“Came in on a Tuesday night after driving by this place constantly (we live close by) and always wanting to try. I think the only downside working against this place is the location. Unless you are a local I am not sure you’d stumble upon it as it’s hidden on a odd side street off route 16. And that is a SHAME because this place is really good!!! First of all the ambience and decor is so cozy and represents Peru really nicely but not in a fake overstated way. Our server was a young guy who was really nice and once he heard my husband and I speaking Spanish proceeded to serve us in Spanish the rest of the dinner which really felt very welcoming, he had a great vibe and gave us recommendations on the menu since it was our first time.They have SEVERAL Peruvian beers which was really cool, my husband tried a quinoa beer that he liked a lot.We got the ceviche del día which has a mix of seafood. So flavorful and amazing, as Peruvian ceviche always is.We got a specials menu sandwich with chicharrón, sweet potato, pickled onion, and mint that was so freaking delicious. The bread was insanely good, and the chicharrón was soooo crispy on the outside yet not impossible to chew as it sometimes can be if not done right.We also got the ahí de gallina which was very flavorful, I think it was my least favorite because it’s sort of a simple dish and I like things with lots of different elements and textures, but I wanted to try this Peruvian classic and I don’t regret it!Parking: You can park outside of the restaurant where there are signs that say Tambo 22 parking. Maybe around 6 spots?“

“so cool and creative. good amazing. great vibe.“

“I rarely leave reviews, but felt I needed to for our first experience at Ithaki. We dined yesterday, which was Greek Easter. It was also my birthday, so no cooking! lol Made a reservation for 4, but at the last minute, my 92 year old mother felt up to joining us - she hasn't been interested in going out much lately, so we spent the morning with her. We were thrilled, and decided to chance it, hoping they could add a fifth to our reservation. It was crazy busy, but the staff really worked hard to accommodate us, and did so in a very timely manner. We were most grateful. The decor is beautiful, the service was impeccable, and the food was superb, even on this very busy day. They even included red eggs! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back soon.“

“Yum! I’ve tried a lot of birria tacos around the city and these were by far some of the best! The dish came with black beans and rice, a large bowl of broth and side of salsa verde. We love an establishment that goes heavy on the sauce. This is a must try! Plus, it’s open earlier than a lot of other restos in the area.“

“Wonderful food and great vibe. The owner/check is really vested in his menu and in his customers. Tapas style and 3 items was certainly enough fir 2! Food is so delicious.“

“... One of our go-to restaurants when hitting the theater... Food is always fresh & delicious. Our waitress was excellent. She was attentive to all her tables ... it was very busy but she never made you feel like she didn't have time. It is a bit loud when the entire place is full but we were sat closer to the kitchen & it was a the perfect table. I was surprised the sounds were not overwhelming. We did have to wait for about 40 minutes for a table ... but it was Saturday @ dinner time. We chose to wait instead of sitting at the bar. We took our favorite pizza home with us .. fig & prosciutto... they did change the recipe but it was still amazing! Stop by if you're looking for great dishes or an outstanding pizza!“

“500 Ocean is a beautiful property with some amazing amenities. It is in a great location, surrounded by ocean views, restaurants and very accessible to the T, literally right below the building. My husband and I had a great experience living here and had rarely any issues. The main issue we had at move-in was addressed and we were even offered a small gift for the inconvenience. I love the maintenance staff and they are always so pleasant and helpful. One of my favorite parts of living here was having an in-house fitness coach/ personal trainer- Cienna Jade! She is so amazing to work with and has really helped me along my fitness journey. It was so convenient having her come to the 500 Ocean gym, which is one of the best gyms I've seen in an apartment home. She conducts 1 on 1 sessions and will literally work with you on scheduling a time that's convenient for you as well as offering group or couple sessions! Overall, very pleasant experience!“

“First timer but certainly the last ! The service was friendly and efficient and the food was excellent! This restaurant is a very good place to visit if you are attending an event at the Cabot , a special occasion or just for the pleasure of it.“

“Come here all the time and it is by far the best pizza I’ve ever had! Everything is great, from the bread to the desserts. The owners Sonia and Sean are the best!“

“We love the place ! Very cozy atmosphere, the food us top of the line, always fresh, always delicious! Place aways clean , neat ! The staff is very friendly, very professional ! Highly would recommend this restaurant to everyone !!! Keep up the great work guys !!!“

“Went this past weekend. Luckily made a reservation a week prior because it was packed! Very attentive service. No rush, but there when we needed him. We have cocktails at the Hidden Door before arriving so we order wine and beer straightaway. Apps were the Hamachi tartar - FANTASTIC. Onion soup - wonderful. Escargot - look at that s car go!.. Mains were equally wonderful. The skate wing was perfect. Frankly it was so good I forget what everyone else got. Desserts were also yummy. We opted for the honey lavender sorbet - light and refreshing. We'll be back!“

“35 Beach is worth a visit! In the old Beach Street location in Manchester-by-the-Sea. New owners completely remodeled inside, and it is fresh and welcoming. Food and service are excellent! I had not realized they served breakfast too, until yesterday when we stopped in - was excellent and happy to have such a nice breakfast spot back on Cape Ann...“

“Best drinks you'll ever have for the best price great crowd all the time cheap food that's great excellent staff and patrons and their staff is on point with everything definitely a staple of Peabody try signature sweet tart drink you won't regret it“

“Was there for a bridal shower, the staff was amazing, the food was great but the complaint I have is the portions were too big. I know that sounds weird but, at a buffet you want to try a few things but, the size took up the whole plate (I wanted to try chicken and waffles and the eggs Benedict but the chicken and waffles was huge. ) the cupcake tower FABULOUS! So, we had a great time and even did some shopping afterwards!“

“G offers fine dining in a casual setting. Our cocktails were first rate-I especially recommend the Smoky Punch, a Mexcal-based drink. Our food was excellent too: We shared the arincini and the beet salad, and had the eggplant entree. The chocolate soufflé dessert was a fine way to end our meal. Service was friendly and attentive too.“

“Beautiful vantage point of the ocean and downtown Boston! Food was delicious (I had the grey sole) and simply prepared rather than overdone with sauce and complications. Just the way seafood should be! Our large group was celebrating a special occasion and we weren't all there exactly at the reservation hour. The staff was very gracious in taking care of our drink orders and did not rush us as we waited for our group to arrive. The restaurant more than met our expectations.“

“Excellent meal, nice people, latin music, and they humored me using my limited Spanish. Muy sabrosa la comida! 5 stars.“
