Menotomy Grill & Tavern

What a lovely little tavern! My wife, daughter, and I had the perfect "welcome to Boston" dinner here this evening. The Lobster Cod chowder and New England cod cakes were especially delicious, and our almost 2 year old daughter loved her pizza. The hostess and our server Megan were both incredibly sweet to her and gave her a coloring sheet and crackers to snack on, which we really appreciated. Thanks so much for the great service and overall experience. We'll definitely be back!

I have ordered a salmon burger to go and it was way over cooked. The sweet potato fries was good. The place looked busy and somewhat noisy.

Service was good during the rush. The food came out hot and was good. Really enjoyed the steak tips which were very good. Atmosphere was ok but just your normal bar/grill restaurant.

We were staying at the hotel next door and came over to get a late dinner. The place was busy, but there is lots of seating and we were seated within a few minutes. The interior and ambiance were great, with a large bar area and huge table area. The open kitchen is always fun to watch. Our server was attentive and everything came out in good time. We had the fried pickle appetizer, the beet arugula salad, and chicken fingers with fries. All the food was really good. The pickles tasted either homemade or refrigerator pickles. The coating was maybe a little thick, but crispy. These were chips, served with a fantastic spicy remoulade. My picky daughter didn't love them, but I did. If I was hungrier and not dieting, I would have eaten them all!I loved the beet salad. Yellow and red beet chunks surrounded a fresh bed of arugula and greens with walnut sized perfectly fried goat cheese balls and macadamia nuts. It was dressed with a light balsamic vinaigrette. The dressing wasn't strong or oily and I either could have used a little more or maybe I should have used a dash of salt & pepper. The salad was great though and I really enjoyed it. The chicken fingers were 4 big pieces of crispy breast meat tenders with good fries. My daughter loved these. This is a great place in Arlington and if ever in the area again, I would definitely stop in!

Our waiter, Carson, made our dinner reunion quite special last night. Handsome, ready smile and willingness to go the extra mile, this college student home for summer took care of our table of seniors as if we were family. Thank you Carson for a fine experience.

Was looking for a nice Irish corned beef special and I struck luck finding this place. The special was delicious. The service was friendly and great. They had Irish music playing and a very nice crowd. Will definitely come back.

I have many more trips here that this my first time! Loved it! Hard to choose~ everyone Super Satisfied with their selections.Atmosphere perfect. Not High not Low. Far above averageWe'll be back!

Food was okay, service was abysmal. Was in front of my hotel while on business travel. Definitely mix of travelers and locals. Locals were heaviliy favored including one who was over served and proceeded to offend 2 of us at the bar by his crude language and obnoxious attempts at flirting with the patrons and bartenders while talking about how his motorcycle was confiscated for a DUI and registration issue but at tje end of the day it was entertaining. My issue was the service. Look I understand that the locals are return Customers but my money is also green and an expense account is like an ATM that isn't yours. Greeted promptly. Sat and given a menu and water at the bar. Took about 10 min for me to get my drink order taken and about an hour that I was able to flag someone down to finally take my order. Attempted to order French Onion Soup. While on the menu, I was told that it eas taken off the menu ages ago and no idea why it wasnt removed from the menu. I was never asked if I wanted a 2nd drink or dessert. Wouldn't return even if I stay at that hotel again.

Decided to go here before heading into Cambridge for a play. Myself and two friends. The fish & chips was atrocious. I couldn't eat it. The absolute worst Fish and Chips I'd ever been served. The batter was thick and full of oil. The fish (if that's even what it was) had no taste (maybe an oil taste) and the texture was horrid. I left the whole thing, and ate when I got home from the play. I can't believe they served this to paying customers. I've had Fish and Chips at Town Tavern and its wonderful. Should have gone there as usual. I'd advise sticking to burgers at Mentomy. I'm still mad about it, not just for the cost of the meal, but for how extremely bad it was. Inedible.

Always has been 5 star but SO disappointed when we heard there would be no more music on Thursday nights. This was what made the Grill unique. I hope the owners see that this is a mistake.
