The ambiance is cozy and ideal for a date night, and the addition of a bar makes it even more enjoyable. Our server, Jon, was incredibly attentive and added to the overall great experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious food and a memorable dining experience!“

The blueberry pancakes are light and bursting with flavor, and the cinnamon French toast is a sweet, indulgent treat. Everything was delicious, and the portions are generous. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent tapas in a quaint setting“

“We visited this popular spot at the request of our daughter for my birthday - "tapas to share, some fun drinks, it's a cool place." It was every bit of that and more.

The decor seemed simple, but very nice. Very detailed. They used their space exceptionally well. The attentiveness of our server was absolutely spot on - she appeared whenever we had a question or we needed anything!

The tapas were really flavorful and interesting. Parking was easy, on the street. We'll return for sure!“

“A birthday meal that meal me AWAY“

“This place is amazing. Everything. We flew in and were so tired but it was my husbands bday so we had to get brunch… I’ve never had better pancakes, Benedict, avocado/salmon toast, bacon & egg sandwich… 5 stars for service, atmosphere and cuisine! We’ll be back and you should too!“

Perfectly mixed, refreshing, and thoughtfully paired to bring out the best in every dish.

And the desserts… they were simply sublime, the ideal finish to an extraordinary meal. I can’t overstate how impressive the ambiance was, transporting and beautifully curated to complete the experience. Tulum is more than just a meal—it’s a must-visit destination for anyone craving excellence. Five stars just don’t seem enough!“

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.“

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención“

“Gustazo is one of my fav restaurants when it comes to intimate dining with a small group. The menu is tasty and the mixed drink selection is inventive!
Wait staff is friendly and helpful.
The experience would be better if the food serving would be more spaced out and thoughtful. Instead they brought everything at once which made us feel rushed.“

“We are regulars at Estragon and have been coming since we moved to South End about 3 years ago. They are gracious hosts, and always recognize us when we come in! Service is always great. Generous pours of wine, and of course we love the tapas! We’ve literally had everything on the menu and always order the specials to switch it up. We’ve never been disappointed with the food!“

“I have been coming to Parla for almost a year, their cocktails and atmosphere are incredible, but the real reason I keep coming back are the staff. Hunter, Riley, Nick & of course Liam are all so personable, kind & funny, they are a pleasure to see every-time and a comfort knowing my drinks are in good hands. If you haven’t been here yet I cannot recommend it enough, their dice roll game is a fantastic feature that opened me up to new drinks and Parla is a staple in my weekends out now.“

“We are in Cambridge for a few nights and found Dali being a restaurant nearby. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. Luckily we made reservation as the restaurant was packed. The menu was extensive; the service was friendly; the meal was served quickly and delicious and the atmosphere was great. We ordered 4 tapas plus an order of focaccia and a bottle of wine. All come to less than $100 not including tips. A must try in Cambridge, MA.“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“Great food and people Awesome time“

“Love the back bar and service was 10/10“

“I went to Boston and I just had to go to a tapas place since I love tapas places. I absolutely love the ambience of this place, we went on a Monday and it was pretty packed. We ordered bacalao croquettes, grilled octopus, gambas al ajillo, papas bravas. I have to say, my favorite tapas was the bacalao croquettes and the papas bravas - I know they have two kind of papas bravas, one with chorizo and and the regular- we ordered the regular.
I was pretty full and happy, this is a must if you decide to visit Boston!“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“It is always dependable and delicious“

“I celebrated my birthday at Hobgoblin with 15 friends in their basement space. There was live music from some talented Berklee students that night, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience.

I was able to make the initial reservation on Resy, modify it as needed by calling the restaurant, and they even gave me a semi private area so that our big group could mingle while listening to the music.

It’s rare for a place to have great food, amazing drinks, a fabulous vibe/atmosphere, AND live music with incredible service. Hobgoblin was all that and more and my friends couldn’t stop raving about how much they enjoyed it. I can’t wait to go back!!“

“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.“

“Food was awesome! Service was great too!“

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!“

“Exceptional service and superb food and drink! Very cozy and comfy atmosphere!“

“I wish I could recall our bartenders name... he was great! Knowledgeable about his craft of providing well made cocktails. Locations like this are hard to find in a sea of "bars". If you are looking for an upscale cocktail experience stop in, you'll be glad you did!“

“One of many great restaurants on Moody St.
Specialized in Cuban style tapas dishes, great to order small dishes and share.
Yuca fries was good. Fried well, crispy exterior with soft buttery interior. Steak was also very good, well made with delicious refreshing chimichurri. Chicharrones was also very good, as it should be.
Service was great and no issues.

Personally think the food could be better in terms of flavor. Everything seems a bit...mono-toned.“

“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.“

“Surprising, food was delicious. Fish and chips were soft/fresh very good, great actually. The Steak with fries was cooked perfectly, juicy. The cheese burger was the only good, the sauce was “ok” but again cooked perfectly. The waitress was great, perfect timing & smiling which is a small, easy thing to do that so many forget these days. Also the reservation was made for the wrong day & they were very understanding. Go try this restaurant, it’s worth the trip.“

“I’m a tourist , found this bar && had the most relaxed vibe here , I was welcomed at the door , then I asked Corey to surprise me with a drink , told him a few likes && dislikes && he NAILED IT thank!!! Thank yall so much“

“We had a great dinner tonight! Pleasant and responsive service, delicious food, tasty drinks, and lovely atmosphere where we could talk to and hear each other!! A hidden gem-try it!“

“Charming old school beer hall. Sadly, it was damaged in 2018 due to a fire upstairs, and never re-opened. As of early 2019, the building appears to be for sale, so it looks like the closure may end up being permanent. :-(“

“Un lugar muy rico para comer creo que hay meseras que es falta un poco de entrenamiento pero el lugar super agradable y súper“

“Sabina has been open for a year and last weekend I finally got a chance to visit. Went there with a friend and we’d initially thought of just getting drinks but their menu was quite interesting so we tried a few appetizers. My friend had the Cuadrito de lechon which he mentioned was fantastic. I had the Esquite tostada which was presented very well and tasted great. We got a Guacamole to share and it was amazing!

Coming to drinks, my tamarind Margarita was top notch! I can’t remember the names of other drinks we tried but it was delicious!

I know that Newbury St is packed with places to go so it takes a whole lot more to be a standout, Sabina’s is one of those standouts for sure.“

“Delicious casual meal. All about the food. It's fantastic.“

“Formage Wine Bar is a gem! Their baked Brie and escargot are simply delightful, offering rich flavors that perfectly complement their excellent selection of wines. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed evening. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great food and wine!“

“The food here is very good; I've been very impressed especially with the vegan protein. Service was friendly and happy to help with dietary restrictions.

Vegetarian options: Vegan protein is quite good; staff will ask if you're fully vegan and if they should not use butter/etc. Lots of vegetarian sides.

Dietary restrictions: Very accommodating of allergies and were happy to check the ingredients for a relatively niche allergy I had.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Highly recommended our waiter Mina was amazing she explained the menus great and recommended the dishes she loved. We will be back“

“Cozy atmosphere with great food and delish sangria (red especially). Check the cheeses, tartar and especially the patatas bravas and salmon. Amazing.
Also note that there are some cheeses that aren't on the menu that you can still order. Ask around!“
