“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly“

“food and service are awesome. friendly environment. great atmosphere!“

“The food at Oye Restaurant Bar & Grill was good for the most part, but could gave been more flavorful. We did enjoy the GF calamari and the sushi boat. The service was friendly and welcoming.
The only downside was the ambience. The lighting was much too dim for our liking, making the space feel a bit too gloomy, and the restaurant was quite empty when we visited, which affected the overall atmosphere. With brighter lighting and a livelier vibe, the dining experience would be even better.

We did appreciate that they have a separate gluten-free menu!“

“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!)“

“I LOVE THAT PLACE, THE WORKERS, THE OWNERS ARE AMAZING PEOPLE. Also food 10/10“

“We had so much! Our instructor was John! He was super chill and informative! We will definitely be back ❤️🪓“

“Depends what you are looking for. If it is traditional Cuban food, go elsewhere. If you are interested in latin american food wirh a Cuban flair, you will like this place. I am a native born cuban and I will approach these type of restauranrs wirh a Cuban Nouveu cuisine mentally so I am not immediately disapointed and can approach it more open minded. So think of hispanic food with a Cuban flair. If so, I was impressed with their small plates and entrees. Tasty and well thought out dishes. Nice cocktails with Cuban flair but some standards are available. See photos for their original Hemingway Daiquiri which was quite good. Service was friendly but could have been better but place was packed on a Friday night. Deserts were interesting. The Tres Leches was differnt and recommended. Prices were not cheap but reasonable and much cheaper than Mariel
Nice neighborhood too. Street parking.“

“Highly, highly recommend. The food was beautifully prepared and delicious. The staff was helpful, warm, and flexible. We had a great time and will be back.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Had the best chicken parm I've ever had. The guy next to me tried to steal a bite.“

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

“Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“Good food, good service, a nice place to have a bite. Wasn't too busy even on a sat afternoon of a holiday weekend. The server was kind and helpful, drinks were great and we didnt have to wait long for the food. Quotes on the wall were weird, hence why no 5 stars. Parking lot has decent space, but not unlimited. Also could have better signage.“

“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!“

“My go-to spot was too busy for takeout tonight, so I tried this place. I must say their steak tips were amazing and I now found a new go-to place! Delicious!“

“Great food and drinks friendly staff and accommodating“

“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.“

“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.“

“Came in from the Midwest on a Wednesday morning and needed to grab lunch. Somehow we decided this was the place to go and we did NOT regret it!

We don't have fresh seafood at home so we ordered food that we wouldn't normally be able to enjoy. Yeah, yeah, lobster is a little spendy, but it was awesome! The lobster BLT was legit!! Dungeness crab appetizer? Also awesome. And why not indulge in a Boston beer while we are at it.

The kicker was the staff. Nate was friendly and answered all of our dumb, Midwest questions. Chatted for a bit and made suggestions. Apparently the owner is his dad. Super nice guy as well. Both of them were welcoming and super friendly. Thank you guys both for kicking off our trip on a very positive note!“

“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.“

“(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. Un ambiente amigable para pasar con tus amigos, pareja, o una noche de casería. Si visitas la ciudad de chelsea no puede faltar pasar por el bar mas prendido del área Latinos Falcon.

“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.“
