He was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering helpful suggestions without being intrusive. The timing of each course was perfect, and he made sure our wine glasses were never empty. His warm and professional demeanor truly enhanced our dining experience, making the meal not only delicious, but also memorable. Excellent service like this is rare and truly appreciated. Thanks, Joe. You made our dining experience (and my wife’s birthday) truly memorable.“

“This is the first review I've ever written (seriously!), and to be honest I'm writing it as I sit here with a friend of mine looking at the website, talking about miscellaneous stuff (like me not having ever written a review), and I was telling her about when my partner and I went to Zuzu's Petals a couple of years ago (my friend will be in Cambridge soon and I was giving her a recommendation).

We love this place! We're not regulars as we only go to Boston occasionally to see my partner's sister and family, but whenever we're in town we try to go at least one night. It's so refreshing to have a space with no phones, at least for a little while, YA KNOW?!? Of course I'm writing this on a screen, so the irony is not lost on me, but a break from screens? I'll take it.

Last time we were there the record player (vinyl, of course!) was playing Bowie, Stones among others - again, refreshing to hear full albums - and I think we had a cheese plate and few glasses of wine and of course dessert. It's always been a nice time for us and we highly recommend! And thus dear reader we reach the conclusion of my post: my friend and I both agree, since I'm sharing this restaurant suggestion with her, why not share it with the world?!?!? (Like I said, it's my first time and this was fun to write...)“

“nathalie was amazing! staff was so nice, attentive, friendly, and helpful. they offered us great recommendation. food was really good too, albeit limited. I love that they will do half bottles of any of the bottles on the menu, and then you can get a glass if someone else opened a bottle already. it really makes for a lot of options which i appreciated. I had a mediocre experience at haley.henly but this experience made me want to give their sister bar another shot. overall, great experience! highly recommend!“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“Great romantic spot for a casual date. Fun staff great wines, good music, killer ambiance“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“Elegant, thoughtful menu and wine pairings. Highly recommend trying the themed menu offerings. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“I had not been in almost a year and I forgot how amazing Giulia is. The Service was outstanding. the food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was perfect. Oysters/Corn Pasta/Foccacia/.......just perfect right down to the panacotta! Thank you very much TEAM GIULIA!“

“Such a cute place and the staff are so knowledgeable. I don’t know much about wine but with a simple conversation about what I like they are always able to help me find something I love that’s also new and exciting.

The food is also delicious. Simple but well balanced and the salads are out of this world. The cod and whatever bean dish they are serving at the time are my other go-tos.“

“The food was beyond amazing! The vibe of the restaurant was magnificent and the service exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly and respectfully attended to throughout our dining experience. This restaurant has now made it to our top 10 local restaurants as this was our 3rd consecutive visit. I definitely recommend Boston Restaurant Bar & Grill.“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

“Pizza- MUST TRY ….. was the best wood fire pizza I’ve ever had (even in Italy 🇮🇹😳) the eggplant capers garlic was delicious 😋 the chicken cutlet was also delicious very moist (tender) 😉 and well there’s “salad” 😂
Definitely won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Vertigo Trio would like to thank Prep Neighborhood Kitchen for an incredible meal at our gig in their restaurant last night. Just absolutely fabulous! These guys are like "Bear" but with less swearing and death threats!“

“Great food and great service! I even got gluten free chicken parm and spaghetti which was excellent! They have a wonderful food and drink menu. Our server Jess was was excellent as well. The manager Nick greeted us when we came in and found us a great table by the window. So the bottom line is, this is a great restaurant and I'm so happy we found this little gem! We will be back!“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“We got a last-minute reservation, celebrating our anniversary. The service and the food were fantastic. We really enjoyed our evening. Because it was our anniversary. They had a little sign on the table that said happy anniversary. They also gave us a complementary dessert. I wish I could remember a service name but she was fantastic. A lot of restaurants we go to the food varies from time to time. This is always consistent in delicious.“

“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.“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“We had the bolognese and the haddock and ordered a side of roasted carrots. All the food was delicious. Service was efficient and friendly. Not too busy, we didn't wait long at all. Cocktail was very different— a bitter sweet rhubarb flavored martini— great!“

“Best Italian pasta I ever tried!!!“

“Food was great and perfectly cooked. Sides were delicious. Service went above and beyond. There was a loud, effusive large table close to ours and unprompted, our service staff sent us home with desserts to make up for it. Again, no complains on our end, but they still sent us home with delicious desserts!“

“The staff and management are always super nice and the food delicious! Guaranteed good time!“

“Small beer selection, wine and a bar. But they were great, super friendly, and the food was good.“

“Had a great meal last night - showed up a little later after a high school b-ball game and had fast service, great servers, and amazing food. I was starving because I missed lunch - had tuna tartare app (best I have had in a while), ceased salad starter, and halibut entree. All courses were A+!“

“Jake and Jeremy did a superlative job taking great care of us as customers with excellent service, organized, efficient, and food quality outstanding. Highly recommend the restaurant and servers Jake and Jeremy. They deserve a raise.“

“I ordered yesterday (June 13) a variety of sandwiches in different sizes from Putterham Grille for a 12-person event, and everyone was genuinely impressed! The quality of the food exceeded our expectations — fresh ingredients, generous portions, and great flavors. It was clear that care went into each sandwich, and the variety kept everyone happy. I highly recommend.“

“Mark and Toni's in the Cushing Square area of Belmont is a great casual lunch and dinner spot. The pizzas are cooked in a coal fired oven that heats the pizza at a very high temperature so they are ready quick. It's a thin Neapolitan style pizza with fresh toppings. I recommend the buffalo chicken pizza, pepperoni or vegetable if you are a vegetarian. Also not to be missed are their coal fired chicken wings, burgers, salads and cheesesteak subs. They also have a beer and wine bar. Order at the takeout counter and then they will come over to the bar to serve you is my best advice as there isn't always a server at the bar. Also, the owner Vahe is a very nice man and welcoming to all guests. It's a local family run business.“

“Excellent and creative options. Enjoyed a cocktail too.“

“I have been coming to the Hearth for many years...the staff is friendly, the atmosphere relaxing and comforting, and the food and beverages are from local sources, well prepared, tasty and satisfying. The owners and management have also shown a dedication to supporting the arts by encouraging local musicians to play at the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“Nice place for a celebration! Great food and customer service!!“

“Fabulous like the sister one in south end“

“My friends and I went to try out their trivia and it was an ok experience for that. It’s definitely more of a sports bar that just happens to do trivia weekly. It felt like trivia wasn’t the focus of the hour even though most groups were playing. The host was solid and questions had good variety but the pace was rather slow. For food we ordered some dishes to share and a couple of personal plates and I can say across the board it was really pushing the line of being a bad value. The taste was solid but the small portions were a real disappointment. For example the tacos were so small you could easily finish each of the 3 your given in 2 bites or even 1 with little problem. The atmosphere was energetic and staff were kinda but at the end of the day it’s not for us.“

“The ragu is out of this world! My father is from Tuscany and if there's one thing I know about it's good Italian cuisine and this ragu is as close to not only my own ragu, but that of my Tuscan Father and nonna. If you know your sugo, come here and have the ragu, it's as good as it gets out of Italy itself ... Francesca“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“
