“Had been eyeing this place for a while, went in with low expectations/skepticism given my history with bad bar food experiences at other restaurants.
This place exceeded my expectations, thanks to the excellent customer service provided by Paige our server. She was warm, welcoming and personable, made some great recommendations. On top of that the food was way above the average bar food.“

“always excellent meals and sides“

“I recently stayed here for a work conference. The hotel rooms were spacious, cozy and modern. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby bar and restaurant was beautiful and the food was very good. Meeting spaces were very nice.“

“Wonderful food and wonderful service. Thank you, Joseph F. I ordered the crispy honey chicken sandwich and my wife ordered the glazed miso salmon. Very generous portions and the food was prepared perfectly with beautiful presentation and excellent taste. Highly recommended A+“

“worst lobster roll i have ever been served so bad i wont describe it. and only 38 bucks !!“

“Lots of big screens but low resolution which detracts from the enjoyment. Bathrooms urinals also have screens so we don’t miss any of the action. Fairly expensive, 4 beers and 1 salad and 1 appetizer =$100 including tip. Kale salad was great.“

“The best meal- great service- Beautiful atmosphere And warm friendly hostess“

“Incredible food at the Chef’s Table. Amazing coordination between staff in a small space. Very friendly and accommodating. Probably the best meal I have ever had and I didn’t choose any of the courses!“

“not a single dish disappointed!! the gnocchi was definitely the highlight of the day - it was so tender and blended really well with the veggies. we liked the sweetness in the crispy pork ribs, and the asparagus was great too. would also recommend the cocktail with the gochujang element in it — the spicy aftertaste was super special! everything was amazing, would definitely come back again :)“

“Very warm and cozy near the fireplace. Food was wonderful and service exceptional. We had a very friendly and attentive server.“

“Delicious and safe dining experience- the food was unbelievably fresh and creative. All servers went out of their way to be attentive and friendly- the mulled wine was the perfect beverage on this chilly afternoon! We brought blankets- and used them!“

“What a gem. I’ve been to Junebug three times now and each experience has been awesome. The pizza is incredible, the cocktails are fantastic, and the service has been excellent every time. My husband and I took my mother here for her birthday in May and she is still talking about how much she loved Junebug and wants to come back.“

“One of my all time favorite spots in Somerville never had a bad meal. Great vibe and service always suggests it as one of the top spots in Somerville.“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“My wife and I came here to get a quick bite and some drinks and watch some World Cup. The servers were incredible and the food was delicious. We ordered the Salmon salad and the salmon was fresh and juicy. We also had the pretzel with their spicy mustard which was awesome. I had an IPA followed by the 75 bees which is a perfect drink in this hot weather. Not too alcoholic and sweet. My wife had the Hibiscus lemonade and she swears that’s one of the best lemonade’s she’s had in a long time. Super awesome place to visit“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Great food and drink!“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“Whenever I’ve been there, I have found the place to be cozy, the staff friendly and knowledgeable and the food has been delicious. At least what I’ve ordered.“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“Excellent Steak Frites, Faroe Island Salmon, Wild Boar Bolognese, an Ultimate Burger, and Truffle Fries. Check out their Valentine's Day Menu.“

“Outstanding food and service. We had the focaccia, grilled broccoli, strawberry & burrata, patatas bravas, basil pasta, and pork belly. Everything was delicious. One member of our party was vegan, and our server very kindly marked up a menu of everything that could be made vegan. The olive oil & citrus cake for dessert was also delicious.“

“This restaurant is dope. The interior is warm and inviting. It’s modern and chic. Definitely an elevated hipster vibe. A chill spot to hang out after work or nice date night. The food is bomb! For apps, I’ve never had a Chinese-inspired arancini. These crispy delights are addicting with their crack sauce. The sauce is a must have on the arancini. The salad is light and refreshing. The Kokoda is a well made dish. I never had blue fin tuna until I came here. The combo with the fresh fish with the acidity from the lemon juice and smooth finish of coconut sauce - oof, worth a try. There’s also another surprise about the Kokoda - there’s something called sea grapes 🍇 and were bursting of flavor and freshness. A nice addition to the dish. I could go for seconds with the Kokoda because it’s a bit small for me. I wish they made it 2x bigger so it could be more shareable with a date or with company. The Maine Uni was surprisingly delicious 😋. I honestly thought it was too expensive but after having it, it was an amazing amuse bouche (the perfect bite). I couldn’t believe that small bite packed so much flavor and complexity. It was balanced and left me feeling happy. Totally worth it. For mains, the pork belly adobo melts in your mouth. So good! The mushroom raviolis are my favorite out of this menu. The salted duck egg sauce is what makes this dish memorable. I would definitely eat this again. The bitter melon ratatouille is not my favorite because it wasn’t seasoned enough for me. It felt as though it was missing salt. The veggies were perfectly roasted though, but it didn’t quite smack like the other dishes. The ribeye is good, but not my favorite. I might be biased because I’ve had better at other places. For desserts, the pandan sorbet is tasty. I’m not a fan of the pandan taste. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but I enjoyed it because I love avocados and bananas and in ice cream form? No brainer. I wished they had a version without the pandan flavoring. I’m curious as to how it would taste then. The matcha cheesecake is surprisingly well-balanced. Not too matcha where it’s overbearing. The matcha is subtle while the richness of the cheesecake smacks just right and not overly sugary. The late night menu - I only tried the Chicharrón taco 🌮. The combo of crispy pork belly and the acidity from the lime is perf. Nothing else to say. Surprisingly really filling. I probably can’t have more than 2 of these tacos and I’m a pretty big guy. The drinks - I love the names and how they have a play on words. The blood orange and the banana espresso are my favorite. These drinks have enough booze and not too much where it’s offensive. Blood orange is enjoyable to drink and the banana espresso is complex with a chocolate finish. Their nice, clean cocktails. Service was awesome! The servers were friendly and quick. They regularly checked in with my wife and me. I don’t think I even had to do the awkward “please help us” lean at all. They were there when you needed them! Amazing 5 star service! You want a culinary experience. This place won’t disappoint.“

“Super friendly and fast service right by the Garden“

“We recently had an event at Mothership and it was great! Kelly and her team helped get everything organized and answered my million questions in the weeks leading up to it. On the day of our event, the guests kept complimenting the food and telling us it was the best party ever. The staff setup decorations, made a candy bar, made custom menu items and cocktails for us, coordinated with our outside vendors, and kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommend!“

“This place has the best coffee in town. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Lunch menu is just as good. Cookies, scones and muffins are all delicious. The owners Peter and Siri bend over backwards to please their customers. The register and serving crew Lisa and Isabel are great.“

“It’s da bomb. If you are ever in the area, don’t miss it ✌🏼♥️😎“

“nice state park.lots of wild life to see.“

“My bartender this night was Zack. He was intuitive and an informative bartender who brings atmosphere to those around him. The decor is colorful and inviting. Modern lighting, not to bright, but not too dark. Almost a space like atmosphere. Clean, tidy and top notch. The menu is inviting with many choices. Appetizers, meals and even desert...try the Ruben it is mouth watering! Also if Damian is working the kitchen that night your going to end up with the most flavorful meal. He is a master of his skills. I highly recommend the food, drinks and atmosphere.“

“We had a delicious and wonderful anniversary dinner at Puritan & Co. Bryan did a great job accommodating my husband’s dietary restrictions and explaining the dishes and wine pairings. Always happy to come here, for special occasions and with friends.“

“Great food, great service, and great drinks! Best brunch I’ve ever had and it is located in a great location!“

“We dined at the bar at Branch Line last night and although it was insanely busy, everything was fantastic. Shoutout to Merrick and Manuela for taking great care of us (and to the other bartender, as well, very fun to watch him handle the service rush!)“

“Go on Karoke night. The is a woman who sings “green eyes lady” that blew me away.

Reminded me of the Hideout in Chicago and that bar in Starwars.

Great spot, great sign, great talent behind the stick.“

“If your are looking for a place with high quality this is a excellent spot. Very much recommend this spot. 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Everything was great! Service and food was excellent!“

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

“Hidden gem! Classic bar with insanely good cocktails and food but keeping it real. Beet salad could compete with any high end restaurant. Smash burger and fries - no words. Oh pickle plate is a must - classic sweet to the unexpected root veg and snow pea mix. Great beers new and old. The bartender Mike brings it. He's cool and chill and makes the best subtle recommendations. Great fun to talk with. Great music, great vibe. Already planing a trip back for the reuben. Simple menu done right.“

“In town for our 20th wedding anniversary and decided to give Earls a try. So glad we did. The food and the atmosphere were great. However, what truly made the evening extraordinary was the service. Our waitress, Jennifer, was spectacular. She took the time to walk us through the menu, made excellent recommendations, and just showed an interest in making sure our dinner was perfect. And for an extra, she provided us with a wonderful dessert on the house.

Also want to make a special mention to one of the managers, Mimi. Mimi greeted us as we sat down and brought us complimentary champagne to celebrate our anniversary. She was so professional and just an overall kind soul. It is evident that she loves her job and goes out of her way to ensure all of Earls customers receive excellent service.

Like I said, the food was fantastic, but the service here at Earls is second to none. Thank you both for a wonderful and memorable evening. Will definitely return and will recommend to our friends.“

“everything wonderful service food atmosphere“

“Greens’ Grill is, by far,my favorite restaurant. Paul has assembled a fantastic crew with Chef Suey leading the way. No matter what you order you will never be disappointed. I highly recommend the Grill for dinner or your next function. Paul Sands“

“In Boston for training and ordered takeout because I had some work to do back at the hotel. Service was great, especially from the bartender who processed my payment. Wagyu burger was good but too much for me to eat in one sitting. The bacon jam was a nice touch and a little sweet but not overpowering. Fries were crispy with a nice amount of salt and cheese. It was a very generous serving of fries. I would go back again to try out something smaller on the menu. Inside was nice, modern, casual vibe. About a 10 minute walk from the hotel I stayed at. Food was still quite warm when I ate it in my hotel room even though the weather outside was -8.“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“Megan was a great server.“

“The food and service was excellent. Great atmosphere 👌 👏“

“AMAZING atmosphere!!! AMAZING service!!!! AMAZING food!!! Seriously run to grab a bite here and ask for Sara as your waitress!! The burratta was Michelin star worthy. The best bite of food that I have ever had.“

“The energy of this space is as loving and chic as Somerville itself; looking forward to becoming a regular!“

“everything was wonderful!“

“First time there, was on a whim due to a Google search for burgers. Snappy Patty’s did not disappoint!! The cheeseburgers, tots, and beignets were on point!! Delicious, well cooked, and well seasoned!!! I’m from the south and this is the FIRST place I have ever recommended for burgers. The decor is phenomenal!! The colors and pics on the wall.. you have to see it!! Everything from Sesame Street, Star Wars, to classic rockers are present on the walls!! The music is the perfect level!! You can talk and have as conversation, but still have background music. Something I have found is not always the case. The staff is unbelievable. I felt like I was a regular that had been going for years! The communication with ordering to hid the staff works senselessly together is an added bonus to this experience. Yes, experience.. when all your senses are activated.. a restaurant/bar isn’t just a place for food and drinks. It’s a place that comes to life. Check it out when you can and tell me if you don’t feel the same!! I already know I’ll be back. Enjoy!!“
