“history of stealing from small businesses that support them. currently aware of over 50 thousand dollars zaz stole.“

“The food was beyond amazing! The vibe of the restaurant was magnificent and the service exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly and respectfully attended to throughout our dining experience. This restaurant has now made it to our top 10 local restaurants as this was our 3rd consecutive visit. I definitely recommend Boston Restaurant Bar & Grill.“

“Very disappointed that they changed their mozzarella sticks to the same mozzarella stick EVERY place in the world sells. One of the reasons why I used to go here was because of their unique mozzarella sticks guess I don’t need to go here anymore“

“Incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, and attentive staff. Every dish was absolutely delicious, highly recommend the scotch egg and the duck if you go in March. Cocktails were great as well. The atmosphere was cozy and upscale without being stuffy. They were also very kind and accommodating around my wife's rare food allergy. Just an amazing meal and experience all around.

Thank you to the entire staff for a wonderful evening. Hopefully we'll be back soon.“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“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.“

“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.“

“This was sincerely our favorite activity while in Boston. Bonnie expertly guided us through the meal, and her attention to detail enhanced the experience. They can accommodate a variety of diets; the vegetarian option was absolutely delicious, and clearly well curated. Entire tea service was charming.“

“This place is fantastic. Took a work group of 7 there for dinner. The food - from the lamb ribs, lamb burger, and appetizers were fabulous. The service was also excellent - prompt, friendly and a great help with recommendations. This is not a fancy 5 star restaurant nor does it try to be. Casual atmosphere with outstanding food and service. Will be back!“

“Fantastic atmosphere, amazing food and superb service. Highly recommend!“

“Super friendly and fast service right by the Garden“

“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“

“Great takeout spot. Fantastic bread and pastries, delicious sandwiches.

Disco egg & cheese: one of the best egg & cheese sandwiches I've ever had. Perfect little focaccia loaf, egg yolk that's soft but not runny, and some good cheddar. Pickled carrots are the cherry on top.

Earl gray scone: you can taste the earl gray throughout, nice thin but brown crust, soft inside. Perfect scone.

Cornbread muffin: Great cornbread with a nice bit of kosher salt on the top. Good top to bottom. My 13 year old ate it in no time.

House-made cardamom soda: Delicious! was gone in no time.

The owner makes everything herself and she's got some serious skills.“

“First time at Cityside last night and it was great! The Nachos were so good I wish we had gotten a large, the buffalo wings had a nice crisp to them which made them amazing. For entrees I had the fish tacos which were good but not all that and my fiancé had the cheesesteaks which can’t be compared to cheesesteaks on the North shore but still good. The drinks were good but pretty pricey. My fiancé liked every drunk he got besides the Mai Tai. It was super nice being on the roof top which made the entire night 💕 I definitely would recommend.“

“Great drinks at a local neighborhood bar. Cute/cozy/quaint with friendly and unobtrusive bartender. . Cash only type of corner bar. Love the decor and vibe there. Will always be back when in the neighborhood. Haven’t eaten there yet, but it’s on the list for sure.“

“really nice spot. ❤️❤️❤️ to Alex. Great server! Wish you all the best. If you're ever in Northern NH...look us up in Milan/Gorham.“

“The food at the Shy Bird in Fenway was absolutely delicious, especially the Chicken Dunks with the homemade sauce dips they were all so good we couldn't choose a favorite and the butternut soup was absolutely incredible, with its little kick of spice and sunflower seeds! Our server was top-notch,very attentive, friendly and made excellent recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The flavors were perfectly balanced and the presentation was beautiful, and the staff was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure a great dining experience. We are looking forward to our visits this summer during the Red Sox games.“

“Great place for date night.“

“Delicious and friendly place“

“Excellent food and brilliant staff. Turned a bad experience of being stranded due to a cancelled flight into a much brighter evening.“

“Nice space, attentive and friendly team and great food. Highly recommend.“

“Fabulous food. Great coffee. What more can you ask for???“

“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.“

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

“Fabulous atmosphere, great food and friendly colleagues.“

“Our dinner was outstanding and I have been to Puritan many times and have loved it each time but this experience was really notable. The main courses and salads were delicious and our service was delightful. Thank you for a great evening out!“

“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.“

“This was my Daughter's birthday weekend and we wanted to Take her to one of the places that Guy Fieri Visited for DDD...making memories. What we got was so much more. Truthfully the Best dining experience we have EVER experienced. The hostess was super friendly and immediately made accommodations due to the fact that I am currently in a wheelchair. The atmosphere was astonishing!!! The food...we truly cannot say enough good things about an are planning when to take the trip from Vermont again to get more. We were blown away . However the highlight of our evening hands down was our Server Kevin!!! He made my Daughter's night ...focused on making her smile and gave her a piece of cheesecake to celebrate. We will remember this forever and simply cannot thank you enough“

“I got the sweet chili plate didn’t think the food would be that good from the photos on the app, let alone nice sauces would be served with it, decided to try for the low price of it when signing up, and I was pleasantly suprised. The food was filling, healthy, and had spices and herbs making it really tasty. Tofu was cooked well too“

“Had to visit as we were in Boston x“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“We always enjoy our meals at Buttonwood! Delish food, clever cocktails and fab service 🤩 special shoutout to Emily 👏“

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

“We came here for Valentine’s Day and I can honestly say the overall experience couldn’t have been any better. Right when you walk in the host handed us a rose. We sat in the lounge and Sara took care of us. Not only did she deliver the perfect experience but she made a bad day turn into one of the best nights I’ve had in a while. It’s one thing to do your job and it’s another to take that extra step that isn’t required and that’s exactly what she did! From the looks of it, the tables around us were enjoying their time with her as much as we were. The restaurant itself is quite beautiful, someone definitely took their time creating the perfect design. We got the steak bites and cashew lettuce wraps, 10/10! I’ve gone in before and got the Mango Chicken which is another plate I can highly recommend. If you haven’t visited Moxies yet make sure you do!“

“My family and I were there for Marisa the food and service were great. We are all thinking about her and can’t wait to see her again. Get well soon“

“This place was great!! Highly recommend! Awesome atmosphere!“

“Friendly service and amazing food! My daughter had the grilled organic chicken sandwich and I had the mixed greens and arugula salad-- both were delicious. Our server was knowledgeable, and several other servers double checked on us and greeted us as they walked by. We will definitely be back.“

“Exceptional experience. The tasting menu at Fallow Kin was outstanding from start to finish. Each plate had its own unique flavor and expression, thoughtfully crafted and beautifully presented. The chefs’ explanations of each dish and the sommelier’s guidance through the wine pairings made the experience even more engaging and memorable. Truly incredible. Highly recommend!“
