This is one of the nicest restaurants in Lowell. It feels like a nice hotel restaurant, but the…read morebuilding isn't actually a hotel. They are set up to host large events in the dining room, but the bar area is nice and cozy, with several high top tables and booths. One of the best things here is the chowder... New England style, hearty and delicious. The bar has a great selection of local beer, and they make a great cocktail. Since the closure of several restaurants in Lowell, Cobblestones is one of the few options for eating out before an event at Tonga's Center or LMA. This means they can get quite busy on event nights. It's possible the quality of the food and service might suffer a bit in these circumstances, but that's true of any place. Plan your visit accordingly, and adjust your expectations. Cobblestones is a local Lowell treasure!

I stopped into Cobblestones on a trip to Boston, and I thought it was cute, with the potential to…read morebe even better. The coffee selection was a little disappointing, with no seasonal options or flavor options beyond syrups. But, overall, the coffee was flavorful. Service was great. The person behind the counter was very personable and made great recommendations. I got my breakfast sandwich relatively quickly, and it was good, but I noticed that it was served on a pretty badly chipped plate. This could be hazardous, so I would like to see an improvement there in the future. The food and service were overall good at Cobblestones. I think with some redecorating and slight rebranding, it could become a Beacon Hill staple. The interior doesn't currently match the vibe of Beacon Hill, but I think this could be a pretty easy change to make. I would also like to see an improvement on the coffee menu. They could give Tatte a run for their money if a seasonal menu were available!

I finally made to Hammond Castle after having it on my list of places to see for years…read more I made a reservation for a self-guided tour with a flexible entrance time of 11-45 AM -2:30 PM for their "Deck the Halls" holiday celebration. Cost was $25 per person. When we arrived there were cars waiting for a parking spot as they are limited. We did not have to wait too long for a space since there was a constant flow of people coming and going. I am unsure how it would be for parking in the summer as people may take longer to enjoy the outside area so I am glad we went during a cold morning. I totally enjoyed my visit as it was much more than a castle as it incorporated some interactive exhibits and information about its former owner John Jay Hammond Jr. I'll admit that I knew very little about him but left the place more informed about him - including that he held over 400 patents. You learn more about his work as you explore the house. Don't miss watching a short introductory video where the coat check area is located. It is a medieval castle built in the 1920s and it is not handicapped accessible. It is also not the best place for someone with mobility issues as it has many staircases to get around the entire place.

We found Dan on Yelp when we did a search for someone who could do patios near Lynnfield. We hired…read morehim to renovate the side of our home from a concrete slab (which was falling apart and looked terrible) to a cobblestone style patio. He quickly gave us a very reasonable estimate and provided us with lots of info regarding our options and how we could customize it. He worked hard (in humid weather and rain!) and his crew was always polite. The end product is exactly what we wanted. In fact, better than what we expected because he added custom extras like a curved cut-out area where I could plant a garden. We're in love with our new patio. I would recommend him to anyone needing work done on their home and wanting a true professional with extremely reasonable rates.
