    Great food, great ambience and best of all great karaoke!! The place is huge with a restaurant section and then another section which is sort of an event space - has the stage with an open area plus tables and seating in the sides. We sat at one of the tables in that space so we could eat and also enjoy the live music! And also go up and sing on the stage. I ordered the grilled swordfish and it was quite good! Came with green beans and a tomatoes based sauce which all went really well together. I also ordered a side of rice. Very satisfying and good portion size. I had leftovers to take home! The hubs ordered the pasta rigatoni with chicken and he enjoyed it. Friends ordered the chicken parm and they enjoyed it. The DJ and music was great with a lot of talented singers. You put your name and song choice on a piece of paper and hand it to the DJ. Then they call you up by turn. It was a lot of fun. Great crowd - everyone enjoying singing along and dancing to the songs. Just felt like a cozy neighborhood place. They were going to end at 11pm but given the energy of the crowd and probably the list of songs, they decided to go till midnight. It was a fun time! Cool art and artists pictures on the walls - very music oriented. And omg the restroom also had really cool decor - with music and fashion related artwork on the walls from top to bottom. Too bad I didn't bring my phone to take pics lol! Maybe next time. Service was good too. Luckily we found free parking down one of the side streets so that was good! Overall great experience and we'll be back for dinner and karaoke again for sure!

    We really enjoyed our pizza! I can only have gluten free crust and this is the first place I've ever visited with a large gluten free pizza. Vegan cheese was also available, which is great because both are not always available at the same restaurant. While the crust is really thin, per all gluten free crust, it was good. The toppings on the pizza were pretty good- I only wished there was a little more cheese. There was a good amount of chicken on the pizza, but the chicken was a bit chewy/overdone and I also wish the chicken was roasted with the pizza so that it blended in a bit. The amount of sauce was great. My boyfriend's pizza was with regular cheese and crust and he really enjoyed it! There was plenty of cheese and toppings, the only thing he wished was that there was a little more turkey. Overall, we really enjoyed our pizza here and love that they have regular pizza and gluten free and vegan options. We'll for sure be back and we recommend!

    Came to Premiere this past Sunday for an impromptu brunch with some friends. We did not have a reservation and as we came in the servers let us know that drag show was going on and asked us if we would like to go to it. We agree and it was fabulous! The show was incredible and so was the food! each one of us finished our plates no problem! all three of us also got drinks. The whiskey cafe was delicious and definitely had a good kick to it! All of their drinks definitely gave you your bang for your buck and we will absolutely be coming back.

    Lobster ravioli

    Came to Boston for our anniversary weekend. This was our first stop when we arrived ! We had an amazing dinner here. Parking is a bit tough in this area, but once you find parking, rest assured it will be worth the hassle. The food, service, everything was wonderful here. We started off the night with arancini and white wine. For entrees, husband got the chicken and I got the lobster ravioli. Omg, the lobster ravioli was the best I've ever had!!!! Amazing!!! We finished off the night with tiramisu and macchiato. What a night!

    Eggs Benedict and homefries

    If you're looking to go here for brunch, all I have to say is do it. I've only come here for Sunday brunch but each time it's been so delicious! They also sometimes play live music or other activities. The first time I went it was a bingo brunch and the last time they had a live musician. They also have TVs so you can still catch a Sunday game while having your breakfast. A fun place to go for brunch with friends or family! Food: We had the ricotta pancakes, eggs benedict and Nashville fried chicken sandwich! The pancakes were very lightly sweet, I was expecting more flavor from them. The eggs Benedict was my favorite dish. The basil hollandaise just adds the perfect touch and the home fries have peppers and onions which I love. The Nashville chicken was also soooo lightly crispy and tender. It didn't feel super heavy at all and the pickles they make on the side are quite nice. The FRIES, omg a must. Service: The waitstaff here is so kind! They offer recommendations and are prompt. Even when we had a bit of a wait, she brought us a house-made donut on the house and it was so light and fluffy. Now I have to comment on the bathrooms. The bathroom itself, is an experience. So well decorated, CLEAN, and just very cute all together. They have a fairly large space in the back with a stage and piano which I assume is for dinner service. Would love to come back and experience the dinner here! If you're looking for a brunch spot in Somerville, check out this hidden gem!

    Wine & cloud drink
    Monica A.

    This block was formerly & infamously known as the cockblock due to 3 establishments that had names based around this funny theme - wang's (Chinese food), Pini's (pizza), and woody's (liquor store, still on this block). So when I found out that Premiere took over, I was skeptical. How could any restaurant take over my favorite place to get wonton soup and eliminate my favorite talking point about Magoun square?? Well, after giving Premiere a shot, I am impressed. Between 2 people, we over-ordered and we didn't finish everything, but everything was great. Cocktails were creative and not too sweet. I tried the cranberry cloud (Instagram friendly) and the ginger snap (tasted like Christmas). Food was good. The lobster ravioli did not skimp on the lobster. The ravioli was filled with big chunks of lobster and they topped the pasta with even more lobster. The crispy skin salmon was also great. Crispy skin is my favorite way to make salmon, so I'm pretty particular when it comes to the skin.. they did a nice job! Other things we tried were the meatballs & loaded tater tots. The space is well decorated, pop art decorations everywhere, looks like they have a dance floor in the back. And a large bar. I've seen events, live music, drag shows, 4-course predetermined menus promoted, so it seems like a fun place overall. Apps average around $15. Entrees between $20-30. Cocktails are also around $15.

    Shrimp scampi
    Melissa P.

    Great pick for a date, speaking from experience...I ordered a drink from the menu and wasn't too impressed by it (sorry, forgot the name), so I ordered a spicy margarita. Was happy they were able to make a classic drink and the waitress was very attentive and willing to make sure we enjoyed everything we ordered. My date and I both ordered the shrimp scampi which was nice and creamy. It did taste and smell very "fishy" but I think that speaks to the freshness of the meal? We were very surprised when our meal came out so quickly! I added black pepper because it was missing some spice. I also felt the menu was a bit pricey for both drinks and meals, so keep in mind that this won't be an inexpensive date. On this night they had a live band play. They played so many upbeat classic songs, tunes by Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, etc. I am unsure how often they invite a live band to play so I recommend reading online or giving them a call to time out your date perfectly. Just keep in mind where you're sitting as the band can get loud so it will be hard to chat across the table.

    Chicken Sandwich
    Jessica B.

    Oh wow. How cool is this place?! The decor will capture your attention the minute you walk through the door. I love the large colorful paintings of celebrities both past & present on the walls. Not only is this a restaurant, but it's also a small live music venue!! My husband and I met some friends here for a double date on a random weeknight. We were served the unique house bread to start. It was thick and airy with mushrooms on it, which I loved. Then we ordered the arancini and meatballs for appetizers. Both were delicious but the arancini was my favorite; soft texture with a slight crunch and gooey cheese in the middle. For my entree, I ordered the chicken parm. Good lord, the portion size of the chicken was enormous and took up the whole plate. It was thin, crispy and delicious. They served the pasta on the side in a separate dish, which did not taste homemade (but that's ok!). My husband ordered the gnocchi and they ran out of whatever protein was supposed to come with it so instead they gave us another appetizer (for free!) to compensate - can you say amazing customer service?! We tried the whipped ricotta bruschetta and it was delicious! I've never had anything like it and I would definitely order it again. I can't wait to come back here when they have live music and try more items off the menu!

    Expresso martini
    Maria M.

    I went with my mom to Premiere on Broadway located on 517 Broadway in Somerville, MA. This spot not only has great Italian dishes but also has trivia nights, bands, and DJs come throughout the week. For cocktails we got their "Grow a Pear" cocktail which had maple bourbon, spiced pear, honey, lemon and ginger soda. This was my mom's personal favorite because she is a bourbon lover 9/10. We also got the margarita 9/10 which was my personal favorite and the espresso martini 9/10. These drinks were inexpensive and a delight! If you are just coming for a show and a drink-they definitely make it worth your while. For appetizers we had the house-made meatballs with whipped ricotta. They gave us two giant meatballs to split. I think the sauce/ricotta definitely makes this dish complete 7/10. We also got the autumn salad which had roasted squash, pomegranate seeds, and a house vinaigrette. We thought this was way too overdressed but still tasted good 5/10. Lastly, for appetizers, we got the clam chowder soup. I'm not even a big clam chowder fan and I really enjoyed the flavor of this 8/10. For entrees we had the sausage and broccoli rabe pasta. They do not skimp on the portions here. This dish was so filling and the sausage was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed it but thought it may of had a bit too much salt 7/10. For our other entree, we got the lobster ravioli. These were house made ravioli's with giant pieces of lobster inside. This was definitely worth the $31 and was the star dish of the night 9/10. Next time I come back I would happily watch a show, get a drink, and maybe even try their chicken parm (cause that also looked delicious!). Food: 8/10 Affordability: 6/10 Ambiance: 9/10

    The ambience of this restaurant is quite stunning and they also have a massive bar area which we prefer to sit at but this night, we choose a big comfy booth. Our waitress (Jess) was very nice and helpful with recommendations as we were deciding on the steak for 2 at $55, she recommended a wine that complimented the steak but it was going to be more expensive than we wanted to pay so we stayed with our original bottle order. The steak (which was recommended for 2), I could have eaten the whole thing by myself and it came with a few asparagus spears, I asked for bread on the side because I wanted a carb with the steak and feel for $55 it should have come with something - at least bread at the table. Never under estimate how much a woman can eat! When we were leaving, I wanted to use the ladies room as we don't live anywhere near this restaurant and there was a band playing and when i walked into the room a woman asked me for a pass or something and I said, I'm just using the ladies room. The band sounded great and that room was FULL so they must have a good following.

    Shrimp scampi
    Marni M.

    Grateful for a date with my sister after making reservations on a Friday night at 6 pm. By the time it hit 6:30, the establishment was pretty full. Hostess gave me a hard time about checking in for the Yelp Elite event and seemed annoyed that my name was not tracked on their printed list. However, our waitress made up for it by being spectacular and amiable throughout our meal. My sister and I shared their house bread and an order of mussels. The dipping oil was great and warm bread would have made it all the better. We demolished the mussels which came in a well seasoned broth and two slices of Texas toast style bread used for dipping. For entrees, my sister ordered the chicken Parmesan while I had the shrimp scampi. Both entrees had plenty of flavor served fresh from their kitchen, but I found that the pasta was a little too al dente from what I prefer. As leftovers heated up, I'm sure it won't be a problem by then. The lovely and accommodating owner Charlie and daughter came to greet our table. Along with providing us drinks, he offered both the tiramisu and pistachio cheesecake on the house. Personally, tiramisu was a little on the dry side but tasted good nonetheless. Pistachio cheese cake was subtle in taste and not overly sweet. Overall, wonderful experience and even better staff other than the not so welcoming hostess. Music was lively and decorations were one of a kind created by the owner and his son themselves. Bathrooms were also impeccably clean. Will absolutely return and highly recommend for those curious.

    I am giving this a 4 star because it's a bar and restaurant combined so take that into consideration. Made reservations at 7pm and I was a part of Yelp Elite so we got VIP service. Ordered scallop special and premier chicken. They were generous and offered us an order of Archini balls as apps and it started the night off great. One of the best archini balls we've ever had and the sauce was *chefs kiss* they were a generous size too Scallops entree was 4 scallops but I thought they were quite small for only having 4 on the plate at a price point of $32. Delicious flavoring but not filling for sure. Premier chicken was good but nothing special. Very good portions though. Drinks were fantastic! Didn't skimp on the alcohol at all. Overall for a bar and restaurant, very good. Lots of tables and even a stage area but doesn't start until probably 9-9:30. The place starts to get crowded after 8 so be careful of your timing OH! Lastly cheesecake was phenomenal. Not house-made but one of the best I've ever had.

    Butternut squash ravioli
    Angel P.

    I went on a Friday night and it was busy. The menu on the website was not updated, so I didn't order what I planned to. I got the butternut squash ravioli and it was delicious, since everything is good when drenched in brown butter. We got the adam's downfall, banana nut martini and figure it out and all drinks were great with my favorite being the banana nut martini. The bar did take awhile to bring out the second round of drinks as it got busier. Service was great, however we did have to ask for waters as we never got any before the cocktails arrived. There's street parking all around the area. A great addition to the area.

There's an eggplant dip (Oren's eggplant) in the Bay that I have been craving, and now I have something in Cambridge that is just as good if not better.

The fish and chips ($24) was tasty as well -- the chips are really crunchy and the fish was flaky and crunchy, and the sauce was interesting and spicy. Lastly, we got the halva ice cream sundae ($12), which was pretty decent with a lot of crunchy bits. I'm not a big fan of nutty flavors or milky ice cream, so I'm not sure if I'd get it again. There is a 20% gratuity automatically applied (we had 2 people, so I don't think it's due to party size). Service was great -- people kept checking on us and refilling our water. In conclusion, the eggplant chopped not-liver was amazing and it's everything I've been looking for. I'm excited to try more of their offerings.

The interior was dimly lit with exposed brick walls and sports on the TV screens. For drinks, I chose the 1, 2, 3, 4 mocktail. This was one of the best mocktails of my life! The refreshing early grey really balanced out the tangy mango cold foam with tajin. They had a substantial non-alc and low ABV menu, which I love to see. For food, we ordered a bunch of plates to eat family-style. Our server had recommended the Pickled Mushrooms, which I thought were just alright. My favorite item was the Burrata with gooseberries, and the Caramelized Onion Dip was pretty good, as well.

As an extra touch, Chef Steve came out to our table to chat and describe a few of the dishes, which made the experience feel personal. Food highlights: * Firecracker tofu - perfectly fried cubes tossed in a hot-sweet Korean-style sauce; addictive. * Grilled broccoli - smoky, well-seasoned * Butternut squash soup - smooth and flavorful, elevated by roasted, ground squash seeds and a subtle curry note. * Polenta with short ribs - rich and balanced. * Smoked bluefish pâté - excellent texture though a little salty for my taste. Drinks: * Also Fancy - bright and fruity, but not overly sweet. * St. Peter's Bay - think mezcal meets Old Fashioned. * Bonus points: I asked for a custom gin gimlet, and the bartender delivered a fresh, mint-forward version that was amazing. Tall Order is a great neighborhood spot that's doing everything right. We'll absolutely be back.

I ordered the Elly the Elephant and my friend got the Laughing Gull, and we both really enjoyed our drinks. One thing I thought was really nice is that they allow you to grab food from the surrounding restaurants and bring it in to eat there. We didn't end up doing that, but we did get the charcuterie board they had. It came with cheeses, crackers, and some fruit, and you can add meats for $10, which we opted out for. I will say I was a little disappointed by the fruit portion. The menu mentioned fresh fruit, so I expected more than three thin orange slices and one sliced strawberry. HOWEVER, when I asked for more strawberries, our waiter kindly brought out a whole bowl for me, which I really appreciated. We stayed for about two hours, and as the night went on the place definitely got more crowded, so we headed out. Overall, this is such a cute and cozy cocktail bar.

    Had such a fun girls catch up at darling in Cambridge! Best restaurant I've tried in a while…read more Lively mysterious vibes, creative drinks, and good food! The colossal shrimp was my favorite - massive and grilled to perfection. The dumplings were my friend's favorite. We both enjoyed our drinks especially the "hope I packed a parachute" which was topped with taro foam! Will be coming back for a date night and to try the HK french toast cocktail for sure. Make sure to snag a reservation early :)

    I've been looking forward to trying Darling for a while, and I see why everyone is raving about it!…read moreThey had an interesting and varied drink menu, with combinations and ingredients I hadn't seen before. It was hard to choose one, but I got the A Perfect Circle and it was quite tasty. I'm eager to try some of their other drinks, since the cocktails were definitely the highlight of the experience for me. The dim sum portions were larger than I expected, which meant we ordered way too much food. We had the fried chicken, the cucumber salad, the shrimp, the pork wontons, the soy sauce noodles, the daikon/enoki dish (I forget the name) and the charred broccoli. There wasn't anything I didn't like, but I did find that the flavor profile seemed very similar for many of the items--it seemed like most things were topped with a generous portion of chili oil, scallions, and sesame seeds. I found that this contributed to a fairly uniform flavor experience and was getting a little weary of chili oil after several dishes. The food was also spicier than I anticipated (though to be fair, I have a low spice tolerance, so others might disagree.) I would have enjoyed some less spicy options to balance out our meal. Overall, all the food was good, though, but I think if I come back I'd get fewer items (3-4 would have been plenty for 2 people) and that might also help with everything blurring together. The service was great and our waitstaff was helpful and attentive.

    We came to wusong road on a trip up to Boston after getting the recommendation from a friend who…read morecomes here every time they visit. Funny enough when we visited my friend was also in town that weekend and by happenstance we happened to get to the restaurant at the same time. I would definitely make reservations because I did not realize you would need a reservation for a Wednesday night, but we did. Luckily we were able to give our name and they had a cancellation and were able to be seated within 20 to 30 minutes. The upstairs is pretty cool. I really like the decor. One of my favorites was these monkey lamps they had. The food was pretty good and we had gotten a slider for my son which basically filled him up. My wife and I split a poo poo platter and got an appetizer and that was enough for us. The drinks were really good. We had gotten a few to try. I like my first one and really enjoyed my second one. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and she made one and then when we went for our second round she did say she was new to the job so I went with something I knew I would like. They also sell some of their mugs which is a cool bonus. If your into tiki drinks definitely pick up a wusong road branded mug when you stop by. We got two.

    Fusion mostly done well. Especially liked the chicken skewer, lotus dumplings, fried rice, and the…read moremeat in the beef noodles (though the noodles were more meh). The misses weren't that bad either, just not to my taste, mostly in the direction of too sweet. I enjoyed the mugs that the drinks are served in, but the drinks were pretty sweet (even the ones rated as less sweet). An experience for sure!
