Overall everything was solid but our favorites were what we started with: the pizza Bianca with ricotta & hot honey, and the wines we ordered. We loved everything about the pizza Bianca - the texture of the bread, and the ricotta & hot honey was so delicious we could just eat it by itself. The pepperoni & hot honey pizza was also quite good, but just not my preferred type of pizza. It is great for those looking for a slice that isn't too heavy. Flavor wise though I still really liked it. Among the pastas, the taleggio cappelleti was simply not for us. I could see some people loving it but it was just a bit too salty and rich for me. I felt like I needed more balsamic to counteract the strong flavor. The cavatelli on the other hand was more to my taste, a perfect alternative to the taleggio capellini. We finished the meal with the panna cotta that had great texture with the toppings. All in all a great meal with some favorites I already know I want to order again, and some really great service!

Very well balanced - I especially liked the stracciatella. Taleggio Capeletti (7/10): A bit too rich and too salty for my tastes. I think this dish just needed something to cut through the richness. Still really good nonetheless. Lumache (8/10): The chew on the pasta is impeccable!! The chew on those mushrooms is also insane. Texture-wise, this dish was a home run. For some reason, I kept getting hints of something resembling boar taint in the sauce flavor itself. Not sure why... I don't think there was meat? I feel like I would've given this dish a 10/10 had it not been for the hint of that flavor. Service was very friendly and fast. The restaurant is small, but the seating didn't feel too tight. Even though I gave it a 5/5, I actually don't know if I would come again. The pasta was very steeply priced for not that much food. Although the capeletti was surprisingly filling, I'd rather feel full on carbs than full on pure butter and cheese.

You know how in some restaurants you see the customers and they put salt on their food before they…read moreeven taste it? I think the chef is one of those people, because I had the muscles today and it was so salt forward. I mean it was dangerously full salt, but I was so hungry that I ate it anyway and then I told the waitress I said I should not even complain because I ate the dish however they should watch out for the salt. She said it's one of the most popular dishes and people like it that way . The restaurant decided to be gracious enough and swap that off of my order and let me get something else instead, but I was already full, so I took home a salad. Hours later, I figured it would be nice to have something refreshing after all that salt. I'm eating the salad and something crunchy and it's not the normal crunch. So I decide to like look into the lettuce and I see dirt. Especially now with everything going on around lettuce I am beyond shocked. I tried to call the restaurant granted it was dinner time but no answer so I called the sister company in another city and they said they would have the manager reach out to me which never happened . What surprised me as well as the manager from the sister location said he finds this surprising because the lettuce comes in triple washed, and they wash it themselves. All I could say to that is maybe open up the lettuce leaves and rinse them or open your eyes. So I'm putting it out there, I would like my money back, but since you can't answer the phone or own up to any responsibility, I'm leaving this message for you because I get a lot of hits on my reviews and I'm gonna tell people do not eat at this place unless your taste buds are completely dead and you just need salt and dirt survive.

The standout was the seasonal pomelo salad with the fresh citrus making a lovely dressing over perfectly cooked shrimp and greens along with the crunch of nuts. The Pad Thai was good. The fried chicken skin seemed to be battered which made it a bit heavier. The chive cake was also deep fried and dense, making it a crunchy outer and chewy texture that may be preferred by some but was not hitting home for me. I would skip the papaya salad, it was fine but didn't have the dimension of the pomelo salad. I suspect that I could have ordered better in my item selection given the very good pomelo salad. The staff is friendly and attentive, the small restaurant is cozy and comfortable. We will be back.

We've come here twice and ordered the following- First time…read morefor brunch: chicken and waffles, mushroom omelette, and a side of beignets. Overall, everything tasted great (esp the fried chicken and home fries) and the portions were massive to just right. If there were a few kinks to iron out, I'd say that the beignets weren't really airy and some of the mushroom stems in the omelette were really tough and should've been discarded before cooking. Next for dinner: their fried chicken dinner which came with Mac and cheese, collard greens/broccolini, cornbread, and the tempura hake, and a side of cornbread with pecan butter. That pecan butter was delicious, we definitely asked for more. The fried chicken dinner was also amazing, every single dish in it. The hake while crispy, didn't have enough salt. The server fixed it immediately with a side of garlic aioli and that was great. If I could make a suggestion, I would say they should swap out the celery root slaw for something that goes better with the fish. Service was excellent both times. Very friendly and accommodating, always asking if we enjoyed our meal and they were quick to make things right if we had requests. Ambiance is really nice, very warm, inviting, perfect for a sit down meal. Apart from a few kinks in their dishes (which I'm sure they can resolve), I'd give them 5 stars.

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Clean environment…read more Not too many restaurants check all the boxes. This one does. It's a bit on the newer side and while they continue to make improvements, there weren't any disappointments this evening. Sat at the bar to start waiting for friends and try a couple of their signature cocktails. I'm a huge fan of bourbon followed by tequila. There was a drink on the menu called, "Orange you Glad" that blended both. Too tempting not to give it a shot so I did. There's one shot of bourbon and a half a shot of tequila along with a quarter shot of banana liquor, banana liquor, green mango and lime.... spectacular. Four roses bourbon is the foundation making it an excellent start. There's not a huge choice of appetizers or entrées, but what they do offer is a nice variety with something you should easily find to your liking. We had two appetizers, the pickled veggies and the mussels. The pickled veggies were good, but the muscles were outstanding. Plenty of muscles to share. The sauce they were a part of was out of this world tasting. Of all the choices on the menu I actually went with the half chicken because it sounded so good. Many can make an argument that you can't screw up chicken, but few can make an argument when the chicken is outstanding. This was absolutely outstanding. Even the sides were amazingly good. If you're looking for a new restaurant and tired of the same old, same old, this one is worth your effort.

Everyone needs a favorite restaurant. It's not necessarily that it's the best by some quantifiable…read moremetric, but rather that it's the place that you find yourself coming back to, time and again. After over a decade of living in Boston, I found myself in town for the weekend and Tres Gatos was my number 1 food stop. The food is always phenomenal, with both old favorites (tortilla espagnola!) and new dishes (oyster mushrooms!). Drinks were interesting and tasty (the mushroom cocktail was so neat!), service was excellent, and the vibe is cozy, hip, and gay. Practical tips: -About a 10 min walk from Stonybrook (orange line) -Stairs to get in at the front -- it's possible there may be an accessible entrance around the back, but I'm not sure. -Parking nearby is doable, but not necessarily easy -Reservations are important, especially for larger parties on popular nights -Volume is average -- loud enough that you can't hear the table next to you (unless you're really listening!), soft enough that you can easily chat with your whole table without shouting

What an interesting little place!…read more I'd heard about this restaurant before but had never actually visited, so I was excited to finally check it out. What makes it especially unique is the setting. There's a vinyl record store next door, and the restaurant itself is housed in what appears to be an old home, with the living room and kitchen transformed into a dining space. How cool is that?! The space is quite small, intimate, and dimly lit, giving it a cozy feel. Service was great throughout our visit. The menu features a small-plates concept, which I really enjoyed because it allowed us to sample quite a few dishes. We actually tried most of the menu, and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and the overall dining experience. Now, the cocktails... unfortunately, those weren't a hit for me. I'm definitely a sweet, fruity cocktail kind of person, and even after two attempts, I couldn't find anything that really suited my taste. I would have loved to see a few sweeter options on the cocktail menu. Not everyone enjoys spirit-forward or less-sweet drinks, so a little more variety would be appreciated! Would I come back? Absolutely! The food, service, and unique atmosphere are worth another visit. Next time, though, I might skip the cocktails and venture into their wine selection instead. Overall, a charming little spot with a lot of character and a dining experience I'd happily repeat!

We arrived for our whirlwind 1 day Boston day with a few things planned. The Wig Shop was a spot I had earmarked as a maybe. On the way to Boston by train from New York, I read an article of great bars in all of America, and the Wig Shop had made their list. I showed my gal as we were in route to Boston, and we agreed that Karma was leading us there. I checked about a reservation, but ended up going over early to try and beat the walk in crowd. That worked out great, we had almost no wait. The place was full. There were alot of people enjoying the food menu, which we didn't plan on since we had dinner reservations elsewhere for later. But we got a couple of drinks. There are many types of speakeasies. The Wig Shop is one of favorite kinds, classy. The drinks were alcohol forward, with elegant presentations. It was perfect. It was nice that the universe pointed us towards this great Boston spot.

The paratha egg roll was the standout. It was surprisingly delicious and my favorite dish of the meal. Eat here if you're curious.
