Midnight Morning

Last minute dinner decision did not disappoint-Nice experience on the lovely patio. We had gem salad, trout pate, croquets and chicken sandwich-everything was delicious. Our server was engaging and friendly-food was very fresh-cool vibe even the dinnerware is cool.Nice addition to this neighborhood that appreciates great food options.

I've seen this particular location go through so many different restaurants. However, I am hoping that Midnight Morning stays! My friend and I caught up here at this cute little place. The inside actually looks like someone's upscale and eccentric living room. The exposed beams, colored pencils, books, a chessboard, and beautiful arts all around made the ambience so unique and welcoming.We ordered few drinks. I appreciated their menu because they had mocktails that were not just pure juice. We had the delicious crabcakes sliders and the sea scallops. The sliders were so good. We ordered another serving after we finished the first two. The crab cakes were hot straight out of the pan and light. We also had the refreshing sea scallops, which were a pretty good size with zucchini. This was my favorite dish because it was also gluten-free! The zucchini was very bite sized portioned and lightly roasted. The sea scallops were seasoned lightly and did not disrupt the rest of the dish. Would definitely recommend.

So glad I finally tried this spot. Nice artsy atmosphere. Very relaxed and quiet. I went for an early dinner after work on a Friday. I had the burger and my friend had the fried chicken sandwich. We were both very satisfied. The burger was cooked perfectly. Toppings to burger ratio were on point. The bun was fantastic. Fried chicken sandwich was juicy and delicious while still crispy. Both came with fries which were also delicious with just enough sail. I didn't even use my ketchup. Drinks were also good. They had Bissel Brothers on tap which is a win in my books. I tried their version on the espresso martini. It was delicious! Perfect foam on top. Strong espresso, didn't taste too boozy but there was plenty of. I will definitely be back. Excited to sit at the marble bar.

Finally got to try this newer spot in Roslindale! I can tell they're still new and trying their best to be better staffed - our waiter was so kind and attentive but so busy. It took some time for us to be seated (despite having a reservation) and for our waiter to initially come to us, but after we put our order in everything came out quickly. I'm personally very very patient with food service/industry, but I can imagine it might bother some people.Ambiance was fun - more modern, and I suppose to some people it may be "loud", but honestly it felt like any other "younger" restaurant. Food and drinks were really delicious. We got the fried wontons, goat cheese croquettes, dry rub chicken and steak frites. Everything was seasoned well. Chicken was super tender. Steak was slightly over cooked (I like medium rare), but I feel like restaurants other than steakhouses always over cook rather than under. All said, I can totally see why some people may feel the menu is limiting if they have restrictions - so I'd highly recommend looking at the menu before going if you do as I'm not sure how it can cater to vegetarian or vegan eaters. But give them grace as they're new!

Pleasantly surprised with how well they do takeout: they intentionally package components separately so they don't get all sloshed together and keep their own temperatures/texture. And even their fried items retained some crunch by the time we got home: +1 for execution overall. Though note they sadly don't do take-out drinks, so you'll need to dine-in to imbibe. Food-wise, we enjoyed our meal. The highlight was the salmon, which was tasty and cooked perfectly: meltingly tender, even after the trip home, and the bok choy/carrots and white bean hummus that came with complimented the fish well. The chicken dish was packed with flavor and also a very hearty main, and the house-cut frites and fried pickles rounded out the meal well. Good amount of food as well, nice combo of quality and quantity. The menu does have a little something for everyone on one hand (and in various capacities- big mains to small sharers), but on the other can also be a bit limited if you don't like the current version of it or if you have menu restrictions (was into the idea of the croquettes from the previous iterations, but not into the flavors from this version). Dessert menu is limited, too- brunch menu looks fun though, and their back patio is lovely. Hope they stick around and keep improving- it's a promising start.

Out of the norm, exciting food and drinks. A bit cold in the restaurant, the service was good. We loved the eclectic glassware. We look forward to coming back in the summer. The patio looked inviting! We had three appetizers, the duck pate, the dry rub, chicken wings, and fried pickles. For dinner I had steak Frites. The steak was wonderful.

I've seen this place all over Instagram and had to give it a try. First impressions are the decor is nice and it's relatively big. We made a reservation for a weekend dinner but from appearances alone we didn't have to. The hostess didn't acknowledge us for a few minutes and wasn't very warm, then seemingly sat us in an empty corner near the front. It didn't even seem like a server was assigned there so we sat for about 5 minutes. When we did eventually catch someone's eye, we got cocktails that arrived relatively fast. The mocktail I got was good and well made but probably not worth the $12 we paid (only 2-$3 less than their actual alcoholic cocktails.) food however was delicious. Wontons were yum but small portion. Steak frites is the way to go. Steak was seasoned minimally so you could really get the natural flavor with a lot of flaky salt on top. Cooked exactly medium rare as requested. My husband got the tonkatsu burger which was just okay but could have used more flavor. Cheesecake mousse was delicious. It seems like their brunch is more popular than their dinner so we'll be back given the food was delicious. Might need some work on the service front but overall we enjoyed our time here.

The restaurant has a lovely, pet friendly patio and as soon as we arrived, the server brought out a big bowl of cold water for my pup.We were there for lunch and the food we chose was excellent. The dressing on the Farro and fresh herb salad was delicious and it was very filling. The parmesan crusted baby kale melt was yummy, especially because the bread was so crunchy. We stayed for quite awhile and no one rushed us out. It was relaxed and quite comfortable.

I love it here. The wine list is incredible, fried wontons are to die for, and the breakfast sandwich... don't skip it. I love the art, the staff are kind and enthusiastic, the island seating is great for a causal bite on your own or with a friend. Both dinner and brunch are absolutely worth the trip-- did I mention the wontons and breakfast sandwich?! Just go.

Kind of a strange/ confused experience. Good food (especially the pickled veggies) but the proportions are small for the price. Service was friendly and good but very casual for a restaurant with some pretensions to upscale dining. Menus are on deep red paper with black lettering, lighting is dim and the decor is dark. Many folks were using their phones to be able to read it. The bar seemed incomplete- one of our party requested a common blended scotch- they didn't have any blended options, only single malts. Hopefully these issues are just growing pains- I really want them to succeed. We need good restaurants in Roslindale.
