Lemon Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.8 (367) • $$

"Sometimes the only option for delivery is a third party service such as GrubHub or UberEats or DoorDash. Well, that's not the case for Lemon Thai. They offer to take both delivery or pickup orders on their website (http://www.lemonthai.com/) through Toast. The delivery fee seemed reasonable at first glance, unlike the inflated prices deliver apps often offer on top of their delivery fees, but I was placing an order for a friend and she was happy to pick it up as she made her way home.Order placing was simple enough. Prices for their carb dishes were quite reasonable summer 2022 at $12-13. I like Thai, and it is a cuisine that works well for their dairy constraint. And if you set up an account with Toast, you can earn points. (I hope those don't expire...)Can't judge the food myself though since I didn't get to eat it. But they live in the neighborhood, and didn't balk at my consideration of Lemon Thai for this meal, so that says something.Steamed Thai Dumplings (7 pieces) $8Crispy Chicken Pad Thai $13Pork Pad See You $12"

Puritan Oyster Bar

★★★★★ 4.8 (19)

"It is connected to Puritan and Co, but has a completely separate menu. First off, service was awesome. Greeted by a guy who was either an owner or the absolute best manager ever. He offered up menus for both Puritan and Co and the Puritan oyster bar to let me decide which place I wanted to sit. Super friendly guy and just seemed like he was made for this business. I didn't expect him to be so accommodating, but it immediately set this place up for 5 stars. The space is so nice. Feels like a cape cod eatery. You definitely get the ocean vibe. It's spacious and nicely decorated. Food was awesome. Lobster roll was delicious. Comes in hot buttered or mayo style. Fries were crispy too. Salmon crudo was refreshing. I could have eaten another plate. Definitely get this dish. Caviar cone had a cool presentation. Also tasty. Yellowtail tacos were fresh and yummy. I could eat quite a few of these. The place does great small plates. I highly recommend getting a mix of things. It was all fresh. They do a selection of oysters too. With the oysters are squeeze bottles of toppings. Brilliant. Cocktails were good too. One had an oyster vodka. Overall... you need to go here. Best spot in Cambridge for small, fresh seafood plates with great flavors. I'll be back."

★★★★☆ 3.8 (234) • $$

"The dollar oysters are an incredible deal. Most places with dollar oysters feel like you're getting the left over, tiny oysters that aren't so fresh and about to expire. This place has huge oysters. So sweet and not salty. I will be returning for this deal every week. The short rib egg rolls were also awesome. Not greasy and so flavorful. I was really impressed. I will certainly try more things here but the oysters have won me over. This hands down might be the best spot for happy hour. The only problem is how close to my gym it is. Haha."

Pier 6 Boston Waterfront

★★★★☆ 3.5 (534) • $$

"I really love the view from Pier 6 the food was exceptionally good and fresh in the upstairs dining. There is a roof deck, but I recommend that people make reservationsbeforehand. There's also a bar downstairs alfresco. There's a lot of families, dates,neighbors, groups of people in this location as a fun festive laid-back environment. I enjoyed my oysters, tuna tartare, beet salad, halibut tacos. The mussels are to die for! Service was very friendly highly recommend."

Los Cabos

★★★★☆ 3.6 (83) • $$

"First time to eat at Los Cabo's was on a Saturday afternoon around 2:00. The restaurant was not too busy so we were seated right away. Warm chips were served with freshly made mild salsa. We prefer hotter salsa so we add a few drops of Tabasco to spice it up. Started with jalapeño margarita which was spicy, strong and delicious. For lunch we had the pork carnitas with black beans, Spanish rice and a small side of guacamole. The carnitas was served hot, nicely seasoned and very tender. Also had a pick 2 combo: chicken mole enchilada and a cheese chili relleno. The relleno pepper was soft, cheesy and tasty. Mole sauce had a nice flavor. We'll definitely be back!"

Black Lamb

★★★★☆ 3.8 (283)

"Cute eatery in the South End, but you definitely pay out the nose. Lunch for me and my cousin ended up being around $120 including tip (talk about sticker shock). I had been looking for a place that does one dollar oysters - Black Lamb has $2 oysters every weekday (all day on Monday and it ends at 5pm on Tuesday-Friday) - the ones we got that day were a tad on the puny side and quite briny. Overall, not my favorite, I'm partial to the West Coast ones. I also wasn't a fan of any of the three sauces they gave. Usually, I'm big into the cocktail sauce/horseradish, but they gave the two in the same cup and the ratio was too much horseradish, not enough cocktail sauce. We got the pickle plate and the parker house rolls with pimento cheese. The pickles didn't do it for me but I'm also not big on sour. The house rolls were the bomb - get the pimento cheese with it (the $4 was well-spent). The village salad was a tiny, tiny amount of vegetables for $16. Yes, I'm still bitter days later. I was thinking it might be big enough for an entree and wish I had thought to ask before putting in the order. I basically ate the whole thing in five minutes and watched my cousin devour her duck leg (which, incidentally, was quite a generous portion) for the rest of lunch. Surely, they could've coughed up some more heirloom tomatoes and cucumbers for that price?Our waiter was nice and personable! He gave ample warning about the bees in the outdoor area. Parking: It's the South End. Walk or take public transport instead."

The Marina Restaurant & Bar At the Wharf

★★★★☆ 4.1 (357) • $$

"Our party of five wanted to dine outside, and we were promptly seated on their large deck. The Marina Restaurant has a great deck, on the ocean with umbrellas. Most of our party was shaded during our lunch, two diners had difficulty remaining out of the full sun. On the weekends, they defer to their dinner menu, so portions are large, and the prices are set accordingly. We selected:* Baked Haddock* Bacon Cheeseburger * Bowl of Chowder* Eggplant Rolitini* Seared TunaThe haddock was described as tasty, the eggplant dense and heavy, the cheeseburger and chowder good, and the seared tuna was good, though slightly sinewy and difficult to cut. The tuna was prepared as two large pieces (it was a large portion), I'd have preferred it if it was cut into a series of thinner slices. Also at $38, it compared unfavorably to Hemenway's in Providence, which has a much better dish and is $36. Further, The Marina Restaurant Tuna dish included a very modest seaweed salad, and a more substantial traditional salad on the plate. As we were already getting a salad with our entrees (more on that in a minute), I would have preferred a more substantial seaweed salad.Our entrées included a salad served in a large bowl for the table. It was a traditional garden salad, mainly lettuce and tomato with some onion, with an Italian style house dressing. It was good, standard fare. There was plenty for everyone, nobody had seconds.Overall, I'd describe the food as fairly good, the service very good and the deskside venue very nice. The bill total (no alcohol) was $143 with tip, and an overall four-star dining experience on this day."

El Peñol 3

★★★★★ 4.5 (30)

"Since it's fairly new, I don't know if a lot of people know this place yet but it was fairly empty when we visited. Quiet and quick attentive service. I would say the prices range from fair to a bit on the pricier end -- would say this is like an upscale Colombian restaurant. For drinks, we got the lulu and papaya milk drinks -- both were SO creamy, well blended and delicious. The lulu milk was sour and sweet in a good way and the papaya was very sweet -- and I was glad you could taste the papaya. They have these milk drinks in other flavors like mango, passion fruit, soursop and more -- definitely will be coming back to try more!I was debating between three entrees so the waitress recommended us the lengua criolla. She mentioned it's softer and moist (you could choose between the criolla aka saucy/stew-like or the plancha aka grilled but she said plancha is a bit drier since it's grilled). Y'all, this did not disappoint!! Hands down one of my new favorite entrees that I would definitely order again. The lengua was moist indeed and I was surprised how tender they made this to be. The sauce was flavorful as well. My husband got their shrimp and beef picadillo -- the shrimp was really tasty and they gave a reasonable amount in it. The beef was good but a bit stiff. My husband came once before and he really enjoyed their grilled chicken the most and said he would definitely want to order that again (over the shrimp and beef picadillo dish). Lastly, for dessert, we tried their tres leches. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't say it's my favorite. Compared to other tres leches, it is drier and more similar to a normal vanilla cake. So far, my favorite tres leches in the Boston area is at Dona habana. Otherwise, this Colombian restaurant has a lot of wonderful gems that are worth trying!"

Paddy's Public House

★★★★☆ 4.3 (337) • $$

"I will give Paddy's Public House in Newton, MA, a round-up five-start review from my four and 1/2-star experience. I was staying in the area and visiting my daughter, and I walked over here for a meal by myself. When I arrived, the bar and restaurant downstairs were packed, and the hostess nicely and smartly recommended I check out the upstairs when I mentioned I wanted to eat at the bar. The ambiance throughout was that of a typical Irish pub. The menu options were excellent, and there were several items I would like to try. I ordered the steak tips with mashed potatoes and squash, and they hit the spot. I also had a couple of IPAs as well. The beer and drink selections were solid. My bartender provided excellent service. Overall, this was a 100% positive experience, and I would be a regular if I lived in the area."

Salt + Stone

★★★★☆ 3.9 (215) • $$

"Pretty good spot. Drinks were great, ambience is the cool side of Amazon's home decor, hummus plate was pretty good. Prices are reasonable but on the high end.The service was fantastic. Down to earth, personable, and gave great recommendations for what to order. Highlights included their award-winning cocktail (I forget the name, I think it had elderflower? Maybe lavender?) and the truffle deviled eggs. We asked for the bacon in the side and received a generous portion. 4 stars for it not really pushing the boundaries much when it comes to the experience. I kind of expected more exciting things on the menu based on the look of the place online. Nevertheless, I was happy and would maybe go back if I didn't have anything else to try!"

"Picky about seafood? Like creative yet refined flavors? This is the place for you. We picked a 5 pm seating... I was (reluctantly) permitted to sit inside to wait the 10 minutes for my party to arrive before the restaurant actually opened. The food was mind blowing. Course after course-- cohesive, clean, inventive, down to the desert. Highlights included some melon tuna thing and the ceviche. Worth the trip, worth the price. We were even able to find street parking one block away!!"

"Vietnamese food? Raw Bar? On the beach? With a respectable pun in the name? I think I had a dream like this once. Who knew that Revere would be the place that dreams come true?I'll be honest, this is neither the best raw bar or Vietnamese food I've ever had, but it's definitely one of the most unique menus I've ever come across just, like, in general. And the food is good, the service is nice and the place is impeccably clean.Seafood boils, oysters and pho? Outdoor seating with a view of the ocean? Like, do you really need a review here?"

L'Osteria

★★★★☆ 3.5 (456) • $$

"I just went here last night for my friend's birthday dinner and it was a huge hit. There were 6 of us and we had a reservation. We were seated within 5 mins of our arrival and got the best seat in the house. The service was quick and all of us really enjoyed our meals. They gave us a bowl of bread with parmesan cheese, crushed red paper, salt, pepper, and olive oil already on the table so we could create our own little dip for the bread. We all got drinks and dinner and everyone truly enjoyed it from start to finish. I got the chicken parm and it was delicious! Now for the star(s) of the show: midway through dinner, two guys started singing Italian songs while all the tables were seated and eating. Everyone loved it and started singing/clapping/laughing and all around was having such a good time. Moments like this truly makes going out to dinner a night to remember. The singers even asked if anyone was celebrating their birthday. 4 tables were! We had a blast doing a "cheers" with them and listening to them sing happy birthday to our friend and all those celebrating."

A J Tomaiolos Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (43)

"I love this place. My gf found this restaurant online so we checked it out last night. The vibe is really nice and relaxing. Anthony was our bartender and a nice guy. His family owns the place. The Valpolicella red wine is to die for. I actually ordered 2 bottles to go it was so good. I wish I had taken pictures of the food but I forgot. The Bruschetta was very tasty and a large appetizer. The Shrimp Scampi was delicious and a large portion. The house salad with the homemade Cucumber Dill dressing was also delicious. If you're looking for a hearty meal, this is your spot. I couldn't dine here regularly as I'd gain 100 lbs. in no time, but I could see coming here weekly for sure."

Mi Pueblito Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (219)

"My friend finally took me here after promising such a long time ago. She told me there was a parking lot but by the time we got there on a Saturday morning, there was one very narrow spot. A kind staff member tried to suggest how to get in but then recommended the school parking lot just across the street. It was a kind gesture and greatly appreciated. For appetizers we shared Pupusas lorroco and revueltas as well as Chicharron con yucca frita. The pupusas were larger than usual and came out pretty quick. They tasted good but fell apart very easily. Chicharron was crispy with the fatty layer still slightly soft and easier to chew into than usual. I personally would have liked the yucca fried for longer so that I could see more of a separation between the layers but still yummy with the pink sauce, tomato sauce and cabbage salad. For entrees we shared Huevos con chorizo and Camorones Al ajillo. All the ingredients were fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the variety of textures, temperatures and colors. Shrimps we're plump and delicious. Overall, we had a great experience. Staff went above and beyond to continually check on us and complete our requests. Bathroom was clean and spacious. Highly recommend checking them out!"

Luke's Lobster Back Bay

★★★★☆ 4.2 (2108) • $$

"What would a visit to Boston be without at least trying their Lobster Rolls eh? Having done some research as to the best places for some really good Boston lobster rolls, we stumbled across Luke's, and fortunately for us, there happened to be one just across from our hotel. And yea, it's a fast food joint, and I hardly ever give such good ratings for fast food outlets, but this place deserves an exception.The menu can be a bit confusing for any first timer as there are many combinations of rolls that you can order that come with with a number of different seafoods, flavors, sides, and drinks. Or, you can just order the classic Lobster Roll with Lemon Butter.Either the person taking your order will see how bewildered, overwhelmed, and confused you look and ask if this is your first time there, or just tell them that this is your first time there and he/she will take out and show you one of their hidden photo menus and explain everything to you.So, since this was our first time there, it was recommended we try one of the "Flights" of mini rolls to try, so that we can which flavors and seafoods we really liked. I went ahead and ordered the Seafood Flight.....which comes with one each of the mini lobster, crab, and shrimp rolls.....and this came with a bag of chips (which you help yourself to) and a drink. Unfortunately, no alcohol is served here.....which was so disappointing to my wife as she loves her cold brewsky with any meal. Anyway, she knew exactly what she wanted and went ahead and ordered the Lobster Flight....or three mini lobster rolls with lemon, spicy honey, and truffle flavors. And just to complete our meal, we went ahead and ordered one Lobster Bisque and one Clam Chowder soup.WOW! Everything we ordered was amazingly delicious! It is also worth mentioning that the rolls were not too thick too...and didn't overwhelm the seafood, and once grilled with some butter, it had a nice light crunch to its thin crust...and tasted amazing along with the combination of the freshest and perfectly flavored seafood. After taking just one bite, you can tell that this was Lobster (or seafood) Roll perfection! The amount of lobster, crab, shrimp in each roll was also very generous.....unlike the lobster roll we had at a full service restaurant a couple of days ago.The lobster bisque and clam chowder were also nice and thick, full of ingredients, and absolutely delicious!......but be careful not to sit at the table right under the cold blowing AC or your soup will get cool fast.Oh ya, those small bags of kettle chips that came with each order....yea, they were so good too! Went great with the rolls as it added some nice and yummy crunch to the meal.Needless to say, my wife and I were totally enjoyed our lunch and were so impressed by the quality of Luke's lobster/seafood rolls. So much so that after we were done with the lobster and seafood flights, we went back and ordered a regular Lobster Roll, just because they were so addictive, and we just couldn't get enough of it! This was an excellent experience for sure.....so much so that we came back here again the following day when the rest of our visiting guests arrived. Yes, lobster rolls in Boston are not cheap at all......a lunch for a group of five of us on the second day's visit came to about $250...the most expensive fast food meal I had ever paid for in my life......but oh boy! ....it was so worth it! :D"

"Found place through a Yelp search for breakfast spot. We were here Sunday morning around 8. Place was fairly empty. We sat outside. Service was fast.We ordered typical breakfast food. Breakfast food is cooked fast, but this place might have set a record. It felt like less than 5 minutes. Eggs and sausage were great. My daughter enjoyed the pancakes with strawberries on top. She played great soccer later that morning so maybe we give credit to the food? This place is on the second floor which is called floor 1. I walked right by the sign that told us where to go."

Moeca Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (52)

"Pretty interesting, seafood-centered dishes - and a reservation here is easier to come by than Giulia's. Even on a busy weekday night, I could still hear the people across from and sitting next to me (not a fan of places where you come out of dinner with a sore throat from having to yell to be heard). However, the food was not as good as I hoped, particularly given the price point. We ordered 5 dishes from the main menu, which turned out to be a perfect amount of food (our waitress recommended 6-8 for three people), and a dessert. My favorites were the tuna d'nuja, or minced tuna with Calabrian chili (the bread on the side, however, was way too burnt), the bucatini, and the dark chocolate bread pudding. The bucatini in particular was cooked perfectly. That said, a few of the other dishes were too heavy on the salt for my preference, including the chickpea pancake and the sprouting cauliflower. Our waitress was wonderful and patient in going over the various dishes on the menu. Overall, though, it was about $180 for three people, so not a cheap dinner, and I was still hungry after we left. I'd give it another try, though, if I'm in the neighborhood."

"Popped in here for lunch and it really hit the spot. The burger is as classic as a pub burger should be in the best of ways. Really well prepared, and the potatoes were the right texture and plentiful. And both were even better with the side of bbq sauce I got which you should definitely get too. If it wasn't so pricey for a burger at lunch, I'd say it should be a regular event."

"My friends and I stopped in at Pho Pasteur late on a Friday night. We actually stayed until closing. The staff was very kind about informing us that it was almost time to close. It's a pretty casual spot, so don't expect fine dining! You know it's a good sign when it's always busy.Sadly I lost the pictures of the actual food... but thankfully I still had the reciept, so I know exactly what we ordered! We started out with the Spring Rolls, which were absolutely fresh and delicious. Nothing beats the sauce on the side. Two of us got the Beef Noodle Soup and one got the Vegetable and Tofu Noodle Soup. Both soups were excellent and the potions were huge!"

Limani Grille

★★★★☆ 4.2 (86)

"I regret our experience at Limani. That is in the best sense. We ate too much. It was all good.Our party of four consisted of two runners who would be doing the Memorial Day half marathon twelve hours later and our respective spouses (college roommates). I was worried we had ordered more than we could finish. Nobody listened. We just about did it. I hate to waste food. I was more than prepared for the race.We had chopped salad, the chips, lobster mac and cheese, chicken meatballs, fava beans, mussels, and a whole fish. The salad had a few tiny peppers, round ones that were just right for me but too hot for my wife. The chips are made of zucchini and eggplant, alternating, served with tzatziki, cut so thin it must have been done with one of those scary mandolins and fried by someone whose hand and timing are experienced and perfect. The lobster made and cheese is what the runners consumed for calories. Although the chicken meatballs are not my favorite dish, these were about the best I have tried. Fava beans are something I always think to myself I ought to have more of. The mussels were the smaller type my wife favors. The fish was great, fresh and at a midpoint between flaky and meaty and fishy and not. I had non alcoholic beer. That is a product that has been improved greatly. The complimentary bread was served with their house brand olive oil.The server was attentive. The manager (or maitre d or more important server, in a pink jacket from the Miami Vice catalog, a compliment and not a criticism -- I'd like to have one of those) came by to check on things. They were busy. That's a good sign. The whole neighborhood was bustling. As a New Yorker, I get to Boston maybe every other year. I don't remember this area as being so popular. It is good to see.PS My friend finished first in his division. I finished at the back of the pack, but I passed people successively as the race progressed."

We also had tempura like beans for an app. Food was very good -the tab was expensive but it was nice to treat ourselves well for once.

"You can tell it's an old neighborhood restaurant. The Chateau has parking next door and across the street, and both must be needed occasionally because the inside is huge too. I've seen smaller restrooms in movie theaters! It's very cute though, definitely nostalgic, and lots of room. The menu has so many options, especially if you're there for lunch. I was craving Alfredo and their hit just the spot. The Cesar salad was classic perfect. They are, as many restaurants are, perhaps a bit understaffed. They should embrace water pitchers instead of having the poor waiters try to remember one refill."

Alive & Kicking Lobsters

★★★★☆ 4.4 (1011) • $$

"I really wanted to try a solid lobster roll while visiting Boston and Alive & Kicking Lobsters was recommended as an delicious place to stop by to fulfill that wish. I stopped by Alive and Kicking on a Wednesday around noon to check this place out.Parking seems to be mostly streetside to the restaurant, as it feels like its located just in a neighborhood as there are residential houses/apartments surrounding the location. Service is casual, you order your food at the cash register and they hand you a number, and then someone brings out your food to the corresponding tray, and you bus your own tables afterwards.As for food, the lobster sandwich was specifically recommended as the item to get while stopping by. This is a very solid lobster sandwich! As you can see in the photos, it is literally jam packed with lobster - there is no skimping, and the lobster is an inch thick from crust to crust. There isn't too much added to the lobster other than a slight bit of mayo I think, and also the bread is really plain too - which really highlights the freshness of the lobster. Each toothsome bite is satisfying, and you'll finish the sandwich before you know it. Though it is almost $40 for a sandwich, most places seem to offer an "overstuffed" lobster roll for a similar price that doesn't even have that much more lobster than the standard lobster roll. I would say for Boston, this was one of the better places that I've tried during my visit. Though the price may be hefty to some, you definitely get what you pay for! The sandwich is absolutely loaded with lobster and it tastes pretty fresh, a very solid lobster related option in comparison to the other rolls that I have tried so far in the area - I would definitely revisit if I'm in Boston and looking to splurge on a delicious lobster meal."
