“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!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“Delicious food and great ambiance! We will come back!“

“Great place for date night.“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“Came here for the matchbooks which were at the host table and was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food! The corn bread with honey whipped butter was DELECTABLE !!! The truffle Parmesan fries were okay but tbh could do with out the truffle add on. Also ordered the lamb ribs and oysters which were good. The waiter was so kind and friendly and helped me make a custom lemonade cranberry drink. We sat outside and the vibes were incredible. Would recommend !“

“I came here last night for a drink and it was delicious - the flower power sour. And the service was outstanding. I wanted to sit outside and it was empty and a bit scary and the server kinda kept an eye out for me and came out often to check on me.
I ended up coming back tonight because I lost my card and this was the last place I’d used it and it was here! So I got the flower power sour and oysters again and then celebrated some more with the ‘cosmic kiwi milk punch’ and everything was amazing and I’m grateful and happy for great places and good people. Excited to go back home and come back here if I ever come backs to Boston!“

“Moxies Seaport is one of the standout spots in the neighborhood for both dining and nightlife. The food and drinks are consistently excellent, and the wait staff and bartenders are friendly, attentive, and impressively efficient even when the restaurant gets busy. The management team is also very personable and clearly makes an effort to create a welcoming atmosphere.

At night, Moxies turns into one of the Seaport’s premier lounge/bar destinations, with a high-energy atmosphere centered around the lively U-shaped bar on the main floor. The upstairs outdoor patio is another great option, especially when the weather is nice.

Whether you’re stopping in for casual drinks and dinner, meeting friends for a night out, or celebrating a special event, Moxies is an easy recommendation.“

“We had a fantastic dinner at Wink and Nod. Our waiter was very kind and accommodating. The menu was Afro-Caribbean and the food was incredible the Oxtail was insanely good and the special Mac and Cheese was unbelievably flavorful. Will be back soon!“

“Food was great and delicious and the staff were excellent“

“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!“

“Cafe Weekend is a small brunch spot located right outside of Packard's Corner, located next to the busy intersection of Brighton Ave.

We came around brunch hours, and the place was packed but we were able to be seated nearly instantly. Staff was quick and friendly, seating us and taking our orders in a timely manner.

We tried the Nutella French Toast, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, and French Fries. The Fries took a little longer to get out, but the wait was worth it, as it was seasoned nearly perfectly and had great taste even without any dipping sauces. The chocolate chip pancakes were more of a souffle variety, and the chocolate drizzle was warm and the chocolate chips inside the pancakes were nicely melted within the pancake. The french toast was alright, not my personal favorite but overall was still pretty good.

Prices were pretty cheap, only about $30 for 3 people. The food also came out quite quickly. One downside was I didn't see any bathroom while inside, but I could be mistaken. Overall a great brunch spot and great place to try.“

“Awesome app's and excellent wine menu. All beef is grass fed. One of the best restaurants that I've been to.“

“Came here for my birthday and couldn’t have been more impressed! Carlos was our waiter and was incredible! The food was outstanding — highly recommend the sausage and fennel pasta with chili oil as well as the swordfish. Had the best time and already can’t wait to be back!“

“Every time I come in, they are so welcoming, kind, and genuinely friendly. They always greet me with a smile and make me feel valued as a customer. It's rare to come across someone who is consistently positive and creates such a welcoming atmosphere. Great customer service like this is one of the reasons I keep coming back. Thank you, Nayline, for always making my visits enjoyable, and thank you to the entire Dig Inn team for the delicious food!“

“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!“

“Nice casual restaurant near Fenway and MGM concerts. We went for dinner before seeing Squeeze, Adam Ant, and Haircut 100. Our food was good and cocktails were ok. Service was fast and friendly and there were terminals at the table to pay your check.“

“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.“

“The food is delicious and the drinks are soooo good. Especially the Salted Caramel Spiked Iced drink.“

“Awesome experience for a little hole in the wall dive.“

“We arrived late to Boston and needed a place to grab a bite. Their kitchen was still open so we ordered some food and drinks. The food and drinks were delish. The atmosphere was fairly lively. It’s a small footprint so having a few groups of people in there made the atmosphere pretty loud. Not a bad thing, just a notable observation. Overall the Franklin Cafe fit our need with good late night food and drinks.“

“Good food, nice friendly environment. Big bar!“

“Excellent food , atmosphere and our waiter , Garrison went above and beyond to make our experience perfect ! Oysters and clam chowder were delicious!“

“Issam B was a phenomenal waiter. He took care of my family and was a pleasure to talk to. We went for my son's 19th birthday and he did not disappoint us at all. Food was 10/10 and came out very quickly. We will definitely be back to support Fete“
