“Was very excited to see a new Poke place pop up so I stopped in to try it out. You guys - best poke bowl place in the area!! I have been on the hunt for a great place and finally found it. Super fresh fish, awesome toppings, and yummy sauces. Service was friendly and fast. Must try! I had the Johnny Utah with the spicy salmon.“
“I can't say enough good things about Select. The staff was warm and welcoming and our server John especially was attentive, skilled, and friendly. There were 11 people in our party and everyone had a wonderful time. Food was fabulous. Thank you!“
“The hostess and wait staff were wonderful, friendly and efficient. Katherine was our head server and did a phenomenal job with such a large group Food and drinks were amazing, as expected. We hosted our son's graduation dinner and they even had a few unexpected personal touches which made it that much more special. Well done!“
“Atlantic Fish Company is a must-visit seafood destination in Boston. From the moment you enter, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy atmosphere that sets the tone for a memorable dining experience.My 4 person group started with cocktail shrimp and bacon-wrapped scallops as appetizers, which were both impeccably fresh and flavorful. For my main course, I opted for one of their evening specials: lobster carbonara. The pasta was perfectly cooked and the lobster was succulent, all enveloped in a rich and creamy sauce.But what really elevated our meal was the exceptional service we received throughout the evening. Our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and made us feel right at home.If you're looking for a top-notch seafood restaurant in Boston, Atlantic Fish Company should be at the top of your list ???“
“The seafood options are absolutely divine! Love everything about this place- from the portions, the ambiance and the service. Prices are a bit on the higher end, but there is value for what you're paying for. I can appreciate that. Highly recommended!“
“A notable destination for Mediterranean seafood fares in the heart of Back Bay.Recently took a visit for dinner. Set against a backdrop of a modern lounge vibe, complete with high ceilings, Porto seemed like an ideal spot for date nights. As advertised, their menu featured a blend of Italian pasta and Mediterranean seafood dishes.We started off our meal with the Crispy Calamari. It was a decent appetizer that aligned with the typical offerings of a modern Italian restaurant. Its seasoning was a tad overbearing, but it still set a nice tone for the meal.From their pasta selections, we opted for theWild Mushroom Mafalde and the Wild Boar Cocoa Pappardelle. The Pappardelle boasted a tender boar ragu with umami from Manchego, but it unfortunately suffered from a lack of cohesion. The pasta itself was slightly undercooked and lacked depth in flavor, failing to fully harmonize with the ragu. On the other hand, the Mafalde was enjoyable. The combination of garlic butter and Aleppo pepper introduced a welcomed acidity, and the interplay of textures between the al dente Mafalde and the succulent mushrooms was particularly satisfying.The highlight of the evening was the Seared Bronzino. Unlike many other Branzino dishes I've tried in Boston, which often fell flat in flavor, Porto’s rendition was masterfully-seasoned. Each bite struck a perfect balance between salinity and the sweet nuances of the squash purée.While Porto may not be the best Mediterranean spot in Back Bay, its seafood offerings, particularly the Seared Bronzino, make it worth a return visit. The pricing, given the quality and ambiance, also doesn’t feel too excessive. Recommend giving them a try if you’re looking for an upscale romantic venue with great food and atmosphere.Parking: Prudential public parking garage“
“Top notch service, my waiter Mac and his team were amazing, he was attentive and had a great personality. Thanks Mac!!!I had ordered lobster bisque, 1/2 dozen oysters, lobster taco, crab cakes which were all good beside the steak tartare. It was sallly :/ we had also ordered 18oz prime bone in New York strip with smoked chili rub and that was a big huge mistake. I give this steakhouse 6/10“
“We got the salmon cups, which was very hearty and yummy! We also got the Botan Ebi Ikura and the Miso Butter Cod and another handroll which I forgot but all were so fresh and delicious in their own ways. We did have to wait 20 minutes to be seated since it is a small space, but it was totally worth it!“
“We had an outstanding experience. Food and service were amazing. For example I always thought shrimp cocktail was shrimp cocktail but somehow these shrimp were fresher and tastier. The oysters were ridiculously good and my lobster roll was perfect. This will be my go to place for seafood in back bay.“
“Legit moved every bit of my meal! From the brown butter lobster roll to the delicious crudo. My only beef is the 5% admin fee already added! When I asked about it they said: “it’s to distributed to our non-tipped staff in the form of increased wages.” Why I am responsible for paying your employees a better wage?! Shouldn’t that be left to the owners/management?!“
“✅ Amazing Ambience✅ fast✅ Food is spiced just right, not too salty, not too spicy etc✅ Plates, presentation, and others were beautiful✅ hard to find authentic dishesI will be back again and again!!!! Whoever the chefs are need a raise!!!! And the staff!!! They're amazing!!“
“The 2 bone in filets were over cooked in one part of one filet and in the other filet it was under cooked in one part so we ended up trading the well done for the not so well done as how we ordered the steak .. they offered a new steak but at the price of the bone in we don't like to waste food - they comp a drink but that's all ? I think they should have comp the steak but otherwise it was good“
“Made a reservation for 5. Wine selection is great. Enjoyed 3 apps, highly recommend the crab & lobster cakes, calamari was perfectly cooked but I would have like a dipping sauce. Entrees were very good, steaks were perfectly cooked and the AKC was reasonably priced and a great portion for a high end restaurant. Desserts were nicely chilled and very good. Lastly the service was A+. Paced out perfectly, knowledgeable and friendly. Manager even made his way but to check in. Overall a 9 out of 10. Better than the seaport location in my opinion.“
“I love this place. My friends introduced it to me when I first moved to the area and my husband, son, and I have been going ever since. They do dollar oysters every day until 5:30pm, which is hard to find these days. It's the best deal in town! We also love the poutine and there's usually a few great local/seasonal beers on draft. Great atmosphere and the guys who work here are friendly, efficient, and helpful. Highly recommend!“
“This place is the best authentic Italian restaurant in the area, hands down. You won't find chicken parm on the menu, which is perfect in my opinion. The service is awesome because it's a family business and they all genuinely care. The ambiance reminds me of a typical place you would find in one of the little hill towns in Italy. The chef and owner will accommodate any requests within reason! Love this place!“
“Great dining experience, and food flavorful and the right portion , the tuna tar tar was my fave of the night was absolutely fresh and delicious I have been to the seasons 52 in Burlington so my expectations were kind of high and the chestnuthill location did not disappoint it was a bday dinner and the birthday girl enjoyed it was well ..“
“Cozy atmosphere, decent prices, free miso soup no matter what you order.Server kept forgetting items in our order but we would ask and he would say they're on their way.. I assure you, the tea coming after the sushi boat was made and eaten was definitely a forgotten tea.They have gluten free soy sauce and as a vegetarian I was able to eat a cucumber avocado roll.Vegetarian options: Not labeled on menu but you could ask.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free soy sauce.“
“I have never posted a review before. My wife and I are visiting Boston during the winter and we ate dinner at Summer Shack last night. We ate at Atlanta Fish Co a few days ago and that was good too. We went to Pescador tonight and it was so very bad we paid the check, left the food and went back to the Summer Shack because it was so incredibly good. Recommend to all who love great shellfish and lobster. The best.“
“Who else hasn’t eaten bean sprouts and egg fried rice? It’s like a state banquet. I’ll be really sad if someone doesn’t pack a portion to take away when someone comes. It’s so delicious. It’s worth walking ten minutes in the cold wind to buy egg fried rice. (Egg fried rice can be bought separately without having to eat hot pot. Those who are too lazy to turn on the fire are in luck)“
“I went on a business trip last week and tried Tao Xiaoyan's Sichuan cuisine. It was really delicious. It's the ceiling of Sichuan cuisine. The pickled fish is sour and spicy, the dry pot sausage is crispy and goes well with rice. Endless aftertaste! I will come again next time I go on a business trip. I highly recommend it to everyone!“
“Had great reviews so we tried it and it lives up to the hype. The food was great and we really liked the atmosphere. I tried the Shepards Pie (pictured) just so I could say I ate that in an Irish Pub and it was delicious. If we lived in Boston this would be a frequent place for us to eat.“
“Absolutely wonderful!From the young lady helping us navigate the menu to pick out what we wanted,to the wonderful cook Carlos who got our order out quickly and cooked to perfection! These Texas girls(caterers to boot!) We're very impressed! Thank you for making our experience so wonderful!“
“Stopped by for a rainy weekend late lunch. We were seated right away. I ordered the bun bo hue and it was very good. Soup was savory, not too salty. I ordered the steamed mixed veggies on the side, probably wouldn't do it again for the 3.95 price point - very small portion and the veggies were barely steamed. Good experience overall, will come back just for the bun bo hue!“
“The finest steakhouse in Boston , still. Not overpriced like so many others. The quality, presentation and service are the gold standard. Lunch today was superb. French Onion soup was better than Escoffier served! Tips perfectly trimmed and seasoned WOW!“
“Cute little hidden gem. We absolutely love this place! The food, atmosphere, people, service - everything was amazing!Of course, the food deserves a separate discussion and praise! Taste, freshness, aroma, consistency - just wonderful! The beautiful drinks are also noteworthy as they taste just as good as they look. This is always a go to spot whenever we’re on Newbury.“
“A solid step above your typical pub grub, this cozy spot is great for date night or gathering with friends. Nice vibe, creative menu, decent service.We enjoyed the pistachio chicken and blackened pasta entrees. Their desserts are also terrific. Service was good, despite our waitress pulling double duty behind the bar. On street parking was plentiful.“
“I wish this place was closer to me. The service was excellent, I dealt with 3 different women between walking in, ordering, and picking up. All of them were polite and friendly and helpful. I'm not sure if anyone speaks English because I speak just enough Spanish to conduct the transaction... but they were definitely polite enough to tolerate my limited language skills. I picked up food for my friend who is Venezuelan, and she loved it. It looked and smelled amazing, and I will definitely go back. The place is more of a take out place, only a few tables and chairs in the small front area. The prices are okay. I wish it was a little cheaper, like the Colombian place near me where you can get a lot of food for little money. Here, I'd say you will expect to pay between $15-20 per person unless you're getting just something small. But it's no more expensive than your average pizza place. And the quality of the food is very very good. Everything is cooked to order so I waited about 30minutes. I got: 3 arepas carne 1 Cochapa 1 sm platanos meduras 6 Tequenos 1 sm white rice 3 empenadas carne 2 Spanish chocolate bars And that was about $64 before tip. Not terrible.“
“Such good authentic italian deli/dinner food! You can't go wrong with any of the pasta and seafood entrées. I have been here many times and its on the same level as anywhere in the north end but for a reasonable price! I recommend to anyone in the area. It's small inside, so might be hard to get a seat on a busy weekend. Try the lobster ravioli or pesto alfredo!!“
“Came in half hour before closing and they were nice enough to still seat us. Inside is very modern, clean and spacious. There is a bar code at the corner of the table, you scan for the menu, order and pay right on your phone when you're done. The owner was very friendly and kind. We ordered the beef noodles soup, Taiwanese fried chicken (flavorful and not too greasy like some others), braised pork over rice (very large order and the braised pork was very tender and good amount of sauce), and the lamb skewers. Everything was delicious and decent sharing portions so you can order a bunch of things to try. There are a lot of items we still want to try so we will be back soon.“
“BEST chicken Marsala I have ever had in my 60 yrs of life!!!The wide noodles and the sauce were to die for. Stopped on the way home from a Dr appt in Norwood with my mom. Ate it yesterday and had the leftovers that were even better today!!! Can't wait to go back“
“We stopped in on a Saturday late afternoon and there was plenty of seating available. The space was bigger than expected with booth seats and table seating. We were seated at a booth and it was quite comfortable. We ordered the Beef hot soup and the Sichuan Flavor Hot Soup. No substitutions allowed but we chose to omit a couple ingredients. The medium spicy is quite spicy so I would recommend going milder and using the chili dipping sauce on the side. Both broths were flavorful enough that you don't necessarily need the soy garlic sauce provided. I immediately turned off the flame under the hot pot because I didn't want the beef to overcook. I do wish there was an option to turn it back on without having to call someone over to light it again. Lunch meals come with a choice of iced green tea or black tea and choice of white rice or vermicelli. Tea was already sweetened, might've been a tad sweet for my liking though. Wait staff was efficient and friendly. There is a call bell on the table that alerts staff that you need something, otherwise they are not really checking up on you. Overall a solid satisfying lunch!“
“Wonderful food and atmosphere. Waited 20 minutes to order but food was worth the wait. The turkey dinner was delicious and my father in law liked his stuffed haddock. It was a little weird when we asked for takeout boxes, our server kept insisting on packing up our food for us instead of us packing it up ourselves. After we politely explained that it’s nothing personal it’s just our preference she brought us our boxes. We will definitely be back.“
“Blue Salt restaurant in Newton Mass offers a gourmet meal with specials on the menu created from only the freshest ingredients.Our waitress Liz took very good care of us and I highly recommend you come to this restaurant to enjoy the delicious food. Located at 1255 Washington Street there is plenty of on Street parking.“
“Still delicious bar food and great service. The chowder here is better than legal's, just my honest opinion. The delmonico steak was delicious with fries and a salad and my son absolutely loved his nachos. Still a good food & bar place in the community with an old school Boston feel“
“An all around great experience. The space is quiet. The service is swift and food taste awesome. I tried their Pastrami on dark rye with fries. My boyfriend had their deluxe burger and fries along with their Tuesday special of the day split pea soup. Worth a try if you're in the area for brunch ? ?Parking: Meter parking on beacon Street“
“Went out to dinner here with my sister and brother in-law who live in the next town over and had been here many times. Was a little bit of a wait but it was a Friday night and the place was hopping, and after ordering the food my wife and I could see why. They waiter came over and gave us corn bread to start with, which we thought was weird instead of regular bread, but it was so good especially with butter. We then order the clam chowder and onion rings as a starter. Chowder was nice and plenty of clams in it. The onion rings were light and crisp. We then shared the fisherman's platter which were plenty enough for the two of us. The fish, scallops, clams and shrimp was nice and fresh, breading was light and not to corn mealy like other places we have been. Service was great, staff were nice and friendly. We will be back next time we are in the area for sure.“
“Been going there since they opened. We usually get the sicilian and sometimes garlic knots. After moving up from NY nowhere around here has garlic knots. I'll have to update this post next week with a picture before the kids get to the pizza. He's in a great location and has really good pizza. If you haven't been there yet, order online and pick yourself up a a pie (recommend the Sicilian square)“
“This a great little food and ice cream restaurant with a ton of choices to satisfy whatever you're Kraving! Quality fried seafood, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, rice bowls, baskets, clubs, Greek food, pizza and a bunch of other stuff, especially really good ice cream! Tonight I had a turkey and bacon wrap. Simple yet delicious! Staff was friendly, place is clean. Family friendly atmosphere.“
“Really glad we found this place! Their food is very tasty! Their pricing is excellent compared to other places. Though they don’t have the crispy chicken pad thai, their regular pad thai hits the spot! It’s not too dry or greasy! We also love the triangle puffs! It’s our to go thai food now around the area!“

“Lot of variety. Good ambiance. Plenty of lunch specials. Large food portions served. Very clean restaurant. I particularly enjoyed the Kung Pau Chicken served with fried rice, hot & sour Soup & Egg Roll. Staff is very cordial. We will definitely visit this Chinese restaurant again.“
“This place was so good! We had the fried shrimp & fries, the easy peel & eat shrimp, the boiled crawfish & snow crab legs and hush puppies. Everything we ordered was so good. The server was really helpful and friendly. Because we ordered $60 of food, we got a 1/2 lb of extra snow crab free as well. I wish I would have taken pics. So fresh and large pieces.“
“Awesome food and service. Went with a huge party of 10+ people and they accommodated us quickly! The drinks were great, food was stellar. I shared two entrees and two appetizers with my party and still brought food home!The seafood sauté and lobster Mac and cheese are to die for.“
“It’s DEFINITELY a takeout-only place, but the food is PHENOMENAL, and I’ve tried multiple things on the menu. My only critique is the spring rolls have too much 5-spice. Otherwise, the service and food is amazing, they’re very accommodating, and they were SOOOOOO outstanding during covid. They fed us all and kept us feeling a little more normal during a hard time. I remember being told how to make a home remedy by the front desk person (I think he was the owner, or manager at least) and he told me why he kept an open jar on the counter with onions and other things in it , I hope he knows what customer this is. There was a different, younger man at the desk today, and he was VERY friendly and efficient as well. I’m watching my husband eating it now and he’s enjoying every bite. That’s what made me think to make a review. Thank you for being a great establishment“
“The holiday margaritas were amazing to start, my boyfriend said wow about 6x while eating the calamari which was breaded IN HOUSE which definitely gives you the WOWZA feeling, I ordered the sautéed lobster roll and he ordered the blackened fish. And WOW the lobster roll was the best I've ever had EVER, it just melted in your mouth and paired with garlic butter and toasted bread MUAH perfectooo also came with sweet potato fries. The blackened fish came with sausage and shrimp with a creole sauce and it was gone in seconds.. we were so happily full after. Talked about the food alllll the way home and how great it was!! Service was also soo great, our server was so sweet and recommended just about every single thing we ordered!“
“My favorite sushi spot in Oak Square. It's nothing crazy special tbh but it always just simply fresh and good. Best reliable, affordable sushi place. I like how they keep the salmon in a big piece in their spicy salmon rolls. And their rice is flavorful and just right. The black capillary is also a good specialty roll. They do cash deals. I wouldn't say I love their sides, so I recommend stick with sushi, edamame, and miso. Definitely not a sit down spot, get it to go.“
“Ordered twin lobster special, fried rice and wonton soup. The lobster and rice were delish but the soup was overcooked and awful. I ordered takeout and when I went to pick up the order, the place was packed with a long line out the door, mostly with Asian people. I knew this restaurant had to be terrific!“
“My first time visit was amazing. Our food was served hot and delicious. The fried clams were served perfectly and the onion rings are the best I've had in a while. The tartar sauce is absolutely outstanding. Service was friendly, very much a family and welcoming atmosphere. I did not have a chance to taste the ice cream, but they had many various flavors to pick from.“
“We love coming to Neroli. My fiancé and I discovered this gem while living in Westwood but we still make the trip to dine here often even after moving to another town. We brought my dad for his birthday and my mom loved it so much we came back for hers! The food is always excellent and the interior of the restaurant is so beautiful. Service is always friendly as well. Can’t go wrong coming to Neroli!“
