“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!”

“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.”

“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’ve been here a few times now and honestly, this location should be the blueprint for the others. The staff is consistently friendly, patient, kind, and genuinely helpful. That alone goes a long way.
This spot is always clean, the drive-thru moves smoothly and efficiently, and most of the time my order is spot on. Even on the rare occasion something is off, the food still tastes good and they are always willing to make it right without any attitude.
I’ve tried a mix of items so far, wraps, drinks, and donuts. On my most recent visit, I had a double sausage egg and cheese wrap with American cheese, peppers, and onions. I asked for black pepper instead of green peppers, but it came with green peppers anyway. That said, it was still very good. Stuffed, cheesy, savory, juicy, and served hot, which is what really matters.
I highly recommend stopping by this Donut Delight. They do things the right way here. Also, they support the Toast app, so don’t forget to enter your number at checkout to earn points and rewards.”

“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.”

“Casey’s Tavern is a fantastic local favorite that absolutely deserves a five-star review! From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that feels both classic and inviting.
The food is excellent—simple, well-made, and full of flavor. From hearty comfort dishes to perfectly cooked bar favorites, everything is prepared with care and consistency. It’s the kind of place where every meal feels satisfying and dependable.
The drink selection is great as well, with cold beers and solid cocktails that pair perfectly with the laid-back tavern vibe.
What really makes Casey’s Tavern stand out is the service. The staff is genuinely friendly, attentive, and makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit.
If you’re looking for a comfortable neighborhood spot with great food, drinks, and atmosphere, Casey’s Tavern is a must-visit. Highly recommended!”

It’s self service like frozen yogurt and they have different glasses you can choose from depending on your choice. They also have glass cleaners at the taps too. This taproom has darts, shuffleboarding, and karaoke amongst things to do. Highly recommend”

“I was completely blown away by this Peruvian restaurant in a shopping center. I thought maybe it was going to be a real traditional meal but what we experienced was so much more ! The presentation of each dish was that of fine dining and the taste was an explosion combination of flavors that melted in your mouth ! Bill was very helpful and knowledgeable when we were making decisions on what to order but I have to say the real star of the show was his wife Lucy who is an incredible chef ! I highly recommend the tostones con ceviche which wasn't made with traditional shell fish but instead Mahi Mahi and the Seco de Res , a prime rib was out of this world this was 20 out of 10 . Don't be fooled by its location this restaurant will exceed your expectations.”

Indian • $$
“Saravanaa Bhavan is the kind of place people go to when they’re craving real South Indian comfort food. The menu is packed with classics like dosas, idlis, vadas, and thalis that feel familiar and satisfying rather than fancy or modernized. The dosas come out crisp and generously sized, and the sambar and chutneys bring the kind of flavors that make the meal feel comforting and complete. The dining room is simple and often busy, which adds to the feeling that this is a place focused more on food than atmosphere. Service can sometimes feel a bit rushed and a few dishes lean slightly oily, but that’s also part of the traditional style. Overall, Saravanaa Bhavan is one of those reliable spots where the food consistently delivers exactly what you’re hoping for when you want classic South Indian comfort dishes.”

She was terrific. The service is very good. The (3) sushi chefs are very talented. Great, fresh and delicious offerings. Even the kitchen has delicious pan fried pork dumplings and drunken noodles. I’ll definitely become a ‘regular patron’ here again! 😎🙌🏻❤️👍🏻”

Deli • $$
“THE BEST POLISH DELI AROUND. Amazing food, amazing service and super helpful!!! (Under new ownership, so only consider reviews from 2024 and beyond!)
I am a Polish American and we try and keep some Polish traditions alive, like Wigilia. We also love fresh kielbasa and perogies year-round. Being originally from Yonkers, NY I grew up used to REAL Polish food from a REAL Polish Deli. And if you’ve only gotten your kielbasa and perogies from Stop and Shop, then you’ve never had REAL Polish perogies and kielbasa. Get them from here and you’ll know what I mean.
I do not speak polish. And I have tried may of the other Polish deli’s around. I always enter with a “dzień dobry” which is good afternoon in Polish, and 85% of my Polish vocabulary. For reasons I can not understand, once all these other delis learn you don’t speak Polish you immediately become a second class citizen, and there is no hope of getting any help or explanations on all the wonderful variety of foods available. But not at Warsaw Deli. The new owner, Jan, was incredibly helpful. He even took the time to explain a few traditions I wasn’t aware of.
Even if you aren’t Polish go here, and try something new. Just ask Jan what to try!”

“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 ?”

“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”

Peruvian • $$
“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.”

“Had the Pho with chicken. Absolutely delectable. Head chef came out to take our orders and make sure everything was good, even made custom sauces! My one gripe is that you have to buy the board games they have and can’t just use them. They have a VIP only table and a bar, with a few other tables for dining in. The owners were lovely and extremely helpful. Overall would absolutely go again!”

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!”

“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”

We ordered a build your own pizza with onions, fresh garlic, roasted red peppers and mushrooms, and it was absolutely delicious with a crispy crust, delicious sauce, mozzarella, and perfect veggies. The flourless chocolate cake was very chocolatey and rich, and the tiramisu was very good.
Everything was packaged very well. We were offered plates and napkins. Couldn’t expect anything more.”

So I went in and did two things I would not ordinarily do. Ordered a delicious latte and a pastry!! The guy who took my order was sweet and had perfect recommendations. I wanted to sit inside but I didn’t want to be alone. I sat in my car and held the cup in my hands and inhaled the aroma while I thought to myself. Next time I’ll come with a friend. Next time I’ll let the Lorca feeling last a little longer. Next time.”

“This was my first time at this Stamford location and my second time at Insomnia Cookies overall. This spot is brand new and it shows. It’s bright, clean, and surprisingly bigger inside than it looks from the outside. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which is always a good start.
We ordered a mix of treats including the confetti cookie, blonde brownie, chocolate cookies, and vanilla ice cream. Everything was good and fresh. The only downside is that it was a little sweeter than we prefer, but still enjoyable and not over the top.
Overall, a solid dessert stop and a nice addition to the area. I’d definitely come back when the cookie craving hits. Plus, there’s parking nearby which makes it easy.”

I’ve ordered several different drinks on separate visits and everything has been correct and tasted great. The staff has always been friendly and welcoming, which makes a difference when you’re just trying to grab something quick. I do not believe I have had food at this location yet, but based on my experiences so far, I am sure it will be just as good.
The only downside right now is that the drive thru is not open yet. Hopefully that changes soon. That said, they do have a parking lot and there is street parking throughout the area, so it is still convenient.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this location.”
