    Egg wrap sans potatoes...
    Lindsey A.

    Okay, why is this place so cute and tiny? I love it. Before I even ordered I knew it was going to be perfect. There are so many options and it's a little overwhelming considering how small it is in there! I stopped by before getting my hair done around the corner and was feeling breakfasty at 2pm, so I went for an egg wrap. I chose bacon, egg, avo, a little cheddar...with hot sauce. Wondering if I should have said yes to the home fries in there, too...probably. But. MAN, that thing was good. It just tasted fresh and simple and was so delicious. I was so sad to see homemade corned beef hash AFTER the fact. I definitely will be back to try that! There were also lots of lunch choices and they carry Downeast Coffee, too (hey, Pawtucket!). I'll for sure be back again!

    Our first day's breakfast spot had great food, very friendly staff (including Rick). It's really a take-out place, but there are a couple of high bar seats inside and a couple of tables out on the sidewalk. The regulars in the area frequent this somewhat hidden gem which can be told by the constant and hilarious banter between the regulars and the staff. When down by the Cruise ship docks this is one of two spots to definitely eat at.

    Breakfast wrap

    I found Rick's On a cold rainy morning. He cooked up an amazing wrap from his tiny little hole in the wall kitchen. The menu options all looked great. Ricks 11 a café is an amazing find. When back in Boston I will be sure to be back.

    Steak egg and cheese wrap with a lot of home fries inside
    B C.

    Was excited to try after these reviews but had a pretty subpar experience. Got a $11 steak egg and cheese wrap from Grubhub. No mention that there was home fries in the wrap on the description (which is something I don't prefer). Wrap arrived and you can see from the photo - it's basically all home fries. Please, Rick's, update the description so folks know what to expect

    Delicious sandwiches at a family owned cafe. The service is outstanding with the sandwiches are well proportioned for the money being spent.

    I ordered the brussel sprouts, grilled chicken sandwich and a salmon sandwich…read more All of the food was average, nothing was over the top. The brussel sprouts were not good as it tasted like someone put an entire lemon on them. It was also outrageous to charge an 18% service charge and a 3% admin fee on food that I picked up from the restaurant. I have no idea why you have to pay over 20% in fees for food that you are taking to go. I would not recommend dining here.

    Rating: 3.5 Stars…read more Lifted is on the fifth floor of the OMNI Hotel. My friend and I stopped by around 8 PM on a Wednesday night. We went up to the hostess stand and were seated right away. Our server came by and was very friendly. However, as the night went on the service became quite slow. It took a lot of time for our food to come out and to get our to-go boxes as well. For a drink, I ordered the PINA-NO-LADA. It is basically a virgin pina colada. Very delicious and they added some nice cherries on top. For the food we shared: -CEVICHE: Great flavor and very fresh octopus. Went well with the tortilla chips it came with. -SHRIMP SCAMPI: The pasta was cooked perfectly as were the shrimp that were big and juicy. However, the sauce was overly acidic. There was way too much lemon in it. I do also wish they had more than just 4 shrimp on top of a $30 bowl of pasta. -BRUSSEL SPROUTS: Was good brussel sprouts. All in all, while the food was pretty good (with some hit or miss elements), it is such an expensive meal especially for the portion and service you are getting.

We got the Thai chicken meatballs which were seasoned well and had the perfect amount of spice for the coconut green curry sauce. Their beet salad was also good, the shaved fennel and avocado really helped. For our mains, we got the cider brined Berkshire pork chop and the organic chicken. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, had a good sear/crust was juicy, really my favorite. The chicken was also delicious well, not dry and seasoned well. For dessert we had the orange cream pie which was the perfect finisher.

    Tl/dr: not bad but nothing super special…read more Loved: - The chic interior and upscale vibe. - The attentive service (esp w respect to allergies). - What I'm sure is a beautiful view of the water from our table when the sun doesn't set at 5p. But the food is just ok. The 3 of us ordered 2 pastas (one entree size, one app size), and 4 or 5 apps and nothing was impressive. The pappardelle w bolognese was the highlight for me. The lemon ricotta ravioli was borderline cold by the time I cut into it which was really odd. The mozzarella was forgettable, but the pork belly was solid. The scallops that were on special were the itty bitty kind and just ok - mostly overwhelmed by whatever breading they were covered in. The best part was probably the deserts - I had the creamy Nutella something or other - and was really upset when I got to the airport in the morning and realized I left it in the hotel fridge /sad face. Crème brûlée was on point. If nothing else, their pastry chef is 100 on the land/sea/sky.

The reservation process was easy and a group of 5 was easily accommodated on the day and time requested. We arrived together after a short walk from the office. Bonus points to Moooo for not only having complimentary coat check, but also safe bag storage knowing much of their clientele on a weeknight is in transit from the office to home. Please people, don't forget to tip the coat check girls, it is only the right thing to do. Seated at our table the restaurant was initially fairly empty, but filled up nicely while we are already enjoying cocktails, wine, and appetizers. The long bar followed by tables of various sizes filled the restaurant, but it never was too loud and there was plenty of space between tables that you did not feel like you were sitting on top of each other or listening to their conversation more then the person across from your own table. Like most fine dining experiences, the complimentary rolls were served warm and lathered in melted butter. Sinful!. We ordered several appetizers for the table to share including tuna tartare which was very tasty and recommended. I also recommend the Japanese wagyu beef dumplings which were both delicate and savory. Lastly, the calamari was crispy and hot with the right amount of heat from the lemon and herb aioli. To accompany the entrees we ordered the broccolini, Yukon gold potatoes and the highly recommended tater tots. The only issue we had was with the tots which we collectively thought were both slightly over cooked and tasted "different". Said another way, I have never had a tater tot that didn't leave me wanting to eat them one after another until they were all gone, but this one was more than enough and more than 3/4 of the serving was left for the bus-person. Three of us ordered the 8oz Omaha filet which were cooked to perfection and delicious. Why is there not a 12 oz offering like most steak houses? Literally mine looked like it was 4 oz on the large, stark white plate when served. Thankfully being cooked to a perfect medium rare and accompanies by a bordelaise sauce which is also a rarity to find offered, was a treat. The prime New York sirloin and prime ribeye were equally cooked perfectly and delicious. We passed on dessert or after dinner drinks, but certainly enjoyed our visit. I have eaten at the Beacon Hill location previously, but this was my first experience in the seaport, but it won't be my last.

The Seaport space is just as stunning--decked out in pink, super aesthetic, and definitely a fun, photo-worthy vibe. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to expectations. For drinks, I ordered a pitcher margarita with jalapeño, and it was disappointing. It didn't taste fresh and came across more like artificial jalapeño flavoring rather than real infusion--and it wasn't spicy at all. For food, we ordered a variety of small plates to share. Everything was decent, but nothing really stood out. It felt a bit underwhelming compared to the atmosphere. The biggest issue was the service. It was very slow throughout the night, and getting the check was especially frustrating--it took about 30 minutes, and we had to ask multiple times before finally receiving it. Overall, the ambiance is beautiful and perfect for a celebration, but the drinks and service didn't match the vibe. Hoping this was just an off night.
