    Individual Yogurt Parfait
    Ying X.

    Order for college tea break. Individual Yogurt Parfaits: A typical white breakfast, but the taste was pretty good! The granola was homemade, savory and crunchy with a rich creamy flavor; the non-fat yogurt was pure, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour, and the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries all tasted fresh and high-quality. And finally, I got to eat delicious strawberries in the US!

    Beige roast beef with plenty of fat.

    Last resort ....maybe. For sure one of the worst catering services in Boston. Never impress me at all. I had this Roast Beef Roesco sandwich. I bit in and was like what is that tough chew? Oh, it's grizzle and fat on the roast beef. Beige roast beef , bread was OK...... should have opted for turkey. Next time FLOUR all the way.

    Because of how busy this place gets during peak lunch hours, I went around 1:15pm and it was way less busy than if I went at 12-1pm time. I was able to get my buffalo chicken wrap right away and they put a good amount of chicken in it. I was able to substitute spinach for the carrot slaw. The chicken was spicy and flavorful. It was not fried which is great. For a $10 wrap, I was actually very full. There were plenty of seating this time because I didn't go when it was busiest. I would say this place is a good lunch place when it is not chaotic.

    We came here to meet a friend who is Kosher. It was busy and had outdoor seating but we chose to sit inside. We took turns getting food and figuring out the layout (pick the line with lemonade samples if you can) but everyone was friendly and helpful. I got the Milk Street Cobb salad (turkey bacon or tofu bacon) and it was good. Watching them prepare it was a treat too. IF we are in Boston again I'd love to try a dessert. Sitting was more of a challenge, they need more space between tables, I agree it's kind of cramped if you are not a kid or super small. The goals most places is MORE people, not more comfort. The Women's Room was clean and spacious. It seemed to be a good work space too, as i saw a few people on computers.

    While visiting Boston. I realize that Milk Street Cafe is like one of their chain coffee store like Starbucks. Since DD and Starbucks the line were extra long in the morning. Me and my friend decide to go to a little bit quieter coffee shop and sit there to find some activities to do. They do sell some bakeries good at the cafe. Overall, I would come here again. A little bit more quieter and the food/drink are good as well.

    Chicken pesto
    Charlene E.

    My job hosted a luncheon for us for Nurse's Week and it was hosted by this cafe. I'm not a sandwich person but I opted for the chicken pesto sandwich and I've gotta say that it was pretty solid. I don't really enjoy chicken either so I was pretty impressed. The sauce used in the sandwich was delicious and that sandwich turned out being a popular choice amongst many of my colleagues.

    Happy Go S.

    Milk Street Cafe is huge and the staffs are super friendly. I got pastries from here and they were delicious.

    I had been planning on taking my dad here for his birthday and wow what a treat it was. I grew up…read moredown the street but had never been able to afford a place like this, now I can't wait to go back when I'm in town! We decided to skip appetizers and go right to having our entrees with sides. The mashed potatoes were insanely buttery, the onion rings were perfectly crisp, and the corn was good (but also just corn). I had the beef Wellington which was phenomenal. You didn't even need a knife to cut the filet it was that tender. My dad said the ribeye he had was the best he has had in his entire life. We went with the banana foster which was the perfect way to end the evening and they bring out a little sweet chocolate treat. The tables are a little too close to my liking as the business dinner next to us was incredibly loud and over the top. I'd save a date night here for a Friday or Saturday where maybe the focus is on that. Our server Paige was knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. She put up with my dad's jokes really well and I appreciate that! We will definitely be back, but might stick to a different day/time. Also, the rolls are INCREDIBLE and I asked for leftovers and they packed me up a little box to go - THAT is great service and how you should do it!

Shout out to Lucas, our wonderful server! P.S. GET THE BISQUE (not pictured).

    I'd heard of Sam LaGrassa's for years but had never managed to make it there. My first introduction…read moreended up being at a corporate event in Boston's Seaport district, where lunch arrived courtesy of one of the city's best-known sandwich shops. The catering was impressive. Before anyone even took a bite. Every half sandwich was individually wrapped and clearly labeled, with salads and sides neatly organized, making it easy for a large group to grab lunch without the usual catering chaos. The choices were wide and varied. We took our lunches upstairs to a rooftop seating area overlooking the Seaport, which made for a pretty great setting on a beautiful afternoon. I chose the Gobbler, and it lived up to the hype I've since read in other reviews. At first glance it sounds like a Thanksgiving leftover sandwich, but it's much more than that. The turkey was fresh and flavorful, and it was complemented by stuffing, cranberry sauce, spinach, pepper jack cheese, and just enough chipotle mayo to add an unexpected kick, without overwhelming everything else. It's one of those combinations that sounds busy on paper but comes together remarkably well. I spoke with several others over lunch, and they were equally impressed with their choices. That's always a good sign when you're feeding a crowd. It's one thing to make a great sandwich to order; it's another to deliver dozens of them catered while maintaining that level of quality. Since this was catered, I can't really comment on the restaurant itself. The service on the catering side, however, was evident in how thoughtfully everything was prepared and packaged, and the rooftop setting where we enjoyed lunch certainly didn't hurt. Needless to say, this won't be my last Sam LaGrassa's sandwich. I fully intend to visit the restaurant one of these days, and in the meantime I'll spend some time trying to recreate that Gobbler at home (maybe with sliced roasted chicken, but also with turkey when I have it). It was that good.

    I've had this bookmarked for quite some time and finally made the decision to stop by. I ordered…read morethe Southwestern Pastrami (no bbq sauce) and my partner ordered the Chicken Mafia. He ate his fresh and liked it enough to want to go back. He felt it was big enough to split into 2 meals, which is a plus since the prices here are pretty steep. I had mine cold, so I didn't like it as much. The tomatoes made the bread soggy, but the sandwich was packed with pastrami. The pickles they give though... so good and a perfect bite in between each sandwich bite or a good lil snack at the end. I like how they pack everything for take out. The boxes are secure, they don't skimp on the sauces and wrap them in plastic wrap and the pickles are in mini ziploc bags to ensure the juices don't spill on everything. Very thoughtful packaging. Since I ordered for pick up, they do have curbside where you double park out front and they can bring it to you, or you can run in and tell them the name it's under and they'll hand it to you when ready. For a Tuesday afternoon, service is not fast nor slow. The inside of the restaurant gave deli vibes, which I personally like. It's quite busy and they have some cool signs and photos up. I'll definitely be back to try it fresh!

Place was nicely decorated, subtle and tasteful. Staff attentive. I had the restaurant week lunch special- rhode island calamari, haddock stuffed w crab and spinach, and blueberry cheesecake. Dishes were very tasty and large serving. Calamari was nicely divided between tentacles and rings. My wife had a spicy shrimp sushi dish and a lobster club. The shrimp sushi was not to spicy, but very tasty and fresh. Lobster club was chunks of lobster tail on a toasted bun with tomato and lettuce.

Pleasant, professional, walked us through the menu. But the food was awful. We started with the Oysters Rockefeller. It was a 3/5 on a good day. Zero flavor other than salt, the cheese wasn't even melted. Things went from bad to inedible. The spicy shrimp tempura was soggy popcorn shrimp that tasted like it had been fried yesterday and sat under a heat lamp. We couldn't eat it and had to send it back. The manager came over to recommend the crab cakes as a replacement, assuring us it was one of their best dishes. The plate came out scorching hot, but the middle of the crab cakes were ICE COLD. Are they taking these from the fridge and just putting them under the heat lamp? Service was good, but whatever is happening back in that kitchen needs a serious assessment.
