The bread was warm and fluffy and the frosting was creamy and nicely sweetened but not overly sweet. I was a fan. The french toast was eggy and the bread was soft. The Italian sausage stole the show for me. It was sweet, fragrant, and you could taste the chunks of meat and fat. The fennel flavor was warming. I had an extra side of their sausages. The home fries were good. The steak in the steak and eggs was well seasoned. It did taste A1-y. It was cooked to medium rare as per my request. I was a fan of the steak chunks. I will return. You should give them a visit.

A great little diner on North Beacon Street right next to Kimura Jiujitsu. I came on Sunday during…read morelunch time and we were able to grab a couple seats at the bar. There are also a few booths for larger parties. They have your general breakfast diner food, sandwiches, to daily specials to choose from. I opted for one of their daily specials the wake and bake which was a sandwich filled with hash brown, bacon, and eggs with a side of home fries. I also got a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice which was super refreshing. The sandwich was amazing and I would absolutely get it again if it was on the menu. The home fries were okay, but not the best that I've had. The service was great and very efficient. Overall, a great place to catch up and grab a bite to eat.

The signage is weak. The only sign is a decal on the window. I drove past it a couple of times…read morebefore I found it. Don't blink or you will miss it. I don't know how they get any traffic with the sign they have. It was cold inside. Time to turn on the heat. The Spot has a counter in back with a few bakery items. There were eight tables in front. The walls were filled with eclectic items. They have a woman that waits on the tables, provides menu and serves. She spends all her time behind the counter rather than waiting on tables. I ordered a Sara's omelette that includes three vegetables and 3 eggs. I chose spinach, mushroom and broccoli. I had fruit cup of melon, pineapple, cantaloupe and strawberries in lieu of toast and hash browns. The omelet was very good with lots of veggies inside. The fruit cup was on the small size but it beats additional carbs. I had to wait for my bill. I think they forgot about me. I finally had to get up and ask for bill. I would have to try again before I would pass judgement.

Finally visited this cute neighborhood "Spot" with my husband…read more We were surprised when we entered, the inside looks larger and cozier than we expected. It wasn't too busy - there are 6ish tables and one server was waiting tables. She was very warm and friendly. I ordered two eggs over easy and my husband got an omelet. The food was decent, and prices are so affordable. However the potatoes were very bland and hard, and portion was small. Also they had forgotten the potatoes in my order although it comes with the meal but I mentioned it and it was corrected. We also ordered the Belgian waffle to share which definitely isn't "Belgian" style but it was good! Overall decent, I'd come again just for the cozy, warm vibe. I'm interested in trying their lunch menu next!

I was in town visiting family, and stumbled onto this really cute old fashioned railroad style…read morediner! They have a free parking lot but there is also street parking available. Cash only! Items are on the pricier side. They mainly serve breakfast and lunch items. We opted for breakfast: -- House Special Omelet $18: was meh. The omelet was ok, and came with toast of your choice, and a generous portion of home fries. I'd order something else next time. -- Corned Beef Hash Benedict $18: this was great! Very satisfying and recommended! This also came with a very generous side of home fries. -- Side of bacon $4/3 strips: we asked for extra crispy bacon and that's exactly what we got. Sooo good! -- Coffee $3: decent coffee with free refills. Great customer service. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Recommended!!

Since switching ownership, we have eaten here twice and both times left disappointed. The first time we ordered Irish eggs Benedict and the hash was not cooked correctly and had raw onions in it. WHO PUTS RAWS ONIONS IN HASH?!? The second time we had eggs, sausage and home fries and my buddy ordered the same. 5 hours later... food poisoning. Pretty sure it was the undercooked sausage. It's a bummer to see this place go downhill. It's super cute but just not worth it anymore!

For food we ordered the eggplant sando and the chicken piccata sandwich. While both tasted good, I was surprised at how much more I enjoyed the eggplant one. The eggplant was breaded well and crispy without feeling too heavy on oil. The rest of the sandwich with arugula and roasted red peppers also felt fresh. The chicken sandwich was also good with thin layers of chicken, and flavored well. However I liked the chicken where as for eggplant I felt the sandwich as a whole worked well. While busy, it still feels like enough movement of groups that you can easily find a seat. The staff is also very friendly making it a neighborhood spot I would definitely come back to.

The bacon was crispy, broccoli roasted with seasoning, a perfectly cooked over medium egg all on a brioche bun. There was also spicy goat cheese spread on the slider, however there wasn't a lot there to taste it with every bite and it certainly wasn't spicy. I would have loved more of it, because the bites that did get some were absolutely delicious in enhancing flavor with the egg. The sandwich itself is larger than expected, bigger than a typical slider which was a pleasant surprise. I also ordered an incredible Apple Cheddar biscuit on the side. It was freshly made, buttery, and had little apple chunks in it. Great experience and I highly recommend visiting if you're looking for quick and convenient breakfast, with a great quality and fair price!

The decorations are very festive. They lean into over the top. This makes it a great place for kids and adults that appreciate quirky things. The staff are very nice and friendly. The way they lean into over the top theming can make this feel more like a quirky restaurant in New York then something on moody st. I would love to see more character in Massachusetts restaurants and In a pickle is leading by example. Bad: The TVs with with America's funny home videos can be a little much. The home fries have way too much salt.

I love to stop in here when I have an appt at the salon across the street (J&L Hair Salon - great…read moreservice & cut/color!) because I prefer to support local businesses over chains.

After we ordered our drinks, we got a number and the drinks eventually arrived at our table. I have to say, I wanted more. The espresso didn't have much profile to it, and worse, the cocoa wasn't mixed in, so my first few sips were totally not sweet. After stirring it myself, I got the full experience. I've definitely had better spicy mochas, usually sold to me as Mexican hot chocolate - the seasoning shouldn't be gingerly applied; it should really be over the top. We bused our own drinkware, but points for reusable cups. On a Sunday morning, perhaps 7-8 patrons were already there, and the seating was 1/3 taken.

The black sesame latte was something I had never tried anywhere before, I got it hot and it was absolutely incredible. Such a unique flavor that worked perfectly. I also ordered their salmon breakfast sandwich, and I only have good things to say. The salmon was fresh, all of the accompaniments were perfect. I took the first seat I could find, but the tables are small, very close together and a bit wobbly. But that couldn't stop me from enjoying my meal.

It was my first time at Tatte! A few friends recommended I try it while visiting the area…read more As a first-timer, I asked what the cashier recommended, and she said most people go for the sandwiches. After some deliberation, I went for the smoked salmon, avocado and egg sandwich! I had just come off a red-eye flight and man... that thing HIT THE SPOT! It was probably the best smoked salmon sandwich I have had. The bread was so FLUFFY and soft, and the eggs were buttery, which paired really well with the avocado and the spread they used. I would highly recommend! It was the perfect size, and I was satisfied after having it. Seating was self serve, as you just take the Number placard to any table you find available. They serve you the food when it is ready. The service was pretty quick (~10-15 min), given that it was pretty busy on a Monday morning. You can grab a cup of water at their self-serve station. They also had wifi with a pretty strong connection (big plus in my book). Overall, I would go back for certain! I would like to try the whole menu if I could because everything looked so good!

There was no gossiping. Very professional. There is a wall of chocolates and snacks you can also purchase. Lots of room and tables to sit. The white fence and blue walls give it a Cape Cod feel. The avocado toast was tasty. It had a runny egg on top. I would have preferred metal utensils vs plastic ware. But there were no metal forks left. The plastic fork wasn't cutting it (get it?). Hubby got the breakfast sandwich: ham on English muffin. It didn't fill him up so he got another ham and cheese croissant. I would have preferred the cheese heated but hubby didn't mind it cold. The croissant was buttery and flaky though. Before we left we got some cold drinks from the fridge. They had some sparkling teas--Tea soda! Gonna try out the Blue Tea Jasmine.

I went with a friend for the Mother's Day buffet brunch. There were three timed seatings and we…read morewent for the one at noon. There was a bit of a backlog getting in but not a problem. The space is tight for a buffet, and we were glad to just miss being seated right next to where the diners were lining up for the buffet. They seemed to be a bit short-staffed as our server was attending to a section that included two large parties -- one of about 12 and another of 8 -- in addition to the smaller tables including ours. She came as soon as we were seated but only explained we could go up at any time and promised to bring water. We waited for her to return to take our beverage orders but finally grew impatient and got in line for the buffet. The buffet selections were scrumptious--breakfast and lunch options. The chicken and waffles seemed to be the most popular and the tray was empty when I got to it but a new batch arrived momentarily -- thank goodness! Yummy as I expected. I also had scrambled eggs and link sausages. I passed on a few other things like eggs benedict (the last in the tray which is never ideal). In hindsight the ideal time to arrive seemed to be about a half hour after your seating time, as by then the lines to the buffet were minimal (that's when I headed back for seconds). Oh and when I finally got to order my old-fashioned, it was delish. There is an attached parking garage (the red garage) and if you park at the right end of the building you just take the elevator to ground level and the restaurant is a few steps away. I'm not sure I'd return for the special celebration seatings. The price is right but the logistics, seating, slow service and lapse in keeping trays full of hot food would give me pause. On a regular day, however, no contest.

I was amazed at B&B in Back Bay, so I was eager to try it out at the Watertown location!…read moreUnfortunately, compared to its Boston counterpart, Watertown lags behind. We came here with my roommate on a Friday night and it was completely empty which was strange. Nevertheless, we ordered our usual baked brie and a side of fries start, which came out amazing as always. The problem began right before placing our order, as we informed the waitstaff that my roommate has a severe tree-nut allergy. The waitstaff took it into consideration and let us know they informed the kitchen staff. When we got our entrees, however, I noticed my roommate's salad garnish on her lamb chop was chock-full of chopped pecans! I was horrified. If I hadn't noticed, she would have had an allergic reaction. I understand that there is a risk when going out to eat, but this is completely unacceptable given we gave ample notice and the salad was not pre-made with nuts. The waitstaff seemed more terrified of us than apologetic, despite us being nice and understanding. I am going to call out an allergy hazard when I see one... They switched it for us which was good and did end up apologizing, but it kind of turned me off from the rest of the dining experience. The entrees themselves were decent, I had the famous wagyu sliders but I prefer the crispy chicken sliders here. If you have an option, I'd choose the Boston location over this one.
