Restaurants by Cuisine
“I attended an event yesterday at this amazing Restaurant. The atmosphere is so inviting, the drinks were delicious. Food was absolutely scrumptious. And the staff all so kind and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in for a cocktail or dinner, you won’t be disappointed!!!”
“Three of us went to via cannuccia last night, Saturday at 7:30. My advice is if you want to feel welcomed, well fed, and cared for make a reservation. It will be a night you will not forget. My overall feeling as I left was how much better life would be if every place made people feel that they wanted us to feel welcome and cared for. Our waitress, Alona, was exceptional. Even after the bill was paid she was making us feel good. So, yes, go for the amazing food but go back for the whole experience. Thank you Via cannuccia for the evening.”

“We were visiting from the Midwest and stumbled across this wonderful restaurant. Amazing food blending delicious flavors! The chef/owner checked in with us multiple times. Hadn’t read her story until after we ate. So impressed and was happy to support her restaurant!”
“I've been to the one in Lisbon so I was very excited to experience a different location! It is very new and looks to be a secret still. It was the perfect mix of chill and just on the brink of busy. My food was great, I went to Poe-lenta and my husband got the wood-fired pizza from the pizza location!”

“We definitely had a great time at Little Sage, not only all the dishes/wine are solid but the service is superb. I recommend going earlier though. Our reservation was at 8:30 so quite a few popular dishes (octopus, gnocchi, shrimps) were all sold out. But whatever we ordered, they were really tasty and filling! I couldn't digest all the food I consumed till the next morning.”
“Amazing place! Got the spicy tuna, spicy yellow tail, and the tuna hand rolls- spicy tuna was my fav the sweet potato was super good. the service was amazing! they refilled the water and changed out the napkins without you even needing to ask.”
“Pazza is AMAZING! Great service and the food is incredible. Highly recommend!”
“Had dinner at Lucy's while adventuring and it was hands down incredible! Everything was outstanding. The staff, the food, the environment, right down to the ice cold water and beer! 🤣 I will definetly be going again, because I wanted everything on the menu! Thank you Lucy's!”

“Cannot recommend enough. I have been coming here for years, whether for Weiner Wednesdays, charcuterie and catching up with a friend on a given day, or a solo date - this place is the best. I don't even need to see the wine menu, I just tell them what flavor profile I am looking for, and BOOM! A perfect selection is made. The staff are all friendly, knowledgable and truly want to make your experience at haley.henry the best. Come for long enough, and you will feel like family!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Had a great dinner here and honestly don’t have anything to complain about. The food came out fresh and tasted excellent, the portions were good, and the service was friendly the whole time. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal and we left very happy.”

24 Hour Restaurants
“This is the perfect spot, especially since it's in Boston Children's Hospital. Good for what you need in the morning or afternoon, it's up-to-date, clean, and moves very quickly, so you don't have a long wait. They've got everything you need on the menu—great coffee drinks, the whole nine yards.”
“I’m not usually the type to leave reviews, but I passed by Burger King last night around 1:26 AM and just wanted to say that whoever the young guy working the drive-thru was deserves some recognition. He looked tired, but despite that, he was still friendly, respectful, and professional. He got my food out quickly, and it was fresh and hot. Honestly, some of the best service I’ve gotten in a while. Huge shoutout to him”
“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.

“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!”
“Walked in Saturday lunchtime, our party of two got in faster than they predicted, maybe within 10 minutes. Great food and service. Large parties were getting hour plus wait times, so beware.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Great breakfast sandwiche bites. They didn't charge me for hot water and their key lime tart was refreshing. Mildly too sweet. Loved the Grapefruit paired with the smoked salmon on the lox. Husband loved his runny egg on the Sunny girl. Outdoor seating is cozy and quiet”
“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.”
“In Boston during FB season and searched for a Packer Bar - BansheeBar kept showing up and when asking around they were the #1 recommended place. FUN atmosphere, met Packer fans from all over, bartender Joy was amazing and took great care of everything! Would absolutely recommend. BansheeBar Boston Packers Everywhere”

“Very hyped up restaurant so we expected to be blown away. Overall, the food was tasty, especially the sugar snap salad, eggplant pizza, and meatball special. The tallegio pasta was good but definitely more for cheese lovers, and the bucatini was great as well but neither were super outstanding. The clams were a bit disappointing. Friendly service and great atmosphere”
“Great menu. Beautiful presentation of excellently prepared choices. Delightful competent staff. You’ll be lucky to have Carlos as your waiter.”
“I've been to the one in Lisbon so I was very excited to experience a different location! It is very new and looks to be a secret still. It was the perfect mix of chill and just on the brink of busy.

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is a mixed bag for me. Tiny place and basic service. I’ve been 3 times, different menu each time. Two of the three times, I found almost all the dishes delicious and interesting (I always have the omnivore menu) m. One time was just bland all around and one dish was very unbalanced and too acidic. It’s BYOB, which I really like (the wine is always excellent, ha ha). I’m so done with QR code menus though.”
“My husband and I stopped by here for after dinner drinks and had a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. The bartender Juan was knowledgeable and let us try a variety of port and Maideria wines. It was a great experience and we felt like we were in a wine tasting in Portugal. He was very attentive and made the experience phenomenal. The ambiance was also very nice. Would definitely recommend this spot for anyone in the area and don’t sleep on the Port wine!”
“Everything is absolutely delicious! Hummus and Veggie Stew are highly recommended. Courteous staff. Cozy vibe. First-rate!!”
Fine Dining
“We had a wonderful experience! Food was absolutely delicious from start to finish. Our server was awesome 👌 such a fantastic atmosphere Filet mashed truffle fries asparagus mac with added lobster wedge salad martini wine cookie skillet EVERYTHING was superb”
“We had an incredible experience at Grill 23 & Bar — easily the best steakhouse we’ve been to in Boston. From start to finish, everything was exceptional. The food was phenomenal. We ordered both the filet mignon and the ribeye, and each steak was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and truly outstanding. The sides were just as memorable — the macaroni and cheese was rich and comforting, the Brussels sprouts were perfectly prepared, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and delicious. Adding the Béarnaise sauce on the side was absolutely worth it and paired beautifully with the steaks. Dessert was the perfect ending: warm chocolate chip cookies served with vanilla ice cream — simple, classic, and done flawlessly. A huge highlight of the evening was our waiter, Bernardo. We will absolutely be requesting him on future visits. He offered thoughtful suggestions, anticipated our needs effortlessly, and somehow managed to be there exactly when we needed him — and never when we didn’t, if that makes sense. Just genuinely attentive, professional, and welcoming service that elevated the entire experience. An unforgettable dinner all around. We can’t wait to come back.”
“We love La Padrona. It is our first choice for celebrating special occasions often with 3 generations of family. Each time, food and service has been unmatched. We believe Harry, the manager, others in management do a superb job. Our most recent visit, we were served by Danielle who was phenomenal and so attuned to our preferences. Grateful to just relax and enjoy our celebrations. Thank you.”
“Very difficult to get a reservation, but overall a good experience. Aside from the appetizers and couple of nigiri options that I thought were amazing (tilefish with crispy skin, soft Hokkaido scallop, and melt in your mouth saltwater eel), most of the other nigiri offerings were just ok (good, but nothing truly mind-blowing). I think the appetizers were intriguing, maybe a little hard handed on the herbage. As for the price, it's $280 plus 7% kitchen fee, plus tip... It's steep and I think there are better value options. That's not to say that this isn't worth going to, it's good and worth a try.”
“All around an excellent experience. I'm not sure how I didn't know about this place sooner. It is a small and intimate experience. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is not stuffy but welcoming and homey.
They easily accommodated our allergies and dietary restrictions and the menu was excellent. Far better than some of the other Michelin started restaurants we have been to. It definitely worth the money. I can't wait to go back!”
“Lots of thoughts on this one… and, some mixed feelings too. Classic escargots without the shell? Well, unexpected, to say the least. Certainly felt like we were missing out on the experience here. The blueberry tart was really a pie, in both appearance and design. A slightly confusing identity crisis on the plate, I would say. 😳
On the cocktail front, we liked Golden Hour, the peach cocktail from their new summer cocktail menu. Very peachy, very nice! Clouseau… not so much. Watered-down was the word that came to mind right away.
In all, the food was great, the conversation was even better, and the evening was a success! And yet, my search for a French restaurant in the Boston area that can top this one continues... Do you know one? I’m all ears 😉”
“Table was amazing!! After living in the north end for 2 years and hearing glowing reviews I was excited to try it out for myself. I would 100% recommend the meatball and the Gnocchi with pesto drizzle they were delicious. Service was friendly and fast! Would recommend to anyone!”
“Once again, another great experience. We will always come back. I'd love to know how the bartender makes the absolute best drinks. I cannot duplicate it, no matter how hard I try. And of course our entrees (veal chop, filet, salmon, and gnocci) were superb. And kudos to our waiter Tommy from NH, he arrived at the table at the most appropriate times.”
Cheap Eats
“It matches the hype. The Sicilian Pizza is…perfect. There’s not enough superlatives to do it justice and if there were, even then it wouldn’t reach hyperbole. Craziest thing of it all is the pricing. Four slices, arancini, and a drink for $16.00? How? In today’s economy how are they keeping the price this low? Also amazing. Just go. Don’t think about it, don’t pass go, don’t collect $200…go get your dang perfect slice.”
“My wife and I absolutely love coming to Pho Le. The food and service here are consistently excellent. Every time we visit, we order the grilled fish with rice wrappers and fresh mint vegetables — it’s become our go-to dish, and it never disappoints. The flavors are fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. The staff is always friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Whether it's a casual dinner or a special night out, Pho Le delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend!”
“For a guy who loves his bar to have good beer at a good price served by good people, this was like walking into Shangri-La. You can waltz in and grab a seat at the bar and enjoy yourself a pint of Guinness and enjoy some friendly conversation. After a day spent touristing, this was exactly the place I was looking for to unwind and actually relax. Made me think of all the pubs I frequented when I was a younger man hanging out with his buddies.”
“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.”

“If you want a family atmosphere and to feel at home, eat here. They were incredibly kind and generous to our young family. They loved our kids and made their morning so special. We went home smiling and wishing we never left that atmosphere. Thank you so much!”

“We came to Cactus Club Boston to celebrate my best friend’s birthday and had such a great time! The atmosphere was so fun and beautiful, the food was really good, and the drinks were amazing. Everything was perfect for a birthday celebration and we had such a fun night together. The staff was also so friendly and attentive. Definitely a great place for a celebration or a night out with friends!”

“My go-to spot for hot pot in Boston! The ingredients are fresh, the service is great, and the prices are very affordable for the quality. it’s a great place to come with friends or family. Highly recommend!”
“Had an excellent experience with my group of 6 last night! Great service, amazing food, hosts were friendly and made sure to make the dinner special for a couple special occasions being celebrated.”
“Great Oysters, Maine Oysters in particular.
Great wagyu burger but very rich
Good parmesan truffle fries of course.
A busy place so need a reservation for sure.”

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.”
“We had a party of 7 and were seated in a semi-private area, near the entrance, behind the host table, which was very convenient for conversation. The food was very good, we tried many different plated from the tapas (crispy potatoes and the sliders were the highlight). We made sure to order the 2 paellas early, because they did take some time to cook. The seafood and the rib paellas were fantastic. We were very lucky to have a great server, she checked in on us often and kept our drinks refilled. The overall experience was excellent for our first time and we would recommend Boqueria to our friends”
“One of my favorites in Boston, the food is top notch, but where it stands out is the service, everybody is friendly and attentive. Have been 3-4 now, and I always had the same experience. Will highly recommend !!”

“Fantastic experience celebrating my birthday with my boyfriend at Mai! All of our food was incredibly well executed. From the hand rolls to the Wagyu Tartare and Toro Tea Cup, you won’t be disappointed. Su also took great care of us and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!”
“This mazesoba was the best meal my family and I had on our short trip to Massachusetts!! The bowls themselves were gorgeous, and the noodles were perfect to match. The decor of the restaurant is also very beautiful and inviting. The vegan mazesoba is amazing, a must try if you’re in the area and looking for a filling meal!”
“Awesome app's and excellent wine menu. All beef is grass fed. One of the best restaurants that I've been to.”
“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. 🤌🏽👌🏽👍🏽”
“Best authentic Sushi I had in the US! They brought Sushi chefs from Japan! 🇯🇵”
“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!!!”
“Exceptional cocktail bar with very entertaining presentation! I got the Lock and Key which was an incredible milk punch with a lovely caramelized pineapple aroma and the Take Your Time, which was a unique old fashioned take that was complemented with savory toasted sesame! My partner got the Squid Games, which was very good as well. Our bartender Emma was very personable, walked us through the menu and helped us have a curated experience, and even provided tips on how to prepare milk punches. Exceptional service.
Price range was very reasonable in the 18-19 dollar per drink range. The atmosphere and lighting were lovely as well. We will definitely be coming back!”
“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.”
“Yes I am received very good attention from the people who are working there and the food was very good!”

“The quality and presentation of the food was top notch. We were incredibly impressed by the dining room layout and staff. If you are looking for a place to propose to your significant other… this is NOT the appropriate place. As I mentioned the food was the finest I’ve ever had; however, the music was terrible. We felt like we were in a 1990’s discotheque. The music was loud, very heavy beat and not remotely romantic. We did mention to our waitstaff and they attempted to get it turned down to no avail. No coffee or dessert available either. I understand space is limited; however you have two of the finest dessert businesses well within walking distance. Even if you only carry two desserts. I would still go back there for the food with the hopes of different music…even soft jazz would be acceptable.”
“Tresca was wonderful! We sat upstairs beside a window, which made for such a lovely atmosphere. I had Special #1—the chicken parmesan with vodka sauce and angel hair—and it was fabulous. We finished with the tiramisu, which was a solid 10/10. The waitstaff was fantastic as well. Highly recommend!”
“Great New Years Eve dinner! Food was great. Staff was amazing. Will be back again!”
“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!”
“Just went for my birthday and the entire experience was exceptional. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and we had the most amazing service from Rogerio! He was so attentive and personable and made the evening memorable. I'll definitely be going back soon! If you're looking for gluten free options and fun mocktails, this is your spot.”
“Great evening, restaurant was a bit quiet being a Monday night but the food was amazing, and service exceptional. Look forward to trying again on a busier night. It's a must go to place for top Greek food.”
“Great small plates, gyoza, soft shell crab, maki is excellent Mt Fuji a favorite. Delicious drinks, fried green tea ice cream hard to find in New England!”
“Food is truly on another level, all ramen elsewhere has been ruined for me.”
“Wow. Just wow! Lobster roll was packed with meat and so freaking delicious! Clam chowder was perfect! Very easy to order, busy but the line went quickly and was able to find a seat. Everyone was nice and helpful since this was my first time there.”
“Excellent and friendly service, food and environment 👍🏼”
“Husband and I went to Maggiano's for the first time today. The food was fantastic and the portions are huge. Our waitress Marisa was very attentive and made sure we had everything we need during our meal here. Highly recommend and we can't wait to come back!”
“Really impressed with this restaurant! I've developed dietary restrictions due to health reasons which have prevented me from going to a lot of restaurants. When my friend planned a going away dinner here, I reached out via email asking if it was possible for them to accommodate me. They wrote back an extremely kind response saying they were looking forward to hosting me- that really made my day. The wait staff was wonderful, listened to all of my requests attentively and my meal was perfect and delicious. I will absolutely be back, thank you Audubon!”
“This place was AMAZING! We were served at the bar by David, who was fantastic to begin with. He really knew his stuff, made incredible drinks, and was fun to talk to.
The atmosphere was so lively and fun. A great date night spot, or spot for small groups of friends to hangout!
The food was very good. The tuna crudo was light and delicious. The patatas bravas were mouth watering. You really can't go wrong with anything you order.
Churros were the perfect way to end the night.
10/10 experience, could not recommend it enough. It is a quite busy and popular place so can be hard if you don't have reservations.
Every time we come back it's amazing as always”
“First experience at LFG and wont be our last! Food was ON POINT! So much food and everything was delicious ! Fantastic gluten-free options and super mindful of allergies/safety. Michelle our server was fantastic and accommodating and helped us celebrate our daughter’s birthday. LFG has a whole new meaning! Let’s flipping go (LFG) to Lla Familia Giorgios (LFG)!”
Latest Reviews
“Popped by yesterday after walking by this place for 40 years. Saw a handmade sign advertising a meatball sub for $10. ok,,ill try it. It was homemade and actually pretty good BUT in my 60 years of eating meatball subs, this is the first one that was just meatball and bread..(with a sprinkle of parm out of a Kraft container)..no sauce or cheese (although i can do without that) some sauce would have made it!”
“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.”
“Great food. The Pattie’s were made to order and the soup freshly made. Great service and food.. This place is a breath of fresh air in Mattapan. If you haven’t tried it yet hat are you waiting for. Don’t look at the negative reviews as they are just disgruntled competitors looking to create a bad reputation for a hard working business. Give the place a try for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.”

“we had a wonderful experience all around on a busy Sunday. The manager, Russ, greeted us with a warm smile, setting the tone for a great evening. we sat outside and Jorge F, took great care of us. He was prompt but we never felt rushed. the food was excellent, the Lobster cones are a great new item. we also had the classic mussels. The grilled salmon was delicious. Russ was leading his team through a busy shift but was able to make time to ensure everything was just right. The best in the Seaport.”
“We were celebrating our 16th anniversary and my retirement, and wanted to do it up right! We picked the right place for it. Coming in from Cape Cod, for a concert at Fenway we had reservations for Abe and Louie’s, but there were 2 at the bar so they let us sit there instead of our table. Our bartenders were great. To our surprise, Bree almost immediately said “Happy Anniversary!” And our drink order was taken. Michelle made a spicy margarita with a nice kick and a heavy glass, and a soda. Then we ordered shrimp cocktail which were brought out in mere moments. The shrimp were huge and cold and crunchy- perfect! We took our time and were not rushed to order our meal, but once we did, with Kendal, she asked all the right questions, offered to split our salad in the kitchen, and made some great recommendations. I wanted my Filet with their wedge salad as my entree and was told no problem. Our meal, my huge filet and my man’s ribeye were both cooked as requested and his suggested garlic whipped potatoes were creamy and yummy! The food was all out of this world, but what made the dining a true experience was the tango these three women danced around each other, each knowing what the other was doing and exactly what their patrons wanted. You can get a great filet many places but I pay for the service and we both felt like we were treated like royalty. Thank you Bree, Kendal and Michelle for making our anniversary and my retirement a true celebration!!”
“Tailor provided exceptional service from start to finish. She was kind, professional, and very attentive without ever making us feel rushed. She made sure our drinks stayed full, our food came out just right, and checked in at the perfect times. Her warm personality made our dining experience even better. Five stars for both the service and the hospitality—thank you, Tailor!”

“We came to Cactus Club Boston to celebrate my best friend’s birthday and had such a great time! The atmosphere was so fun and beautiful, the food was really good, and the drinks were amazing. Everything was perfect for a birthday celebration and we had such a fun night together. The staff was also so friendly and attentive. Definitely a great place for a celebration or a night out with friends!”
“Fantastic experience celebrating my birthday with my boyfriend at Mai! All of our food was incredibly well executed. From the hand rolls to the Wagyu Tartare and Toro Tea Cup, you won’t be disappointed. Su also took great care of us and made the experience even better. Highly recommend!”
“This restaurant exceeded my expectations, standing out among the numerous Korean restaurants I have visited. Food was very fresh and quality of the food were exceptional, making it a great experience. Additionally, David provided exemplary service, he is among the finest servers I have encountered. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, which allowed me to savor my meal without feeling rushed. I will return in the future and highly recommend.”
“Perfect experience. I had a gluten allergy restriction that the staff catered to and I had no reactions. Cocktails were like others said, curated perfectly with the meals, we left full and satisfied. The desert cocktail was unlike anything I’ve ever had. Both of us want to come back and do it again when we are back in town.”
“Fine pastries made by chef Sharif and his team… great espresso with a French vibe all the way down to the bistro chairs and marble top tables situated in a picturesque cobblestone alley overhung by ivy and beautiful trees. Portsmouth’s greatest hidden gem that everyone seems to know about.”
“Loved the vibe and the drinks. Ordered warm olives as appetizer. They have a nice selection of cocktails though only 3 whiskey based ones outbof which we had 2 and they were both nice. They also made my favorite cocktail, Boulevardier when requested. Our server Crystal was great. She was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this bar and we will be back.”
“Possibly the best chowder/seafood spot in Boston. I’ve been going here since I was a kid when my dad would take me to Celtics games. We’d always get chowder and oysters before. The food has not changed and is always as flavorful as ever. When I’m at school I come here at least once a week cause it’s my favorite spot. I also have spent half my life in Maine so I know a thing or two about seafood. Come to this place!”
“I stopped in after dinner with my date to finally try this place out and we were blown away.
First off: the flavors are amazing. They are both well thought of combinations and absolutely high quality products. This is artisan level ice cream. It is very dense and rich. It kind of reminds me of Italian gelato in a way. I loved the cones as well. You can order a 1, 2, or 3 scoop in a cone or cup. Or cone kind of looking thing in a cup.
The staff here was super nice and friendly. Thank you for your professionalism! I love the atmosphere of the store and it was very modern, clean, and intriguing. I wanted a cone as soon as I walked in.
Price wise, be prepared for expensive ice cream. In my opinion it was worth the purchase for how exceptionally better it was than the vast majority of places I’ve tried around town.
Do yourself the favor and check it out. You will not regret it!”
“A very nice restaurant serving breakfast all day. The chocolate is probably 2000 calories and will give you diabetes, but is also tasty ;) just don't expect you'll be able to eat if you drink it.
Eggs Benedict are only served with eggs sunny side up (not poached), and on a toast, which is a bit average, but overall it is a great experience.”

“We were visiting from the Midwest and stumbled across this wonderful restaurant. Amazing food blending delicious flavors! The chef/owner checked in with us multiple times. Hadn’t read her story until after we ate. So impressed and was happy to support her restaurant!”
