Joanne was our server and was so helpful in recommending appetizers and desserts to share. She couldn’t do enough to ensure this experience was a memorable one. We highly recommend Fusillis and Joanne!!“

“We went to Eddie V's for my wife's birthday celebration. It was our first visit to this restaurant and we very pleased with the meal, the service and the atmosphere. Our server, Darrell Townsend was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and helpful with our choices and offered special birthday complimentary extras. We got a champagne toast and dessert. The meal was a bit expensive but we knew that this was a high end restaurant and you get what you pay for. A great birthday experience!“

“Excelente servicio q nos dió Lily !! Los mariscos riquísimo y la paella también ! lo recomendamos al 💯. love it !! Definitely we will go back.“

“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!“

“Innovative and delicious.“

“EXCELLENT service and fresh food!“

“I was in town this past week for a business conference. Another attendee asked the bartender at our hotel where the best seafood was; and she recommended Belle Isle, stating, "Best Lobster Rolls in the city." So we hopped in an Uber and made our way to Belle Isle. Upon arrival we saw that the restaurant was situated right on the water, with an accessible doc, which hosted, what appeared to be, a functional fishing boat and lobster traps.

The hostess encouraged us to sit where ever we would like. After a quick huddle we sat down at the bar and were immediately greeted by Melissa; who was cheerful, and poured a perfectly cold draft beer. She recommended the Lobster Pie as it was her favorite, but our stomachs were set on the Lobster Rolls as per our hotel bartenders glowing review.

We were not disappointed! The lobster roll was almost too much to handle. The bread that hosted the succulent chunks of claw and tail meat was buttered and toasted to perfection; but hardly the texas bookshelf you'd expect it to be upon seeing how much lobster was piled on top.

We met two locals, Henry and Paula, who also recommended the Lobster Pie, as well as the Clam Chowder. And both of us having never had New England Clam Chowder out of anything other than a soup can, jumped at the opportunity to taste the real thing. Another delicious dish! Best Clam Chowder I've ever had, hands down.

I came back for a second visit, risking missing my flight home to try the Lobster Pie. It was worth every little bit of stress I gained watching my Uber take 5 minutes longer to pick me up than the app predicted. (I made my flight)

If you're looking for a family friendly, yet fun and welcoming environment with seafood that will blow your mind. This is the place to go!“

Her sidekick John who delivered the food was always smiling and friendly.. You have to go here to see Denise . She will make your day ..“

“i’ve eaten here at least 50 times while living in medford.“

“When I popped into Mike's for a quick roast beef, I wasn't expecting anything special. I eat a lot of roast beefs and have high standards. I have to say, Mike's impressed me. The beef was massive, perfectly cooked, and the sauce was somehow better than it normally is. I highly recommend everyone who likes roast beef give Mike's a shot.“

“not only are they super nice, the Lobster rolls are absolutely delicious. just the right amount of butter, and the scallions really do level it up. DEFINITELY will patronize again“

“The best food which I have not had in a long time. Ordered mild sauce but ended up with medium. Spicy but yummy“

“If this is the Fishermans Fleet that had a spot in Everett, and I’m pretty sure it is. I worked there back in the 80’s, and this is the next best thing to fresh off the boat, these guys know all the local fishermen and we supplied and sold more seafood than anywhere because it’s always fresh. Miss these guys, good people! Paul and Larry“

“Girlfriend and I stopped in on a driveby whim. We were on a road trip from Wisconsin in the toyota crown. The pizza was delicious and her vegi calzone was extremely good. Thanks so much for the interest in our car and for the great atmosphere. Very welcoming and make sure u check their Instagram out. 10 out of 10 thank you

Vegetarian options: My girlfriend loved the calzone...“

The food was superb!!! The room was clean and big! I am so glad that I booked this hotel again for my return from our cruise. Would definitely stay here anytime I come back to Boston!!!“

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.“

“We love this place! Always fresh, absolutely delicious. The people working here are amazing - efficient, knowledgeable, super friendly on the phone and in person. What more could you ask for?“

“I was in the mood for sweet sauce… I ordered a small with extra cheese and extra mushrooms. Matt greeted me, cashier was so sweet, told them this was my first time at this location- I always went to Lawrence and Salisbury. I got home and was sad - their version of sweet sauce is not my cup of tea and that’s okay. The mushrooms were huge and fresh, cheese all bubbly… crust literally as good/may be better than Alexander’s- Lexington… I called, he was understanding and apologized, I said, no need to - I mentioned - Beverly - he literally finished the sentence with me #WickedPizzaUsesGrapeJelly lol .. anyways - there is a credit - looking FWD to trying out something else. I read many reviews, and it’s a toss up between cheese steak extra mushrooms or the 3-way roast beef medium.
Thanks again Matt! Too often when the customers call - there is a total attitude - like God forbid this person call me back.
Thanks again“

“I appreciated that they let me in a quarter hour before closing on a Wednesday night. They close at 9 pm and flying in from the west coast it’s always a challenge getting dinner before things close. The service was fast, friendly and efficient and the quality of the meat was great.“

“AMAZING Marissa THE BEST SERVER“

“I went season 52 tonight for thanksgiving dinner , for the first time , the restaurant is amazing great atmosphere , The food was unbelievable, the best thanksgiving dinner ever , excellent service by Jodi M , she’s was very nice, polite and friendly I highly recommend this place ! I will be back for sure .“

“Great experience! The all you can eat buffet price makes it 100% worth it. Not many hot pot places offer that. Fresh food, great service!“

“Authentic northern Chinese cuisine! 😄“

“Sitting in the parking lot enjoying my lunch. First time here, I came for the roast beef, and the other reviews are not off-base, very good! French fries were delicious also, actually crispy and tasted like potatoes. Friendly staff, quick service, reasonable pricing, what more could you ask for?“

“10/10 would recommend. We ordered the Penang curry, chicken teriyaki rice bowl, beef satay, steamed gyoza and samosa. The peanut sauce with the beef was 🔥🔥. All incredible.“

“The sushi was delicious, but the price is not for the faint of heart! A nice treat, and the best quality fish I've had outside of Japan. Chef Mike worked diligently to deliver a great experience. I also liked the lack of pretentiousness in his shop. I imagine that if someone were to ask for a fork, he'd hardly bat an eye. The focus here is really on the food, and he checks that box.“

“Haven't been to a Legal Seafood since I lived in RI and that was over 10 years ago. My wife wanted to try it and I was ify on going but I would give it a try since I knew they were ok back then, they weren't the greatest thing around.
We got sat right away, we went for a early dinner since my daughter is very young. Our sever was great and food was very good. I got the scallops and street corn, it was very good and my wife got the stuffed lobster she really enjoyed it as well.“

“Great food! Amazing lunch specials! Too much food I had to take home leftovers“

“Todo muy bueno y la atención de primera“

“Excellent dining experience for atmosphere, taste and waitstaff. Clean, beautiful table settings and layout. Food quality was superb. Menu was just right in terms of limited offerings but covered the bases. Oysters served exceptionally well - on the halfshell with 4 accoutrements on a bed of ice with small fork and spoon; lemon in mesh bag. That's the way you do it. Upscale dining for sure and not breaking the bank for comparable places -but not better- like Capitol Grill or Eddie V's . Cocktails looked to be super but I'm a straight up martini guy; there, glass could have been colder. Otherwise, this is the place. Final positive note -not a kid in sight or earshot.“

“Wow. Wow. What a discovery! I ordered delivery and expected something “okay”. I am left speechless. This was arguably the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Quality, quantity, taste - phenomenal...I had the Mediterranean mix which was a great sample of all different tastes. The rice (usually just fill in deliveries) was excellent with that slight bit of saffron coating it. Thank you!“

“Our party of 14 had the wonderful opportunity for the private room Sunday June 5th. The 50th anniversary party was treated royally by Ron and Sharon. Their service and knowledge of the entrees was spot on. The kitchen staff didn't disappoint! Everything about our visit just needed to be acknowledged! Thank you.“

“Great place, great staff and amazing food. Their pizza is as good as it gets.. But it’s tough to decide with so many great offerings.“

“Great Food. Great Service. Good Job.“

“This place is both so comfortable and so classy at the same time! Service is wonderful, the staff members are so very friendly, and the food is delicious! Ava and Kathy made the evening so enjoyable! This is definitely a place for us to visit again!“

“Amazing delicious meal. Quiet March Sunday but the staff was on point and attentive. We ordered the special beef Pho and stir fry noodles. Excellent meal. Our egg rolls to start were delicious and piping hot . 10 out of 10.“

“Went here with a group and everyone was happy! We got the baked brie to share and I really loved it. I don't actually remember what my main course was since I keep thinking about the brie! Our server was so nice and helpful and fast, and we got our food pretty fast too.“

“I went to Grassfields Food & Spirits for the first time yesterday for lunch. I had my 6 year old daughter and 1 year old son with me. By gods grace my kids have always been easy to take to dinner without stress, however yesterday my son wasn’t particularly feeling the best because he is cutting a new tooth so he was screaming his head off (on and off) and my daughter accidentally leaned too hard on one side of the table which flipped up the opposite end and my entire, full, iced tea fell and spilled all over the floor. I must give a shout out to the staff there for being so kind and handling the situation with empathy and respect. If I could have anticipated that the kids wouldn’t do well at the restaurant I would have opted for lunch to go (which is what I ended up doing anyway after all that). The waitresses did not give me an attitude or dirty looks or get upset, instead they offered to clean up the mess for me and get me a new iced tea. It may seem like a small gesture but it didn’t go unnoticed because not everyone is as kind, understanding and patient. It’s proven in the death stare I did get from another diner lol. I also must mention that when we finally got home and ate the food was fantastic! The kids teriyaki chicken and rice pilaf was the best! My scallops Florentine was delicious too! I will be back for sure… maybe without the kids next time lol.“
