TLDR: Great food, reasonable price, cozy vibes…read more We both ordered the burger which was juicy and delicious. Very full and filling! The fries were perfectly crispy, and the truffle was definitely worth the extra $2. The inside is decorated with fairy lights and fall decor. We sat outside in the little heated patio area which was a little chilly but I run hot so I liked that. Dinner for two, including tip, came out to about $55. No wait at 5:00 on Saturday (cue Billy Joel) for the patio!!

I've been coming here for years. Why haven't I written a review? Probably because every time I walk…read morethrough that door I'm so in the moment that the last thing on my mind is picking up my phone to write about it, which is a good problem to have. Metacom Kitchen is a cozy, intimate bistro, and if you haven't been, you're missing out. The atmosphere pulls you in immediately; warm, unhurried, with just the right amount of low lighting. Behind the bar you'll find a handsome Parisian bartender crafting some of the most thoughtful cocktails around. On this particular visit, that meant an extra dirty gin martini and a chai old fashioned. Both were perfect. My partner and I love to graze, rather than commit to one big entrée, when we can. My partner's family calls it bits and bobs, and that is what we did on this particular visit. We ordered the Duck Plate featuring duck three ways, some picked veggies, a fruit mustard, and grilled focaccia crostini. The Candy Beets & Salsify, which featured jewel-toned beet cubes scattered across what can only be described as a snow of barrel aged feta, roasted salsify (I had to look these up and apparently, they are somewhere between a parsnip and a carrot with an almost oyster like flavor when cooked), topped with some fresh green herbs. The dish was so pretty I almost didn't want to eat it. The Chickpea Fries are exactly what they sound like, and are somehow so much more; golden, crispy little logs served with an A1 aioli that you will not stop eating. The Coriander & Sea Salt Chicken Wings rounded things out; a pile of beautifully seasoned wings with caramelized onions and thyme, paired with a spicy buttermilk dipping sauce that had just the right amount of heat. Everything was absolutely delicious, which is honestly an understatement. We never save room for dessert and that was the plan this time too, until someone nearby ordered a crème brûlée and my partner's head spun around. That's her kryptonite. The version that night had Kahlua in it, which is usually not our thing; but the torched top was a beautiful lacquered brown, the custard underneath was silky, and wow, we were scraping the ramekin. Chef Allaire really knows his stuff. He creates small, decadent bites with ingredients you'd never think to pair, and somehow it all makes perfect sense on the plate. If you're feeling adventurous, make a reservation for Mystery Monday, where a three-course dinner is crafted for you on the spot. Pescatarians and other dietary preferences are accommodated if you let them know ahead of time. It fills up fast, so plan accordingly. If you prefer to order off the regular menu, that's available Monday too, and every other night. Either way, do yourself a favor and get here.

Thrilled this restaurant has reopened! It was always a favorite, especially for Monday Madness…read moredinners with friends, but it closed about 18 months ago while the chef moved on to Scales and Shells in Newport, which has since changed ownership. Now, after being back for a month or so, the place is even better than before. We recently enjoyed Monday Madness ($45/head for 3 courses - a steal!) again--every dish was both innovative and delicious. Expect fun surprises like veal croquette with sweetbreads or an inventive duck sampler. The regular menu is concise but well-crafted, which means everything is fresh and prepared with care. I've always felt that a smaller menu leads to higher quality, and it's clear the kitchen is focused on doing each dish well. Hard to imagine other places keeping sixty menu items consistently good or fresh. Service remains reliable and welcoming. The only downside is parking, since you'll need to find a spot on the street nearby. Definitely recommended!

I had heard a…read morewhile back that the blonde girl with the lack of personality no longer worked here, so I figured things would be better. We came in, was greeted by the hostess, she was very nice. She told us we could go in the back and have drinks and an app while we waited for our table. Great! A waitress came by, took our order for drinks and app. She was very nice and cheery. We hoped to get her as the waitress. So far, so good right? We were sat and our nachos came out just as we just settled in which was good. I was disappointed that expediter didn't bother to get us plates or recognize that we needed them. She left before I could say anything so I had to flag her down for them. She did get them quickly. For some reason, the waitresses were all over the back table of loud girls. It appeared they were showering them with attention going back and forth all different waitresses. The place is incredibly loud, it was tough to have a conversation with my girlfriend while we. We tried several times to make any sort of eye contact with the staff to let them know we needed drinks and failed. Eventually, we stood up, walked over and asked a waitress for some waters. A waitress came to the table and gave us waters and asked if we wanted drinks but let her know we had already put them in. She seemed annoyed by us, even though we didn't do anything other than tell her we already had drinks in and that we may order some other things soon. Nobody ever came by to check on us even though they came every 2 minutes to gab with the back table. My girlfriend and I didn't really like the nachos. She felt the chili was burnt and I thought it was too salty. We were still hungry and going to ask for entrees, but we were so annoyed with feeling neglected that we decided to go elsewhere. I asked for a box for my food and the waitress said she'd be back and went and talked with the other table again for what seemed like an eternity. At that point we just wanted to leave and eat somewhere else. When she came back after a while I was like... Oh! There you are! And she took my payment. I hate not leaving tips, but I was aggravated. We shouldn't have to get up and ask for what we need. This was upsetting.

While visiting friends in Warren, we decided to stop at Chomp for a late lunch. Seated outside on…read morethe deck, we got to enjoy the view and some great weather. After selecting from the reasonably diverse beer menu, I ordered pesto calamari and others ordered street corn Brussels sprouts and a K-pop chicken sandwich. The sandwich was a big bun with a huge piece of fried chicken, gochu bang bang sauce, and a ginger sesame slaw. Not my sandwich, but I did sample a chunk of the chicken, which was beautifully seasoned and not over cooked. The Brussels sprouts were well seasoned and decorated with corn, avocado, queso, and a little too much quinoa for my taste. My pesto calamari was delicious. The calamari was cooked well and it was a great change from the tomato based dips that typically accompany calamari. The aioli worked very well with the addition of capers and a squeeze of lemon. Our friends had not been there previously, but it's definitely on their rotation now.

Easily some of the best smash burgers you'll ever have…read more I usually stick to simple smashed burgers, and Chomp nails it every time. The patties are perfectly cooked, the flavor is on point, and the challah buns are seriously next level, they hold everything together without getting soggy or falling apart, even with a juicy burger. I also tried the Hot Honey Alabama Chicken Sandwich (that's the one I believe it's called), and it was delicious. Great balance of sweet heat and crunch, and just like the burgers, it holds together really well without falling apart. They've also got a bunch of creative flavor combos if you want to branch out, but I keep coming back to the classics. Service is usually solid when I dine in, and takeout is just as good. Highly recommend Chomp if you're in the area.
