Watch City Brewing Co ( 256 Moody St Waltham, MA 02453)

They Now Serve Bacon Beer..Most interesting amongst the numerous other bars which are a staple of the Moody Street nightlife, Watch City stands out amongst the rest as you won't be finding any major beers on tap here, as they brew everything themselves instead. And while some of them don't always hit the mark, most are more than decent and are varied enough to catch just about anyone's interest. From stouts and porters, to summer-style, lighter beers and even weirder ones like bacon or spearmint flavored ones. Their menu features daily specials - on Mondays, they have a fisherman's platter for $20 - Tuesdays has spaghetti and meatballs on there, and there's more specials for every day of the week, each handing out generous portions for a pretty good price. But despite all of those, the meal itself I think was pretty forgettable. There was no unique twist, something to let the food standout. While it was good, it just was what you'd find it every other typical bar which isn't always a bad thing... but... not original by any means. Over all Watch City is family-friendly and features some nights for families with kids to dine out. If you're looking for a great fun dinner-and-a-movie location, hit Watch City before a showing at the Embassy next door and you can't lose.

Charlie's Beer Garden (10 Eliot St Cambridge, MA 02238)

Most of the food on Charlie's regular menu is junk food, but it's top-shelf junk food. Their array of fried potato products is stunning, they make a high-value lobster roll, and the draft beer selection is better than average (and, more to the point when it comes to deciding where to have lunch in the Square, better than the draft beer selection at Shay's). Their beer garden may be the coolest thing that's ever happened to Harvard Square. That's a bold statement, but I'm prepared to defend it because in my lifetime almost all of the changes to the Square have sucked. So if you have time and feel like enjoying good beer stop by here and check it out!!

The Bearded Pig (445 Somerville Ave Somerville, MA 02413)

As a barbecue enthusiast, I'm always looking for places around Boston that can do barbecue right. The Bearded Pig does not disappoint. Management clearly gets what barbecue is all about--they're not pandering, or trying to get away with subpar product, even though many other restaurants do that due to the less-than-robust barbecue scene in New England. Amazingly, this place does great pulled pork--they use a good rub, the pork gets good smoke penetration, and they've got a very tasty mustard/vinegar sauce to go along with it. The creamy cole slaw was another highlight, as was the mac and cheese. I also tried the brisket, which was trimmed of enough fat to make it so you're not chowing down on a half inch of gristle, but had enough left so that it didn't dry out too much in the smoker. The Bearded Pig also makes its own banana pudding--the most fitting homemade dessert for a barbecue joint, and it also happens to be a personal favorite. Bananas, custard, NIlla wafers and whipped cream. Heck yes. If you live in the Boston area and you're looking for quality barbecue, look no further and give this place your business it's worth it!!!1

Owen O'leary's (50 Turnpike Rd Southborough, MA 01772)

It's not fancy but Owen O'Leary's is a good place to go for a beer and hang out with friends. I visit occasionally to have a drink and play some pool. The food is okay but nothing special to write home about. The waitstaff and bartenders I've encountered have always friendly and overall the place has a nice atmosphere. There is an outdoor porch area for the summer. What more could you ask for? 25 cent wings! and 99 cent pizzas!

Yoki Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar (485 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA 02139)

Yoki's SUSHI MENU features classic sashimi , royal hand rolls (IE. "Tthe Bruins Maki": "a spicy cooked salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese roll topped with salmon, tempura flakes, spicy white tuna, tobiko, scallions, sweet sauce, and spicy mayo"), and a little bit of everything in between, including a whole page of cooked sushi. Yoki also offers traditional JAPANESE STANDARDS (apps like edamame, gyoza, and deep-fried oysters). Entrees include teriyaki...all the usual suspects, hibachi steak, and boiled eel. HINT: Save room for dessert: red bean or green tea tempura FRIED ICE CREAM!

Granary Tavern (170 Milk St Boston, MA 02109)

Downstair bar scene is very cool and chill while upstairs is live and fun with the great views out to the Greenway! Really enjoyed the burger with their own specially made bacon and a egg on top! Lobster roll also excellently prepared, light on the mayo so done just right. Thats all I have to say so get yourself there..

Cast Iron Kitchen (177 Main St Maynard MA)

The food was tasty - not five stars tasty but definitely up there. I had the swordfish puttanesca because I absolutely love pasta puttanesca. (Or things with tons of salty anchovy/caper flavor it it in general. Mmmm..) The swordfish was excellent, as was the puttanesca sauce, and came with really delicious brussel sprouts on the side. It did, however, come on a large bed of so-so white rice which looked nice but could have been more flavorful, or even just a bit smaller. Service was attentive, homey, and very personal - I get the impression that the staff are all pretty invested in the restaurant and are really interested in seeing happy customers and having the place succeed. I hope it does well.

Bullfinchs (730 Boston Post Rd Sudbury MA)

The restaurant itself had a classic upscale irish pub look to it. Food was incredible and the chef prepared all courses in front of us. Very fresh crab cakes and mussels. Filet was great, Creme Brule' outstanding. The overall decor was intimate, cozy, and romantic and it was nice that they had Irish music playing in the background, not too loud but just loud enough that you could still have a conversation with someone and not be shouting to be heard. I really loved the fact that they had these encased glass windows with flames shooting out of some contrapcion, but it was very cool.

P.S. Don't be scared off by the location right on Rte. 20. The ambiance inside (and under the tent, weather permitting) makes you forget that cars are zipping by outside.

Paani Pure Indian Cuisine (621 Boston Post Rd Ma)

been looking forward to trying Paani, which finally opened this week. In short, the food was fabulous! The ingredients were fresh and the sauces surprisingly light, flavorful and complex. The Nan was delicate, served steaming right out of the oven. Malai Kofta (vegetable patties) had a fresh-veggie texture and flavor, and the Vegetable Samosas were tender with a fluffy filling. The portions were on the smaller side: 1 appetizer + 2 entrees was just enough for two people. We ate at the restaurant, which is decorated in vivid color, with an open and modern feeling. The service was gracious, but slow and very disorganized. There was a steady stream of takeout customers too, and some of them had to wait a long time. It seemed like Paani wasn't expecting as much business as they had: they'd already run out of takeout menus, only had white wine (no red), and apparently did not have enough kitchen staff on hand.

Dolphin Seafood Restaurant-12 Washington St Natick, MA

Dolphin serves fresh, delicious seafood from a large and varied menu. Its prices are somewhat below those of Legal Seafoods a few miles up the road, but the quality is equivalent, in my experience. The bar is well stocked and the selection of specialty drinks substantial. They make a good mix drinks and more. They have a lobster bake with the usual sides and a twin lobster special as well and to me lobster is lobster unless your sitting next to the ocean eating it. Their clam chowder is pretty good as well. I wouldn't drive out of my way to hit the Dolphin but if you are in town go ahead and check it out and for all you people that like cheap food make sure you get there for their happy hour!!

Mel's Commonwealth Cafe-310 Commonwealth Rd Wayland, MA

This place is great for breakfast on the weekends. They serve off their breakfast menu all day on Saturday and Sunday. So, no matter how late you sleep you can always go to Mel's and get something yummy. The food is good and I really like this place because they offer so many different breakfast options. They have the normal greasy spoon food but they also serve some healthier choices like yogurt pancakes, turkey sausage, egg white omelets. I'm getting hungry..Be careful on weekends as there is usually quite a wait if you dont happen to get there before noon. Large parties (more than 4-5) can be difficult to seat as most of the seating are diner booths, but they do have an area that can accommodate.

Bistro 20-120 Boston Post Rd Sudbury, MA

Had a okay experience the few times I've been here! I sat at the bar each time and was impressed the bartenders and drinks! I got one of my favorite Italian dishes, Shrimp fra Diavolo. The menu had Lobster fra Diavolo listed, but I was not to sure about lobster there, so I got shrimp, and it was quite tasty. Could have been a bit spicier, and I noticed that the marinara was separating a bit. There was a layer of oil at the bottom of my plate by the time I finished. Marinara doesn't need that much oil however There was a lot of shrimp, and I really enjoyed my meal. I'll definitely be back. I hear the pizza is great

Hoy Hing-525 Washington St Brighton, MA

This place satisfied every chinese food craving I ever had while living in Brighton...and for $25 total! Sesame chicken, chicken and broccoli, crab rangoons (i could see ACTUAL crab pieces!), spare ribs, pork fried rice, and egg drop soup...not one single item we ordered disappointed. Yum, yum and more yum. All delivered in under 30 mins by the happiest delivery man of all time. Doesn't get much better than that.

Fast Eddie's-1696 Commonwealth Ave Brighton, MA

This spot is legit. What more do you want in a corner pizza shop? They do all the staples right (pizza, subs, etc) and they also have a good Greek menu. The service is great, they'll make pretty much anything to order, and once you come in once they'll always remember you. Three words: Buffalo Chicken Sub. Mmmmm. Despite the fact that their pizzas are alright (even though they are supposedly the Pizza King, hmm), their Buffalo Chicken Sub keeps me coming back like a love sick teenager!!

Pic A Pasta-600A Washington St Brighton, MA

Another place I really miss since I moved out of Oak Square. Love the "create your own pasta" menu, and I actually think the portions are really generous. I remember being able to order a large, eat until I was full, and save the rest to bring to work for lunch the next day, pretty awesome. I almost always ordered fettuccine alfredo with a bunch of things mixed in, but I also tried the lasagna and the meat lover's special (pasta with bolognese sauce and pepperoni) a few times. Their breakfast burritos are good as well.
My only complaint about this place is that it seems like the food takes a really long time to make. When I lived nearby I stopped ordering delivery because it took so long, and even when I started picking it up I had to wait a long time for it to be ready. Still the food is great, and the prices are definitely reasonable, so if you can wait 20-30 minutes, definitely give this place a try.

The Wok-180 Worcester Street, Wellesley, MA

I am a huge fan of the Wok. They are what I consider the best Chinese in the area, and I am still searching for a better one. Their Hot and Sour soup is great, although sometimes it needs an extra shot of vinegar and tabasco. I recommend their Crispy Spicy Chicken, Kung Pao, Angel Hair Rice noodles, lo mein, Hot and Sour soup, Hunan Chicken/Shrimp/Beef. All their chicken dishes use white meat and rarely do you get fatty pieces like at most Chinese places. They seem to use much higher quality meats and vegetables and everything tastes fresh. Great Combo plates that you can get for lunch and dinner. Definitely the best in the area. No matter what you order for takeout, its always "10 Minutes..Bye Bye" -Music to my ears!! Gets busy on friday nights!

Milestone of Wellesley-13 Central St Wellesley MA

Nice ambiance and reasonably priced for tapas, other light fare and some sophisticated Greek-inspired dishes. The avgolemono was delicious; the arugula salad could have been better as could the crispy (and bland) tilapia. The broccoli rabe sauteed with garlic and olive oil was beyond reproach. Decent wine list and full bar. Great and attentive service, but it only got 3 stars because of the spotty food.

Wild Willy's Burgers-46 Arsenal St (Watertown, MA)

There is a counter area where you can sit on a saddle and their booths are roomy and good for spreading out to attack your burger and the staff manages to keep the dining room squeaky clean even if your face doesn't stay that way.Their prices are a little on the steep side but the burgers are delicious.The Chicken sandwiches are great as well. Get the Onion rings instead of the fries. There are many places where the patty is good but the bun is either too sweet or mammoths the burger. Here the buns are soft, sized right, lightly buttered and lightly grilled and complement the patty and the fixin's. When you take a bite your teeth sink into the bread without being overbearing and right into the meat...the timing is perfect. The first time you take a bite, you end up taking another bite just to remind you that this is the real deal!!

Lotus Blossom-394 Boston Post Rd Sudbury, MA

General Gau chicken was delicious - not overcooked to a crisp, not overpowered by ginger, and served with great fresh steamed broccoli. Hot and sour soup was above average, as was the fried rice, which contained more vegetables than just the usual peas and carrots..They also have a very good lunch buffet. There are only a few things in the buffet (6 or 8 I think), but what they lack in quantity they make up for in quality. They also offer sushi on the buffet, but the sushi is only OK, almost like it is an after thought

Wasabi-1245 Worcester St Natick MA (Natick Collection)

The sushi was tasty, and priced within my expectations. I ate a filling dinner for about $15. It was my first time seeing conveyor belt sushi, so that was a fun little novelty.The service is good and despite the pacing back and forth and sometimes awkward seating, this really isn't a bad place. It's good to go for a nice snack where fried food isn't cutting the mustard

Cheeseboy Grilled Cheese To Go-1245 Worcester St Natick MA

Was it good? Of course, it was grilled cheese with bacon. It's hard to mess up. I have no idea how they did it but, somehow my CheeseBoy tasted almost exactly like my dad's grilled cheese. It was buttery, gooey and on perfectly toasted fresh Italian bread. I recommend getting a cup of classic tomato soup to dip your grilled cheese into, the combination is amazing and so satisfying on a cold day. Also, it should be said that for $5, you can have a delicious sandwich/soup combo which is far less than most places in the food court!

Kelly's Roast Beef-2 Under Price Way Natick MA

Come on who doesn't love a Kelly's Roast Beef? Extra rare, with fresh horseradish (not that creamy sauce garbage either) on that toasted buttered kaiser roll. Oddly enough that is not the reason why I go here..I'm a fan of fried seafood, thus, I'm there either for the fried clams or the fried butterfly shrimp. The clams can sometimes taste a little weird too much of that taste-of-the-sea if you know what i mean* when it's not in season. The butterfly shrimp is my fav tho. Yes, it may look like what you can get at the frozen food isle @ the market, but they make it iso damn good here...nice n crispy, none of that beer batter.

Xinh Xinh-7 Beach St Boston Ma

Xinh Xinh doesn't look like much - twelve small tables and cheap decor crammed into a Chinatown hole in the wall. It looks like exactly what it is - hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant in Boston. Now on the FOOD..The vietnamese fresh spring rolls is fresh but nothin special. A rice paper wrap is filled with rice noodles, veggies and boiled shrimp. It comes with a mediocre peanut sauce. The grilled chicken bun is AMAZING if you are looking for something cool, refreshing, light and a tad fishy (fish sauce is involved). A large bowl is filled with raw bean sprouts, shredded lettuce, and pickled carrots. A freshly boiled and strained serving of rice noodles is plopped on top, and last but not least, an INCREDIBLY grilled tender piece of chicken (thigh) is cooked to perfection so the edges are crispy and placed on top. On the side is a bowl of fish sauce based sauce for dipping. Personally, i LOVE this dish.

Neptune Oyster-63 Salem St Boston Ma

I honestly would've given this place 5 stars but since the place is so small there's always a really long wait. The food here is AWESOME! They have their own house made clam chowder. It isn't as thick as regular clam chowders. It's more soupy but it's still very good. You can see and taste the clams which has to obviously be the main ingredient (instead of potatoes). LARGE chunks of lobster...that's the way I like my lobster rolls and that's the way they do it at Neptune! I tried the hot and cold lobster roll and I think the winner is the hot lobster roll. The saltiness of the butter I think balanced well with the sweetness of the lobster. The cold lobster roll just seemed overly sweet to me from the mayo. The fries that come with the lobster roll were nothing to write home about....potato drenched in oil and soggy. But obviously I didn't come for fries...

Zo-3 Center Plz Boston Ma

ZO IS ONLY OPEN M-F for LUNCH. THEY CLOSE AT 3 BUT THEY MIGHT RUN OUT OF THE ORIGINAL GYRO BEFORE THEN, so come EARLY! This is easily the best Gyro I have ever eaten. The lamb was chopped instead of the thick slices I'm used to in gyros, which is a nice change. The lamb was well seasoned and not overcooked. The tomatoes and onions tasted fresh cut. The yogurt sauce was really good and tasted fresh. I tried to eat this thing while walking and that was a mistake because the

pita is jammed with ingredients.

Tastee Jamaican Restaurant-522 River St Mattapan, MA

I love Carribbean food and was so excited to visit this place! I have heard great things about this restaurant and finally had the chance to try it out!
I ordered the oxtail w/ rice & veggies, amazing dish! I have always been a fan of oxtails! I was satisfied with the taste of this entire meal and so was my stomache! I had to try the beef pattie! Which was also great and what I expected. Ful of flavor and spice, the outside nice an crunchy. The only negative comment I have about the food was that it did not arrive to my table as hot as I would have expected so on a scale of 1-10 I give the food an 8. Finally the jerk chicken. . .which arguably is the best dish that they have--at least its spicy--but its overkill- you can feel your nostils start to burn before you even open the container. But this is the dish that bumped this place from one to two stars its the closest to good jamaican that they have

Teranga-1746 Washington St Boston Ma

Got home from one of the most delicious meals I have eaten in a long time. I had been here once before and enjoyed it, but tonight's experience was even more excellent. I think this is due to the fact that I tried a variety of menu items, and they were all delicious. We started by ordering a bottle of Pinotage, which was excellent. Next came the complimentary bread with an extraordinary dipping sauce. My friend and I shared the Accara as an appetizer. It was fried perfectly, not greasy at all, and came with a delicious sauce. For my dinner, I ordered the Salade Ordinaire, which was nothing but ordinary, and the vegetarian nems, which were amazing; I can't even describe how delicious they were! To end our wonderful dinner, I enjoyed the mango tart tatin, while my friend tried the Beignets Dougoup. While my dessert was quite enjoyable, I had a bit of food envy - the Beignets were delicious! My only regret is that I did not realize until I got home that I could have actually ordered a vegetarian entree - apparently the vegetarian entrees are on a separate menu.

The Wapo Taco(Roslindale, MA)

Got a craving for a cheap, sorta greasy, hard shell taco and you don't live anywhere near a Taco Bell or otherwise anything even related to a Mexican restaurant? No problem if you happen to be in Roslindale, check out the Wapo Taco. You get what you pay for, and that ain't a bad thing. Cheap Mexican style fare is just that, cheap food for the people. But that also means that you can stuff yourself on good old fashioned tacos. The steak tacos, burritos, and wraps are consisantly good. The food is very fresh and the salsas are full of flavor. The hot can be hot and they can accommodate special needs or mixes.

Little India(Waltham MA)

If you always order Curry or Tanduri when you dine out for Indian food, break out of the rut and try Biryani. Now I don't know how you pronounce it, but I'll tell you that you can't go wrong with saffron rice, raisins & cashews, coconut garnish and plentiful shrimp (or chicken, lamb or veggies). The curry dishes were outstanding and the appetizers were perfectly fried and tasty. The tikona-think samosa with ground lamb re-heated nicely the next day. Naan is always good and was totally fresh. Take a walk on the spicy side and try the gobi paratha. Between the prices and the amazing food I will be back.

The Linden Store(Wellesley MA)

I have eaten sandwiches all around , and still, nothing comes close to a Linden sub. They use fresh, soft bread, slice the meats to order and are still lightning fast, even when there is a line out the door. They are also family owned and operated, clean, consistent, friendly and supporters of the community. Highlights include: Hot Italian, Greg's Arugala Special, Linden Special, Turkey Bacon Swiss, Isabella and the BEST SUB THE THANKSGIVING

La Campania(Waltham MA)

For Starters ordered Warm Eggplant Terrine,Layered with Fresh Mozzarella "Affumicato", Torn Basil, Plum Tomato Ragout which was just awesome .I liked the way it was presented. Also ordered Spicy Rock Shrimp White Wine, Cherry Tomato, Chile Flakes.For my main course decided on having Hand-Cut Potato Gnocchi "Trifolati"Wild Mushrooms, White Truffle Oil which was just amazing.The meal was AMAZING. La Campania is a very authentic looking Italian restaurant. The ambiance was relaxing we had this small candle light on our table which was so beautiful .Interior lighting was flattering, the walls were brick, the rooms furnished with farm tables; vases of tulips were scattered throughout the dining rooms

Ye Olde Cottage Restaurant(Weston MA)

Still has wooden booths, counter stools, jukeboxes and advertisements on the wall from about half a century ago. As for food...today it has a friendly counter/waitstaff, ambiance from a less rushed time and pretty standard fare that'll stick by you all day. Pretty basic. I got scrambled eggs and french toast with sausage and didn't feel like eating for the rest of the day and lets be real that never happens!!

Tennessee's Barbecue( Framingham MA)

Slow cooked bbq was never served faster. Juicy pulled pork and ribs, beans and corn, rounded out with dirty rice ... still licking my fingers. Yummy. For now the tastiest BBQ I have sampled in NE. Red Bones is tasteless in comparison. You got your BBQ: pulled pork and pulled chicken platters, burritos stuffed with dirty rice, meat and cheese, smoky bbq wings, even salad! You got your sides: potato salad, corn on the cob, mac & cheese, dirty rice cucumber salad, and a half a dozen other options that are impossible to remember. Best of alll you got a sink to wash off the mess after your done eating!!

The Hen House Wings 'n Waffles (Boston)

love this concept-- pick a waffle type (buttermilk or cornbread-- who knew??), a syrup flavor, a style of chicken, and some sides. Add as much freakin' hot sauce as you want from the variety of ten or so pumps at their condiment stand. Everything was tasty and the price was definitely good, considering that this trend has finally expanded from the South and all the foodies are jumping on the soul food bandwagon. Check this place out for your southern food/chicken & waffle cravings. as an added bonus, it's open late night on the weekends to satisfy your after-getting-drunk-cravings

Zenna Noodle Bar (Brookline)

I have to say, I was super super impressed about the attention to detail at Zenna. All the dishes, apps, sides, and entrees were done with meticulous care to the preparation and presentation, and you could definitely tell. For my appetizer I had the vietnamese fresh roll with avocado. I would usually go with tofu, but as it was a special and I love avocado, I thought I would try it. If I were to go again (will) I think i'll stick with the tofu, the app was great, but pairing avocado with the peanut sauce was a little bit odd. For my entree I had the Zenna rendition of vegetarian Pho, which was really nice, light, not oily at all. many steps up from the hole-in-the-wall's- lots of fresh flowers for decoration, sleek and modern decor. Service was good- friendly, quick Great location in Coolidge Corner.

Sunset Grill And Tap (Brighton MA)

I probably don't need to tell you Sunset has a huge amt of beers on tap. They do. Everytime I go I stare at the beer menu for slightly too long trying to remember what I have tried and liked and what I have yet to try that I might like. Food is tasty, though I feel like I'm gaining 20 pounds with every bite... but it's a guilty pleasure, and it tastes pretty good. The nachos are piled sky high, the fries are tasty, and the sandwiches are plentiful.

Yama Japanese Restaurant (Wellesley MA)

Having grown up in Wellesley, I must say I am a bit partial to YAMA although the sushi is amazing. I love all the maki here especially the fire dragon roll, spider roll and all of the special rolls are unreal! This place beats any over priced and over hyped sushi place closer to Boston. Go here now! Sit in the back where you take your shoes off, relax, take in the music and BYOB and Wine!

Pepperoncini's (Framingham MA)

The menu is well rounded and pretty cheap. You cant beat the 6.99 cheese pizzas on sun and tues (Best Pizza Ever). And the 35 cent wings during all our local major sporting events, Sox, B's, Pats, C's. If you like you can get 2 dollar PBR's while you play pool or listen to live music. Its a great place to pop in for 1 or 100 cold beers. Check it out, but save a seat at the bar for me.

La Carreta

Love is spelled LA CARRETA. Seriously, how else can I describe the most delicious authentic Mexican food!?! The margaritas are simple and tasty. The food was fresh. For entrees, I had the Carnitas and the #8 combo. The #8 combo had enchillada, tamale and rice and beans. I think those combos are such a great idea - a little of everything. The carnitas was great too. The portion of pork on the carnitas was very very generous. The pork was so juicy. Overall, the food was very very good. I'm going with 4 stars since the food was so good -- they still need to work the kinks out though

Shanghai Tokyo (Natick MA)

I love this restaurant! Great Chinese and Japanese food. Excellent sushi! The service is good. I go in about once every few months and the waitress remembers my order exactly! It is small, and intimate. Simple decor. Love the pan fried Peking ravioli and the Tempura Maki sushi!! All of the chicken dishes are great!!! And good luck trying to find a better crab rangoon ANYWHERE. And I mean anywhere

Maugus Restaurant

This is MUCH more of a breakfast place than anything else. I think people get their snoot noses on when they go anywhere in Wellesley, because they think Wellesley is itself so snooty. But transport this place to Watertown and people would be raving about it. It's diner food and it's good diner food. The BEST pancakes, hands-down. Want a killer club sandwich? This is the place. Also, the best authentic, homemade Greek food I've had. The menu is full of hidden gems. Don't miss the lamb, or avgolemono...amazing!

Comella's (Wellesley)

This place is incredibly fast and consistent. I call in my order as I pull out of my driveway and a few minutes later when I get there, it is set and piping hot. I come here when I have a craving for something heavy and don't have the time to cook. They no longer have the cross-shaped thick pastas and pizza that they used to have a decade ago, but they still have Messes. The sauce is rich and flavorful without overtaking the rest of the dish. The quantity of food, particularly the mozzarella that a mess is completely fills my appetite. I'm not exactly sure, but the helpings seem just slightly larger when eating in than when taking out. The sausages are particularly good with a bit of a kick. This is why I am okay saying I am from Wellesley because of you Comella's

Lee's Burger Place (Newton MA)

I've sampled several different things from their menu, but I always come back to their amazing burgers and delicious fries. Not to say that anything else I've had has been anything less than good. Their grilled chicken sandwich is especially tasty and their onion rings are some of the best I've had: light and crunchy and not too heavy.

Lee's is able to produce among the best burgers and best fries within the Boston area, even compared to gourmet restaurant burgers, at a price that is exceedingly reasonable.

Captain Marden's Seafoods

Captain Marden's is by far the best fried New England seafood ever. I've been going here for years and every newbie I take is a believer. great little hidden gem in Wellesley, only people that live near by really know the place. I always recommend this place as my favorite seafood restaurant. A nice small, clean place with nautical decorations. I can't think of anything wrong with the place, just have a little patience when there is a wait for a table. I usually just kill time in the seafood market that is connected. The chowder is really good, but the best appetizer is the grilled garlic shrimp. This cannot be duplicated. Or order 2 items instead of one if you want a nice combo platter (I always get the clam strips and haddock platter with double fries.

The Coach Grill (Wayland MA)

Dress-up bring your wallet or G-ma's purse and be ready for crisp old school quality foods and atmosphere and service. The Coach Grill has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants. It took me the longest time to try it out because I had in my mind that it was a old suburban steak house with old and non fun diners. I am so glad to be wrong! I love the Coach Grill's homey, casual feel with the fireplaces and the large booths and dark wood. Their menu is standard steak house fare: soups and salads and appetizers, a selection of good quality steaks, poultry and seafood entrees and delicious sides. They always have great salad specials (my favorite is the cinnamon apple, candied pecan and baked brie) and their Ahi Tuna is the best quality that I've ever had.. Head there and see for yourself

Spice & Pepper

At Spice & Pepper in Wayland,

I got the duck, which was very flavorful and cooked just right. The crystal noodle dish was also very good. The menu is large and prices appropriately reasonable. Service was prompt and friendly, the food arrived quickly.Very small place but worth the wait!!

Taberna De Haro

Taberna De Haro,Brookline,
A great wine and tapas restaurant! I'll definitely go back again.
It's a great opportunity to try some spanish wines that you probably have not tried before. Ordered rabbit, frog, oxtail, cheese assortment, chorizo for the meal and the food was excellent. This is the place for you if you like to go a little more upscale and willing to spend the money.

FuGaKyu

FuGaKyu, 1280 Beacon St Brookline,
I've probably eaten here a dozen or so times, and never had a bad piece of nigiri or maki. I can't say I'm very into the 2nd page of maki rolls, full of stuff like mango and sweet potato that I just don't care to try. Fugakyu can be expensive, but their rolls aren't that much more than the average - standards like Alaskan (salmon/avocado) are in the $7 range, and fancy rolls are $10-$15. Every place has Rainbow maki, but Fugakyu's is one of the best. At many places it's just a California roll with fish on top, but theirs is crab stick, shrimp and tobiko inside with fish on top. The decor falls somewhere between elegance and kitsch. First, it's huge, there's two floors and like 12 rooms and I get lost going to the bathroom. They've got a koi pond in the entryway and waitresses in goofy kimonos. Samurai movies play on the large screen upstairs. A big plus is it's open til 1.

Himalayan Bistro

The food is spiced right and just creative and delicious! It may not look like much on the outside, but the place is quite large on the inside and has a very large menu of very creative dishes. Despite what other reviewers say about this place, I have tried my share of Indian food in the metro area and not many compares to this place.

Chinese Mirch

Chinese Mirch 140 Worcester Rd, Framingham, MA, 01702
Chinese Mirch serves food that blends the cuisine of Chinese emigres with Indian spices and herbs. At the Framingham restaurant, which opened in November, the owners transformed a former mattress store along a busy stretch of Route 9 into a gleaming red and black dining room. Each meal begins with the arrival of a plate of three condiments, including green chili slices in vinegar. The dishes that are true fusion are better than the more traditional Chinese dishes such as sweet and sour chicken with pineapple, which is mostly just sweet. The restaurant serves no beef or pork, in keeping with Hindu and Muslim practices. A weekday lunch special — appetizer, entree, and dessert for ends with a sweet little mango shooter, layers of mango mousse, sponge cake, and whipped cream in a shot glass. It’s neither Chinese nor Indian,
