Brendan was our server... excellent! Food is comfort food ...good. Crowded and noisy on a Saturday night.
Outstanding Saturday lunch w friends. Service was impeccable, fantastic lunch, no rush, relaxing dining experience
I think that will be the last time we go for a while. Not sure if the server was due, but he was never around, never came back to check on us, never asked if we needed anything else. Food was just OK so I'm all set with them.
A busy day here and the service was a little slow due to that. Food was good and wait staff was friendly and polite.

I go almost every weekend with an elderly parent. Waitress remembers us and our drink order. Food is always tasty and service great.

Friendly service and the meals are so tasty and generously sized.
My husband and I come here quite often for dinner and love that they have such a huge, varied menu. I think I have tasted nearly all the salads and they are all so delicious. Full of flavor and generous portions.
The complimentary bread and garlic oil is also amazing. 👍
The peanut butter thing for dessert is very indulgent. So good, but huge! Definitely one to share.

Very disappointing we have never been there before had to wait almost a half hour after reservation sat on bar side when requested dining room Food just ok Waitress was great though
It was a busy Sunday afternoon and the football game was on, the service was slightly delayed. Our server per my son was doing the best he could but the kitchen was behind. The bread came after about 30 mins of being sat, and cold. Our food came out about 30 mins after as well, all well cooked and prepared. The hot honey chicken sandwich was slightly dry so I ordered more sauce and it was just perfect. The well done burger, was exactly served as ordered and the kids pepperoni was fresh. We finished with sundaes for the kids, great amount of vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and caramel drizzled on top. Overall it was a good lunch and will be back.
Great food and great service. Started with bread and oil. My party then ordered the cape cod Reuben, chicken and waffles and goat cheese salad.

Very dependable You can always count on a good meal. There were 5 of us and the only issue were the sweet potato fries were soft and not hot.
Sat at the bar. The bartenders were attentive but not so friendly. Salad was good but the chicken picata was not great.
The service was excellent! The food was good, but not exactly as I expected it. My French omelette was not as soft and fluffy as I'd hoped, and the online menu showed it would come with fresh fruit, but it came with potatoes instead which I don't care for.
Got seated next to the bar which wasn't busy but wow all those TVs can kill a date night mood.
My friend and I wanted to go to a restaurant where the food was at least very good and where it was quiet enough to be able to have a conversation without shouting or having to repeat everything we said. NYAJ's in Westwood, MA met and exceeded all our requirements even though they have several screens on covering sports. Our server brought us delicious, warm bread and an olive oil, minced fresh garlic, and crushed red chili flakes dip to hold us over before we ordered. Yum! We shared the ahi tuna starter. It was beautifully plated, fresh, and delicious, and definitely enough for two. We then shared an order of the Thai chicken salad. The kitchen divided the order for us, which was appreciated. The salad didn't have a wow presentation, but dividing it probably didn't help. More importantly, it was very good. We shared a creme brulee for dessert. Nice crackly top, rich custard. 👍🏻 Our server was wonderful. She offered us variations on our order in a 'no problem, we do this all the time manner.' She checked on us periodically, but not so much it was annoying. The only issue we had was that my decaf coffee was lukewarm when it arrived. It took two more tries, and a fresh pot, to get it right (it really was barely warm), but they never stopped making it happen. They aim to please and succeed. I will definitely go back to this location. One additional note. There was a very mixed age group at the restaurant which was nice to see
