“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.”

I stop for that incredible salad of theirs. There’s nothing like it, covered in feta, Gorgonzola and onions, with that perfect house dressing. It’s simply the best and remains my favorite salad ever!”

“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”

The young lady helping us was so patient and kind with him. Once he picked out his treat, she told us that it was on her. So amazing. The young lady was wearing a Stamford High Mask. Hoping this reaches her parent or boss, what a wonderful young lady and amazing customer service! ❤️”

“I left an emotional review the other day when my online pizza order was incorrect- user error apparently, I don’t know how to remove it, so I wanted to give an update. The OWNER of the business took time out of his day to come to my house to explain and apologize for the mistake. I guess I clicked on the cheese on 1/2, when I thought it was extra cheese (as it was a large cheese pizza). Honest mistake for the pizza maker who also answered the phone and was a bit overwhelmed but a very sure housewife, asking why the pizza was naked, w an angry 6yr old asking me “how could this happen??? I looooove Bronx house…” Drama. So, I take it back- and am so happy we can keep ordering from this establishment. My kid loves the pizza, and it’s super quick and conveniently located by the hockey rink… lesson learned, just call. Us dinosaurs are no good at online ordering.”

The food was hot, fresh, and arrived promptly. The owner was incredibly helpful and guided me through the entire process, from setup to delivery.
I’ve been a customer of theirs before and have had tried their six-foot sandwiches, Italian, chicken cutlets, and roast beef. If you’re looking for an affordable, delicious, and fresh catering option, Stillwater Deli is the place to go!”
“The food was amazing but I really want to stress the customer service. The front staff and the chef made this feel like an intimate experience for our family. I’ve walked past this place a million times and didn’t realize they had food. I always thought It was just a boba shop. I’m so happy we found this spot. We will definitely make this a regular spot!”

“I had an excellent experience with Javi From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, welcoming, and made us feel genuinely cared for. They checked in just the right amount—not too much, not too little—and always seemed to appear at the perfect time. Our drinks were kept full, food arrived promptly, and every request was handled with a smile.
What stood out the most was their professionalism combined with warmth. They were knowledgeable about the menu, gave great recommendations, and made sure everything was to our liking. It’s rare to find a server who strikes that perfect balance of efficiency and friendliness, but they did exactly that.
Thanks to their excellent service, our meal was not only delicious but also truly enjoyable. I’d absolutely come back again and would highly recommend asking for them if you want a top-notch dining experience! We definitely going to come back to Mecha for Javi !”

Indian • $$
“Good food, great service!
We ordered the parotta, Chana bhatura, mirchi bhajji, idli wada and rasam wada,
Rasam wada was the best tasting item out of everything and so was the idli wada. Only wish they would dip the idli wada in sambar instead of a tiny quantity of sambar on the side.
Chilly bhajji could have been crispier but was tasty nonetheless, the rest of the curries were ok but the parotta was made well.
Overall, would highly recommend for some good South Indian food cravings, especially do try the rasam on a cold evening. 😀”

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much”

Four of us stopped in for drinks. Sat at a bar table. Bartender was super. Quite friendly and helpful. Beer was good and cold. Drinks served quickly.
The pretzel sounded good, so we ordered one to share. It was BIG but not good. Not warm. Unpleasant texture (seemed a little stale). Not a fan of either dipping sauce.”

“My favorite Polish deli in the area! My family has been coming here since I was very little, and the owner and employees who run this place are like family. Everyone is so kind, the food is always fresh, and there's always a wide variety of fresh food/deli as well as packaged snacks available. This is a must-stop for anyone looking for authentic Polish food; a very warm and welcoming environment to customers of all backgrounds. I will forever be coming to the European Deli ?”

“I ordered Chicken Marsala and the chicken was raw. I did not notice until I'd already eaten a bit. I called the restaurant immediately and the man who answered had a very hard time believing that the chef who's been there for 30 years sent out raw chicken. I sent pictures to him. No reply. I am very sick today. I called the restaurant this morning and explained the situation again to a much nicer man who at least apologized and said he'd have a manager call me shortly when they got in. No manager has called. Nicks Pizza made me sick, refused to believe their chef sent me raw chicken...and I gave them plenty of time to make it right. With their lack of response or even care for this matter, I feel I now am left with no other choice but to post this review of my experience. I've been sick all day and have pictures of the pink/translucent chicken I ate from here to prove it. I am a long time customer however will never be back.”

“Cafe Luna has quickly become one of my favorite spots, and it’s all thanks to the outstanding quality of their coffee. Every cup feels like it’s crafted with care—from the rich aroma that fills the air to the perfectly balanced flavors. Whether it’s their smooth espresso or a velvety latte, the coffee here is always on point. You can really taste the freshness of the beans they use. Plus, the cozy, welcoming vibe makes it the perfect place to relax, chat, or even get some work done. If you appreciate great coffee, Cafe Luna won’t disappoint!”

“I recently hosted my Headshots & Handshakes event, powered by OQC, at this restaurant—and it was the perfect setting for a vibrant and engaging community networking experience. The space was open, inviting, and just the right size to foster meaningful connections without feeling crowded.
The atmosphere was beautifully enhanced by J Rod Designs, a trusted local favorite, whose decor added an elegant and professional touch. The bar featured three signature cocktails that were an absolute hit, and the bartenders brought great energy and service throughout the event.
A standout moment for me was when the owner gifted my daughter and niece small stuffed animals to keep them entertained during the event—such a thoughtful gesture that spoke volumes about the care and attention this establishment shows its guests.
Our attendees had a fantastic time, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return—either with the organization or for a personal visit. Highly recommend!”

“Being a big fan of Peruvian food lately I found myself in this restaurant due to some rather unfortunate circumstances, however out of all the chaos from that day, eating here was the silver lining.
Service was great, fast and prompt to take order, food came out fast and well presented.
Food wise I ordered the lomo saltado with skirt steak upgrade and let me tell you it was the best lomo saltado I've had, I couldn't believe how well balanced and tender it all was, the rice was plain but with the sauce from lomo and the green sauce made it taste amazing, fries were perfect size and felt fresh.
If in the area or even passing I will make this a must stop going forward.”

“The food is super good, I had a small mistake in my order since I ordered at the other location. It's my first time buying here so I was frustrated because I couldn't go to their other location (they have a worker with white blonde hair who is super rude, I didn't like how she spoke) but there is another girl with black hair, light skin and skinny who is a sweetheart! She always spoke to me with respect and ordered me to place my order again, I felt bad because I didn't have cash to give her what she deserved tip!! but people like them are what they should have in restaurants”

“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.”

“I left an emotional review the other day when my online pizza order was incorrect- user error apparently, I don’t know how to remove it, so I wanted to give an update. The OWNER of the business took time out of his day to come to my house to explain and apologize for the mistake. I guess I clicked on the cheese on 1/2, when I thought it was extra cheese (as it was a large cheese pizza). Honest mistake for the pizza maker who also answered the phone and was a bit overwhelmed but a very sure housewife, asking why the pizza was naked, w an angry 6yr old asking me “how could this happen??? I looooove Bronx house…” Drama. So, I take it back- and am so happy we can keep ordering from this establishment. My kid loves the pizza, and it’s super quick and conveniently located by the hockey rink… lesson learned, just call. Us dinosaurs are no good at online ordering.”

“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”

Frank Pepe’s never disappoints! 🍕 The pizza was absolute perfection — thin, crispy crust with just the right char, a flavorful sauce, and generous, perfectly cooked pepperoni. You can taste the tradition in every bite! The place had a great atmosphere, the staff was friendly, and service was quick even during the dinner rush. Definitely worth the hype — this is how pizza should taste! Can’t wait to come back again.”

“I always have such a great experience at Green & Tonic, and that’s largely thanks to two of the best people there — Alina and Ivonne.
Alina, the assistant manager, goes above and beyond every single time. She’s organized, friendly, and truly makes the place feel welcoming. She remembers regular customers, takes time to make sure every order is perfect, and handles busy rushes with ease and a smile. Her professionalism and warmth make a huge difference in the overall vibe of the store.
Ivonne is equally amazing — always upbeat, kind, and efficient. She’s quick without ever making you feel rushed, and her positive energy makes every visit better. She has a natural way of making customers feel seen and valued, which is rare and so appreciated.
Together, they create an incredible customer experience that keeps me coming back. Green & Tonic is lucky to have them both — they represent everything great about good service and genuine care.
— A happy and loyal customer 🌿✨”
