    Sunday sauce with meatball, sausage, (one other meat I have forgotten)
    Thomas R.

    Another Review from a poor man. This was a place I wanted to try for a long while. Finally went for my birthday. The food was good and the service was excellent. My only two gripes are that it is a bit pricier than I would have liked to have spent and the chicken parm was average, to me, for the money spent. Everyone else's dish was fantastic!

    Parpadelle carbonara

    Great service and attention on customers I ask for a special dish off the menu and they made it right away great place to feel comfortable and have a lovely dinner with the family

    Had a wonderful dining experience and can't wait for my rehearsal dinner here! Stopped in the other day with my mom to try the food out. Was very pleased with the service and the food. The owner was a delight to speak to and his staff was very kind and attentive. They were able to make accommodation for me (dairy free) and provided recommendations. The table came with bread and a spread. It was fantastic! We ordered pappardelle bolognese - wow so good! The pasta tasted so fresh! You can tell it was house made. We also ordered a sandwich to split. We packed half of it up, as we were so full. The portions are huge. Very happy with this place and very excited for my rehearsal dinner in November, but I'll be back sooner for sure. My mother in law wants to try it with how highly we spoke about it!

    I felt the service and straightforward food I got at my first visit did not really hold up on a subsequent visit. My guest and I went in on a Thursday evening, and I gloriously basked in the live music and lively atmosphere. Although we were seated right away, we felt basically ignored after our drink orders arrived. It took our waiter multiple passes around the dining room to finally stop and take our order. A couple seated after us got their food before we did, and a different waiter stopped at our table with another table's entrees, which was frustrating since the food already was taking too long. As for the food itself, at least the portions remain generous. But the orecchiette was really just okay - not only undersalted, but plain. The lasagna I can recommend, on the other hand - the blend of cheeses comes across deliciously - and the bolognese sauce was meaty, although it was also starting to separate. Prices were in $20-30 range for each entree, which feels high vs. the sophistication of the food, but okay when considering that you'll have leftovers.

    Steak with blue cheese.. was very tender and blue cheese gave it a good bite

    This was our first time here and had an excellent dining experience! We went on a Wed night it was not too crowded. We were seated quickly. We all enjoyed our meals. It was delicious! The tiramisu was the best I ever had! The ambience was very nice. There was someone playing guitar so we got to hear some music. I definitely recommend going here.

    Pork tenderloin

    What a nice surprise! Easy 5 star experience. Amazing service, vibe, food, music. Traveling for work can sometimes be difficult with finding a great place but, yelp never lets me down. I have literally no complaints and that is, rare. 5:30pm, seated immediately, drink orders taken immediately. A team of servers were all working together and you could tell they were well staffed. We were checked on constantly. Filling waters, drinks, very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu. They also had live music and it was very nice, not very loud, made for a great ambiance. The table was already set with bread and marinated tomatoes when we arrived. This was such a unique treat. It's become rare that restaurants even offer bread or a complimentary snack of sorts, and theirs is very good! The bread was soft and satisfying, leaving the star of the show to the delicious and perfectly marinated tomatoes. Olive oil, balsamic, salt, pepper and herbs. Simple. Light. Refreshing. I was stuck between the Veal francese or the Marsala. One of the kind servers suggested the Francese and I'm glad he did! It was a wonderful dish. The sauce was perfectly seasoned and flavorful of wine and lemon, pasta was al dente, and the veal was so tender and perfectly prepared. The server gave us a heavy spoon full of some nice parm and a crack of fresh pepper. My colleague went for the pork tenderloin special over risotto. He said it was very good, and it looked great. The pork was fork tender. Would recommend, would return. The service really made the visit! We were in and out in about an hour, left perfectly full with leftover, price was reasonable for the quality served and it was all very good!

I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week.

Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. The staff were busy but still polite and attentive.

You do get a free cigar (which is actually a pretty nice, brand name stick in most cases) with your meal, which I am sure goes with the cost. Before the world went utterly insane with inflation ... It used to be one of the best deals ever. The food was $12.95 plus the free cigar! Now, it's more like $23 per sandwich. Owch. The best value was the cheese plate, which at $15 was huge and included fruit. Now, that cheese platter is actually smaller than it used to be and costs $44! The decor is pretty cool ... dark and moody ... but there are a couple TVs with sports playing and high ceilings. The air purification makes it smell a lot less like cigar smoke than it used to ... but know that whatever clothes you wear here will likely need a dry cleaning after. The waitresses have been here forever ... and there are a lot of regulars. Imagine what a guy would look like that would want to smoke a cigar while eating and that's exactly what you will find here as a customer. Fake Sopramos accent ... beefy ... loud ... gold chain ... It's a 'bro crowd' for sure with some flashy investment banker types mixed in. Lots of Hummers and G-Wagons in the parking lot. I would recommend this place to anyone who loves cigars. The food is edible and in some cases even good. But nothing amazing. I've had the corned beef sandwich ... don't expect NYC deli quality ... the flatbread (Trader Joe's is just as good) ... and the Cuban sandwich. All okay. The Cuban left me hungry. You can also eat at the bar and peruse their extensive whiskey and beer menu. The drinks are pricey, so a sandwich, a beer ... and I guess you could count the free cigar ... come to around $40, after tip.

Minimal food available for purchase, but you can do tastings, flights, wine by the glass or bottles and are allowed to bring outside food and decorations (just not outside alcohol). Price point is reasonable, and we enjoyed a bottle of Cayuga white while overlooking the vines and fields. Peaceful venue, not fancy and kid friendly (which was a plus for us) and we appreciated being allowed to relax and enjoy the fresh air and wine! My husband enjoyed the red flight -- and while not the kind of wine that will knock your socks off, it's an unpretentious place and perfect for enjoying with loved ones.

The Hibernia Inn is an old school fine dining restaurant. Which is a GREAT thing in my book. The servers wear formal shirts and the well maintained dining room is tastefully appointed with lots of windows and intimate lighting. The menu covers all the bases leaning towards, but not limited to sea food and Italian fare. The meal itself was excellent. We started with an appetizer sampler for two. Four Gulf shrimp, crab meat, sliced steak on crisps and a couple of other things. The Gulf shrimp were the standout. Super fresh, dense and meaty. For the main I ordered Salmon in a peppercorn sauce of sorts. It was perfectly prepared and delicious. The sauce was creamy but not too heavy. My wife ordered Cape May scallops over angel hair pasta. The scallops were cooked just right. Slightly browned, super sweet and tender. Truly an excellent dining experience. Sorry, I didn't take any pictures. Next time for sure. We look forward to our next visit. Give it a try.
