“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“Hidden gem! Classic bar with insanely good cocktails and food but keeping it real. Beet salad could compete with any high end restaurant. Smash burger and fries - no words. Oh pickle plate is a must - classic sweet to the unexpected root veg and snow pea mix. Great beers new and old. The bartender Mike brings it. He's cool and chill and makes the best subtle recommendations. Great fun to talk with. Great music, great vibe. Already planing a trip back for the reuben. Simple menu done right.“

“We stopped in on the way home from the airport, and it was amazing! From the moment we walked in the door, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere and food were awesome. I highly recommend the Mickey’s Chicken special and the red sangria which was a deep dark red- as sangria should be. Yum! My children loved our Irish waitress who Made them laugh and feel special. This restaurant is over an hour from where we live, but there is no doubt we will travel back often. Wonderful experience!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Love coming here…my favorite sport“

“The Food Is Excellent! Service is Top Shelf! The Whole Restaurant ( Waitresses, bar tenders, cooks etc) is Awesome! Great Place 😉“

“Great service, great atmosphere, great locals. Beer and spirit selection perfect for the area. Prices are ideal. Bring your own food in with some good options nearby, they sell rotating chips for $1.50 which is clutch for late night snack. Every employee I ever encountered showed respect and hospitality to their guests. Really isn't a better place in Brighton. The restaurant group has some of the top bars in Boston.

Parking: Easy street parking. 57 bus access. Ubers never a wait.

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level, plenty of space to move, easy to order a drink, and staff assistance who are more than willing to help if needed.“

“Great service and drinks and food are amazing lots of tvs for when games start back up“

“DELICIOUS FOOD. Very different food fair with choices for all diets. Excellent, friendly service. Good cocktails. I’ll be back !“

“First time at Cityside last night and it was great! The Nachos were so good I wish we had gotten a large, the buffalo wings had a nice crisp to them which made them amazing. For entrees I had the fish tacos which were good but not all that and my fiancé had the cheesesteaks which can’t be compared to cheesesteaks on the North shore but still good. The drinks were good but pretty pricey. My fiancé liked every drunk he got besides the Mai Tai. It was super nice being on the roof top which made the entire night 💕 I definitely would recommend.“

“This is one of those places you don’t want to review because you want to keep it your own little secret. This is by far my favorite Mexican food in North America and I lived in San Francisco for 20+ years. Wonderful family-operated business and the food is perfect.“

“1st time here for lunch . The atmosphere was pleasant. The bourbon bbq hamburger and tater tots were delicious. I would definitely go back .“

“Great food and service!! The staff rocks!“

“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.“

“Once again?.. a terrific meal . Two of us grabbed two seats barside… awesome service… split a seafood plate with my dinner companion. Big shoutout to Dan… who never fails to pop over and say hello. Great food…. Ambience… staff…“

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

“Had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
A special thank you to Myriam, our hostess, who was truly amazing. She was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Her friendly attitude and excellent service made the whole experience even better.
Highly recommend this place, and I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Excellent vibe, great food selection and cold Guinness 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Excellent high end meal in Waltham. The mushroom souffle is a signature dish with great sauce. The Tuscan kale ceasar salad is likely the best kale salad I have ever had. The chicken schnitzel main is a bomb of flavor. Strong, attentive service from the staff.“

“Blue On Highland is hands down my favorite restaurant in New England. Food is always top notch, drinks are top-tier, and service is impeccable. going back again soon!“

“We always enjoy our meals at Buttonwood! Delish food, clever cocktails and fab service 🤩 special shoutout to Emily 👏“

“Visited Dudley Chateau for lunch today with my grandson on his half-day of school. What a nice surprise! Service was prompt and there were many lunch choices. Kids menu, too. I'll be back with a friend in a few weeks. Found Dudley Chateau on Goggle looking for places for lunch in Sudbury/Wayland.“

“Fabulous pizza !! Thank you“

“A hidden gem that opened last year and now our weekly go-to for Japanese - sashimi, sushi, ramen and poke bowls. The staff is very friendly and the owner, Anna, makes you feel so at home. The sashimi/sushi are fresh, delicious and prepared beautifully. The cocktails are creative and well made - mai tais, pistachio martinis, you name it. The kids (and adults) enjoy various fruit teas/slushees with optional boba. They also offer Chinese and Thai food on the menu. Staples like beef teriyaki sticks, sichuan fried rice or tangerine beef are must haves and often added to our meals with lots of leftovers to go home with. Highly recommend Wasabi Asian Bistro&Bar to anyone looking for great Asian food.“

“I’ve gone to One Bistro in Norwood again and again for the last couple of years and not only is it my new favorite restaurant because of the best food I’ve ever had but the service is friendly and relatively quick. Absolutely recommend adding this to your list of places to try!“

“Chimichangas! Absolutely love Acapulcos, and this one has a nice charm to it, as it's a little smaller than others that I've visited. You can always tell a Mexican restaurant's worth by their chimichanga, and they do it well.“

“Good food and drinks; excellent service“

“Always great food and service!“

“The service and the food is amazing. I highly recommend it.“

“On a very busy Saturday night, we enjoyed dinner with another couple. The next day, I discovered that I had lost my money clip with cash. Not sure where I could have lost it, I contacted Victory Lane, as a long shot. Well, I received a call that they had my money clip and I could pick it up at the bar. To my shock, the money was still in the clip! I told the barmaid how unbelievable it was that after two days, it was recovered in tact. She simply said “we have great customers!” A big thank you to Victory Lane, which has always been and will continue to be my favorite!!!!! Murray“

“First time at this restaurant and I was impressed. The food was plentiful and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be dining there again.“

“This was a great pub. Very cozy and welcoming right from the start. Our primary bartender was smiles and hellos from the moment you walk in the door. We had some amazing food and drinks while visiting this wonderful establishment. I know without a doubt that this is on our list of favorites while in Boston.“

“Big shoutout to Oscar’s Pub in Dedham! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A huge thank you to Catherine and Nick for their outstanding service and for going above and beyond to accommodate us.

“Keep an eye open for this spot. Great atmosphere as you enter. Friendly and attentive staff that still gives you room to breathe. Chicken sandwich is great but next time I need to dig in to one of those burgers.“

“Food was amazing, best Puerto Rican cuisine I’ve ever had!! Highly recommended“

“Best food around!!! Great service and price!!!“

“Get the Santiago sour! I lowered my expectations because it was closing time for the restaurant. They were gracious enough to fill my to go order and the bar made me the most excellent cocktails. The Santiago sour is so delicious! Very smooth and creamy. I had the empanada del dia and I can’t wait to come back tomorrow and order it again. The ropa vieja was so flavorful! Perfect sauce and friend plantain. Reminded me why I love Cuban food. Beautiful restaurant and amazing service. They went above and beyond what I would expect. I would have totally understood having to cancel my order.“

“Food and atmosphere was amazing.“

“We love napper tandys in Millis! ED is the best!!“

“Fantastic setting, great food and the best server (Ed) I have ever encountered - he was extremely knowledgeable about the menu offerings and ingredients all the while being friendly and personable. Overall rating 10 for restaurant and 10+ for Ed.“

“I frequent the Tack Room often do to the fun friendly staff and the excellent food! The number of burgers that come out of the kitchen proves how fabulous they are!!!!! The rib dinner is my favorite, I’ve had it three weeks in a row. ITS THAT GOOD! Chef Dan has quite the imagination to excite the customers with a changing menu for the seasons.“

“Home of The Greatest Wings on Earth“

“Nice place. Good food and good atmosphere.“

“Great atmosphere and service, and the food was top notch! We had the cheese pizza, mozzarella sticks and caesar salad, then went back the next day for buffalo nachos. 😆 All were above and beyond. The beer list did not go unnoticed either, as it was loaded with plenty of high quality favorites. Glad we stopped in!“

“We had an enjoyable dinner at this small, nice restaurant.“
