“I would like to thank Captain Marden for sharing their delicious food at the Winthrop Farmers Market! The wonderful food selections and the amazing staff member who was always there with a smile! Much appreciated! See you next year!“

“Been there a few times already. Food is really fresh and really tasty. Portions are generous. Service was quick and efficient. Perfect place to go when you need a quick meal that doesn’t taste like fast food.“

“On October 2nd, we hosted a Rehearsal Dinner for 35 that opened up to a Welcome Party for 90. The transition in their beautiful event space was seamless, thanks to Joanna and her wonderful staff. Leading up to the events, Joanna answered any question I threw at her. It was especially comforting since I was organizing from Florida. The food at the rehearsal dinner was delicious, chicken parm, salmon, gnocchi. The service, both food and drink was exceptional. We did a prix fixe menu and Joanna created a specific menu for our event. It felt very special. For the welcome party with an open bar, we chose a charcuterie board, fruit platter, meatballs and arancini all served buffet style. High top tables were added to accommodate the additional guests. Again, Joanna and her staff paid attention to every detail. As the hostess, besides wanting great food and service for my guests, it was extremely important that I got to enjoy my son’s wedding festivities. I had the best time not having to worry about a thing. I can’t thank Joanna and her staff enough for making it all happen.“

“Little tao is my hidden gem in Boston for spicy food. It has various kinds of Szechuan cuisines. I love the stir fried pork belly with chili. This place also has dumplings. The Taiwanese tradition dumplings is very delicious with meat and beans inside.“

“Probably one of the best meals ever. From oysters to bread pudding! So amazing! A burst of flavor in every bite! Go out of your way if you have to , you won’t regret! 💕“

“The woman who waited on me and my family was incredibly kind. We have a wheelchair bound daughter and I just hope the know how come the made us feel plus the food was amazing. Save room for a cappuccino and tiramisu!“

“This place is legit! Our favorite was the double cooked pork. The only thing we didn’t like was the soup, which had too many peppers in it. But there are other things on the menu that we would like to try. I will eat here again!“

“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 love StockYard. We haven't been in a long time as we moved faraway. Now, after 10 years we came back and it was like we never stopped coming to eat here. The food was super delicious. The NY Sirloin, and the tenderness of the Fille Minog was extraordinary. Outstanding customer service. The drinks were superb. And the complimentary chocolate cake with ice cream for Father's day was out of this world. Thank you.“

“25 years I have been charged mine here. In all that time, never any less than fabulous!“

“Fabulous simple basic delectable food! Wonderful homey and comfortable atmosphere. Excellent friendly waitresses. Amazing prices. I love going there.“

“Took family there today, both service and food were great. would definately recommend!!“

“This is easily the best local seafood in town. The list of locally sourced oysters goes on for days. They give you a pencil to select today’s fresh offerings. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive. The lobster rolls (we had them both ways) are easily the best in Boston. We were greeted by Chef Jeremy and we can easily see why this place sets the standard for local seafood. We’ll be back.“

“I would like to express my gratitude to Blue Salt staff (with special thanks going to Igor) who made our special occasion so memorable! I needed to organize a nice dinner for 15 people for my son's birthday. The whole process was absolutely flawless - from initial contact with Igor who took care of all the planning and setup. When we arrived to the restaurant everything was ready and we were treated with utmost attention. The dinner was served family style and we had a chance to pick our menu selections to be shared. The portions were very generous, beautifully decorated and served, service was impeccable. The food was absolutely amazing! Everyone was beyond satisfied and happy. Thank you, thank you, thank you Igor and Blue Salt team! You made our event very special and unforgettable!“

“We were celebrating our 16th anniversary and my retirement, and wanted to do it up right! We picked the right place for it. Coming in from Cape Cod, for a concert at Fenway we had reservations for Abe and Louie’s, but there were 2 at the bar so they let us sit there instead of our table. Our bartenders were great. To our surprise, Bree almost immediately said “Happy Anniversary!” And our drink order was taken. Michelle made a spicy margarita with a nice kick and a heavy glass, and a soda. Then we ordered shrimp cocktail which were brought out in mere moments. The shrimp were huge and cold and crunchy- perfect! We took our time and were not rushed to order our meal, but once we did, with Kendal, she asked all the right questions, offered to split our salad in the kitchen, and made some great recommendations. I wanted my Filet with their wedge salad as my entree and was told no problem. Our meal, my huge filet and my man’s ribeye were both cooked as requested and his suggested garlic whipped potatoes were creamy and yummy! The food was all out of this world, but what made the dining a true experience was the tango these three women danced around each other, each knowing what the other was doing and exactly what their patrons wanted. You can get a great filet many places but I pay for the service and we both felt like we were treated like royalty. Thank you Bree, Kendal and Michelle for making our anniversary and my retirement a true celebration!!“

“From start to finish it was awesome!!! Food, drinks and service were amazing! Rodi was an amazing hostess, thank you for the awesome experience. Patrick, Annelice and Breana. Ps. Romania 🇷🇴 here we come. 😂“

“Was very delicious!! Definitely would go there again“

“Great food, best Steak tips around.“

“Great food and service equals great value!!“

“Food was great as was our server. There was a birthday celebrant with us and she was treated accordingly. The only issue to me was how loud the place was because it was quite full. There is no reason why noise buffers can't be used from the start when restaurants are designed.“

“Love this place everytime we in Chicago“

“Vico Ristorante Italiano offers an authentic Italian experience on the South Shore, with "amazing food". The service was great, with a large wine selection. I recommend the Rigatoni Bolognese.“

“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!“

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

“Good Food and Good Vibe more bigger with bar and 10 minutes away from my job in Brighton 😋👍“

“We love this restaurant! The hostess, Barbara, is excellent; personable and professional. She makes every effort to accommodate our requests. In addition our waiter, Fong, was exceptional. He too was personable and professional. Food was great as usual.“

“This is honestly my favorite place! The two owners are always so kind and welcoming, and they make every visit feel special. The food is absolutely delicious, the portions are generous, and everything is always fresh and clean. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of food you get.

I truly hope the two owners stay here for many, many years because this place has become my go-to spot. Highly recommend! ❤️“

“Here’s a polished version in the style of a food critic:

From the moment you step inside, the restaurant makes a strong first impression. Soaring ceilings and a whimsical underwater theme create a distinctive atmosphere, with imaginative light fixtures resembling streams of ocean bubbles and colorful octopus murals adorning the walls. The space feels inviting, thoughtfully designed, and impeccably maintained. Guests can also take advantage of the outdoor dining area, which adds to the restaurant’s appeal.

The kitchen delivers where it matters most. The octopus appetizer, frequently praised by diners, lives up to its reputation with excellent flavor and preparation. The pasta dishes were equally impressive, showcasing well-balanced flavors and expertly executed textures. Each plate demonstrated attention to detail and a solid command of technique.

Service, however, proved to be the restaurant’s weakest point. Despite arriving around 1 p.m. during a relatively quiet period, the pace of the meal was noticeably slow. Given the light crowd, a more efficient turnaround would have been expected. The dining experience was further hindered by inattentive service, as our server checked on the table only once throughout the meal.

Overall, the restaurant offers an enjoyable dining experience highlighted by creative design and well-executed cuisine. While the food is certainly worth trying, the combination of sluggish service and premium pricing makes the value proposition less compelling. At this price point, there are stronger dining options available that deliver a more complete experience.“

“The best sushi!! Great quality super tasty 10/10 friendly staff I recommend!!!!!“

“Oh my god, this place is so good. It totally hit the mark when I was craving Korean BBQ. For $40 per person, you can eat as much Korean BBQ as you want. Not only pork, but chicken and beef too, and all the side dishes are excellent. I couldn’t believe how good the kimchi stew and egg soufflé were.

I am pretty sure the place is run by Chinese owners, so you cannot really expect ssamjang, but for this price point it is about as good as an all you can eat Korean BBQ place can get. Even though it is AYCE, the food quality is still very solid and I honestly do not know how they make a profit with how generous the portions are.

Loved it and I am honestly considering signing up for the membership. Will definitely come back again. But beware there will be a long line. We waited about 40 minutes starting around 8 p.m. on a Friday.“

“Amazing.“

“I've always been a customer of TOTH. It has been a few months that I've ordered from them, but tonight I wanted a good italian sub. I called to place a order and the young lady that took my order was very polite and attentive. When I got there, the young lady greeted me, and then another worker greeted me as well. Needless to say my italian sub was absolutely delicious. I've tried 6 different places looking for a good Italian sub. This was my first time ordering an italian sub from TOTH.I will always order my italian sub from them,from this point forward. Made just right.“

“We LOVE Kravings!! There is always something for each member of our family to enjoy when we go there for dinner. The owners are amazing and so is their ice cream. Definitely recommend 100%“

“Ive been coming here for years & I promise the food is so good 10/10 for sure! Everything is always hot and fresh. The staff is top tier❤️“

“I go to Novato’s and pick up from there often. Every meal I have had has been very good! The staff is courteous and attentive. If you’re looking for a drink and apps with friends, picking up for lunch or a night you don’t want to cook, or a night out for dinner, this is the place! Can’t say enough good things. It’s a go to for any time you want great food and service!“

“Best place and best people“

“Recently hosted a combined 1st birthday party for my son and cousin at the Quincy Elks. I was nervous about the distance between Canton and Quincy but food was delivered on time and hot! 🔥 Everyone loved the buffalo and gold fever chicken fingers and party pizzas! Crisp helped make hosting a party so easy! Thanks to the whole team!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Our first time here and can’t recommend this place enough! Everyone is extremely welcoming! I’m assuming it was the owner that brought the kids an appetizer on the house with a big smile and high fives! HOW COOL! The flavor was amazing! Service was great thank you guys!!!!!!“
