“I stopped into Brother’s Restaurant around 2:30 PM looking for breakfast, and I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was very clean and well-kept, which immediately stood out to me. The food was also really good and hit the spot. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely stop by again. 👍🍳”

“I've been going to river street grill for the last 3 weeks they haven't disappoint me yet good food friendly people plus the owner is hot you can't beat that”

“I have to admit, I prefer the deep fried Haitian patty better but this bakery blew me away with the baked patty. The patty was flaky enough to feel the outer layer breaking away as you bite into it but the inner layers were soft and consistent. The filling as well as the dough were both delicious.If you’re trying get an authentic taste of Haitian baked goods I highly recommend La Baguette Prime Bakery.Langue de boeuf used to be a really nice treat for me back home.”

“Muy buenas comidas ❣️ambiente agradable”

“Great place to eat. The staff are great. The prices are better. The food is clean and hot. Their condiments are great. Only problem is the hygiene of the tables. They can clean those a bit faster. Save the tables, this place is really good.”

“Nivia is the best at her job. She is so patient and sweet. I love when she’s working the register, especially on a bad day she will brighten it up with her kindness!”

“I've ordered the cubano and completo sandwiches and both were very good. I also love their fresh Tamarindo juice. Their prices are reasonable. The staff has greeted me nicely both times I've gone. The only con so far is Parking. It is usually hard to find, causing you to double park or go around several times. Besides that I would recommend to check them out.”

“great food clean n friendly staff”

“Simco's is ok.. Most of their food is Good.. But they're kind of pricey to be in a poverty stricken neighborhood. If you purchase 3 things your going to pay like almost $60 -70.
I mean if I was at a sit down restaurant.. but dang! Lol 😂 but service is fast enough.. faster when not too busy. 4 stars for me.”

“Wow! All I can say is wow! Ordered a fried chicken sandwich and it was incredible! Crispy, cool slaw, crunchy chicken. Definitely the kind of fried chicken sandwich dreams are made of! Ordered loaded fries with pork OMG! Fries were extra crispy so they didn’t get soggy when sauce was applied, pork was insanely crispy and savory! The slaw was just the perfect texture and the pickled onion added the perfect bite of acid!”

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

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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.”

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

“An absolutely fantastic dining experience at Giulia. This is the kind of place that reminds you why great Italian restaurants are so special—thoughtful dishes, incredible flavors, and an atmosphere that feels both intimate and memorable.

Every dish we had was outstanding. The seafood pasta special with seabass and calamari was exceptional—perfectly prepared and packed with flavor. The squash appetizer was another highlight and set the tone for a meal where every course felt carefully crafted and unique. From start to finish, the food was creative, balanced, and simply delicious.

The service matched the quality of the food—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling rushed. It’s exactly the kind of experience you hope for when dining at a private Italian restaurant where the focus is clearly on great food and great hospitality.

To cap it all off, the post-meal limoncellos were excellent and the perfect finish to a memorable dinner.

If you enjoy Italian cuisine that’s both authentic and inventive, Giulia is an absolute must-visit.”

“Great location with great staff. Their cocktails are so tasty and each dish was so special. We had their $75 course menu with à la carte shrimp toast and oysters. Would highly highly recommend their duck breast with fig puree and their green apple tart.”

“amazing food. INCREDIBLE service. can not say enough good things about my experience there last night.”

“Food and service are excellent!”

“We went on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. There were so many options to choose from but my husband decided on a pizza from Lala’s Neapolitan-ish Pizza. The size of pizza for the price is good. I got the Cheesy Ramen from Ms. Clucks Deluxe. It was delicious!! My husband saw their chicken sandwich and already decided what he will be getting next time we go and we don't even live in the state (lol). It wasn't crowded at all at the time we went in. There were plenty of open seats (both bar top height and regular height tables). We can't wait to go back.”

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

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

“We took a friend out to dinner at Oleana last night for her birthday and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. We loved being able to share and sample so many dishes, and each one was a masterful balancing of herbs, spices and flavors. The service was also top-notch. We can’t wait to return! It’s no surprise that it’s hard to get a reservation.”

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere was nice, but the waitress with red hair, who wasn't Asian and was wearing a Harley Davidson bomber jacket, was very rude. She had a judgmental and unhelpful attitude while we were choosing our meals. She suddenly brought the check even though we didn't ask for it, as if she wanted us to leave.”

“Had an awesome meal here! We ordered the Polpette Sandwich, Salsiccia Pizza, and the Bianco, and honestly, they were all amazing. The Bianco pizza stole the show—it was perfectly cooked, cheesy, and bursting with flavor. The staff is super friendly, making the whole experience feel warm and inviting. The vibe of the place is casual and fun, perfect for a relaxed dinner with friends or family. Everything felt fresh, tasty, and just done right. I can’t recommend it enough if you love good pizza, friendly service, and a chill spot to hang out. We’ll definitely be back soon to try even more from the menu!”
