“Wonderful coffee and even better service! I recommend everyone try it!”

“Large Cheese Pizza.

I've been coming here since I was a child. They don't miss. They're always very nice. Their food hits every time. I'm a very picky person, and I don't settle for anything less than the best. Never have, never will.

“great food clean n friendly staff”

“I was probably one of its first 25 clients, I worked in Mattapan. I can’t remember anything I didn't like. The food was always exceptionally delicious. Fresh bannann pézé, soft grio and tasso. The pikliz could have been hotter.”

“Quality ingredients. A sublime attention to detail. Balance in salty, umami and heat. The broccoli Caesar is a must have along with the homemade ricotta. I sat at Chefs counter and got wonderful attention from everyone. Amazing!”

“Lovely spot with spectacular views of the water. Beautifully designed interior. Delicious, creative food. Great service.”

“Asia Mei is easily one of the best Chefs in Boston. I've eaten here several times, but I can't believe that I haven't written a review before now! My husband and I had brunch at moonshine 152 last weekend and told friends about it. Next thing you know, the four of us were in there around noon time today having brunch again. We shared three starters, alongside sharing all four entrées and everything, I mean everything was to die for! Ms Asia herself delivered some of our plates and she is just as delightful as she is talented. Needless to say, dinner is amazing here as well. The vibe in the restaurant is so easy and you can tell that the staff get along very well together. What I can't believe is how this place wasn't fully packed today or last weekend even. Definitely a good amount of patrons, but I've had brunch at places that are hard to get into and left much less satisfied.”

“the oysters are out of sight! delicious bravo! bouillabaisse was amazing! I did like my server. I do suggest they get some sleep nobody was smiling.”

“Delicious Enmi ramen! First time seeing a citrusy yuzu-based ramen on a menu, and it was yummmy! Our server Justin was also so warm and welcoming, subbing the broth out for a vegan one. And the atmosphere is so cozy and intimate, will be back the next time we're in Boston for sure!”

“Never disappoints. Small plates and a few entrees. Extensive wine offerings. Superb service.”

“Always great food! We always hit this spot when we are in or going through Boston!”

“The food was fresh and fantastic! Service was excellent !”

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

“Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend.”

“Stopped in on a Thursday night with the family, no reservations, and waited about 35 minutes for a table. Totally worth it.

We ordered two pizzas, the burrata salad, and a charcuterie board, and everything hit the mark. The pizzas were perfectly cooked, great crust and flavor, the burrata was fresh and creamy, and the charcuterie board was exactly what you’d hope for—quality meats and cheeses done right.

Food came out quick, service was friendly and efficient, and the overall vibe was casual but lively.

Bottom line: food was mad good, everyone left happy, and I’d absolutely come back.”

“Always a great place, amazing staff and the food never disappoints once you can get a table. That is the only problem, because they are so good, they are always busy.. Make sure to ook your reservation early, at least a week or two inadavnce.”

“The Dungeon Master Roll the Dice”

“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.”

“Oysters were AMAZING!! Crab salad was 10/10!! I get a Butter Lobster roll every time I see it on the menu at every restaurant. Sad to say I rate their warm butter lobster roll a 7/10. Our drinks were 10/10. Everything was so good. Our server was also great. Definitely would recommend and will return soon!”

“The food was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! Perfect for a special occasion.”

“This is the first review I've ever written (seriously!), and to be honest I'm writing it as I sit here with a friend of mine looking at the website, talking about miscellaneous stuff (like me not having ever written a review), and I was telling her about when my partner and I went to Zuzu's Petals a couple of years ago (my friend will be in Cambridge soon and I was giving her a recommendation).

We love this place! We're not regulars as we only go to Boston occasionally to see my partner's sister and family, but whenever we're in town we try to go at least one night. It's so refreshing to have a space with no phones, at least for a little while, YA KNOW?!? Of course I'm writing this on a screen, so the irony is not lost on me, but a break from screens? I'll take it.

Last time we were there the record player (vinyl, of course!) was playing Bowie, Stones among others - again, refreshing to hear full albums - and I think we had a cheese plate and few glasses of wine and of course dessert. It's always been a nice time for us and we highly recommend! And thus dear reader we reach the conclusion of my post: my friend and I both agree, since I'm sharing this restaurant suggestion with her, why not share it with the world?!?!? (Like I said, it's my first time and this was fun to write...)”

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!”

“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”

“Awesome Dumplings!! Great Service!☺️”

“Great tapas / quite filling”

“I love the wine and food but the service provided here has been so special the two times I've gone! My first time the bartenders chatted with us and were hilarious the entire time. The second our server was amazing and educational and patient, as we had limited knowledge of wines. They even ran after me through the street when I left a flower I'd been carrying behind! So sweet. I don't know your name but thank you to the first wine slinger pictured on the website!”

“The most delicious pastries ever. If you love pistachio the way I do you will have trouble choosing and it is ALL great. But I particularly love the savories. The Palestinian bread and the flatbread with the green topping (forget what it's called) is a family favorite. We adore these; the flatbreads are a great quick lunch. But so so delicious, fresh, we are so fortunate to have you here!”

“extremely attentive staff, our meal was brought very promptly. bathroom could accommodate my wheelchair easily. we loved spending a special night there, and are already looking forward to our return visit”

“Very tasty food, great service. No reservations, first come first serve. Prices are not super inexpensive but it is worth the cost. We were only grabbing a snack as we had some commitment afterward. Only pitty is that it is difficult to share bites if you are like me and want to try it all. I guess we will have to come back! 😜
My favorite was the shrimp tempura, but the eel was great too.”

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.”
