“We recently had the pleasure of having dinner at Bosco's. The food was excellent! The menu was well-thought out and varied for everyone's taste. The service and atmosphere were superb. I very highly recommend Bosco's! You can go with friends or bring your family. The owners go out of their way to ensure that every customer is happy. I give Bosco's 5,000 stars!“

“I stopped by on a weeknight hoping for an easy, casual dinner and was immediately struck by the atmosphere: great ambience, a warm, neighborhood vibe, and more good food on the menu than we could get to in one sitting. Getting gently cajoled into trivia night was an unexpected bonus, as is the fact that they deliver via an independent app! Will definitely be back soon!“

“The food was delicious and many entrees to choose from we were a group of six“

“Food was excellent. Everything was fresh and well prepared.“

“Best breakfast sandwich I’ve had!!! Fabulous soups, wonderful menu and lovely people!!!“

“My husband and I recently hosted our baby shower for our first baby at Flinder's last weekend (3/21/26), and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. We hosted roughly 55 people and utilized the entire restaurant for our private event (restaurant buyout). From the onset, Ross and Eric (Mgr. + Assistant Mgr.) were incredibly friendly, responsive to all my questions via email, and agreed to meet not once, but TWICE in-person to ensure all details were accounted for, and that our requests would be accommodated. The event ran smoothly because of their professionalism and attention to detail. During the event, the kitchen, bar, and wait staff were incredibly attentive, kind, friendly, and honestly felt like part of the party the entire time. Our family and friends raved about the entire experience, including the service, the food, and the configuration of the space. We left smiling from ear-to-ear, and are incredibly grateful to everyone at Flinder's for helping to make our baby shower a great success!“

“The food was amazing! I had the mafaldine Nero which is a seasonal selection and my fiancé had the beef Wellington and both were delicious. The Wellington was cooked perfectly and my pasta with braised octopus was to die for. We also had the creme brûlée which was delicious. The margarita was one of the tastiest margaritas and I’m not a big margarita fan. The old fashioned with hibiscus infused bourbon was unique in it’s taste but I loved it. It gave the bourbon a refreshing taste. Service was excellent!“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“I had a wonderful experience at Eastend Restaurant! The food was delicious and fresh, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent. a special thank-you to Anthony, the manager, for being so welcoming, attentive, and professional. He made our experience even better! I highly recommend Eastend Restaurant and will definitely coming back!“

“Great food and friendly people. Plus, live music on Wednesday nights“

“We’d flown across the continent from Vancouver to New York, and drove up from Midtown to New Canaan to see something quieter. The moment we parked on Elm Street, it felt like the right destination. The name might belong to old horror movies, but the street was nothing but calm. My wife called it “cute” about a thousand times, and she wasn’t wrong.

We walked the shops, stepped in and out of small storefronts, and followed a narrow back alley when hunger finally caught up with us. That’s how we found Back End — tucked away, sunny, and exactly where it needed to be. The November air was cold, but the day had a clear sky that made everything feel sharp and clean.

Service was friendly and quick. The room had an easy rhythm — warm decor, high stools, tight tables. A space used well. Fun without being loud, relaxed without slowing down. Sometimes you stumble onto a place that matches your mood perfectly. This was one of those.

We shared tacos, Nonna's meatballs, and chicken dumplings. Every plate landed. Simple dishes done right, seasoned with confidence. Nothing heavy, nothing forced — the kind of food that keeps a conversation moving and a day on track.

Back End fit the afternoon. A hidden spot in a quiet town, found by accident on a long trip. The kind of place you remember because it met you exactly where you were.“

“My wife and I had dinner at The Farmers Table. Service was great, the food was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful dining experience here.. highly recommend this restaurant will be back for more!!!“

“My family and I had burgers, fries and shakes this afternoon. DELICIOUS!! Burgers were juicy, fries were crunchy and seasoned well and shakes were thick, The staff was friendly😁!“

“Found this lounge hidden in Harbor Point, absolutely love coming here! The bartender, GM, atmosphere, music, food we have absolutely no notes…100%. Food is absolutely delicious and the atmosphere is a fresh breath from what we have experienced around Stamford. We have been coming here every weekend since we have discovered Rizz. Love everything about Rizz, hope they stick around for a looong while.“

“We just hosted a big event at the Townhouse and it was amazing! Dana is a joy to work with, her team was professional, and the food delicious. My vendors loved working with them also!!“

“Great… just like it’s been for going on 50 years!!“

“There are enough positive words to say not only what an amazing restaurant this is ..but the employees are fantastic to top it off. From meeting with Erin to guide us through my daughters Baby Sprinkle Shower until the party yesterday .. everything was seamless. Erin always stayed professional.. friendly .. caring and went above and beyond! The day of the Shower .. Kyle and Ashley were our hosts .. they were exceptional! Asked questions .. listened to requests .. professional .. friendly and made sure everything was to our satisfaction!! What a perfect day .. in a perfect Restaurant with the most perfect setting and atmosphere!! Thank you Erin, Ashley , Kyle and the Rye Bar & Grill to making the day memorable!“

“This is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is terrific, the owner is a great guy, and the prices are reasonable. I love taking my family there. We can always have a healthy and delicious meal. If you have not been, your should definitely try it.“

“Nice spot for brunch. Waiter was attentive, menu had great selections, food was tasty. Pancakes, salmon eggs Benedict, chicken wrap and burger were liked by all. Lava cake and gelato was really good as well.“

“Wonderful cuisine by Chef Ben Freemole ! The place is delightful, the perfect escape after a busy day in the city. Will be back!!“

“This place has become one of our local favorites since it opened. The menu has all kinds of interesting items and there's always something delicious for everyone in my family or friend group! The outdoor seating area is very nice as well. The only negative (if you can call it that), is they don't take reservation on the same day so plan ahead!“

“fantastic food hands down“

“Awesome time always. Staff always super welcoming and helpful. Service... excellent! LETS GOOOOOO!!!“

“Around CT & NY Elm reliably holds its place with Pound Ridge, L’escale, Skittleman, Union League, plus honesty the coolest professional staff, blessed to have Elm 🌳..“

“One of our favorite local restaurants. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. From appetizers to main entrees to desserts! Mid week price fix meals. Well worth it! The staff , bartender and waitress couldn't have been nicer! Great food, great service!“

“We had a private event with 15 people in the back room and their event coordinator (Lindsay) and our waitress (Carmen) went above and beyond to make the day perfect for my 90 year old mom! Highly recommend this experience. The room could probably hold 20-25 comfortably.“

“Big improvements in the menu and service over previous ownership. Food quality and a better selection of craft beers as well as a few cosmetic upgrades have made it more than a golfers hangout.“

“What a delightful place to host a party! The outdoor patio is enclosed just in case of inclement weather. The view is spectacular, right on the golf course. Food is delicious and the people working there are so accommodating and easy to work with. We hosted a party for 75+ people and it was fantastic!!!“

“Everything I had here was really good. Everything from the guacamole to the cheesesteak. My only wish is that they served the waffle fries with everything! Great uplifting atmosphere as well.“

“Food was really good. Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service!“

“Excellent service and great food!“

“Love the LA Fit wrap, of course on a habanero tortilla. Great soups, too. All around a great option for a quick lunch.“

“Yummy bowl of Clam chowder and equally delicious Fish and Chips. Eyes bigger than appetite. Finished with a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream and hot chocolate. Jean was fantastic. Great personality, gentlemen across from me were very happy to see him again. Jean was extremely professional and engaged. Highly recommend!“

“Two door is amazing. They have a really good lunch service weekdays (burgers, grilled sandwiches, fries etc. It's not fancy but just really good honest food cooked to order. Chicken parmigiana on Thursday is a local phenomenon as are the Fish and Chips on Friday night. Both nights sell out fast. This place speaks for itself. There are few places with legitimate original character these days. Frequent them, embrace them and support them in all their rustic glory you'll be richer for the experience!“

“Good food and spiked shakes“

“Great food. The burger is amazing.“

“I love this restaurant. Harrison and Blue were my bartenders. They were amazing. The food was even more amazing. I’ve had chicken Scarpiello in 50 restaurants before and I have my favorites but their Pork Scarpiello was the best I’ve ever had! The cherry peppers were chopped by hand. That’s quality. Wonderful staff and excellent food! I wish 90% of restaurants could put this type of effort in. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“Amazing wings !!! Pickles are yummy!!“

“Delicious grilled cheese and hot cocoa!!“

“customer service is good, it just gets busy. Minh is actually extremely helpful. the problem is workers are overworked and the addition of having to take back amazon returns has only made the job harder. Also from what i hear amazon shortened the break time by 5 minutes, making everything harder for employees. they do try, but they also have to deal with angry greenwich karens, so maybe they looks tired sometimes. that's the only negative thing, but karens should not treat workers like their household staff.“

“The food and the atmosphere were amazing. The employees were super nice and patient. The only problem is that there is a heavy amount of drain flies at the bar section. I think they need to apply insecticide to all the drains and clean them thoroughly, and not to leave wet towels because that could attract them.“

“My girlfriends and I was just at Moderne Barn last night. It was my first time eating here. I have to say the overall environment was very friendly, welcoming, beautiful. By the way I love the chandeliers. We sat upstairs - very nice area. Plenty of people eating here. The food and drinks I may add is very delicious. I had salmon and white wine and sangria. Have to say no complaints. The staff very very nice and friendly. Highly highly recommend. Thank you Moderne Barn for a lovely ladies night out!“
