“Always great food! We always hit this spot when we are in or going through Boston!”
“I love it there my first time there and the staff’s were amazing and I did enjoy everything”
“Pazza is AMAZING! Great service and the food is incredible. Highly recommend!”
“Quality ingredients. A sublime attention to detail. Balance in salty, umami and heat. The broccoli Caesar is a must have along with the homemade ricotta. I sat at Chefs counter and got wonderful attention from everyone. Amazing!”
“Very tasty food, great service. No reservations, first come first serve. Prices are not super inexpensive but it is worth the cost. We were only grabbing a snack as we had some commitment afterward. Only pitty is that it is difficult to share bites if you are like me and want to try it all. I guess we will have to come back! 😜
My favorite was the shrimp tempura, but the eel was great too.”

“Excellent lobster salad roll. Honestly, my favorite in Boston so far. Full of lobster and perfect bun. I also enjoyed the “Frozé” frozen drink. A great stop as you explore the seaport district.”
“PinoyKabayan Food is a cozy spot for authentic Filipino cuisine, serving up classic dishes like adobo, and lechon kawali with rich, traditional flavors. The halo-halo dessert is a must-try, refreshing and packed with classic toppings. Generous portions and friendly service make it perfect for sharing with family and friends. A great place to satisfy your Filipino food cravings at a fair price!”
“the oysters are out of sight! delicious bravo! bouillabaisse was amazing! I did like my server. I do suggest they get some sleep nobody was smiling.”
“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”

“Left another place to come here because the customer service was bad. What a 180. Citizen staff was friendly, great w/suggestions and helped secure me a seat at their busy bar. Had two great cocktails and a delicious pepper seared filet. Well done Citizen Pub!! I will be back!”

“THIS PLACE WENT FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST GEMS TO A PLACE THAT FEELS SO UNCOMFORTABLE TO EVEN SET A FOOT IN. I'VE BEEN TO THIS PLACE FOR OVER 10 YEARS, SINCE PANDEMIC HAVE NOT GONE. WE FINALLY WENT, THE MINUTE I WALKED IN THE PERSON AT CASHIER SAID WHEN YOUR READY TO ORDER YOU COME HERE, BLINDED BY IT AS IS A RESTAURANT NOT A FAST FOOD SPOT I LOOKED AT HER AND ASK FOR THE MENU SHE LOOKS AT ME AND POINTS INFRONT OF HER TO GO GET IT MIND YOU, THERE ARE 3 OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO WORK THERE .....I LET IT PASS AND TRIED TO GIVE THIS PLACE A SECOND CHANCE COMING BACK THE FOLLOWING WEEK AS THE FOOD ACTUALLY WAS GOOD THE WEEK PRIOR. WELL SERVICE WAS ONLY WORSE THIS TIME AROUND, THE WOMAN AT CASHIER LOOKED BOTHER BY JUST BEING THERE TAKING OUR ORDER AS THE TIME PRIOR OTHER PEOPLE BEHIND HER WHO ALSO WORKED THERE STANDING JUST THERE. WE GET OUR FOOD REALIZING I GOT CORN TORTILLAS ASKED IF THEY CAN BE SWITCHED TO FLOURONE OF THE EMPLOYEES RESPONSE WELL IF YOU DON'T EAT THEM THERE GOING TO THE TRASH AND I AM LOOKING AT HER LIKE OKAY IS FINE CAN I PAY FOR AN EXTRA ORDER OF TORTILLAS OF FLOUR. THE AMOUNT OF DISPLEASSURE THESE WOMAN HAVE BEING THEIR IS SO UNCOMFORTABLE DON'T SPEND YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SERVED, ASIDE FROM THE FOOD FEELING SO RUSH THIS TIME AROUND AS WE GOT THERE AT 8 THEY CLOSED AT 10PM. I UNDERSTAND RESTAUTANT INDUSTRY IS NOT EASY BUT FOR ME TO GO TO AND SPEND MY MONEY IN A PLACE THAT FEELS SO FORCED TO WORK IS NOT WORTH MY TIME NOR MONEY.”
“We visited haley.henry on a Friday night around 5pm. The staff (starting with Hannah, then met Ann Marie, then Meg) was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We sat at the bar and had the loveliest time. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.
The tinned tuna belly with toasted bread made us so happy and easily enough to come back for. The octopus in garlic and olive oil was insane, however. This is the place I'm coming back to every time I visit Boston. What a special place.”

“Ab-so-lutely wonderful! If there is one Italian restaurant you go to in town, please, please, please, make it Via Cannuccia. Cannot recommend them more heartily. Everything was delectable, and of course there are favourites, but honestly it'll be hard to find anything you don't like here. Truly magnificent, great chef, warm staff, lovely environment, outstanding dishes, and an experience to remember. Bravi tutti.”
“Went to get lunch when we got to Boston. Was close by our hotel and I love craft beer so was excited to try something local. Split the burger for lunch which was excellent. Tried three different beers and enjoyed each one. They didn’t do flights but do offer small pours so it made it easy to try different brews.
Venue was nice as well and easy to get to in the Seaport area.”
“We tried pizza Bianca, the famous salad and pasta with aged balsamic, and finally the ricotta cheese cake. Everything was vey good. The favorite dish was the pasta. I scored it 4/5 because I think the food portion was small. But definitely one of the best Italian dishes in the area! 👌”

“Some good, some bad, but the good overall won out. Had an overnight layover in Boston during a multi-day train trip and I figured an all-night diner would be a good spot to while away some time. I have multiple disabilities and travel with a service dog. I rarely have any issues with this, so I was shocked when before entering I was told I couldn't bring her in, even once I explained that she is a service dog. Worse, the young man I spoke to asked to see "service dog papers," which is a major violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. When I explained that there are no such thing as service dog papers and began to explain the ADA regulations, he interrupted me, saying, "If you don't have any papers, I don't know what you expect me to do." Fortunately, at that moment, another server swooped in and told him that he was breaking the law and that if the owner had a problem with it he could take it up with her. She seated me, apologized, and took my order. The menu had a really nice selection of vegetarian breakfast options and the portobello benedict was quite good. Once I was seated, nobody hassled me and the server (who said she had recently graduated from law school and knew the ADA regulations) was really nice about the whole thing, apologizing honestly more than she needed to. Overall a good experience, but if you have any accessibility needs, be prepared for potential problems.”
“I went to Burger King and I had the most wonderful experience there was A gentleman name tone it’s weird because I could not get his real name. They all knew him as such. He was very helpful very energetic, extremely patient and had the best Communication skills I have ever encountered this young man is going somewhere. I am a union construction worker. My career is awesome and I can tell wherever he wants to go in life. He is going to be successful as well as Mario, who is his coworker and another young man that I could not really remember his name, these young gentlemen, all three of them deserve a raise before I offer them a opportunity to succeed in my local 1044 construction apprenticeship”
“Friends and I stopped by to grab a bite and witnessed a really beautiful moment! A child and their parent were in the store, and their Minnie balloon floated to the ceiling with no string attached. An employee named Victor tried to grab the balloon and when they couldn’t, Victor went to the back, grabbed a step stool and got the balloon down. Victor deserves some recognition!Maria gave us our food, 3 soups and sandwiches, and all were good.”
“This chain coffee shop located outside North Station offers affordable and delicious coffee as well as a variety of donuts to choose from at affordable prices.

“Relatively cheap on the weekends, considering the parking prices in downtown. Much more expensive during weekdays. Would recommend using the app and book in advance. Super easy! Only downside, the garage itself is a bit narrow, which is pretty common in that area though.”
“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“This is an excellent restaurant 100% Greek food and drinks Excellent menu and service Nice vibe and atmosphere- tables inside and out (with heaters) Our daughter is coeliac and therefore cannot eat gluten. The staff were 100% up to speed with a marked up menu and awareness of cross contamination etc Well done p.s One tip for the owners - you have done all the work on GF - why not put the GF menu on the website or mark up the main menu and get the extra custom”

“Yummy! And dog friendly patio.”
“My wife and I have enjoyed the Restaurant scene in Boston privately and professionally for over thirty years. Right now Aqua Pazza is my absolute favorite spot in the city! Aqua Pazza is kicking on my all three important points. Food, service and ambiance. Simply, I love the place!!!”
“We are doing a world cruise on the Coral Princess and went to Yankee Lobster for lunch. It was absolutely delicious, heaps of lobster in the roll and fries too. My hubby had a roast chicken sandwich with fries and a Fresh Lobster Ale as well and he loved it. We had a recommendation from our tour guide and a taxi concierge... so we knew it had to be good when the locals say to go there. I forgot to show our waiter the photo I took of him, so I hope he sees it here.. Thank you 10/10 gor food and service.”
“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.”
“The food was delicious. We got a blood orange sangria pitcher and about 2 plates per person (note- we shared them all) so 6-7 plates total, and the service was wonderful. It was my birthday and they were sweet to help celebrate. Would absolutely recommend!”

“Went to Capital Grille Boston tonight to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. The restaurant is beautiful, the food is amazing (hello Kona crusted filet mignon and espresso martini), and the staff is all super friendly. The service is exceptional and our amazing server, Malik, made our night feel very special. If you want to celebrate something special or have good steak on Tuesday, this is where you come. Ask for Malik!!”
“The second we walked in we were met with amazing service. The staff is super pleasant, and helpful. They were able to accommodate a dietary restriction in my party with ease and enthusiasm. Every single dish in the chef’s tasting was fantastic. The food was full of flavor and the portions were a good size. I would come here any time any day, Chef/Owner Jen came to check in on us and chatted with us and was super nice. Love this place. Come here for a great time.”
“Sit at the counter and enjoy the best food in BOSTON and a show! This local chef is whipping up creative dishes in an immaculate kitchen that runs like a well oiled machine but with a laid back cool chill vibe. Hey Michelin this place should 100% be on your Bib Gourmand list!”
“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.”
“Absolutely fine dining at fair market prices. The staff was brilliant, the food well prepared, and the atmosphere wonderful. There's not enough praise that I can heap on Atlantic Fish. We had the whole fish that came with sides topped with a fresh Guinness. Everything was expertly prepared. Dessert was through the roof. Great restaurant, attentive staff.”
“Last night I went out with two close friends and we decided to try this Italian place. We were pleasantly surprised! The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauces were flavorful, and the portions were generous. I had the shrimp Alfredo and it was one of the best I’ve had in a long time. The ambiance was cozy and the staff checked in with us just enough—not too much, not too little. We ended the night with a shared tiramisu, which was the perfect balance of coffee and cream. Highly recommend!”
“Mooo was an incredible experience and we will definitely be back. It was my girlfriend's birthday and they made it feel so special. Our waiter was so kind and funny. The food was top tier. We've been to a lot of steakhouses in Boston but Mooo REALLY stood out. Absolutely loved it.”
“Outstanding food - could not go wrong with anything we ordered. Loved the cocktails as well. Service was phenomenal, usually cordial and prompt is just fine for my purposes, but this was a wonderful experience where we actually felt like guests and not just diners.”
“Left another place to come here because the customer service was bad. What a 180. Citizen staff was friendly, great w/suggestions and helped secure me a seat at their busy bar. Had two great cocktails and a delicious pepper seared filet. Well done Citizen Pub!! I will be back!”

“Went today with my girlfriend, we had the most amazing baklava and Turkish coffee/matcha latte. The owner is the friendliest man you can find in Boston. Delicious coffee and pastries aside, I would visit this place simply for the hospitality; it was an outstanding experience.”
“My sister, nice, and I wandered around Bostons wharf area for a quick breakfast and stumbled into Sunny Girl on the corner of Fleet and Atlantic. Would've missed it due to scaffolding but had cafe tables outside. Food wad Amazing!!! BLT was stacked mountain high and the English Muffin was The Best ever!”
“We got the muffuletta sandwich and it was SPECTACULAR! It was a new sandwich for us…the bread was perfectly paired to the style of sandwich and fresh. The meats and cheese were delicious and the olive garnish and herbs enhanced this unique taste experience. We took the sandwich to go but the restaurant was clean and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and fast service.”
“I haven’t bn for ages although I know it’s the same owner who knows who’s who, I had great times in there with my father n his friends and many a nights with my friends , The IV is a Brighton treasure never any trouble and great ppl have always worked there . You cannot go wrong anytime of day or night . You won’t get a bad Guinness in there well I nvr did. I miss the Village I’ll have to stop by for a pint! NC 5 Starr”
“Had a wonderful time, especially thanks to the tour guide(s) at 4 pm. The main leader, “Sarah,” definitely made the experience worthwhile. There was a giant group of young kids that weren’t paying much attention (as young kids do-not a complaint) yet we were able to learn and enjoy the amazing museum and experiences nonetheless. They were very accommodating, humorous, and well equipped to handle large groups of people while keeping their attention. We liked the experience and would go back.”
“By far the best, authentic Italian food in the North End. We have dined at several restaurants but the service, ambience and food is the best! They make their own pasta and sauces daily. I cannot recommend Casarecce enough. Delicioso.”
“The food was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! Perfect for a special occasion.”
“This place is truly phenomenal. From the presentation to the balance of the drinks, everything was superb. Saul was very knowledgeable and was able to cater to everyone’s needs, and this place is so unique. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“Oh Somenya~
Saturday night was my first time dining in. Line got out the door quickly by 5:30! But I love how the hostess took down me and my friend’s names the second we got inside, rather than keeping us guessing for the wait time.❤️ Fortunately there was a table of two available shortly after and we got to skip a few bigger groups ahead of us.
Inside there is a beautiful ambiance and it felt so cozy! We were quickly given glasses of water and menus at our table.
We started off with their Hiya Yakko Japanese Cold Tofu. So delicious and perfect size for two. I highly recommend the Beef Sukiyaki with Soba Noodles! My friend got their Curry Beef Udon. Both were DELICIOUS and the perfect hot temperature for a rainy day in Boston.
Would I come back? Yes!?
Thank you Somenya waitstaff and kitchen for your hard word and hospitality.???”
“Super fun time with me and my friends. Food was phenomenal and the drinks were perfect. Our server was also a gem and 10/10 would come back!!! Thank you for a great night.”

“My wife and I have enjoyed the Restaurant scene in Boston privately and professionally for over thirty years. Right now Aqua Pazza is my absolute favorite spot in the city! Aqua Pazza is kicking on my all three important points. Food, service and ambiance. Simply, I love the place!!!”
“I was there at Jian Nan Syosset, Long Island. Everything went great!! But, those took the orders needed to be more educated to understand each dishes. We were a fairly larger group than standard party size. Some dished were small and some dim sum served with small quantities, like 3 or 4. Those who order for the large group, should give suggestion to order multiple orders for the same dish. So, each one in the group can have at least one.”
“Food was amazing! The staff was friendly and attentive…. Will definitely be back!”
“It’s an Internet celebrity restaurant, but it’s still worth trying. ?Environment, food, and service are both average. ?Spicy chicken, crispy tofu, and boiled beef are all fresh and well cooked, especially the chicken, which is spicy and fragrant. ??The price is OK? , in short, very good in the United States ?”
“North End -Boston. Amazing food! Quick service! You won’t be disappointed! If there is a wait… stay! You will be happy you did! Can’t wait to get back!”

“Found this place on a random search and it was above and beyond our expectations. Our server, Makaylee, made amazing recommendations and was extremely attentive. The hot chicken benny with truffle oil was amazing! The relaxing atmosphere was exactly what you’d want for a Sunday brunch. We will definitely be back!”
“Best authentic Sushi I had in the US! They brought Sushi chefs from Japan! 🇯🇵”

We visited Porto in Back Bay, Boston, on July 25, 2025, for my wife's birthday while in our former hometown. Initially, we had reservations elsewhere, but while passing by Porto before it opened, we met Elizabeth Caton, the event sales manager. She was incredibly helpful and secured us a table for that evening at a reasonable hour.
Despite the restaurant being packed, we were seated almost immediately, which was a pleasant surprise.
Service was slightly slow due to the crowd, but the food more than made up for it. I had the lobster roll—buttery, delicious, and one of the best I’ve had in ages.
My wife enjoyed the salmon on a bed of spinach, tomatoes, and other delights, with generous portion sizes for both dishes. Our friend’s scallops were cooked to perfection.
We capped the meal with the plum butter pound cake, a perfect end to an excellent dining experience. Highly recommend Porto for a memorable meal.”
“Great food and pet darn fast actually. My wife had the shrimp scampi with linguine and I had the stuffed calamari over black squid ink linguine. 🤌🏽👌🏽👍🏽”
“The tapas at Estragón were authentic, delicious and ample enough to share. The carrots and desserts were my favorites. The service was exceptional - thank you, Tony Pires! I definitely recommend this restaurant. We even found free on street parking - unheard of!”
“Maybe the best restaurant in Boston. Yes, pricey, but quality and ambiance are superb. What did we have this time? Monk fish, octopus, branzino, beautiful and original dessert with lemon custard, meringue, and so on.”
“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.”

“We were just across-the-board street from the restaurant. We had had a full day and were tired. Ordered here for pickup and they were right on time and the food was just right for tired bodies. The shrimp was cooked fabulous with the right amount of seasoning and the spinach salad was fresh and delicious. Thank you.”
“the service is a bit slow. However, this can be attributed to the fact that Cool Shade's quality of food is fresher than its competitors. The quality comes out it the taste of the food. The dining area is small and cozy. If the service can be improved the restaurant would be around for a long time.”
“Heidi’s House of Coffee is an Oasis in a Food Court full of Fast Food corporate types of restaurants. The coffee is great, pastries are great, and the service from Heidi is second to none. Everything is individualized to your liking. Start your day with a friendly hello, the best coffee, and a genuine smile. You won’t go wrong. Dave”

“Kudos to Chris our awesome waiter yesterday. He was very helpful with describing their menu as I have an unusual food allergy. He confirmed with the Chef my concerns and I had a delicious meal. The petite lobster roll was the best ever! Highly recommend this restaurant and hopefully your waiter is Chris.”
“I didn’t hear about this place until I saw people walking around with boxes. I decided to go check them out. There were about 100 people waiting in line when I arrived. The line moved fairly quickly. It was cash only, but you can order online in advance so I chose to do that. The pasties themselves were nothing special, canollis were not fresh, donut was stale. There are better pasties in Boston, not worth the wait.”
“My wife and I visited Bricco during our first trip to Boston, and let me tell you, it was amazing! Top notch service provided by Manuel Machuca - He was outstanding, and incredibly helpful. The food was upscale and delicious and the atmosphere cozy, inviting, and perfect for date night.”
“I just had my visit at Gordon Ramsay Burger, and it was truly the best experience! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. Chef Gui absolutely deserves a special shout-out — the food was incredible, was extremely helpful and kind, making the whole experience even better. Great service, and every other server we interacted with was really kind too, amazing food — We’ll definitely be coming back! .Huge compliments to him!”

“I go here so often it’s like walking into my family kitchen. I yell Auntie I’m here and she know what to make. I’ve been here twice this week already and the food is excellent. Probably some of the best cutlets I’ve ever had. It’s just one of those things that you think about it and you have to eat it immediately so you go out of your way to grab a sandwich from here the warm family atmosphere makes it very easy to order and you know they appreciate repeat business because you get a free cutlet after every nine. Right in the middle of Hanover Street you can grab dessert anyway you turn after you enjoy these Premier cutlet sandwiches. Thank you for bringing your family own business into the North End. We love it.”
“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”
