“I absolutely love this place. It's hard to write down everything I love, lol. I started going here as a customer, and now I get to work here! The atmosphere is so inviting, the employees and the aroma of delicious baked goods greet you as soon as you walk in. There is everything you want in an Italian bakery, from Italian pastries to the most delicious sandwiches. Everything is homemade and made with love. 10 out of 10, I recommend this place to EVERYONE!Dietary restrictions: There are options for vegetarians, people who are gluten free and even a couple of vegan options!”
“Outstanding. The food was cooked perfectly. The staff were all attentive, friendly and professional. Prices are good.Don’t let the front facade deter you from going in. You’ll be glad you did.”
“We were in the area this week to visit family and ate at the Village Pancake House for three meals. Each one was perfect, the servers are friendly and efficient, and we left very happy!I got the same breakfast each day: scrambled eggs, bacon and blueberry pancakes. Each time I did not want the meal to end. The pancakes really are the best I have had in decades!”
“Some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had! You must try the Almond Joy flavor! I have no idea why there’s a one star review on this place! The people serving were so kind!”
“Finally a real dinner that doesn't charge a arm and leg! Love going here for the atmosphere and the food is pretty good but what really sets this place above everyone else is the pie always home made tons of different types to choose from!”
“One of my favorite local places. They can be very busy Friday and Saturday evenings. There is a limited menu until 5:00 PM. Some of my favorites: angel hair pasta with shrimp, flatbread pizzas and huge, tasty salads.”
“We ordered a couple Gyros when we were visiting the area over the weekend. The meat was great but they added a lot of lettuce the gyro. They even had homemade butter cookies, WOW THEY WERE DELICIOUS ?? Also the homemade baklava was wicked good, definitely order that when you try this place.”
“I work at a local business down the street from the Rowley house and we buy lunch weekly here. The food is always delicious, hot, and with the most generous serving size. The service for such a busy establishment is always top notch! During the week of Christmas we had them cater our Christmas party everyone was happy and impressed!”
“as a long time guest at Bradford Tavern, i have truly never had a bad experience. most recently, my server, Marissa, was absolutely wonderful. she was friendly, knowledgeable of the menu and so attentive to our every need. food and drinks were incredible as always, we will be back!”
“Hadn't been here since pandemic, and they had completely re modeled, atmosphere was more cozy, bar added in and appealed too young and old. I sat on on new dining side. The food was delicious as always and all the servers were very friendly.”
“This is the greatest restaurant ever. Best staff. Very nice. Great music playing throughout the restaurant and great decor, which gives great immersion. The food is great they give you chips and salsa to start with a wide variety of foods and drinks for all types of people. Overall one of the best restaurants.”
“Had a great time here with some friends! We each ordered a flight of the wines and ciders, and I went home with a bottle of my favorite red. The snacks are yummy, and the staff is very kind! It was a warmer day in February so outside seating was open. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Will definitely be coming back!”
“Royal Orchid is one of the best Thai restaurants around! The food is always fresh with outstanding flavors. Plus, the presentation is always beautiful. Awesome for lunch and dinner! The service is always friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is always clean with a cozy vibe and has an upscale feel with white table cloths and glass table tops. Can’t wait to go back, soon.”
“One of my go-to’s in the area! We love the family who owns and runs it. The food has always been fresh and prepared with care. It comes out absolutely delicious! Personal family favorites are: the calzones, pizza and subs! Love to support this wonderful, local business.”
“Very busy at this stop but the young lady at the counter was fast , super efficient and very friendly and got exactly what I needed...places need more employees like her! I'm just sorry that I didn't catch her name so that I could give props to her by name...”
“okay i don't want sound too negative but the large fry they gave us was awfully very skimpy. (i don't agree with the grammar but i'm transcribing) however they did come in clutch serving us two minutes prior to closing, however i was not impressed with the fries. the milkshakes they switched the milkshakes when i said the wrong flavor which was nice but still i was not impressed with the french fries. also the sign in window with a face with the word "smile" as his mouth in times new roman was really off putting.”
“Spent Saturday for lunch and some great ? tasting beer here. Great staff knew there stuff. Talking to Mike and found out that they are now producing a dunkle german beer ? which we tried. We will be back for dunkle .Thanks Mike.”
“We LOVE Loretta Restaurant. It is our favorite go to for a girl's luncheon, a romantic dinner, or a dinner out with friends. The food is superb, we have never had anything but delicious mouth watering lunches and dinners. The meals are made to order and you can ask for special care for allergies. We have never been rushed so the table can turn over! The wait staff is personable and a pleasure. I highly recommend a visit and a meal, if you do you will come back! And the owner is always there to make sure things run smoothly and all leave happy!”
“Had a great experience, sitting at the bar with the excellent service and delicious food. Salads were fresh and crispy and inventive. Seafood was cooked perfectly.”
“Great owners, friendly staff, huge portions, Michelle makes a mean cocktail, and the food is always amazing and consistent. We eat here a lot and have never had a meal that was less than outstanding!”
“I live 40 mins away and came to try the clam strips and scallops some of the best I've had in the north-shore. They give a good amount to. Pricey but worth it.”
“I was on a flight once, and after the plane landed the flight attendants walked around with iPads asking passengers if they'd like to tip the flight crew. I'm only kidding, but in today's day and age where tipping culture has run amok, I wouldn't be surprised if this became the norm. Spirit, don't get any ideas, now! I have no problem with tipping, and do so generously. Yet, in a world where the trees will soon be subtly nudging towards a tablet with every breath I take, it was refreshing to hear about a no-tipping restaurant that pays its staff fair wages. Always nice to support a family business, too. Thus, when I was more-or-less in the area and due for a family date night, I decided to finally give The Cormorant a try. I had the opportunity to try the Naan-chos and the Duck vs. Cow burger. With the Naan-chos, I appreciate the creativity, but the execution did not work for me. I feel that the parts did not work together to form a cohesive dish. This comes down to two factors: First, the large size of the ingredients, specifically the naan chips and veggies. There is only so much I can fit in my mouth without looking like a barbarian! Second, the lack of cheese as a binding agent meant there was little to help stick components together. Where it comes to the parts on their own, the naan chips were a good base for the dish, and were cooked nicely to give just the right amount of crispness while not making them as hard as a tortilla chip. The hummus, beef, and veggies were good, but nothing to write home about. Though, I'd like to mention: the "spiced" beef felt as if the only spice was salt, and maybe pepper. The harissa, meanwhile was incredible! It had great flavor, and a pleasant level of heat. Meanwhile, the garlic maple tahini sauce did not work in this dish. It was heavy, in-your-face sweetness that did not meld with any other ingredient. The Duck vs. Cow burger was a different story. I loved the combination of the duck confit and burger patty. The duck especially was cooked to perfection and brought tremendous flavor. The aioli and the sweetness offered lovely savory and gently sweet notes that complimented the protein nicely. The only thing missing for my taste is some kind of acid, even if it is only a pickle on the side. The onion rings though didn't quite do it for me - they felt a little heavy on the breading, and were the kind that the little onion strings escapes leaving a substantial bread shell behind. Inside, the space is small yet warm and inviting, and has counter seating and a couple tables. The service is polite and appropriately fast. The prices were reasonable, especially considering there wasn't the de facto service charge which is an expected tip. Thus, while The Cormorant was a positive experience I don't see myself schlepping from Quincy.”
“Dog Friendly inside, very unique and interesting beers. The staff is super friendly and helpful letting you try any of their beers. The atmosphere is casual and open for groups.”
“We visited Thai Zap in Salisbury this afternoon. What a treat! The food was AMAZING from the Crab Rangoon (the best we've never had), Steamed Dumplings, and Tom Yum soup, to the Jumbo Shrimp Pad Thai, Red Curry Chicken, Steamed Noodles, and Garlic Salmon. Even the Thai Tea was exceptional.”
“The best! Everything is delicious and fresh and the service is always top notch. I have been eating here for many years now and never disappointed. How many places can you say that about?”
“New Pale Ale might be the best I’ve ever had. Always come here for my preference for lagers and pilsners, but Silvaticus isn’t content to do the same thing forever. Great atmosphere (music is a little loud) and great beer. The addition of a real chef offering food is awesome!”
“... One of our go-to restaurants when hitting the theater... Food is always fresh & delicious. Our waitress was excellent. She was attentive to all her tables ... it was very busy but she never made you feel like she didn't have time. It is a bit loud when the entire place is full but we were sat closer to the kitchen & it was a the perfect table. I was surprised the sounds were not overwhelming. We did have to wait for about 40 minutes for a table ... but it was Saturday @ dinner time. We chose to wait instead of sitting at the bar. We took our favorite pizza home with us .. fig & prosciutto... they did change the recipe but it was still amazing! Stop by if you're looking for great dishes or an outstanding pizza!”
“We had Kali in as our server and she was phenomenal! The food and vibes were awesome. We will be back! Props to bartenders for making money cocktailsVegetarian options: Could have a bit more options but over all good”
“A quaint little breakfast joint right across from the beach on Plum Island. Filled with regulars and visitors, it might be hard to get a seat.Your patience will be rewarded as they are some of the nicest folks I’ve met in a long time, with great coffee, service, and food. They really make you feel at home.We look forward to our next visit there.Dietary restrictions: I was happy to see they had a few gluten free options and were ready to answer any questions that I had.”
“We held a Baby Shower at the Grove. It was just absolutely perfect. The food was amazing. The ambiance was just beautiful. Dayna and the team were accommodating and helpful.It rally was just lovely! Thank you”
