The fried clams and scallops were spot on. Not greasy at all, which is hard to get right. The flavor was simple and clean. My only thing is the portion felt a bit small for the price.

Been getting takeout from here for years. Staff always remembers my name, food&#39;s usually ready early. Makes it easy to grab dinner on a busy weeknight.

The waiter was helpful with my dairy allergy. The chicken was juicy, the sauce well-balanced. Place is small, so it can feel a bit cramped. Food quality made it worthwhile.

The hush puppies were the star for me. They came out piping hot, and that spicy honey butter was just right - a little kick but not too much. Our server was on it, even with the place packed.

Great spot for catching up with friends! The portions are huge for the price, so we could all share and try a bit of everything.

As a Celiac, I was impressed. Staff clearly knew their gluten-free protocols and cross-contact risks. The gluten-free fried fish and chips were solid - some of the best I&#39;ve had. Felt safe ordering here.

As a Sicilian, I can say the flavors here are spot on. The arancini tasted just like home. The new team is definitely on the right track. My only note is the pasta was a touch overdone for my taste.

I&#39;m a regular for their breakfast bagel. The bacon, egg, and cheese is my go-to. What I really appreciate is how fresh the ingredients taste, especially the egg. It&#39;s never rubbery. Perfect for a rushed morning when you still want something decent.

The hambagu steak was juicy and cooked just right. The wine list had some nice options that paired well with it. The space is a bit tight though.

The new soft shell crab in Thai coconut curry was so good! Perfect for sharing with friends, the curry had this really nice depth to it. We just kept dipping our extra rice in it. 😋

The lobster roll was solid, mayo and dill with a good crunch. The fish and chips had that light, flaky batter I like. What really stood out was the family running the place&mdash;super pleasant and made the whole vibe feel welcoming.

Had a quick lunch meeting here. The club&#39;s historic setting is impressive, but the real win was the speed. Got a solid sandwich and salad, and we were in and out in under an hour. Perfect for a busy day.

Love the retro vibe here! The counter seating is great for watching them cook, and I appreciate seeing how fresh the ingredients look.

The fried zucchini and carne asada were good, but the portions felt a bit small for the price. I did love the whole wheat bread they bring to the table, though.

The potato pancakes were a solid choice for breakfast. Really crispy outside and the flavor was on point.

Dua and the team were really nice. They made sure we were taken care of, and even gave the kids some cookies, which was a thoughtful gesture. Service was attentive without being overbearing. A solid spot.

Nice covered patio with plants and TVs. Good spot for drinks and appetizers. The fried pickles and chicken fingers were solid.

The burgers were cooked just right, juicy and not dry at all. But the real star was the ranch dressing&mdash;so creamy and herby, I ended up dipping my fries in it too.

Grabbed a quick burger and a beer here. Solid classic burger, cooked just right. Place is bright and clean, staff were chill. Got my food in like 10 minutes, perfect for a lunch break.

The Cajun shrimp pasta is my go-to. Tried the new mozzarella sticks this time, and they were solid.

Service was really nice - they checked in just enough but never rushed us. Felt relaxed the whole time, could actually enjoy the conversation.

Tatte and Caffe Nero are always packed, so I came here for some quiet with my coffee. Got the affogato and a strawberry waffle. The portion on that waffle was huge, definitely enough to share. Good variety for the neighborhood.

Nice spot for families. The patio is lovely, and the outdoor play area kept the kids busy. Food was decent, but the service felt a bit slow that evening. Still, a solid choice if you&#39;re dining with little ones.

Sophia and Shannon were great. Felt like a regular. The margaritas are solid, and the food is top-tier for Mexican around here.

Been staying nearby and this spot&#39;s become a regular for me. The food is just always on point. Had the grilled salmon again last night, and it was cooked perfectly.

The lobster roll was so good, fresh and buttery. We snagged a patio table after a short wait, perfect for catching up with friends. The scallop roll was tasty too. A solid spot for a casual lunch!

The fresh eggs cracked right on the griddle for the breakfast sandwich were a nice touch. It felt less like airport food and more like a proper, hot meal. Made the early morning layover a bit easier.

The slice at the Faneuil Hall spot hit the spot for a quick lunch. Crust was crisp, sauce had a nice tang. For the price, it was a solid deal. Just what we needed while wandering the market.

The ice cream was delicious, and I appreciated that they used fresh, real ingredients. The kiddie size was just right for a little treat.
