“We live near by and friends have been telling us to go here for pizza. We finally stopped in for dinner and we were glad we did. The waitress was so friendly. Her reccomendations were spot on. My husband's martini was perfect. Really enjoyed the patty melt and the pizza was the best we have had in a long time. We will definetly be back!“

“I was just passing through the area. I was actually hanging out at this place a long time ago, like 1988. I wanted to stop by and see if it was as I remembered it. It was! Sorry for rambling. I got a cheeseburger and fries and they were excellent. The service was great and the place was quiet. Of course I was there at 3:00 on a Thursday afternoon so that might have had something to do with it. If I get back through the area I would definitely stop there again.“

“My wife and I just left Logan’s table and I have to tell you it was one of the best dinners we’ve had in a long time. I had the Ahi tuna meal and it was one of the best Ahi’s I’ve ever had my wife had the shrimp and scallop genovese and she loved it We will definitely be back great job by all and the service was also great“

“Best breakfast around !!! Great service and awesome food !“

“It's the perfect setting for a night out with someone special, a friend or otherwise. We sat outside, had a beautiful view of the mountains, seating was quaint, and they had some soft music playing in the background. The food was not every-day fare, it was creative, delicious and perfect. I recommend the striped bass with sweet potato puree, and a sauce made from a plum wine. I paired with the strawberry rubarb wine..... every sip and every bite was perfect!“

“Dined here last evening. Wow! From the moment you walk in you feel the warmth of the atmosphere in this beautiful restaurant. Subtle music, warm welcome and lovely decor. The staff is helpful and friendly. The presentation on the dishes is beautiful. I hope that more people discover this gem in Northborough. As a business professional, this would be my go-to place to bring clients and business associates. The owners are hands on and it shows.“

“Absolutely love this place one of the best places I’ve ever been to the food is great. The service is amazing.“

“Absolutely the best N. Y. Sirloin I have ever tasted. It was thick, tender and favorable, served with a chicken-of-the-woods reduction that was perfectly paired with the steak. Reservations are recommended and the place was full within the first hour of operation. It can be a little noisy, but that's to be expected for an restaurant that is as popular as Romaine's. Service was adequate and attentive for the Saturday night crowd“

“We were traveling through on our way to Maine and stopped for lunch. The food was fantastic!!! The staff were very friendly! The cook gave us extra fish to share with our husband's. One of the owners came over and visited with us! I would highly recommend this establishment to eat at! 4 very satisfied customers! Best meal I have had in a very long time!! A very satisfied customer from Iowa“

Amara was truly one of the BEST servers I’ve ever had-so very kind and attentive and helpful with making everything so perfect and then I believe her name was Camille-came to let us stay longer allowing our wonderful Amara to go home-something I thought was just so very thoughtful & kind-our family has been in the food industry for years and these ladies along with the manager were among the very best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! 100% will be back and I give this my highest recommendation!!!“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“ok, so I'm not sure what happened tonight, but a far different experience from a few weeks ago. Then Iwas impressed with service, food, cocktails. the whole experience was just wonderful last time. after that girls night out, I raved to hubby "we got go there!" I work in Leominster, but live 45 mins away, so we usually dine out more local to home. Tonight started with an espresso martini...well, they've decided to top it with a cold foam type of topping. so the whole top have inch of the glass is foam, not beverage. martinis are expensive, a martini should be brim full, disappointed and felt cheated for the price. I ordered their boneless "jumbo chicken wings". turned out to be 6 little chunks of chicken, not much bigger than mcnuggets, and they were way over cooked to the point they were rock hard. I had to discreetly remove some from my mouth because they were beyond rock-hard. a dining companion in the group had the same experience with hers.the sauces I chose to accompany were tasty, but they didn't do much to help the chicken. the female bartender was great, attentive, and happy. wish I could rave, but not this time sadly.will try again because I don't think this was normal“

“Enjoyed every bite of fish & chips/onion rings. It came out fast and hot. Waitress Lilly was very attentive and we definitely will be back.“

“Today I ordered the Monti Cristo Sandwich !!! OMG !!! It was So Delicious that I ate the whole thing . I just couldn't Stop Eating it . I also got one to take Home . The Food at Lou Roc's is Incredible !! And the Portions of Food are big . And the Prices are Reasonable . My Friend and I usually go once a Week . But we will return again Tomorrow . Thank you For Such Great Food .“

“The food was delicious, flavorful, and fresh. The service was excellent. It's worth the wait. I highly recommend it.“

“The best place I love it and the people that work there to very professional tooo 🙏🙏❤️❤️“

“Had an amazing dinner there recently. Went on a weeknight and seated right away. Our server (forgive me if not correct) I believe was Stephanie. Very knowledgeable, kind, attentive. Knew every detail about the menu. Drinks and appetizers came quickly. Had chowder, which was excellent as well as a caprese. Also excellent. 4 dinners came out and every single one was a perfect size, cooked great and tasted delicious. Cannot recommend highly enough“

“Dropped by on a Saturday around 5 p.m. Was seated promptly and waited on immediately. Service was top notch. Food was good and flavorful and they had a nice selection of drinks-beer, mixed, etc. My only complaint if any was the portions could be bigger…but times are tough. Still worth a stop and will return if in town again.“

“We brought three generations to Special Teas to fulfill my mother’s wish to have tea with her daughters and granddaughter. It was a lovely way to spend a fall afternoon. The service was fantastic and staff were very attentive. The variety in teas allowed everyone in our group the opportunity to experience unique tea flavors. The food and desserts were phenomenally delicious and traditional and paired well with the tea fare. Thank you for giving us a wonderful afternoon and a memory that will last a lifetime.“

“First time checking this place out for a stop while we were shopping and it was a great gem! Great flavorful food, good pricing, and such a great environment. Debbie who waited on us was so personable and fun, and the place was so welcoming! Went with hubby and daughter, we all felt the same way. We will definitely be back! highly recommend.“

“We have been in search of a good pizza place that delivers for a long time and ordered Roasted Peppers on a whim. It’s our new favorite spot and we haven’t been disappointed yet. I’m not sure if people know about this hidden gem so I had to stop by and shout out!“

“Just came across it on our drive and I loved the name. Very friendly pub! Thx for a delicious sandwich! ☘️😊“

“I want to make some suggestions rather than saying I do or don’t recommend this place. I’m familiar with Pepper’s, and I like to support hard-working chefs, especially when they use local farms and vendors. The overall concept of self-service is fine, but I preferred the table service of the old restaurant. It felt a little more closed in, and I also don’t like the paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. Real utensils were available, though. The salad choices looked really healthy and colorful, and the menu was certainly varied enough. I saw a frittata being served and it was the size of a half piece of pie, though it looked good. My friends and I opted for soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, thinking they would be more like upscale comfort food. Two of us had the bacon-tomato version, the other had the mushroom. Since they were pre-made, then popped in a convection oven, they were more like melted cheese on dry, light toast, versus the buttery, golden goodness that makes a grilled cheese what its name implies. The portion was small and the fillings meager. If the idea was to make it a healthier grilled cheese, even a drizzle of olive oil might help. The soup was luke-warm, but tasty enough. We shared a dessert bar, which was delicious, with black coffee, which didn’t taste fresh like it had ben sitting a while. Be forewarned that if you pay by credit card, an automatic 15 percent tip is added, though you have the option to change it up or down, if you happen to notice it. There wasn’t much service involved, and you clear your own table. My portion alone, which included the sandwich with chips, a cup of soup, dessert bar, and coffee, plus added tip came to just under twenty dollars. I would give it another shot, but there is room for improvement. We all agreed that the dining experience was at a grade of about C+. Wishing you success in the future... Hope this helps.“

“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to a place we all know and love… Dean Park Pizza!! 🍕 I had ordered pizza from another shop in town for my son’s birthday party at school today because they had the option for delivery. When they driver hadn’t shown up 45 mins after the expected delivery time and the owner of the first pizza shop telling me “it’s not his problem” and hanging up the phone on me.. I called Dean Park in a panic because at this point I had a class of 20 hangry preschoolers that needed to eat and get to sleep. They not only made my 5 pizzas in 15 mins but gave my son a free bag of chips for his birthday!! The pizza was delicious as always but nothing compares to their customer service!! Thank you Dean Park!!!! 🤍“

“Great Place!!!“

“The steak is their claim to fame but don't ignore the chicken. The Parmesan crusted chicken is my favorite. It's what I get most there. We tend to get takeout here. Orders are ready in a timely manner and brought out to the car. Friendly service.“

“We go every week or 2. It’s a great spot to sit at the bar and have some apps, dinner and delicious drinks. Julia is one of the best bartenders and makes it fun and comes up with new ideas for something new to try. It’s one of our favorite spots to go - keno , drinks and good food and people.“

Service was quick and attentive.“

“Has the best salads and wraps!!!! The Big Fat Greek with Grilled chicken is amazing!!!! Love the delivery girl Christine!!!!“

“Went there for a retirement party tonight. We enjoyed the food, drinks and friendly service.“

“the food was great however our waitress was not. the place wasn't busy at all and there were at least 2 other servers. after we finished eating it took over 20 minutes before we saw her again to ask for boxes and ice cream. when she finally came to us it would be another 20 minutes before we finally got tired of waiting and my husband got our own boxes and asked for the check. add more wait time and we decided to go up to the front where the waitress finally decided it was a good time to make our ice creams. we told her to just make them to go. the entire time we were there it was 2 hours! they did however take 25% off our bill so that was nice. I had 2 kids with me so they were getting very antsy as well. overall not a good experience.“

“Service was amazing. My sirloin steak was perfectly cooked. Overall awesome experience.“
