“They have a fixed menu. There’s refill to the sauce, steak and fries, the quantity of food is quite good. The steaks were amazing! And the butter based sauce too, it was really good! The drink options are limited but really nice and warm for the weather! We were a group of three the wait time was around 15mins. But once it was over we got a table and everything was very well handled by the staff! They also served a lots of bread if one wants :)“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“I had an incredible experience at Matchbox Pizza! One of the things that stood out to me was the incredible service. Our server, Edgardo. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure our experience was top-notch. The pizza? Amazing. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings fresh, and the flavors all blended beautifully. Edgardo was quick to offer great recommendations, and his knowledge of the menu made it easy to decide on the best options. Definitely check out Matchbox Pizza.You won’t be disappointed!“

“We love this restaurant. The food is absolutely delicious. I even dream about the Bacchus eggplant dip! ?The stuffed grape leaves are the best I’ve ever had. I also love the lamb kabob. Most pleasant, is the warm welcome and excellent service. If you happen to go on a Friday or Saturday night when there’s a belly dancer performing, it’s just the cherry on top, with a fun atmosphere as if all the guests are family in one big party.“

“This is a popular place so I expected crowding and a high noise level, but my friend and I went before 6pm and neither was an issue. We shared 3 appetizers (they are large so each could easily have been shared by 4), and all were delicious - avocado toast with smoked salmon, bruschetta with goat cheese, and the new Street Corn. Followed by the decadent real milkshakes. Looking forward to leftovers tonight! The menu is huge and varied.“

“The food here is sooooooo good. The best food on base in my opinion. (But the galley is pretty awesome and way cheaper). You pay a bit more here but the quality is great. They also do private event catering. (just don't get the cake, it's meh). The only downside and I wish I could give 4.5 stars is the fact that all of their iced tea is by default sweet tea. Pretty ableist for a restaurant that caters to wounded warriors.“

“14OCT.2021 I stayed in the Mariott a month ago and didn’t have the time to check out this lovely, refined restaurant. My experience was beautiful, professional, kind, easy going, pleasant, welcoming,inviting and amazing! The atmosphere was the same. My waitress was very kind and attentive. The food was super delicious. I had the Ollie's meat trio flatbread (Pepperoni, Calabrese, Toscano, fresh mozzarella, sweet basil)for a snack and then I devoured the Black Bass(local carrot trio, heirloom fingerling potato, French beans, citrus veloute)for dinner. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and very organized. Best experience ever. Best pre birthday dining festivities. So glad I was in the area and stopped by. I love, love, love, love this place. The bathrooms are no hand entry(wave hand in front of sensor, door gradually opens)and very clean. Apparently the transition from lunch to dinner, the lights are dimmed.“

The atmosphere of this cafe is more like a diner. Nothing fancy but comfortable.

We had the steak barley soup, lobster bisque, calamari, heriloom tomatoes burrata salad, ravioli, turkey avocado sandwich, and penne bolognese pasta with chicken meatball. And we all enjoyed everything we ordered.

Our server was attentive and courteous & price came out pretty reasonable.
Definitely recommended by @WineDinenVacay“

“Cute atmosphere, nicer than your average bowling alley, food was pretty good for bowling alley food. Not too busy for a Friday. Friendly staff. Only complaint is drinks were slow for a slow night, and lady at the front seemed irritated we didn't know our shoe sizes for women for unisex shoes, lol. And slightly pricier than average alley, but you pay for the nicer atmosphere. I also found a great groupon, you just can reserve ahead of time, and have to gake a chance by just showing up with a groupon, but we got lucky with open lanes. It's definitely worth it. My entire group said they would go again.“
