You know how in some restaurants you see the customers and they put salt on their food before they…read moreeven taste it? I think the chef is one of those people, because I had the muscles today and it was so salt forward. I mean it was dangerously full salt, but I was so hungry that I ate it anyway and then I told the waitress I said I should not even complain because I ate the dish however they should watch out for the salt. She said it's one of the most popular dishes and people like it that way . The restaurant decided to be gracious enough and swap that off of my order and let me get something else instead, but I was already full, so I took home a salad. Hours later, I figured it would be nice to have something refreshing after all that salt. I'm eating the salad and something crunchy and it's not the normal crunch. So I decide to like look into the lettuce and I see dirt. Especially now with everything going on around lettuce I am beyond shocked. I tried to call the restaurant granted it was dinner time but no answer so I called the sister company in another city and they said they would have the manager reach out to me which never happened . What surprised me as well as the manager from the sister location said he finds this surprising because the lettuce comes in triple washed, and they wash it themselves. All I could say to that is maybe open up the lettuce leaves and rinse them or open your eyes. So I'm putting it out there, I would like my money back, but since you can't answer the phone or own up to any responsibility, I'm leaving this message for you because I get a lot of hits on my reviews and I'm gonna tell people do not eat at this place unless your taste buds are completely dead and you just need salt and dirt survive. PS the ambience is so dark. It's decorated nicely, but they definitely need more light can barely read the menu.. Update, Stewart the owner wouldn't take my call, but they did issue a refund .

The service was excellent, waitstaff would check periodically to make sure everything was okay! We order pretty much all appetizers and that was enough to fill our palate and did not even have to order entrees. The apps were like regular meals! The food was delicious and filling! We had Hummus, Tzatziki ,Calarmari, lamb beyti & chicken kebabs , steamed mussels and chopped salad with shrimp! The home made Pita was nice and warm and cut so you can dip it into the hummus and Tzatziki. We also used the pita to dip into the Mussels sauce too! Everything was cooked to perfection! Prices were very reasonable $$ We would definite come again! You should also try theie other restaurant in Waltham & Needham, they are also very good!

I find it quite odd that Punch's is on Yelp. But I'm not concerned because there is no way anyone…read morecould locate it without asking the police or some random girl on campus wherein you would immediately be labeled a creepster and probably flagged for removal. So please, unless you're invited, don't go bumbling around campus searching for the 'sexy and sleek' Wellesley pub, there's no neon sign and no singles night. In case you don't know if I'm talking to you I made this handy list. If don't fit into one of these categories, you probably shouldn't be at Punch's Alley on any given night. A) A Wellesley student. B) A Wellesley alum less than 35yr old, single, and a les. C) A college student from MIT/Harvard/BU/Brandeis/BC/Berklee etc who came to campus for a reason other than the pub and then found himself/herself there by happenstance. D) A boyfriend/girlfriend/friend of a Wellesley student, with an invite to meet them at the pub. E) A musician with a gig at Punch's Alley. F) A guest lecturer or attendee at a lecture/movie/panel discussion that took place on campus and you're there only before 9pm. G) A campus employee who just wants a quick drink before heading home. That should pretty much sum it up. I'm not an anti-man or anti-visitors, but for serious - Punch's is not the spot to be unless you're wearing sweats and fresh off a 12 hour caffeine filled library sesh. I'm only a couple years out and there is no way I'd go there. I wish I didn't have to assign stars to it - it's more like 5 stars if you fit into the list above and 0 if you don't.

We Iived in the neighborhood years ago, and would walk to Dunn's especially when we thought I could remodel the kitchen and were without it for six months. The place and service is a 5. The cheesy potato wedges as an app was awesome. The seafood cakes are excellent and a good value. The meatloaf is a little bland and the accompanying broccoli was tough and I didn't finish it. The mash potatoes and gravy are always excellent. The food doesn't seem to be as differentiated as in the past. Overall, Dunn's is a wonderful experience!
