Honestly, it's been a while since I delighted in a well-crafted, fruit-forward sour with just the right amount of sweet and effervescence. Thank you!

Looking forward to checking out the new digs in Ashland when it opens.

My friend and I stopped by for dinner after she traveled hours to get here to visit. It wasn't…read moreworth the stop. We shared some street corn and the chips were over cooked and greasy. I had a Cesar salad that had chunks of the ends of the lettuce - annoying. And whatever seasoning that was on the chicken didn't go with the vibe of the salad and was dry as a bone. My friend ordered seared scallops which came thrown on top of a cartoon like pile of fries. She didn't have time to complain because the waitress was out to ask us how it was before we had a bite (the runner brought the food). When she finally came back to ask if we needed boxes - my friend explained the issues with the inedible scallops. The waitress said the owner was there and would come talk to us. The owner didn't come out, a manager never came, and the waitress dropped the bill off and walked away. She came back with the machine to run cards - no apology, no please come back another time ... nothing. I am from Maynard and was embarrassed that this is what happened.

True West never disappoints! We have been going here somewhat regularly for the last decade or so,…read moreand it has always been great! We always get pretzel bites as our appetizer, and are in my opinion one of the best products they make! They are always seasoned so perfectly, and are exactly as crunchy on the outside, and as soft on the inside as pretzel bites should be, and the mustard brings it all together with that kick! The burgers are pretty average most of the time, but their sides are always tend to be great. The sweet potato fries are salted very well, and their flavor is just as good. Their onion rings are also very crispy. That said, the overall experience has declined slightly. The burgers are normally slightly overcooked, and their buns aren't great. It is also worth noting that this is where WiFi signals go to die. The staff and atmosphere are also amazing. Overall, worth a trip if you are in town.

Relaxed, comfy space that's the antithesis of more corporate-feeling outfits with the same target audience. Parking can be tough at times, but there are free spaces on the street and in the lot to its right that also includes underground spaces. -- Buffalo Wings: Offered in 1- and 2-pound portions, with a steep price for the 1-pound and a steep drop in per-pound price for the 2-pound. My small order had 8 pieces with a very thin coating of Buffalo-ish sauce-- not as spicy or as vinegary, but reasonably piquant and tangy. Not much crisp, but extremely plump and juicy chicken meat underneath. So a mixed bag of flavor and texture, but overall, good. -- True West Burger: Sort of a thick burger, sort of a brioche bun (closer to a better, fresher McDonald's), with vegetation significant part of it. Choice of cheese. Cooked to my requested medium rare, yielding juices. Overall, good burger for its class, though for $22, maybe it should be compared with classier ones. -- Fries (included with the burger): Frozen, somewhat artificial tasting, and a coating of some sort that held in the heavy dose of salt (like pretzel sticks), as if salted even before frying. -- Beers: Plenty of styles and plenty within each style to choose from. I really enjoyed my peachy Pit and Peel New England IPA and liked the Ruckus as well. Service was outstanding. My server Mariana was outgoing, very familiar with both the food and drink offerings, and checked back often. This was probably the determining factor for this tossup between 3 and 4 stars getting nudged to the 4. If it were an option, more of a 3.5. And if you're similarly torn, having some of the best ice cream in the state a few doors down afterward at Westside Creamery might tip the scale for you (literally and figuratively).

Our server was incredibly kind, attentive, and quick! They have a good selection of drinks from alcoholic drinks to mocktails to sodas. The best? The food of course! Everything was amazing. We were happy with all 3. We both devoured the chicken al limone, seriously so good. A delicious lemon sauce with capers and sun dried tomatoes. Yum! The Caesar salad was great. Price is worth it for a scratch kitchen! Highly recommend trying

We got the veggie risotto and the summer grain bowl. We did not get to try any drinks. I wish the risotto was better and it was actually risotto. It was more like cheesy rice with a few starchy vegetables in it. The summer grain bowl was heavy on the arugula and quinoa, and somewhat stingy on the additives (grapes, strawberries and almonds). The staff had a hard time figuring how to take my payment, though were very nice and apologetic about it. No napkins or eating utensils were included in our take out bag. Perhaps if we came in the late afternoon, we would have had a better experience. I really wanted to like them. We would be open to another opportunity to try it.

I was disappointed with the overly floral cocktail selection, so I had a Mayflower porter which was good. There were no dinner specials on a Saturday evening, and I found the menu entrees limited. The mahi mahi dish was well crafted, but the fish itself was quite thin and slightly overcooked. I'm used to better. My mom had a gin & tonic, the beet salad and a croquette app, all of which she enjoyed. She would give 4 or 5 stars, but she's not on Yelp!

Even though we were first on the waitlist when we arrived, we still ended up waiting another 20 minutes while several parties who arrived after us were seated before us. There were three girls working the front desk. They were pleasant, but they seemed pretty confused and unsure of how the waitlist was supposed to work, which didn't make the wait any easier. Our waitress was very friendly, and the service at the table was good. The food itself was fine, but nothing really stood out. The children's juice box being $4 definitely caught my attention. It felt a bit steep for what it was. Overall, it was a pretty average experience. We decided to skip dessert and went across the street instead. I wouldn't rush back, but it wasn't terrible. Just not particularly memorable.

This store has a well-curated selection of hard to find items ... lots of $12 ice cream and $5…read morebottles of soda ... which appease the Concord-ites in their $2 million houses. You can find things here that you can't find anywhere else. The best ice cream in the world is Mitchell's ice cream in Santa Barbara, CA. I have never seen this for sale outside of Southern CA ... much less in Massachusetts. I don't even mind paying $10/pint. Do yourself a favor and try it. (Just leave some for me!) The Chip Shop Curry sauce in the Irish/British section is also a fantastic item. You'll never think of Ketchup with french fries again once trying this cardboard tube of dehydrated crystals. And their selection of beers and wines at about 20% markup are pricey, but good. Bananas Foster Milkshake IPA, Blueberry Muffin Porter and obscure French and Italian wines? I'm in. I am not necessarily going to complain about the absolutely insane prices. This sure isn't Market Basket. Shit, even Wholefoods rolls their eyes behind this store's back when they see a half a tuna fish sandwich for $14 or a $6 single wrapped non-descript oatmeal cookie. You know what you are getting into when you pass through town and see the perfectly landscaped 1700's giant houses with their 'activist' signs in the front yard, that look like they came out of a Pottery Barn catalog. You know ... Stop Global Warming ... yet consume ice cream that traveled 4,000 miles across the country in a refrigerated truck. What I don't love is the pre-made foods ... from the sandwiches to the baked goods to the entrees aren't that good. How can one go wrong with a $12 'authentic' Jamaican jerk pasty? When it is bland, tasteless and contains two small scraps of meat, that's how. In a moment of weakness, I splurged on a $8 piece of pie that tasted of little more than shortening and cardboard. Overall, it's clean ... it's immaculate ... and it's well curated for the well off. It's 20-something year old workers, who clearly would rather be at Dartmouth gathered around an ice luge made with Fiji Water, will one day be able afford the trappings of $40/lb. Stilton cheese and $12 per ounce pimento cheese spread. But in the meantime, they aren't that helpful or interested in customers. Who can blame them? Hedge funds and derivatives are so much more interesting than Naples tomato sauce and organic laundry detergent. Would I come back? Yes ... for the 5 or 6 really cool things I can't find anywhere else and cannot live without. A raging coke habit would be less expensive than doing one's regular grocery shopping here. But ... you never know what oddiments you'll find. Just keep in mind that a $20/lb. cold cut really is just a cold cut here and many of the crazy expensive deli, bakery or cheese items here aren't that amazing despite 70% of the world needing to take out a mortgage to buy a roast beef and asagio cheese sandwich on sourdough here.
