The pizza was so so. The wings arrived ice cold. Service: atrocious. The server was confused from the beginning. It took over 15 minutes for a server to come to us and we had to ask. This is because other tables around us were getting drinks. Another 15 minutes and we wave him down, and he proceeds to ask "what can I get you?" He seriously forgot he even took our order.10 more minutes my husband's drink comes but not my glass of wine. 10 more minutes the server brings the wine. The food was more of the same . He brought the pizza and twenty minutes later (after we saw him and asked) he brought the ice cold wings. Never once an apology. Never asked can I get you anything else. I wish I had looked at reviews before going there. If you go on their website there are numerous complaints similar and worse than mine .

Came here on Sunday afternoon a couple of hours before a concert. This is the perfect place to eat…read moreprior to a concert. It is right around the corner from the Prudential Center. There was no way for me to make a reservation online so I took my chance. I was there with two other people and we were lucky to get enough to get there when we did. The place started to get packed quickly. We got a table on the top floor (there is a bottom floor). Our waitress/bartender CiCi was great. She was busy but still attentive. We got Louie Char Grilled Oysters, thai chili wings Catfish nuggets, fries and burger with fries. For drinks, we got blueberry lemon drop martini and margaritas. Both drinks were tad a bit too tart and not strong enough. Our food was delicious. Though I wish the fries were shoestrings fries and it they had a parmesean truffle option. Great place to listen to music, have some good food and drinks before a concert at the Prudential Center

If you want a martini be very exact as to how you want it. My friend's first version was weirdly sweet with triple sec added. The bartender claimed that was how it was made at their bar.

Always very interesting and cool wines on the list! The staff? Probably the friendliest people you ever did meet. If you end up there even twice in the same month, they'll likely recognise you and give you a hearty, friendly hello. I've come here multiple times, and generally tend to buy at least one bottle. I've especially loved coming when there's folks who are willing to foot the bill for the night out, so that I can enjoy the really good stuff they have on offer. In those cases, we order multiple bottles, and keep the cocktails coming. They automatically add 20% gratuity to your bill, so there's no chance you're going to fumble the tip at the end of the night. Assume that any price on the menu is 30% higher, on account of sales tax being over 6%, and automatic gratuity being 20% added to your bill. Early on when this place opened, the vibe was chill, and you could bring people and have a conversation and a really nice time tasting the various wines on offer. Lovely. Get a cocktail, and the bartenders will take care of it, and make it perfectly. So why the 1 star? As time went on, they decided to hire a DJ to come in and spin music. Cool no worries. Then the DJs decided it's REALLY IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO HEAR THE MUSIC YOU GUYS. SO LET'S BLAST IT AT EAR BLEEDING LEVELS. AND NO, THE STAFF WILL NOT REQUEST TO TURN IT DOWN. NOPE. WE GOTTA BLAST IT LIKE WE'RE IN A NIGHT CLUB. I thought maybe I had an off night, and it was one dude who had an agenda, so I went back a couple more times. Everything is gucci until the DJ shows up. Then all of a sudden you're all "WOW THE NOTES OF PLUM AND MINERALITY IN THIS WINE IS DELIGHTFUL!" "WHAT?" "I SAID THE NOTES OF PLUM AND MINERALITY IS DELIGHTFUL." "WHAT?" "WHAT?" If you're going to charge me in the neighbourhood of like $18 for a glass of wine or a cocktail, don't blast music like it's a freaking strip club and drown out any ability to have a conversation with the people I brought here thinking it's going to be a classy experience. If I wanted to go some place to shake my backside and dance to loud obnoxious music, I'd go to the other million and a half annoying loud places that exist already. Why they had to take such a delightful space, which had such a calm and peaceful vibe, and turn it into a trashy night club is beyond me, but I have zero desire to ever set foot in here again. The vibe sucks, and I'm not willing to spend that kind of money to be unable to hear the people I came with. I don't care about the DJ's agenda. The music should be a nice backdrop to the space, so that it enhances the mood, not stomps all over it like a herd of spooked cattle.

Followed that up with their crisp house focaccia with herb butter and the olive mix - both also discounted on happy hour. The server was absolutely wonderful and helped me choose a lovely wine to follow. She made my cocktail with care. The record selection was eclectic (Jamiroquai was in rotation) and a live DJ was just starting a groove as I had to leave. I would have loved to spend more time there.

The Junction is part of the Double Tree hotel and accessible on the 2nd floor or from the Gateway walking area adjacent to the train station. I can get to the platform in under 5 minutes, which is nice. Every time I eat here, I order the breakfast burrito. It has a lot of flavor and always is served piping hot. Seriously I ate all the home fries and the darn thing was still burning my mouth! And yet totally worth it. The seating area surrounds a bar and there are a few TVs on the walls. Again, its a nice respite from waiting at the train station. I am sure I will eat here again.

I was pleasantly surprised!…read more What a cool spot! Located not far from Prudential Center.. came here for Wednesday night karaoke. Found street parking with no meter which was great. Smaller spot, but you don't feel like you're on top of each other. It reminded me of a Village kinda spot.. very dark interior... but a whole vibe. Bathrooms were really clean.. nice bar in the back of the space. The only reason I will give it 4 is because even though the drinks were reasonably priced, the bartender wasn't making the best drinks... you could barely tell that there was any alcohol in them.. I had to order an extra shot just to make it taste good. I think she needed some help because she seemed sorta flustered in taking care of everyone. I would definitely return!! Especially for karaoke!
