“Really cool experience, very secretive location and interesting drinks. The staff was very nice, we had a great time. The only thing is the prices are a bit high, every alcoholic drink was $22 which is Ok but I wanted a bit more of a cool feature with my drink for $22. It was really fun, I might go back but the prices were what hurt the most. Would definitely return for that speakeasy experience though.“

“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“

“It was an absolute pleasure dining at Zurito. The staff were warm, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They guided us through a menu full of authentic Basque dishes with genuine enthusiasm and care. The wine list is truly impressive, and every dish we tried was delicious. It’s clear how thoughtfully both the food and wine menus were curated, with a deep respect for tradition and quality. The hospitality of the staff made the entire evening feel special. Highly recommend!“

“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 atmosphere, great food and friendly colleagues.“

“My friends and I went to Delux yesterday for dinner prior to seeing a show. We loved the environment, loved the food, and I probably had one of the best salads with house-made vinaigrette that I have ever had in my life. Will definitely be back to try more drinks/food when not on a time crunch. Thank you for your service! :)“

“Love it! Parisian natural wine bar vibes with fun cocktails and mezcal. Lots of mezcal. The dishes we had (stuffed olives and mortadella) were so incredibly well thought out and really had the “surprise and delight” factor. Go and enjoy for yourself!“

“Inside the beautiful new Fellini bar at the Intercontinental this speakeasy is a dark oasis. Each drink tells a story. Who doesn’t love history and drinking! The drink menu is in a leather bound book full of interesting stories about the revolution and the drinks that fueled it. Bartender was excellent and definitely passionate about his spirits.“

“Great Ports Bar in Boston Mass.“

“Great experience this past weekend. It was a busy Saturday night. We ate at the bar which it seems like lots of locals do that. Plenty of space at the bar to eat. Bartender was great. Drinks were epic. Food was so good! Will definitely come back. Thank you to the hostess for fitting us in. She was a doll.“

“This place had the best chicken Parmesan we had ever eaten. I’m so glad we stumbled upon this place that was not too far from our hotel. Our waitress was so kind and attentive.“

“A true hidden gem for cocktail enthusiasts! If you’re passionate about mixology, this place is a must-visit. Saul is an absolute master of his craft—his passion for creative, thoughtfully crafted drinks shines through in every interaction. He not only serves exceptional cocktails but also takes the time to share the stories and inspirations behind them, making the entire experience unforgettable.“

“The place to go for bruins and Celtics pre game“

“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!“

“The mimosas are amazing!!“

“We came here for Thanksgiving. It was absolutely perfect! The ambience and relaxed atmosphere was amazing. My husband and I had the Thanksgiving meal and our kids had the pizza (yea I know :/). The kids ate all of their pizza and loved it. My husband and I loved everything about the Thanksgiving meal. The wine suggestions were top notch. Our server was very sweet and visited our table the perfect amount of times. Thank you for an amazing Thanksgiving experience!“

“So, just walking in off the street, it’s a great neighborhood bar with a fantastic selection of beers, a bartender who is friendly, funny and pours a great pint of Guinness. But… Thursday nights are Queeraoke, and it’s as fantastic as it sounds. Great DJ, fantastic crowd and amazing singers. It’s a great time for everyone!“

“Food and service were both amazing! Get the biscuits and jam, they are great and worth it. We will be back!“

“Holy moly! Rainy first night in Boston staying up the way at the Commonwealth we visited the Kenmore. Nathan took great care of us. Solid pour at the bar. Can I say enough about the K Burger? Likely not other than the first bite blows your mind. Quality over everything else. Great spot, will be back tonight and tomorrow night looking for Sturgill Simpson fans.“

“We were there for brunch and the food and cocktails were great!! The staff was very friendly, can’t wait to go back again on my next visit❤️“

“This was a last stop on our self created pub/tavern/bar crawl. It was a flipping vibe! Reminded me of a place we would go in Paris. The bar stools were so comfortable which is why we stayed for two rounds! The drinks were amazing. My husband got a great beer and I hit a few of the signature cocktails. (Something Bloom, and a mint, sage, lemon one - amazing). We tried one appetizer - Golden Pork Belly with Guacamole- crispy, creamy, spicy. Perfection in flavor and presentation! It was the highlight on the pub crawl. The inside is beautiful and the staff was so kind, helpful and welcoming! We will probably go back tonight!!! Best was for sure last!!!“

“Good music and drinks lol“

“Some of the best Korean food I’ve ever had!! A must visit after a show at Brighton Music Hall“

“Great view and good. Weber lserver was very attentive. Music way too loud and scene is young for us old farts! I was surprised when they closed our bill out after 2 hours because the reservation I made only had a minimum dollar amount (which we spent 2x above) and NOT A TIME LIMIT. THIS SHOULD BE CLEARLY MARKED AND NOTED when making the reservation like the minimum dollar amount is.“

“Always our “go to” place when in Boston. Never fails.“

“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.“

“MIMI IS AMAZINGGGG. We’ve been here MULTIPLE times and her service has consistently been incredible. She’s very attentive, kind, welcoming, and overall a joy to be around. LOVE HER!“

“A bar dedicated to my favorite poet? It was a no-brainer that I was gonna love this place. Might add, one of the best Guinness pours I’ve ever had. Perfect!“

“Beautiful hotel bar with attentive staff.“

“Had a blast. Servers are the best. Singing doorman is so entertaining. Great vibe.“
