TWIN HOT LOBSTER ROLLS, ugh! Best thing on the menu!! The yuzu butter was the perfect addition to the roll. The lobster was tender, juicy and the toast was So soft & flaky!

We shared the Winter salad to start, which was delicious with very fresh lettuce and a flavorful dressing. My Mom opted for the Shitake Mushroom Dumplings, which were delicious, and I had the Lemon sole. They have a full bar, curated wine list and several non-alcoholic beverage options. I opted for a sparking hibiscus and rose drink that was very unusual and good. Farmstead remains one of my go to restaurants when I'm in town as the food is locally sourced and dependable, the service is excellent and the space is intimate. It's a great local spot!

"How much further will my journey take me tomorrow? The new rain and chill are biting my…read moreclothes明日客程還幾許，沾衣況是新寒雨." A temperature of 13 degrees Celsius is already late autumn or even early winter for me as a Cantonese. After struggling through the biting wind and rain, the warm glow of the charcoal fire and the cozy decorations instantly warmed me, making a strong first impression. Moschari me Damaskina: The moment it entered my mouth, I couldn't help but exclaim "Wow!" Firstly, the tenderness of the beef cheek; the fibers almost melted at the very moment it touched my mouth, the fat and juices filling the space, making it incredibly easy to chew. Secondly, the dominant flavor was the tangy aroma; the fruity acidity of the prunes and red wine had a bright yet lingering fermented quality that immediately captivated my taste buds, leaving only the flavors of the beef itself and the spices. The tarhanas were sticky and chewy, with just the right amount of fermentation, complementing the beef perfectly. As a stew, it was rich and flavorful without being greasy--perfect for an autumn night! However, perhaps if the beef flavor had been a little deeper, it wouldn't have felt any overpowering. The waiter lifted the lid with a quiet cheer, and after I scooped out a portion, he gently closed the lid to keep it warm--a charming and thoughtful touch that added to the experience. Kontosouvli: A simple and straightforward roasted chicken, marinated with Greek yogurt. While not particularly surprising, the chicken was very tender and had a wonderful charcoal aroma--another excellent dish. The boneless chicken breast was even more satisfying than the drumsticks. The pickled onions had a slightly raw spiciness, making it less appealing than the one by Zaytinya at Washington DC. Samali: I touched the plate before eating; it was chilled, which added to my positive impression. The corn bread was standard, but the sweetness was slightly reduced to make way for the more prominent blueberry jam and grilled corn ice cream. The former was intensely sour, making it difficult to eat on its own. I personally think it would be better with a less acidic jam, such as orange, peach, or apricot. Despite having orange blossom syrup, it wasn't particularly outstanding. The latter, on the other hand, brought out the sweetness of the grains to the extreme, almost like eating an ice cream version of corn flakes, yet with a very light texture and melted exceptionally quickly--quite interesting. Looking back, this dessert might be more suitable for a July in New England, perhaps the best time of year, with bright but not scorching sunshine, a clear blue sky and sea, and even the wind barely perceptible. Blueberries and corn are just ripe, allowing you to quietly enjoy the land's most heartfelt gifts of the year. In the bleak autumn, perhaps the Galatopita with caramelized peaches and brown butter would be more seasonal, but seeing it on the menu made me think, why not let me just briefly return to that summer of yesterday's dreams?

Bar Vlaha is a warmly welcomed addition to the Boston Greek scene! It is my new favorite and I…read morecannot recommend enough. It is a beautiful ambiance, lovely Greek music, and wonderful service. A couple of friends and I were in the Coolidge Corner area and begged them to take us in for walk-ins - we'd be in and out within an hour. They kindly let us in and we started off with the saganaki, which was an ooey gooey cheese that was perfectly sweet, oily, and cheesy. This paired well with some of the bread we got with their whipped butter. Beef cheeks was the standout entree; insanely tender, melt in your mouth, and paired well with the couscous. Stifado was also delicious. The eggplant dish with a block of feta was also fun and yummy! Their cocktail game is also very fun - a couple of us got the Karpouzi 3.0 and we also got one "pump the briki" which was a fun take on an espresso martini. I can't wait for my next visit!

The food took forever to arrive and when it did, it was obvious it was an afterthought. The rice was cold and undercooked, the jerk chicken smelled stale, the lamb shank was hard and cold in some spots. Everything tasted like it was sitting around and reheated but barely. My friend didn't even take a second bite of her entree and when the waitress finally came to give us the check, she asked why the plates were full and we were honest with her but she brushed it off and gave us the check. Zero attempt to rectify it. Please don't neglect your actual customers. If you know your staff will be busy. close the restaurant or host those types of events during non-peak or non-business hours. The ambiance was lovely. Good music. nice decor and lighting. Again, the space was too cold but not as bad as the previous time.

Even a good pub has good tea. Next the noise level was about that of Park Square station at rush hour. You had to yell to be heard, and I am not deaf. Service was decent but certainly not great. Most of us had the baked cod with lentil and fennel. You received about 2 ounces of lentils and a bit of over cooked and tasteless fennel. The fish was decent though would have been better with a solid crumb topping. Pricing is aggressive even for Brookline. I would certainly come back for a beer with friends. I would not recommend sitting down for dinner.

The bottom of the bowl was slightly cold so maybe the DoorDasher had it under a heater, I don't know. Either way I wasted $15 on an açaí bowl that was gross. You can see in the two pics where I tilt it and it slides easily (because it's water). This was very disappointing for my daughter and she couldn't eat any of it. I've had one delivered from tropical smoothie cafe that arrived in an edible state and was delicious. It was just as expensive as this one and half the size, but atleast it was edible and yummy. Edit: Changing from 2 stars to 3. I called the store and the manager offered to remake it for me so if that's one good, this review can be bumped up to 4-5 stars :D Edit 2: Jose took care of it for me with awesome service. Unfortunately the açaí bowl was only okay so 4 stars is as good as this review will get.

Special shoutout to the glazed Brussels sprouts (sweet, crispy, and soft on the inside) and the chicken tenders tower (crispy, tender, and a fun presentation). A lowlight here was how our drinks kept almost falling off the table. It was nice that the tables were smooth instead of sticky, but we soon learned that all drinks should be kept on tables that weren't slanted at all, since they kept slipping towards the edge.
