“Excellent menu (and preparation) for those who are looking for something beyond typical Italian. Wonderful ambiance and table arrangement. Great place for a romantic dinner or two "best friends" couples; there's a feeling of intimacy about the place. I would not necessarily recommend it for large parties.“

“Capital Grill is consistently good, however Peter our server took it to a new level. He treats guests like family, goes way above and beyond. He doesn’t miss a detail and makes you feel special. We even thanked the manager in the way out. It didn’t end there, a minute later at my car - out comes Peter to bring out my coat that I forgot. Peter is as good as it gets.“

“Wow. Wow. Wow. Honestly blew us away. I’m a classic pizza person however, we went for the ramen pizza and I have zero regrets. Amazing food. Amazing atmosphere. Insanely wonderful service. If you go, and he’s available, ask for Danni. He will give you the most honest recommendations while also making you feel right at home. A truly wonderful experience.“

“Great customer service, some of the best coffee, great waffle, will visit again!“

“A very detailed review from someone who has eaten a lot of tapas!Outstanding bartender! I’ve been a bit disappointed lately when I go into high-end cocktail bars, and they don’t have ingredients I need for making my favorite drinks. Not only was this bartender excellent and knowledgeable, but as I was naming my favorite drink, he knew it, and he loved it as well. I ordered off the menu though, and enjoyed the “kitty’s got claws” because I am a big Mezcal fan and it looked interesting. It was beautifully balanced.Then I saw him making what I thought was a corpse reviver, and we talked a bit about that, and I was thrilled that he knew how to make one, so as I watched him making one for somebody else. I ordered it as my second drink. I know I’m supposed to be reviewing the food, and I will get to that, but a quality bartender, who is interesting and fun, and above all… Knowledgeable, is a very big part of an experience that has a full bar. Bravo, to this bartender! I only wish I remembered his name.On to the food. Interesting interpretation of tapas. Especially the cabbage, which was different than any presentation I have had before. A large piece, braised perfectly, with a creamy sauce. Patatas bravas were an interesting take as well. Often they are either too small with a bit of sauce smothered on them or they are too big and only spiced a little bit. These were a great size and they were seasoned, but did not have any sauce on them, which is wonderful. And then there was some romesco sauce (made of tomatoes and roasted red peppers, and usually almonds) on the side; a really great interpretation of this classic Spanish dish. (Note that a typical bravas sauce has smoked paprika and tomato paste) and I really enjoyed the romesco as a nice change. We also had a lamb slider, which was big enough for lunch for one person. So keep that in mind when ordering. It was actually halfway between the size of a slider and a regular burger. Also, the homemade focaccia was very fluffy! The rosemary butter is a good compliment.Atmosphere is cute. Loud and bustling and definitely not the type of place that is quiet and you can hear the forks clinking. Really great vibe. Wonderful neighborhood place. We lived in JP for years and raised our kids here and it was great to come back and see this new (to us!) restaurant in the neighborhood.“

“After cruising around for parking for nearly 30 mins, the bartender was generous enough to allow me to park in their lot in an illegals spot and not have me towed. I had called and he could hear the stress in my voice since the rest of my party had already been seated. Upon walking in late, he immediately came over and poured me a complimentary glass of one of the most delish glasses of French red wine idea ever had. The food and service was top notch. EVERYONE that worked there was incredibly knowledgeable, nice, and just seemlessly working together to ensure we were taken care of. Hands down one of the best dining experiences I've had in years based on the quality of service and creative dishes. 1,000/10 recommend!“

“The service was excellent! The custom menu to commemorate my daughter's birthday was such a nice touch. The entrees were phenomenal! Everyone loved their food. calamari, shrimp cocktail, several filets some with lobster tails, some with crab meat, some sliced filets, lobster mac and cheese, chicken, and salad with chicken. The cheesecake was delicious as well.“

“Beautiful interior and food was amazing. The staff and bartenders were very attentive as well.“

“The food was fabulous from onion soup, clams casino, mussels fra diavolo, crab haddock, truffle potatoes, corn pudding, butterscotch bread pudding and choc chip skillet was all awesome. What was exemplary was the service by Makenzie our waitress and Debbie the bartender. Mackenzie made the night so special and was very attentive. What a personalty!! It was definitely a place for a celebration and a lovely night out.“

“Delicious food. Ravello takes an innovative spin on some of the classics. Pretty atmosphere. My only complaint is the space gets really noisy when the restaurant is full and it was hard to hear each other. Has the restaurant cleared a bit toward the end of our dinner, it was much quieter.“

“My boyfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary today and had a great dinner!! He got the lamb tenderloin, and I got filet mignon. Both tasted amazing! Also, we got the smores and cookies/cream desserts, which were very good! Definitely will be coming back ?“

“Lovely atmosphere, but the food prices were extortionate for what we got. The $48 cheese plate was quite small, and a dessert was the price of a full meal ($17), and also very small. Disliked the harsh cancellation policy of $30 per person even if it was before 24 hours of the reservation. When we arrived right on time we had to wait for them to prepare our table. Probably wouldn’t have cared if their rules weren’t so strict“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“What a gem! Super approachable, super service, super variety... it really is super bien! Pop in and grab one of their empanadas when you're waiting for a table in Charles Speedway. Or, sign up for one of their wine tasting classes (wine and hot dogs, anyone?!!). Or cozy up at the bar with your favorite person and try one of their expertly curated wines. Oh -- don't forget to grab a lil something from their ready-to-go deli fridges: flan, salads, all sorts of fresh goodies.There's no bad choice here: you'll have a super bien time :)“

“We are all foodies..former restaurant professionals..we FINALLY made it for our first visit. We will be back! We came for brunch and the ONLY disappointment was thru ran out of some of their special pastries...obviously good ?. Everything we ate..which was most of the menu..was excellent...Can't wait to come back for dinner?“

“Small beer selection, wine and a bar. But they were great, super friendly, and the food was good.“

“Love this place! It's the perfect date spot! It's the perfect gathering of about 4 friends spot! The food and service is always on point. it seems as if the staff is committed to you enjoying every single drop of wine and food that touches your tongue. I love this place and can't find a bad thing to say about it.“

“I recently went to dine at Sam’s Kitchen and everything from the food, atmosphere and service was excellent! I usually don’t take the time to write reviews, but wanted to do so as to whomever reads this review won’t hesitate to check out Sam’s Kitchen as I did! You won’t regret it and when you do you will undoubtedly return!“

“Great menu and friendly staff! Definitely coming back!“

“Elegant, thoughtful menu and wine pairings. Highly recommend trying the themed menu offerings. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Adrian was the best service we have had in a long time. Great place ask for him if you want great service. Will be back.“

“Food is very good and drinks are great but overall extremely noisy, crowded, and even with a reservation you can expect to be seated 40-45 min after the originally planned time. The place turns into a club vibe with louder bumping music at around 9:30 or 10. Legit wore ear plugs to protect my ears LmaoOrdered patatas paella empanadas and ricotta. Definitely dont miss out of the ricotta. That was the highlight of the night“

“Very good gluten-free options, including thin crusty pizza. I was there on a Sunday night with a large group, and we had tons of food and wine, all good.Vegetarian options: Lots of veggie options.Dietary restrictions: They are very good at separating out gluten-free foods.“

“While I typically refrain from writing restaurant reviews, my recent visit to Barcelona compelled me to share my thoughts. As a regular patron, I consistently appreciate the exceptional service provided by Sarah and her team. The cuisine consistently exceeds expectations, and Sarah always addresses any concerns promptly. If you’re in the area this place is a must visit!“

“Great service and delicious food with lots of variety on the menu. It’s a bit of a hole in the wall but I like the vibe and the music/ambiance is really pleasant. The place is also spotless. We ordered the lobster rolls with sweet potato fries and lentil soup and everything tasted fresh and homemade. Can’t wait to go back and try their other specials.“

“The food is good even though my order today was totally different from what I ordered of the same thing a few weeks ago but all in all it’s good customer service could be a little bit better, but it is what it is“

“Mark & Toni's delivers a legit and excellent take on the classic New York pizza slice - elevated significantly with their coal fired oven. If you order a whole pizza the selection of toppings is comprehensive. But it's their authentic Greek-inspired sandwich and kabob selections that are absolutely off the hook! The house dressing is killer and I love using it to dip the souvlaki or other sandwiches. It's a wonderful local spot for Belmont. But it's totally worth the drive from elsewhere to check out the tremendous food.“

“I just devoured the Cubano sandwich...absolutely delicious, and perfectly satisfying. And now I get to kick back with a cup of what is unquestionably the best coffee in town. MAN, do I love this place.....“

“I've been waiting a long time to go to Ruth's Chris and was happy I finally went. It made all of my expectations and the food was outstanding. They were very accommodating and made our friends 80th birthday memorable. It's the small things that make the biggest impact.“

“I ordered take out & had to leave a review, everything was 10/10! The staff was super friendly and the restaurant was nice & clean. I ordered the grilled salmon with fries & asparagus & the fresh lemonade.Can’t wait to order more from the menu!“

“While it took the waitress way to long to approach our table. Once she did great she was excellent. She was the waitress as well as the bar tender. Since I did not know Spanish wines she was patient offer suggestions based on what I prefer and even gave us tasting before making a commitment. The food was fabulous. Perfect lamb chops and the ordinary potato was elevated to extraordinary with the Aoli made with truffle and safron...these were not my mother's boring potatoes...BOCADO is a perfect place to step into a new experience new flavors and present you actually traveled to Spain but without the costly flightDietary restrictions: My dining partner can't have nuts or avacodo. . One one dish the fried goat cheese they removed them. On another dish the waitress suggested something different. It all worked out well .“

“ASTA is a world class dining experience and a “must visit” whenever I’m in Boston. The dining room is relaxed and casual but service is exceptional. The plant forward menu features classic French preparations with a Scandanavian influence. The ingredients are well sourced and of the highest quality. A standout feature is the beverage program, featuring low intervention wines and sake, with an occasional classic thrown in for a surprise! Diners are offered the option of a foie Gras and cheeese course, which is highly recommended.Vegetarian options: This is a plant forward menu and they can best accommodate with advance notice.“

“This place is something else. Very serious Italian food - rich sauces made with fresh ingredients, hand-made pastas, etc — in basically the back of a sub shop / deli in Somerville. We sat in the downstairs area as a family of four and had a great time. Portions so large we took about half of our food home.“

“Great romantic spot for a casual date. Fun staff great wines, good music, killer ambiance“

“Mixed results: most food excellent (veal marsala, eggplant parm, house salad dressing, hazelnut torte dessert, cappuccino), some disappointing (bean soup, ossa bucco special [whose price was nearly double those of other entrees], canolis). Noise level was extremely high. Service was very attentive.“

“We had our wedding at Batifol, with ceremony next door at the bakery. It was literally the most amazing experience. The Batifol team was extremely responsive, organized, and executed everything perfectly. The food was amazing - all of our guests said their Salmon and steak were cooked perfectly! And they allowed dietary changes for guests with all different kinds of restrictions (vegan, gluten free allergies). 100% recommend any day of the week. I also love their brunch and dinner menus. And If you want to have an intimate event, their event coordinators are out of this world!!! Thank you all for making out day so perfect!“

“Dear Annie is a cute wine bar where you can try a variety of different wines. If you are going to have more than 1 glass of wine it is definitely worth it to get a bottle price wise than get a couple single glasses. It can get pretty busy since it is a small establishment. They let us stand and enjoy a glass of wine while waiting for a seat to open up which I thought was very nice. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable of wine, I enjoyed the wine that was recommended to me. There us no table service - you go to the counter to order which I don’t mind. There is an automatic fee applied to your bill that serves as the tip.“

“We had a great server who very attentive to all of the people in our party, who ranged from my young son to my in-laws. The food was delicious, and the arrival of food and drink was at a well-timed pace. Can't wait to go back again for another meal!“
