    We had a bit of a wait, expected on a Saturday night, but the owner, Phil, are out and talked to us. He gave us some good suggestions so when we got seated, we were ready to go. Our favorites were the nachos - piled perfectly with just the right mount of toppings. My son LOVED his steak sandwich. He save his second half for the next day and said it was just as good on day 2! The wait staff were quick on their feet, gave great attention while also letting us enjoy our meal without feeling rushed. We can see why the place is abuzz, keep up the great service and yummy food!

    Chicken fingers
    Caitlin B.

    They have live music, outdoor (& indoor) seating, and good beer on tap. All pluses. However, I'm never wowed by the food. They somewhat try to be kid friendly (which I get: it's a bar, so they don't need to be) but their fries are more like potato wedges and the chicken fingers aren't quite kid-approved. I got the burger and it was fine.

    nachos

    Great spot- just had drinks and apps, but the absolute best nachos and great empanadas!

    Food was mediocre at best.. there was no taste in the muscles or clams... Had to return the fish tacos, cause it was overly taste of fish... cocktails were good in the vibe was good, but don't eat the food

    I visited here Friday for happy hour. They have a nice bar outside but we opted for inside being it was a little windy. We decided to have a nosh and cocktail before heading to dinner at Ohana. The sliced strip with tomato appetizer was fantastic. It was prepared in a red vinegar sauce and very tender. I also had the house tequila on the rocks. Not bad for $7. Loved this local Lavalette bar. Cute seaside town.

We were pleasantly surprised to find Klee's Bar and Grill open. We were seated and our waitress was very friendly and helpful. She brought our drinks and took our food order. I ordered a Ruben sandwich with fries and a cup of chili. While we waited there was live music being played by a one man band from behind the bar. He was entertaining playing classic rock and not to loud that you couldn't talk. Our food came quickly and was very delicious. My sandwich was served open faced and piled with meat. The fires were hot and fresh. I was also impressed with the hostess who was cleaning tables. She really wiped them down good with disinfectant spray and then wiped the chairs as well. There is nothing bad I can say about this place and would highly recommend it.

Our bartender was excellent and after hearing I was vegetarian, she recommended the eggplant sandwich. The eggplant is thin and perfectly crisp. I low key wish this was an eggplant parm or dressed with some type of sauce, but it's delicious on its own. Last night we went Klee's and the food was good but the service was exceptional. Our waitress was extremely attentive. I got the eggplant sandwich with fries which I almost forgot about (I don't know how). Their fries are crisp and incredible. My mom got the meatloaf and instead of mashed potatoes got fries. Instead of broccoli, she got green beans. The portions were huge and she was very happy with the substitutions. We also got dessert which we regret not sharing because their portions were huge. She got the chocolate peanut butter pie and I got the apple crisp. The apple crisp was stacked. Both were good! Next time we will definitely split dessert because we were stuffed. I highly recommend checking this spot out. Oh if you are in the mood for lighter food, their nutty pear salad is so refreshing and yummy! I will definitely be back!

The dining room is boisterous and lively, making it a great environment where both families and adult parties seemed to be having a wonderful time. For drinks and appetizers, I started with a lychee martini and ordered the crab cake appetizer as my entree. While the flavor was good, I've honestly had better crab cakes elsewhere. My fiancé ordered the surf and turf, which was perfectly prepared. The real stars of the meal, though, were the sides and dessert. We ordered the roasted brussels sprouts and the baked mac and cheese, and we both absolutely LOVED our sides. To wrap up the night, we dived into the peach cobbler special--it was incredible, and I would easily go back just for that! Overall, it was a fantastic evening with great energy, amazing sides, and a standout dessert.

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. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.
