“Excellent Steak Frites, Faroe Island Salmon, Wild Boar Bolognese, an Ultimate Burger, and Truffle Fries. Check out their Valentine's Day Menu.“

“Lovely spot with spectacular views of the water. Beautifully designed interior. Delicious, creative food. Great service.“

“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.“

“The best meal- great service- Beautiful atmosphere And warm friendly hostess“

“We stumbled on the amazing restaurant and stopped in twice while on vacation in South Boston! The food was unbelievable and the service was fantastic! 👏🏼 This is going to be our go to spot every time we make our annual trip to Boston. Love the local vibe and the chef and owner, Asia, was hand on and personally brought out the food she so skillfully prepared!! HIGHLY recommend Moonshine 152! 💕@chefasiamei“

“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!“

“Incredible food at the Chef’s Table. Amazing coordination between staff in a small space. Very friendly and accommodating. Probably the best meal I have ever had and I didn’t choose any of the courses!“

“June bug is such a hidden gem. Tucked away in Somerville, this spot offers such high-quality food in such a low-key atmosphere. Dope aesthetic, great music, cool staff and good vibes. By far, this is my fave date spot. The shrimp toast is otherworldly, the "like a pepperoni" is such a home run, and the flan (with subtle citrus notes) is like a dessert descended from heaven. Hands down best spot in Somerville.

Parking: Parking can get a little dicey, but if you stick around long enough, something typically opens up at the on-site parking lot.“

“Dining in a cozy yurt surrounded by freshly fallen snow was fun winter experience for our family. Great ambiance, and the food and service were exceptional. Highly recommend for a unique and memorable outing!“

“My friend and I had a surprisingly good dinner. I went with low expectations. However both entries, sea bass and river trout, were delicious. I was totally surprised. Beautiful fish. Our server, who was relatively new to his job handled our table like a long-time pro. I will return.“

“This place is amazing. Everything. We flew in and were so tired but it was my husbands bday so we had to get brunch… I’ve never had better pancakes, Benedict, avocado/salmon toast, bacon & egg sandwich… 5 stars for service, atmosphere and cuisine! We’ll be back and you should too!“

“This company fires employees over nothing, due to mangers latent laziness, and refusal to back up there emploees. a good bricklayer made about 350 in the early 1980's @ chubbs tequila bar your local 7 iron workers had there charter revoked in philidelpia, I wonder why the landmark doesn't have a social media“

“Fabulous evening. I made my reservation a month ago and was surprised when we were seated in a faraway corner on the lower level. We asked to move upstairs and the host gladly accommodated us. Our server was attentive and friendly and made great recommendations. Calamari was a little salty, but everything else was perfect! This is always my favorite pre-ballet spot. A nice espresso martini is just right to stay awake for the rest of the evening!“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“Here’s a revieWe had a decent meal at The Abby. The food itself was good, but we had a small issue with the salad. I had asked to substitute the fries for a salad, and while I appreciated the option, it came already dressed. I personally liked the dressing, but I usually prefer my salads without it, and would have appreciated being asked. Unfortunately, my partner didn’t like the dressing at all and ended up not eating her salad. A small thing, but it would’ve made a difference if they had checked with us first.“

“I couldn’t give any other review—I completely fell in love with the food here!! I still dream about the crème brûlée with pear. Absolutely insane!
It’s a bit pricey but nothing outrageous compared to other restaurants of the same quality in the area. Service is lovely too!“

“This restaurant has a cool sports bar vibe while also having an upscale dining atmosphere. We ordered mango chicken, mahi, and crab cake. They all taste fresh, tender, and juicy! The portions were big and the service was great. The only personal flavor preference is I wish the dishes could have less salt. Overall, a relaxing experience!“

“Beautiful spot. Had our anni dinner and we had an intimate corner spot. It was lovely and everything we ordered was 10/10 in every way (salmon and roast chicken entrees with Brussels sprouts and truffle potato pavé sides). Ordered espresso martini off the dessert menu as my main drink for the night and the Alaskan drink was also great/strong. Right next to Offsuit!“

“This resaurant is by the Copley pla e mall. Really nice vibe inside. Staff was super friendly. Love that they come with the bottle of wine and then serve you onbthe spot. Applaud themnfor that. Rhe meatballs with taiasted bread is a great app. But the Margherita & Bianco pizza were amazing. The dough, marinara and chesses were top notch.. Highly recommend their 🍕.“

“The cocktails were amazing. We only order appetisers but we really enjoyed the food. In order of preference of what we ordered : 1. Broccoli 2. Focaccia 3. Patata bravas 4. A H burrata We absolutely loved tea ceremony cocktail. Great blend of cucumber and matcha“

“Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Great food and drink!“

“Cooks made the most amazing, delicious mango coconut cod special ever with perfectly pickled cabbage! Great balance of flavors. Thanks. Great service, fun atmosphere as always. Also love fresh Maine Lunch on tap.

Parking: Park out back in lot by the train. Easy restaurant access.“

“Xavier was the best! We came in on a quiet Sunday night to celebrate a birthday, and he brought us a delicious tres leches cake with a candle! It was an awesome surprise. We loved the Good Vibrations drink, it comes with gin but he had it replaced with vodka to better suit our tastes. Xavier is a great server, very intuitive and attentive.“

“My boyfriend and I went per the recommendation of a colleague and it did NOT disappoint. We had the dumplings and flatbread for an appetizer, which were delicious, but the entrees and dessert stole the show. The chicken dish was so tasty. The carrot cake/cheesecake hybrid dessert with salted caramel ice cream was incredible. Our waiter was so helpful when it came down to picking what to eat and was so pleasant all night. Will certainly be coming back!“

“We booked the private dining area and had a great experience. Service was great and we were not rushed at all. Food and drinks were good and the overall booking process with Zoey was easy and transparent.“

“If you like spicy and sassy, definitely go with the pad Thai noodles! The IPA I drank was so good I have no idea what it was called. Something about a cat, maybe?
It was very hard to refrain myself from eating the entire plate of cheese curds like popcorn...“

“Outstanding service! Fast delivery to table of excellent quality food. A little pricey but what airport restaurant isn’t pricey. Would recommend to anyone. 5+ stars!“

“This restaurant is dope. The interior is warm and inviting. It’s modern and chic. Definitely an elevated hipster vibe. A chill spot to hang out after work or nice date night. The food is bomb! For apps, I’ve never had a Chinese-inspired arancini. These crispy delights are addicting with their crack sauce. The sauce is a must have on the arancini. The salad is light and refreshing. The Kokoda is a well made dish. I never had blue fin tuna until I came here. The combo with the fresh fish with the acidity from the lemon juice and smooth finish of coconut sauce - oof, worth a try. There’s also another surprise about the Kokoda - there’s something called sea grapes 🍇 and were bursting of flavor and freshness. A nice addition to the dish. I could go for seconds with the Kokoda because it’s a bit small for me. I wish they made it 2x bigger so it could be more shareable with a date or with company. The Maine Uni was surprisingly delicious 😋. I honestly thought it was too expensive but after having it, it was an amazing amuse bouche (the perfect bite). I couldn’t believe that small bite packed so much flavor and complexity. It was balanced and left me feeling happy. Totally worth it. For mains, the pork belly adobo melts in your mouth. So good! The mushroom raviolis are my favorite out of this menu. The salted duck egg sauce is what makes this dish memorable. I would definitely eat this again. The bitter melon ratatouille is not my favorite because it wasn’t seasoned enough for me. It felt as though it was missing salt. The veggies were perfectly roasted though, but it didn’t quite smack like the other dishes. The ribeye is good, but not my favorite. I might be biased because I’ve had better at other places. For desserts, the pandan sorbet is tasty. I’m not a fan of the pandan taste. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but I enjoyed it because I love avocados and bananas and in ice cream form? No brainer. I wished they had a version without the pandan flavoring. I’m curious as to how it would taste then. The matcha cheesecake is surprisingly well-balanced. Not too matcha where it’s overbearing. The matcha is subtle while the richness of the cheesecake smacks just right and not overly sugary. The late night menu - I only tried the Chicharrón taco 🌮. The combo of crispy pork belly and the acidity from the lime is perf. Nothing else to say. Surprisingly really filling. I probably can’t have more than 2 of these tacos and I’m a pretty big guy. The drinks - I love the names and how they have a play on words. The blood orange and the banana espresso are my favorite. These drinks have enough booze and not too much where it’s offensive. Blood orange is enjoyable to drink and the banana espresso is complex with a chocolate finish. Their nice, clean cocktails. Service was awesome! The servers were friendly and quick. They regularly checked in with my wife and me. I don’t think I even had to do the awkward “please help us” lean at all. They were there when you needed them! Amazing 5 star service! You want a culinary experience. This place won’t disappoint.“

“Ieshah and milli were the best bartenders best mixologist I’ve ever experienced they were both welcoming and whole heartedly respectful and respectful to suggestions about the menu here and it was my first time here from Chicago i will definitely be back!!!“

“We had a wonderful experience and have returned a few times. All of our dishes were tasty except for the ninebark salad. It was delicious although for the price they were extremely skimpy with the lettuce, and I finished my salad and watched everyone else enjoy their dishes. If you charge that price point for a salad I believe you should be generous with the foundation of the dish which is lettuce.“

“Delicious food and quality drinks“

“Great time last night!! Highly recommend. This restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate a fundraiser that was held at the restaurant.“

“Me gusto mucho compartir con todos ustedes ,muchas gracias fue una noche espectacular...“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“My friend had her birthday party there! There were about 40 people there and the bartender was great! My drink, a gin mule, was excellent and I was drinking them all night. They provided great food and the atmosphere all around was really fun. I think this will become a common Friday night place for my friends and I!“

“Excellent food and delicious lobster 🦞“

“Always make a priority of coming here when in Boston. The service is excellent and they’ve come to add an even more personal touch as I’ve gone back again and again. Sitting at the counter viewing the kitchen is a must. You see all the action and gorgeous plating as it takes shape.
Absolutely recommend the wine pairings. They are always interesting but also approachable, sophisticated but never intimidating or overwhelming.
Also recommend opting in for the foie gras special when they have it. It changes with the seasons (as does the rest of the menu) and I’ve loved it every time.
Overall a great experience and fabulous meal every time!“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“the pineapple jalapeno chicken. it's delicious..“

“Great place in Boston for dinner and drinks with friends before a game or concert. The Baja shrimp tacos were surprisingly amazing. Our espresso martinis were made delicious and dark. Lemon pepper tenders were crispy and tasty. Ordering drinks on the tablet was extremely convenient and fairly hasty. I really liked that as some great spots take a while for cocktails.“

“This place was amazing! Their appetizer "snacks" selections are superb and delicious. I truly enjoyed everything I ordered! The service was great. Our server Austin was very attentive and was spot on with the descriptions on the drinks and food!“

“We had a wonderful Thanksgiving meal at STK Boston. Plenty of food (turkey, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, gravy) - all was delicious. Full menu was also available and one of my sons had the filet which was also excellent. Desserts were great too! Our waiter was Nathan and he was attentive, consistently checking in, and friendly. The vibe is always fun and upbeat - music, decorations for the holidays - nice ambiance.“

“Family loves the selections and quality places. Our favorites are
• Poe-lenta - yummy Italian
• Taqueria El Barrio - high quality and authentic Mexican. We always get some of their homemade flour tortillas for our taco Tuesdays.
• Inchu-great asian bowls
• Gogo-ya - Japanese in taco or bowl style
• Far out ice cream - best ice cream in boston by far 😉

Haven’t tried all the rest but these are the ones we love.“

“It’s da bomb. If you are ever in the area, don’t miss it ✌🏼♥️😎“

“Piatti buoni e curati , cucina meditteranea ben interpretata“

“We recently stayed in Newton for a mini vacation from Canada (visiting Boston). Every night of our stay we ate at this restaurant. I know, not overly adventurous but when the food is this good and the atmosphere is right, why bother looking? You won’t find better! We tried: - Pan seared chicken: AMAZING. - Fish and chips: when you live on the east coast it’s hard to get good fish and chips but these hit the mark! - Filet Mignon: Full of flavour and tender. - Steak Tips: Again, tender and full of flavour. - Risotto: Wonderfully strong mushroom flavour but yet offset with a field of flavours. - Scallops: Seared to perfection. - Short-rib Meatballs: Meat and cheese combo to die for. - Calamari: Another difficult one to get right and find fresh! This was one of my favourite with the dip and hot peppers. - Sirloin: Cooked to perfection, flavour was a hit and a good portion size, well worth the money. THE HOUSE SALAD: All I can say, EMAIL ME THE RECIPE FOR THE DRESSING!! This was the best item for me on the menu. Fresh, simple and full of flavour. I got it with every meal. So to recap: 10/10“
