Great place to go for brunch in Newton. While other restaurants have over an hour wait, this place was able to seat our large party with no wait time. The food was delicious, and the service was great. One thing to point out is all the items on the brunch menu come with either a mimosa or bloody Mary. I had a Bloody Mary and it was really good. My burger was also amazing and very large. Overall, great restaurant, great food. Will definitely be back again soon.

I pass by this place all the time and decided to bring the family here over the weekend. The establishment is nice. Not too much lighting so it was on the darker side. They have high chairs so it is suitable for small kids. The service was relatively quick. The food itself was decent, not great. My son had a burger from the kids menu and the bun was super dry and fell apart. We got a new one but they reused the previous patty. I expected they recooked the order. I went there for the flatbread pizza but it was mediocre. My wife’s chicken quesadilla was good but the guacamole was not impressive.

Great place for lunch time. Service was great, I don’t put 5 stars as I think the rice could have been better but all others loved their meal

In town for the Boston Marathon and this place was in walking distance from the Air BnB we were staying. We had a party of 6 and arrived about 6:30 on a Saturday evening. We were greeted cheerfully by the hostess and she informed us that there was probably not room for a party of six but if we waited 15 minutes, there was an unconfirmed reservation that they could bump and seat us. We opted to wait then she disappeared for a minute and came back and said they could accommodate us but it would be a tight fit. We were seated immediately and our drink orders were taken and brought out quickly. I was undecided between the Prime burger and the French Dip and asked the waiter what his recommendation was. He said the French Dip was the better of the two and I would be happy. I have to say that was the best French Dip I’ve had and one of he other people in our party got the burger and I tried a bite and the sandwich was by far the better of the two. This was a fantastic experience all the way through and I highly recommended stopping in if you are in the area.

Very nice and spacious place… Parmesan Truffle Fries – (a tiny bit salty) but super delicious! Sesame Chicken Bowl – super delicious as well and nice large portion – enough for 2 meals… and a nice cold glass of milk for me topped it all off! The ONLY ONLY ONLY minus I would say is… and I don’t know if it’s meant to be there… are the water rings on the tables.. but otherwise great place and for sure would go again!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The food was absolutely delicious! I had the Spicy Hong Kong Noodles with tofu. The noodles we’re a delicious vegetarian option though next time I think I’ll skip the tofu, it’s pretty bland. I also had their Rose cocktail and it was very refreshing. My husband had the baked haddock which he said was delicious! The food is also the perfect portion size.

Great local establishment that we just happen to find thanks to Google while driving on the interstate. Easy access from I-90. Classic American bistro, with burgers, sandwiches, seafood, and beer/wine/drinks. Awesome atmosphere! Busy even at 8pm and you can tell the locals love it. Would 100% recommend!

Delicious eats. Good atmosphere. Busy but friendly staff. If you ask for the Brussels make sure to ask for them crispy but not burned! Enjoy!

Cute, dim, intimate-like spot with limited parking. Ordered Steak tips with fries, ribs with mashed potatoes, and a drink called Melon’s Up, I believe. Drink tasted okay but was mixed well and went down smooth. Food was delicious. Steak and ribs were cooked perfectly, steak sauce was on point, fries were crispy and tasty. Nice atmosphere, good background music. Kid-friendly. Server was nice enough.
