This past weekend I decided to try out April's for brunch because a friend of a friend recommended…read moreit. I went and the place is small but cute. The host welcomed me right away while attending other guests. I waited for my table for about 15 minutes. Not too bad being that the place was packed! In the summertime they have an outside patio area which helps with the capacity of people. So I get seated. Looked at the menu which was nicely done. I ordered a tequila sunrise to get the day going (don't judge me! ) after about 5 minutes my drink was brought to me. With such great service I thought I was gonna be ok for an amazing brunch... I wasn't! ‍ I ordered the Boston Omelette (steak tips, onions, mushrooms, peppers, and cheese). The dish came with home fries and toast. I declined the toast because I always ordered a side of pancakes with banana, strawberries, and blueberries! Even though the place was packed. The kitchen was pumping out the orders! The food came within 10 minutes. The presentation looked delicious. But after the first bite of my omelette, I knew we had an issue. The steak (or lack there of!) had not seasoning or flavor to it. Nor did the home fries! Very basic! I had to put a lot of salt and pepper to try and enjoy either item... I didn't even finish the dish. I moved onto the pancakes because they looked delicious. Whomp whomp! Another let down! The only good thing about the meal was then tequila sunrise drink! Would've expected more from this place flavor wise!

First time here and I'm glad I came into the north shore of Boston. Usually I stick to New…read moreHampshire but I had family in town and of course they all wanna see Boston so I looked up a spot around the area we were in and The Blue Ox should up. Once inside we were seated very quickly... We started with some Crispy Calamari that had peppers and a nice chipotle aioli sauce that went well together. Then we had the Mussels which were very good, it had lots of garlic which we love and it has white wine with heirloom tomatoes. Both appetizers were amazing. Now for my dish I went with the Sin Burger due to seeing a bunch awards for this burger so I had to try. So the burger I ordered was made medium with bacon, truffle aioli and Swiss cheese. It was so good and this dish was the highlight of my night. It was made to perfection and everything went well together in the burger. I'll definitely be back just to eat the burger again. So if you're around Lynn then be sure to give this spot a try. You won't be disappointed!

We tried the "demon seed" the blood orange old fashioned, the "bacon and legs" the "dirty and hot" and the limoncello sipper for dessert. Food wise, we did tuna tartar that I didn't think was spicy but my friend did. It had a nice whipped cream cheese as a base with some homemade chips. Normally I don't like chips but these were good. We also tried the wings. Piping hot, perfect crispness and the house blue cheese I could have eaten with a spoon. We came after a beach day so not our best dressed but we were treated like royalty either way. Definitely a place to return!

This is as mom and pap shop as it gets with a full bar and traditional food with it. For drinks we had a gin and tonic, toasted almond and a Michael's ultra beer. Good drinks with great service.

We arrived on time and were seated in an area close to the bar for our party! The staff made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The restaurant was very clean, lit well and decorated nicely. We ordered a variety of drinks and dishes. The drinks were made well and were beautiful to look at. The appetizers were delicious but unfortunately I didn't get pictures. The foods were prepared with care and very flavorful. They were beautifully presented. My son had a cheeseburger and he ate every bit of it! Everyone in my party stated that their dish was delicious and that they would come back for more. We were also surprised at the end when the staff sang happy birthday and presented a slice of tiramisu cake to our family member whose birthday it was! That was so very thoughtful and appreciated. We appreciated the good food and the good vibes! I highly recommend!

Made a pit stop on Saturday night at Lazy Dog Sports Bar, which is located in Wyoma Square, Lynn…read more We have never been but have heard a lot of good things about steak tips and chicken.....two of our favorites. Upon entry, we saw a busy bar scene....football games on the tv's and lots of people chatting and having a good time. The dining room, which is located just off the bar area, was kind of small, but was perfect size for the crowd! We were seated rather quickly and given menu's and drinks! We quickly found out Lazy Dog was a family-locals bar, which is a good thing! The vibe was everyone kind of knowing each other and enjoying the food, company and drink. We ordered and the food came rather quickly. We had the caesar salad with grilled veggies and the chicken breast dinner with fries. Both were brought out with hefty amounts on the plates. All the food was great tasting. I had a small dinner salad, which was fresh and perfect size. The chicken I had was tasty, cooked perfectly and plenty. The caesar salad was fresh, as well and we raved about the grilled veggies that came along with it. I wish I ordered the baked beans....but I didn't! I plan to when I return. There is nothing like baked beans and dinner! We wish we could have hung around for the music, but they did not set up in time for us to watch them play. Again, it seemed like a lot of patrons were waiting for the music because they have heard them before....which is great for local, neighborhood places. FYI, entry is in the back. Also, parking is easiest around the back.

We were lucky enough to snag a window seat right after a quick summer rainstorm, so while outdoor dining wasn't an option, this was a close second. We opted for no appetizer as we weren't starving, but did choose both specials for the evening. I had the lobster pie which came with whipped potatoes and sautéed veggies. All was excellent. The lobster was delicious and the portion had nice big pieces. My husband opted for the crab cakes which was an app, but added fries to make it a dinner. The fries were cut and fried in a way I haven't seen before (see photo), but they were so good! Light and crispy outside with fluffy insides, they were perfect! Our waitress was great, perfectly attentive and everything came out quick. We were offered bread which we accepted - amazing! Whatever the oil/Parmesan cheese combo they use is what all restaurants should use, I couldn't get enough!
