“Went in this evening with family and friends. The food was absolutely delicious. I enjoyed steak tips with rice and it was impeccable. The service was outstanding, the atmosphere has changed a lot (same great vibes) which I love. Charlie is such a kind and caring human. He’s always been a love! Every experience I’ve ever had there has been great. Keep going guys.“

“The place to eat after a long day“

“Was just here for lunch again delicious as always but as important in a time when a lot of sub shops are inventing shortages and there costs rising to steal from there customers subs going for 17-18$ that we’re always 10-11$ before dishonest sub shops took advantage of the pandemic to steal the Big A still has delicious food at great prices no theft from Nick he’s an honest broker as always I’ve been coming here 47 yrs maybe 🤔 ya 47 and Nick has always been dedicated to good food at honest prices and the community I grew up one street over he’s never changed the product hasn’t changed heck the prices have hardly changed I think when I was 7 we payed 5.25$ fir an Italian sub now 37-38 yrs later it’s 9$ 🤷🏻‍♂️it’s so nice to deal with an honest man and a consistent product thanks again Nick my chicken parm Was amazing as usual and I can still pay my rent lol“

“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.“

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

“Just WOW. 6 of us were lucky enough to grab a reservation here on a Wednesday night and EVERYTHING that we ordered every single person at our table with different taste profiles just LOVED.
Such unique flavor profiles using local ingredients! Gnocchi and rigatoni along with burrata salad were standouts, but we would order everything again on a heartbeat. Chef did some amazing things that are creative yet perfectly approachable.
Great service and wine as well. Definitely on our list to visit next time we are in Boston!“

“First time there the food was great would recommend to anyone who is in Boston.“

“We stumbled upon Half & Half while searching for a place to get breakfast and stopped in with our 2 yo. Very cute interior with a friendly staff and delicious food. My wife absolutely loved her avocado toast with eggs and my breakfast sandwich was perfectly grilled. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes for our son who also chomped on my home fries and fresh fruit from my wife’s plate. The person who waited on us (the owner?) was exceptionally friendly and stopped off to talk through all of the various types of butter on the table (no, seriously, like four different kinds and all equally amazing!). We will definitely be back for lunch — and more butter.“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“We made a reservation as we were a party of 6 and sat on the second floor, which was next to the bar. We loved the character of the building, as it added to the atmosphere. The one critique was that for a cold evening, the air conditioning was on very high and blew cold air on us for the first half of our meal. The drinks were good, however they ran out of the beer two in our party were drinking, so they opted for soda instead of a second round. The loaded tots, although unconventional, were to die for and I would go back just for those! The fish tacos were okay, but would have benefited from the avocado being sliced thinner and or made into more of a guac and the plantains were strange-kind of soggy rather than crisp. They ran out of marinara sauce for the kids pasta we ordered, but the chicken fingers were good. The brisket grilled cheese was amazing and the Cajun pasta was also good. The pot pie was flavorful, but dry. Our server was attentive and got us in and out quickly, in time for the BC game we were scheduled to attend. Overall a good choice for the area and would visit again.“

“What a great meal! Service was awesome! Chicken Parmesan egg rolls….OMG. Steak tips….OMG SANGRIA! It’s all great!“

“Piatti buoni e curati , cucina meditteranea ben interpretata“

“This place was amazing! Their appetizer "snacks" selections are superb and delicious. I truly enjoyed everything I ordered! The service was great. Our server Austin was very attentive and was spot on with the descriptions on the drinks and food!“

“If you want a family atmosphere and to feel at home, eat here. They were incredibly kind and generous to our young family. They loved our kids and made their morning so special. We went home smiling and wishing we never left that atmosphere. Thank you so much!“

“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.“

“Great place for date night.“

“I had not been in almost a year and I forgot how amazing Giulia is. The Service was outstanding. the food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was perfect. Oysters/Corn Pasta/Foccacia/.......just perfect right down to the panacotta! Thank you very much TEAM GIULIA!“

“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.“

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

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

“Good music and drinks lol“

“I work there wery good service from me and colueges“

“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.“

“We just moved to the neighborhood and we are obsessed.

The sandwiches are like no other sandwiches. The focaccia is home made. The ingredients are fresh, seasonal and locally sourced. It’s not just a sandwich, it’s sandwich art!

There are some rules, such as no eating inside, but they enhance the experience: Davis Sq. is a delightful place to eat outside.

We have yet to eat every item on the menu, but nothing has disappointed so far. Excellent coffee and kombucha are also on offer.“

“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.“

“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“

“I love The Berry Tavern. It's has a great vibe. Lots of good menu options. The food and cocktails are delicious. The owners and staff are great as well; my favorite night is Thursday because of the music. 👍🏼“

“Super friendly and fast service right by the Garden“

“Food, drinks and service were all excellent. We will definitely be back again!“

“Fabulous atmosphere, great food and friendly colleagues.“

“My friends and I went to Delux yesterday for dinner prior to seeing a show. We loved the environment, loved the food, and I probably had one of the best salads with house-made vinaigrette that I have ever had in my life. Will definitely be back to try more drinks/food when not on a time crunch. Thank you for your service! :)“

“I come here anytime I come home to visit from Florida. Great service and great sandwiches.“

“I hosted our office event at Double Bull last night, with Musical Bingo in the Avalon room. It was absolutely fantastic! From the service to the food to the drinks! Our server, Jackie, is the sweetest and so accommodating! Rebecca the House/Event manager was a doll! She was so considerate, helpful and detailed oriented in planning the event. She even had our company logo on the menu! The office will be talking about this one for a long time. Thanks ladies from all of us!“

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

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

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

“Had to visit as we were in Boston x“

“I have been a Seaport resident since 2018 and I have never received the level of customer service, attention to detail and overall care that I received from Scott at DIG. My food was promptly provided and the level of taste and satisfaction is unmatched. No other Heathy restaurants in the Seaport area can hold a match to DOG food and service. I am not impressed easily as I have never ever written a Seaport review but I would being doing DIG an injustice by NOT giving credit where credit is due. DIG employee Scott is a great assets to DIG for it is his professionalism that will bring me back with friends! Thank you for a great Wednesday lunch...see you soon.“

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

“Vertigo Trio would like to thank Prep Neighborhood Kitchen for an incredible meal at our gig in their restaurant last night. Just absolutely fabulous! These guys are like "Bear" but with less swearing and death threats!“

“Excellent setting for business lunches - quiet, refined and consistently satisfying.“

“Great experience, amazing service, and even better food“

“Fantastic food, service and atmosphere! A must try for dinner in the Boston area 🙂“

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

“I randomly wanted to treat my family to a nice night out to eat and our waitress AILISH was phenomenal. She was amazingly attentive and really made sure we were well satisfied with our place of seating, checking in making sure we had all our drinks and refreshments. AILISH was so great to us! If any MANAGERS are reading this I def have to tell you she is definitely a top-notch employee in Earls restaurant establishment. If I could send a tip randomly again I would it was that great of service. Great Live Atmosphere, food and location was lively all-around amazing restaurant to go often go to. The waitress AILISH is A+ all around. Thank you“

“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.“
