“🔴Unfortunately🔴, it's very dark 😔and hard to read the menu. There should be more 🔦💡🕯️lighting. It would be even better. They would earn even more 💰💰💰money. The TV is loud 😇on the bar counter. There are some downsides and some upsides. A good varied menu, fast service, and a fantastic 👍waitress who is as excellent as ever with smile on the face“

“My husband and I went to Crossroads last night on the spur of the moment - we were pleasantly surprised with everything!! Great vibe / casual and relaxing with great TV set ups at the bar so we could keep an eye on the Celtics game… great cocktails, food was fresh and delicious with a unique flair that the chef creates to show his wide range of training and influences! I love that he personally came out to chat with us after we finished eating. What a wonderful local business that I am happy to support! Can’t wait to go back and try more of their amazing offerings! (My husband is vegetarian and he found plenty of options to try!)“

“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.“

“Go on Karoke night. The is a woman who sings “green eyes lady” that blew me away.

Reminded me of the Hideout in Chicago and that bar in Starwars.

Great spot, great sign, great talent behind the stick.“

“we were looking for a place to train and socialize our 4 month old puppy and came across this place. our experience has been nothing but exceptional from the employees to the dog owners. Very friendly atmosphere and clean! I highly recommend checking it out.“

“I had my Daughter’s bridal shower at the Long Cross. The staff were so helpful and accommodating. The venue provided linens and flowers for the tables. We had complete use of the back part of the restaurant and patio. They allowed us to set up a balloon arch and backdrop for pictures, and several tables for displays and games. The food was great and the price was reasonable. I would recommend having your party or shower there.“

“Great atmosphere and quick service. Walked in the door and it was packed, was greeted by a fella in a scaly cap who promised me a table in a couple mins and he was not wrong. Food portions were goood size.“

“Voted best Dive Bar. Locals were very friendly! We had a great time.“

“The best Mexican food & margaritas I’ve had in a long time!“

“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.“

“All the bartenders at center bar are very personable, but the crown goes to Brandon. He seams to know all the customers by name and drink of choice. Very impressive, and also handsome ?

Parking: I believe there are three or four floors for parking. Parking is free. Valet is also available!“

“Try the awesome wings or you're missing out“

“Picking up my take out order and can’t wait to try the pastrami! I came in 2 weeks ago and we had the best meatball sub and steak n cheese EVER!! They use great ingredients and make it all themselves!! Exceptional…5 Stars all day long!

“Delicious old fashioned diner cooking! Great breakfasts and lunches! Eggs Benedict with home fries in the pic?❤️ very reasonable prices?“

“Incredible food at the Chef’s Table. Amazing coordination between staff in a small space. Very friendly and accommodating. Probably the best meal I have ever had and I didn’t choose any of the courses!“

“Candles on every table. This is the spot for date night. A definite “don’t miss”!“

“Best entertainment pub. Steve is the friendliest guy and cares about his customers. The food here is great.“

“The staff was AMAZING!!! As someone who worked in the restaurant business for 28 years I was completely amazed at how the staff handled the crowd at the Freezin for a Reason fundraiser on Jan 1st. The place was completely jammed and they were so calm and accommodating. Someone was always there to take a drink order or whatever else you needed. We were there for the fundraiser, but we will absolutely be back to visit again! Thank you all so much for the great experience!!“

“Come early after work and have a great dinner then some live entertainment on the newly renovated stage night owls enjoy playing Hanley’s check it out“

“Great service and food was excellent.“

“Public Tavern is a great spot to grab drinks and watch your favorite game. We usually go for Trivia Thursdays, which are always a fun time, and the $3 appetizer deal is a nice bonus. The mozzarella sticks are surprisingly good and definitely worth ordering.

It can get busy, and with usually only two bartenders managing the crowd, service can feel a little slow at times. That said, the staff handles the rush as best as they can.

Seating can also be a challenge. There often are not enough chairs, and if you arrive late to an event, you will likely be standing since someone else will have already taken the available seats.

The cocktails were somewhat hit or miss. The caipirinha felt a bit watered down and lacked the punch I was expecting, though the espresso martini was solid.

Overall, it is a fun, lively place for trivia nights and game days. With a bit more consistency in the cocktails, it would easily be a five-star experience.“

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

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

“Le Rubís is a nice spot for beers and cocktails, with a relaxed bar vibe and a good place to hang out with friends. The drinks and atmosphere are enjoyable. That said, if you’re in the area and looking for great food, Papa Jack’s Lynn is also an excellent restaurant you should visit. The food quality, flavors, and overall dining experience at Papa Jack’s Lynn really stand out and deserve more attention. I would definitely recommend stopping by Papa Jack’s Lynn if you’re nearby.“

“Always a great experience!“

“Great food and great staff. I'm a bit of a wing snob and these were some of the best wings I've ever had. I was told to try the steak tips and they did not disappoint. My only complaint is I live 14 hours away so I can't come back as soon as I want.“

“Nice people fun atmosphere“

“Very nice place !! Nice music e good food. Thanks“

“(Translated by Google) The best place in the chelsea area. A friendly environment to spend with your friends, partner, or a hunting night. If you visit the city of Chelsea, you cannot miss going through the hottest bar in the Latinos Falcon area. Good music and a 100% Latino atmosphere.(Original)El mejor lugar en el área de chelsea.

“(Translated by Google) Very good I really liked the place... The best are the owners and the dj... and the attention is the best(Original)Muy bueno me gusto muchísimo el local... Lo mejor son los dueños y el dj.. y la atención es la mejor“

“This was incredible. We came here for a late Valentine’s Day dinner around 9 and the place was still pretty busy. We did have a reservation so we were seated downstairs promptly. The only thing we could even think of being a negative is the time it took for the waiter to approach our table initially but it’s a holiday and they were busy so we weren’t pressed. The drinks were great (Mojito and Hotel Nacional) We really weren’t ready for how AMAZING the food was. We had the Jamon Croquettes, Chicharrones de Invierno, Costillas and Taco del dia. Just try it all. They had a passion fruit mousse chocolate tarte special for Valentine’s Day, also amazing. The AGM (I think?) came to chat with us and he was so animated and friendly. We even asked to give our compliments to the chef. We will be back!“

“Groetjes uit Nederland. Direct vrienden gemaakt met het barpersoneel toen ik Mexicaanse muziek aanzette dat al in de playlist stond terwijl ik bezig was met zoeken. Ondanks dat ik er mijn telefoon gesloopt heb, kijk ik toch met plezier terug naar deze tent. 5/5. 2012 was mooi(Translated by Google)Greetings from the Netherlands. Instantly made friends with the bar staff when I turned on Mexican music that was already in the playlist while I was searching.

“(Translated by Google) Excellent service, very good music, they please you with the music that I know you ask for and good customer service(Original)Excelente servicio la música muy buena le complacen con la música que sé les pide y buena atención al cliente“

“This place had the best chicken Parmesan we had ever eaten. I’m so glad we stumbled upon this place that was not too far from our hotel. Our waitress was so kind and attentive.“

“I don't rate the food because I didn't eat, but the music was very repetitive, the same style of music 80% of the time, the service was good, the girl was very respectful since I went with my husband and her attention was always directed to me before him as it should. be when a man is accompanied“

“Amazing oysters 🦪! ♥️ Just want to come back every day!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“Went tonight based on a recommendation from a friend. I had the watermelon martini which was delicious. The artichoke appetizer was perfection. I hade the ribeye which was flavorful just a little overcooked. I tend to like steak very rare either way I would try it again. My boyfriend ordered his filet medium which was a little closer to well but he still enjoyed it. Our server was very attentive and hard working. She frequently checked to make sure we were happy. We will definitely go back.“

“Great Bartender at Encore

I would be delighted to write a glowing review for Carmen, your bartender at Encore Sports Book!

From the moment I walked into the bar, Carine's warm smile and friendly demeanor made me feel welcome and at ease. She was quick to offer recommendations from the drink menu and was happy to answer any questions I had.

Not only is Carine a skilled bartender who can whip up any drink with ease, but she is also a true artist when it comes to crafting the perfect cocktail. Her attention to detail is unparalleled, and every drink she served was perfectly balanced and expertly mixed.

But what truly sets Carinen apart is her genuine interest in her customers. She takes the time to chat with each person who comes through, making everyone feel like a regular. Her upbeat personality and infectious enthusiasm make Encore Sports Book a truly special place to be.

I cannot recommend Carine enough. Her professionalism, skill, and friendliness are a true asset to Encore Sports Book, and I look forward to returning soon to enjoy her excellent drinks and company once again.“

“This place is one of the best places I’ve been to in a hot minute! The bottomless brunch and $4 mimosas had my best friend and I making immediate reservations! The staff and management are so sweet and truly care about the service they provide. This really is the place to go and if you haven’t yet you better get on it babe! Will be here once a month at least! Seriously obsessed! 🤍“

“Bill Ashes is a great local venue where I get to see ALL MY FAVORITE BANDS!! Dance floor...friendly bartenders.....comfy booths....food close by......And my favorite part.... Its right on the beach!!! See ya there!!!!❤“

“First time visiting. We visit a lot of Mexican restaurants in and around the North Shore, and have our favorites. This is for sure a new favorite for us. The customer service at the location in Malden was excellent, our waitress was so polite, personable, and the right amount of attentive. The restaurant was spotless, I mean, SPOTLESS, including the restroom. The rest of the staff checked in, and the food was excellent.“

“500 Ocean is a beautiful property with some amazing amenities. It is in a great location, surrounded by ocean views, restaurants and very accessible to the T, literally right below the building. My husband and I had a great experience living here and had rarely any issues. The main issue we had at move-in was addressed and we were even offered a small gift for the inconvenience. I love the maintenance staff and they are always so pleasant and helpful. One of my favorite parts of living here was having an in-house fitness coach/ personal trainer- Cienna Jade! She is so amazing to work with and has really helped me along my fitness journey. It was so convenient having her come to the 500 Ocean gym, which is one of the best gyms I've seen in an apartment home. She conducts 1 on 1 sessions and will literally work with you on scheduling a time that's convenient for you as well as offering group or couple sessions! Overall, very pleasant experience!“
