“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!”
“I got the margherita and the tomato pie for take out and was blown away by both! It was not your typical NY style pizza, but something much more elevated and unique. The crust was a fluffy sourdough with a consistency close to a crunchy focaccia. I believe the Margherita was made with ricotta, which made it quite creamy yet the crust didn’t get soggy. I can see why reservations book up to months in advance, can’t wait to come back for a sit down meal!”
“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.”
“Excellent! The best gelato I have ever had. All the flavors I tried were superb.”
“Pazza is AMAZING! Great service and the food is incredible. Highly recommend!”
“The most amazing authentic Italian pizza and a hidden gem. Excellent value for money. A must visit if in Boston.”
“Service can be slow, maybe due to the undersized kitchen or service staff being stretched thin. The food is always excellent, heartfeltedly cooked by the owner/chef and his team. The inside can be loud, but the outdoor patio super pleasant when weather allows.”

“Bartender James was the best! Thanks for the recommendation!!”
“Wish we had more wine bars like this in the city, but luckily there is a sister bar called Natalie as well! This place is great with an awesome selection of wines, including a good variety of skin contact /orange which I love. The owner and staff are so friendly and knowledgeable and we love that you can get half bottle orders of certain wines.”
“Attractive room. Great cuisine and wine list. Service was excellent, including host, who graciously sat us when we mistakenly arrived an hour earlier than our reservation. We will gladly return.”
“Fruited Berliner Weisse wasn’t great !! My friends liked the Riverway. Pineapple daiquiri was average.
Spicy chicken dip & Roma Rigatoni were great :)”
“Appetizers which are to "Share" were all very good. The wine choices by the glass were limited. Problem with main courses however. We were six - two ordered Linguini with clams. The meal was VERY spicy although the menu did not specify spicy as it did with other entrees.WE told our waiter. He said" he would Notify the kitchen" Great, Thank you. Place has grown much over the years we have been coming here- there were no buildings across the street when we first started coming. Atmosphere was great, so sorry 2 of my guests had a bad dinner!”
“Excellent lunch spot. Deserves it's rating. Wife and I split the Pad Kee Mao and Cashew Chicken. Would highly recommend both. Lots of other things on the menu that I would love to try in the future.”
“I am a mac’n’cheese connoisseur and Stillwater is definitely one of the best I have had. I rated a 4 in lieu of 5 for food cause the pulled pork while decent, wasn’t the best and kind of detracted from the mac’n’cheese and I wasn’t the biggest fan. Perhaps add some pancetta or bacon and that would be a
5 ⭐️ but overall a great place. I enjoyed the biscuits and homemade cheez-its as well! Had a cowboy cosmo which was delicious and stiff. My friend also got the flat patty burger and the cheddar was oozing off it! The hand cut fries were top tier as well! Stillwater is a must try in Boston in my opinion.”

“Overall it was a good experience. The environment was not bad, but the dining table was not big. Maybe that was the reason why the plates were cleared in time. Foie gras with apricot jam and bread go well together. It is commendable that the waiters were very attentive.”
“all the food was delicious. French onion soup the best I had. service was excellent. staff couldn't do enough for us. would definitely go back”
“I love it there my first time there and the staff’s were amazing and I did enjoy everything”

Parking: Free parking at night”
“I accidentally went to the wrong Beacon Hotel and the entire staff was so nice and accommodating. They assisted me with getting to the right hotel and offered e espresso. I will definitely be back to visit.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Lovely spot with spectacular views of the water. Beautifully designed interior. Delicious, creative food. Great service.”
“Great experience, our waiter Brian gave us Great service and recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Steak melts in your mouth!”

“We visited from Austin and had to try it out before the Celts game, loved it so much we went back the next day as well! Great pizza, great convo with staff, great atmosphere.”
“The food is excellent and the staff are extremely friendly. My favorite dish is the Isshindo ramen - the broth, noodles, egg and pork are delicious - you can’t go wrong ordering this! I highly recommend giving this place a try :)”

“Most of the individual restaurants at Time Out are worthy of 3 or 4 stars, but the concept as a whole of an upscale food hall with local restaurants is fantastic. Its really nice inside and I love the events like the vintage market that occur in and around the market.
The restaurant quality is highly inconsistent. Not sure what it is about the food hall that makes the food sometimes mediocre, maybe its hard to adjust a restaurant menu to this sort of setting. However, theres so many options and its really fun to pick food to eat, so I still have to give Time Out 5 stars!”
“Excellent food and service. This place is super gluten-free friendly. I have two food allergies and the manager, Kevin, assured me that the chefs would accommodate. Jimmy provided us amazing service.”
“Yummy! And dog friendly patio.”
“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”
“Had a great breakfast! Food, drinks, and service were exceptional!”
“I got the Lobster Mac & Cheese and it was delicious, but definitely isn't worth $38. It's a little overpriced, but they have good drinks and a fun atmosphere.”
“The potato pancakes were crispy on the edges & soft in the middle. Delicious!”
“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!!!”
“Excellent food and service. This place is super gluten-free friendly. I have two food allergies and the manager, Kevin, assured me that the chefs would accommodate. Jimmy provided us amazing service.”
“The food was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! Perfect for a special occasion.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“- Tried the clay pot Chinese sausage and chicken. The small is definitely enough for one person (we even shared it between two for a lighter meal)
- No frills, small amount of seating, but cozy and enjoyable
- Ordering is done via QR code, service is fantastic and they were very kind. Above and beyond in my opinion
- Prices are about 10-20 dollars per person for a very good meal”
“Fresh food. Quick service. Not crowded.
Parking: Very easy, ample parking
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly. Love the crowns and their easy access”
“Delicious pizza ! I also recommend grabbing the motserella sticks. What I love is that they are open until 3am! It’s hard to find restaurants that open that late in the Boston area. If you’re in southie, then going to McGoo’s is a must !”
“Everytime I come to this location, the music is always so good!!
As always, Raising Canes never disappoints. I always love coming here. I always get the box combo with lemonade.”
“The place looks great since the remodel! Always quick in and out if I need it to be. Clean dining area every time if I decide to eat in. Employees are, without a doubt the nicest in the area!”
“This place most definitely exists! It almost is it's own store, but is conjoined with Star Market. Can't order ahead and there is very limited seating, but the staff is friendly and there are bathrooms inside North Station and possible downstairs in the Market. My order came out perfect and won't hesitate to come back.”
“Like most Dunkies you know what your getting, quick service and low prices. This place is tucked away at the back of the food court and there's little on the outside of the building to tell what's in here so walked pasted it at first. There's a reasonable amount of seating inside. The only drawback was that is it was up some steps to get to the counter and although they do have a disabled elevator to take you up this was partly blocked by a table & chair's so if you was in a wheelchair your probably going to have a problem getting passed.”
“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.”
“Had a great breakfast! Food, drinks, and service were exceptional!”

“The food was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! Perfect for a special occasion.”
“Incredible experience. High quality ingredients. Creative and beautiful presentation. Service is impeccable and informative. It is a bit traditional and on the serious side, so just be aware. The music though....... Overall this this place is master class and worth your hard earned money and worth your time. If youre a serious sushi lover come here ASAP!!!

“Fantastic staff. Great service. Small and personal! Love it!!”
“I have been here 3-4 times of the last three years and every time has been memorable and remarkable. The seasonal set menu is so artfully crafted and represents an incredible attention to detail. Tonight the first course was a crispy slab of watermelon covered with a beautiful tuna tartare with umeboshi and sea bean vinaigrette. The contrasting textures, flavors were mind blowing while the uniformity of color and artful plating felt so special. I have found each dish perfectly salted and seasoned. Can’t say enough good things, will continue to make reservations here for special occasions.”
“Food was amazing! The staff was friendly and attentive…. Will definitely be back!”
“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.”
“10/10 experience!!! Husband & I went for our anniversary and have always wanted to do an omakase menu. Was way beyond what we expected. The service was perfect, music great, and loved how intimate it was. The food was beyond delicious, every course melted in our mouths. Couldn't recommend this place more, and we will deff be back next time we go to Boston!!”
“Awesome app's and excellent wine menu. All beef is grass fed. One of the best restaurants that I've been to.”
“The decor is like a sophisticated New York supper club. The food was superb. Drinks were excellent. Small improvement would upgrade the service. Drink delivery was delayed. Cocktail ordered from menu was unavailable. Soup was served without a soup spoon. Wait staff checked in with us, butt was not always visible when needed. Overall an exceptional dinner out.”
“AMAZING ALL THE WAY AROUND! The service industry is tough and these folks knock it out of the park! Alissa was a delight and amazing and the GM Ian… so gracious and genuine! 10 stars!”
“The experience we had was like no other. We will definitely be coming back and it has now officially been named our new favorite restaurant. Thank you to all hands who made our anniversary dinner even more special. 10/10 experience all around!”
“Mind-Blowing Culinary Experience at UNI Dining at UNI is nothing short of extraordinary. Chef Take's talent is truly remarkable, turning every dish into a masterpiece. The sashimi is unbelievably fresh, each slice practically melts in your mouth, showcasing the incredible quality and craftsmanship that UNI is known for. One of the standout dishes was the Foie Gras sushi with pop rocks and strawberry. The combination of flavors and textures was nothing short of genius—a perfect balance of richness, sweetness, and a playful pop that left me in awe. It’s a daring creation that speaks to Chef Take’s innovative spirit. My personal favorite, though, has to be the Toro topped with caviar. The buttery, luxurious texture of the Toro paired with the briny burst of caviar is an experience I won't soon forget. It's the kind of sushi that dreams are made of. The service at UNI is also top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and makes you feel like a VIP from start to finish. They are well-versed in the menu and make excellent recommendations, ensuring that your dining experience is seamless and memorable. UNI is, without a doubt, a dining destination that should be on every food lover’s bucket list. Chef Take’s talent shines through in every dish, making it an unforgettable experience.”

Cheap Eats
“Great Italian food. Felt like I was back in Italy eating Street Food. Amazing Quick, Cheap and delicious!”
“Delicious very freshly roasted coffee! Really friendly and generous owner. I haven't tried anything but the drip, but if a drip coffee is delicious that bodes well for everything else!”
“Such a fantastic brunch spot! Food and staff did not disappoint!! we went back twice. will definitely visit again!”
“Love ❤️
Dietary restrictions: I can't eat fat. They make merainges and other great snacks my husband likes. I don't like yogurt in the merainge. I like them dry. I know it's weird”
“Service was quick and friendly! I highly recommend ordering takeout since the restaurant is small.
The yangyum sauce was great - just like how I’ve had it in South Korea - sticky and sweet.
My husband had a small bone-in order of wings with the spicy soy. He really enjoyed it but could have tolerated more spice.
I’ll definitely come back to order some of their other food to take home!!”
“I’ve been to so many breakfast places in Boston, and this is by far the best I’ve been to. I wouldn’t recommend any place else. The food was cooked excellently, yet fast, the service was great, and even though the restaurant itself is a bit snug, it makes it perfect for a cozy and homey feel. Love love love!”
“OH. MY. GOODNESS. Sunny Girl is now home to my absolute favorite english muffin breakfast sandwich! Both 'The OG' and 'The Sunny Girl' were so delicious that we were already planning on when we could go back again as we left the restaurant. Smaller inside but has a cute window bar and there are some tables out front where you can sit on a nice day - highly recommend!”
“I just devoured the Cubano sandwich...absolutely delicious, and perfectly satisfying. And now I get to kick back with a cup of what is unquestionably the best coffee in town. MAN, do I love this place.....”
“Awesome bar, great vibe. Felt like home because it felt like a bar I frequent in my hometown. Wish I could've stayed longer because the cider was going down very well, but I sadly had to make it to a reservation
Will return here if I'm back in the area”
“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”
“Pretty decent cafe 200m from south station. Not crowded. Comfortable seating. No homeless guys hanging around. WCs locked but accessible and clean. AC on full blast, so bring a sweater. Soup was very nice.
Good place to go if waiting for a train.”
“I loved the spaghetti here, and everybody loved the food too! Thank you, we will come again!”
“all the food was delicious. French onion soup the best I had. service was excellent. staff couldn't do enough for us. would definitely go back”

“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!”
“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!”
“The potato pancakes were crispy on the edges & soft in the middle. Delicious!”
“Fruited Berliner Weisse wasn’t great !! My friends liked the Riverway. Pineapple daiquiri was average.
Spicy chicken dip & Roma Rigatoni were great :)”
“A small restaurant that specializes in handrolls. They have a few appetizers but the menu is mainly handrolls. Staff were friendly and attentive. We ordered chawanmushi and salmon cups for apps and I ordered the salmon hand roll, eel hand roll, and botan ebi ikura hand roll.Salmon cups - crunchy cups filled with bits of buttery soft raw salmonChawanmushi - very smooth. The ikura gel complements the egg very well and gives it an umami taste. However a bit disappointed it’s just egg and it doesn’t come with the small bits of veggies/seafood most chawanmushi does.Salmon hand roll - the simplisticity of the ingredients brings out the taste of the salmon. One of the best hand roll I hadBotan ebi ikura - the chefs went heavy on the lime zest, and I couldn't taste the sweet shrimp. However the shrimp does look super freshNo reservation and no alcohol. Full party must be there before seating”
“I got the Lobster Mac & Cheese and it was delicious, but definitely isn't worth $38. It's a little overpriced, but they have good drinks and a fun atmosphere.”
“My mom came to visit and I took her here for her last night. She absolutely loved it! She said this was the best meal she had all her times visiting Boston. The food, ambiance, and service were all amazing. Anyone who visits me, I will be taking them here.”
“Great food and great service!
We had dinner on the patio and it was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you Tresca and thank you Ray Bourque!”
