me to express her frustration (anger) to me. I immediately contacted the restaurant and spoke with a woman who was on the phone on Thursday night. She was kind enough to replace the food, even though the mistake was mine. It was my first time ordering from this place, but it definitely won't be my last. Also, I must say that the swordfish I ordered was absolutely delicious!“
“Great experience! Great food!!! The food was delicious. I got the chicken caprese and it was outstanding. Then got the key lime pie dessert delivered in a mug. The waiter was very nice we sat there for 2 hours and they were totally fine with that. Clean bathroom. Clean restaurant.“
