    I'm not a native east coaster but I have been out here a long time now, so when my wife suggested during my current vegetarian kick now to try Clover I was surprised I hadn't heard of them before. We stopped by yesterday for dinner and had some lovely "Nashville Hot" Mushroom sliders which did indeed were pretty hot. Really delicious food, some of the best pita bread I've had. I think Clover is the first place I've been where they are happy to 100% document their process for making their pita on the wall as well as documenting their story over the past 10+ years as well. The Burlington space itself is I guess kind of "understated" no thrills or fancy dining, but I appreciated that basically everything was compostable, and appreciated the staff being friendly and engaging with it being my first time there and trying to figure out what to get.

    Stone in the food

    Just ordered a Mediterranean bowl from Clover. It had a small stone in it. Fortunately did not eat it accidentally but never going to order from them

    Egg and eggplant platter

    Been to the Cambridge and Boston locations several times and am always amazed by the quality of food at Clover. Tried their blueberry muffin for the first time and they served it warm! It was delicious with a hint of ginger and I would love to get my hands on their recipe to recreate at home - it was that good! Ordered the egg and eggplant platter - one of my go to favorites. It is very filling and I had to save half for tomorrows lunch. Service at all locations is always quick and friendly. Orders need to be placed and paid for online, they are still following strict social distancing protocols (yay!).

    Came here for the first time for lunch on a weekend. Ordered their Japanese sweet potato sandwich and their falafel skewer side dish. Total came out to around $16 (without tip). What's Hot: - Menu variety. Vegan friendly, FTW! It appears that many menu items are staples, but there are seasonal items, too. They have Japanese sweet potato, which is not easy to find. Now is the brussel sprouts season, which is cool. - Eco friendly. From what I saw, everything is eco friendly. Their dishes that the food is served are paper products. Utensils looked like they are made of recycled plastic. Paper takeaway bags. They have water, at the front, so you can bring your own water bottles and refill them. And their staff encourage you to use it. Customer friendly, which is great. - Service. Friendly and helpful. I didn't order a drink. When they took my order and asked if I wanted a drink, I responded that I brought my own water. The staffer told me I could refill my bottle with their water whenever I needed to. Not a common response I've heard at other restaurants, which is awesome. It's self-serve and there's no table service, but whenever you need something or have questions, they help and are super nice, as well. Definitely a win. - Quality. Delish. The Japanese sweet potato was soft, mushy, and slightly sweet. It didn't taste overly seasonal or overly sweetened, which was great. Sweet potatoes are sweet enough and there shouldn't be a need to always add extra sugar and ruin the flavor. Their falafel skewers came with some slices of pickles, which weren't too sweet or sour, which I liked. Their veggies are pickled, but not briney. They have an open kitchen, so you can see the staff preparing the food, which is reassuring, as well. - Health and safety. During this time of the pandemic, all their staff were wearing masks. I appreciate this act of reassurance, especially because I've been to some restaurants where staff don't wear masks and it's uncertain what, if any measures, they are taking. I also saw a sign on their door asking customers to wear masks. - Portions. Not bad. A decent size, but be prepared that it's not going to be enough to get you full if you're hungry. What's Not: - Menu variety. Although I like their menu, it's disappointing when some items aren't available, because it's seasonal. For example, I saw oyster mushrooms in the Yelp pictures, but not on their menu. Bummer, because I like oyster mushrooms. My friend said they have a delish peach soda, which they don't always have. Again, the uncertainty of some menu items kinda sucks. First-world problems, right? - Price. Can be kind of pricey, especially if you order more than one dish, which you will if you're hungry. I only ordered 2 dishes and the total came out to $16, which didn't get me full. On the one hand, I was able to get a meal for under $20. On the other hand, be prepared that your tab can add up quickly when you order more than 1 dish. - Layout. I don't like their stools. Anytime you remotely move their stools, it always makes a loud scraping sound on the floor. It's so loud that it almost hurt my ears. Always interrupts conversations and that it happens on a regular basis because people naturally and predictably move their chairs, is super annoying. Final Answer Would definitely like to come back.

    Hummus
    Sean J.

    Perfect spot for lunch. Plates aren't too heavy, the service is efficient and quick, and the prices won't break the bank. I think it rotates items on the menu, but the staff will quite literally pull up an item on the big screen that you're interested in to see more about it. First time I've ever experienced that. I had the chickpea fritter sandwich and the hummus. Both were excellent. The sandwich had a memorable savory flavor and zesty sauces and toppings were great to go along with the fritters. The hummus was perfect for dipping on the side. The zaatar on top was the icing on the cake. Go check it out!

    Nashville Hot Mushroom Platter
    Alyssa T.

    Been obsessed with this franchise ever since I started coming here on my lunch break at the Kendall Square location. Their model is on point -- friendliness, personal touches, and quality food. Whenever I eat here I feel nourished in the best way. Even the French fries feel light and healthy and not loaded with oil. Today I got the Nashville Hot Mushroom Platter. Seriously soooo yummy! 10/10 would come back again!

    Barely a bowl of soup - more like a few drops.

    Do I have to order the pita separately if I order a sandwich?

    Any sandwich comes on pita no need for a separate order unless you want extra. Platters do not come with pita.

This is our 2nd anniversary coming by and they just make you feel like royalty. There is plenty of free self parking available. The inside is more masculine but beautiful.

We shared the 48oz cowboy ribeye. It was massive and presented so nicely. Last year I had the regular ribeye and prefer it but there was nothing wrong with this. You get to choose sauce or salt. We love the smoked salt and also went with a horseradish cream. We got fries on the side which were good but nothing compared to this massive meat.

A few years back we stumbled upon…read moreThe Bancroft and it was excellent - so, she came into town this past weekend, wanted to do our fancy big meat dinner, and we knew The Bancroft was the place to go. I made a reservation for a Saturday night at 7:00 for two. Note: I originally went to make the reservation online from their website but the availability was not good, so I called instead. Online it pretty much looked booked between 4:30 and 8:00 - I called and was able to get 7:00 without hesitation. So, make note to call if you don't see the time or range listed online. We were greeted as we entered and checked in with the host/hostess. They were friendly and polite and told us it would just be a few minutes. They brought us back to our table and had us seated shortly there after. Our waitress was great; she told us about the specials, checked in on us, and made sure everything was as expected. We ordered some bevs that were very tasty and had great presentations. Speaking of presentation, let's get on to the food. We ordered the Tomahawk, which if you don't know, is a MASSIVE piece of meat. It's a steak meant to serve two people - in reality, it serves way more than two. The presentation of the tomahawk steak plate alone was beautiful! It had a whole bunch of stuff (see pic). They bring it out for you to see, and then they take it back to the kitchen to slice. We ordered medium rare, and probably should have gone more medium but it was not too rare so it was fine. Now, at The Bancroft, it is an à la carte style meal, meaning you order sides separately and usually a few for the table. We had the carrots (one of the specials), roasted potatoes, and creamed spinach. Forgot to say when you order meat, you also get to pick two sauces - and before anything while you wait they bring you some rolls and butter. The rolls started us off on the right foot knowing the meal was going to be phenomenal. They were warm with some sea salt on top and baked to perfection. The steak was mouth watering, juicy, and flavorful. The sauces added a great touch, and the sides were wonderful. It is safe to say, we did not leave hungry! As mentioned, while tomahawk is said to serve two, we had a lot of leftovers so of course we got those packed up to go. They were very considerate with the packaging, putting items in different boxes that made sense. We unfortunately did not have room for dessert but I'm sure it would've been awesome. The Bancroft is definitely a higher scale restaurant so it is on the pricer side, but it is justified. The food tastes great, presentation is there, and service is excellent. It's a great place for special occasions, celebrations, or just because as long as you know what to expect... but with prices today, I'd rather pay this and have it be worth it than what a crappy meal is costing today!

Someone else brought the same steak back a few minutes later and parts were overcooked and parts were still medium rare.

The green cameos on the front halls wallpaper were fuzzy!! The bathrooms were also a freaking delight. Great wall paper everywhere. The dining room was very beautiful with high back chairs and a fire place. They also offered dining on the porch which was really beautiful too - the inn is not secluded by any means, but there wasn't an overbearing amount of traffic, so the porch would probably be lovely.

When we walked into the hotel, there was no one at the check stand, and we eventually made our way through the bar to the restaurant's host stand. When you step into the main dining room, everything is awash with muted blues and grays--my scarf matched the color scheme pretty well, ha! We both ordered the kobacha (squash) soup, which was really quite delicious. It would've benefited from some sort of dippable bread or carb item, but it was very flavorful. The curry was definitely present without being overpronounced. I had the braised lamb neck, which came with glazed carrots and couscous. I order lamb all the time but had never ordered lamb neck specifically--I was pleased to find that it was tender and they gave a very generous portion! It tasted rather like a home-cooked meal. The harissa couscous was a nice complement. This dish just worked really well. For dessert, we shared the lemon posset, which is sort of like pot de creme. The lavender shortbread was really nice; I actually could've just had more of the shortbread by itself. The negative comes on the service front. We waited 35 minutes after being seated for our server to take our meal order and bring bread (their house bread is Parker House rolls, which were pretty standard Parker House rolls). After a while, we genuinely thought we had been forgotten about because it took over half an hour for our cocktails to arrive, and the restaurant was not full. However, I did enjoy The Ellen, a blackberry liquor-based cocktail, although the apple cidery "The Temptation" drink was too sweet for me. It was sort of strange because our server came to drop the menus and take our drink order and we didn't see her over a half hour. This was really the only negative of the meal, although since it was inching toward the hour mark before we received our appetizers, it was a pretty big ding. All that said, we'd certainly come back here.

Some are drive-thru only (like the one near my house). I'm gonna talk about the former real quick. Naturally, the menu is basically the same. On this day, I was having lunch. Ergo, I opted to try the Chipotle Short Rib & Egg burrito (as a bowl because I'm a man of culture) accompanied with a cup of chowdah. I must say...I expected there to be a bit more flavor, what - with the Chipotle sauce n' all. Alas, I had to add my own salt. This is mostly a nitpick, but really...can we please season our beef? Just a lil bit even? So, the biggest difference you'll notice at this location is the parking situation. It's....annoying. Because on the one hand, you technically have ample amounts of spaces to park in. Or...you WOULD, if not for the signs en masse that read "[insert corporate company name here] parking only - all violators will be towed at owner's expense." I find this hilarious because I feel like that would be impossible to enforce for folks parking less than 10 minutes to pick up an order like I did. So, I guess my pro tip of the day would be: feel free to park wherever at your own risk if and ONLY if you're getting take-away. If you're actually dining in, I suppose you'll have to wait painstakingly for one of the few parking spots actually designated for Pressed specifically to open. By the way, if you're picking up a take-away order, the take-out shelf is smack dab next to their side entrance opposite the side where you would normally order your food. It's one of those "blink once and you'll miss it" type things the first time visiting. From my vantage point, this place stays quite busy. Not surprising, considering the Burlington area in general. Clearly, a lot of folks come here mid-work day which is also the only reason I came here to begin with. Overall, not a bad lunch stop, though the parking can be slightly obnoxious. I'm giving Pressed Cafe in Burlington 4 Chipotle Short Rib bowls dubiously seasoned out of 5.
