    In all the years that Salvatores has been there, we had never been. I know I am not a fan of Sal's pizza, but thought we would try the restaurant at the Lawrence location. A very nice gentleman (who I believe was the owner) brought us to a booth and said thank you so much for coming to the restaurant. I thought that was a very nice touch. Not many people say that when seating you. We were looking at the menu but had a hard time as the words were small and the lighting not too good. I decided on Chicken Piccata and my husband Chicken Parmesan. We also ordered Arancini. The bread came and it was almost like a sourdough stick that was sliced. I thought it was pretty interesting. The arancini came and was three small balls in a soup bowl with sauce. I took one and it tasted. It was fried in DIRTY grease no doubt and tasted horrible. After a LONG while our dinners came. Mine was 2 chicken cutlets with a lot of Piccata sauce that appeared to be jarred and a LOT of capers. Most importantly, the Rigatoni was literally raw. I did not eat it , nor did my husband and the waitress never asked why she was taking full portions back to the kitchen at the end of the meal. My husband did like the chicken in his Chicken Parm and the sauce. The atmosphere was less than desirable, no candles on the table and pretty quiet in there. When you wait an excessive amount of time for your food, you notice this. Pretty bad the highlight of my meal was the bread. When we got the bill, we noticed the prices for cash were different than the prices for credit card. We asked the waitress why the prices on their online website were different than the prices in the restaurant. She said she did not know why???..Another turn off. FYI, a good way to turn off people from returning to your establishment is to nickel and dime them for credit card fees.....This is so SMALL when a business does this. Without credit cards restaurants are out of business. They advertise prices online that are much LOWER than the prices you will be charged at the restaurant. They should be rolling the credit card fees into the prices of the food. The next thing they should do is make food people can actually eat.....Raw pasta isn't one of them.

    Another delicious dinner at Salvatore's. Not only great food, but a staff who cares about your experience. Highly recommend. If the parking lot is full, check to be sure that there are dining room options. There is are function rooms and could be dining tables available.

    This is supposed to be risotto. It was the worst. Bland, cooked awful and no figs. Enjoy.

    Food is disgusting. The owner talks his way out of EVERY bad review that is posted online. The night I went the owner wasnt even there and he responded to my negative review blaming me and said my post was old and I was hateful. Not true. My food was awful and the service was awful. It is what it is. That's my experience! #bekind #takecriticism

    Amazing Bread !

    Food was good and portions were plentiful. A little disappointing in the taste of the Garlic bread and the beef stroganoff.

And we interacted with neighboring tables on both sides to recommend (when asked) the oysters, and when one received a drink with a big smoke bubble that created a magical flow of smoke when it burst. French inspired drinks and food were fantastic and interesting. The French 75 menu was so interesting-- choose your flavor and your bubbles. I tried two, the classic with rosé was so pretty, and the honey lavender with base level champagne was delicious. The raw oysters were to die for! Perfect little pop of acidity with other flavors delicately added and perfectly balanced. The oysters Rockefeller were also perfectly delicious. The foie gras is not something I would normally eat, but my boyfriend loves that stuff so we went with it. I enjoyed it more than he did. It was not a classic foie gras, it was smoother with a creamier texture and more buttery flavor. Eating it with the fig jam and "light as clouds" toast made it absolutely delicious! I enjoyed every minute and mouthful--would definitely seek this place out again even though I live an hour away! We enjoyed ourselves too much to take pictures!

Somehow they manage to make it feel both healthy and a little decadent. We also love the flatbreads and deserts, and the chicken sandwich and burgers have been great as well - really can't miss. The only thing really missing is a few more solid vegetarian protein options - it would be wonderful to be able to get a grilled tofu steak on that Asian Quinoa Salad. Service is fantastic - you enter from the patio side (steps up front and ramp along back of the patio). These guys are well and professionally staffed and we've always been met and seated quickly. All of our servers have been knowledgeable and helpful in making selections. They have regular tables, high tops, bar seating and outdoor tables. There are dedicated water bowls for anyone who brings a pup (outdoors only) and the dogs I've seen have been well behaved and adorable. We've never brought our dog, but he's still greeted and admired by staff as we pass by on a walk. That really says all you need to know about the wonderful people. Parking is in the lot right out front surrounding the small High Street courtyard or on the street. The dining patio overlooks that same courtyard. All in all a great combination of good food and a nice but casual atmosphere.

She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced without ever rushing us. The drinks were well-crafted and delicious. We loved the crab cakes and wings as appetizers -- the crab cakes were so generous they could easily be a full meal. For dinner, we both had the Brix Burger, cooked perfectly with a great char and tons of flavor. I love the cozy vibe while still being able to watch the game. Even when it gets busy, the service stays excellent. The whole staff is friendly and attentive. We can't recommend Brix Grill enough -- and if you go, ask for Evelyn!

    Reasonably okay lunch spot but dinner wasn't great. I will give them credit, they are trying... but…read morethe cocktails with a burnt piece of rosemary for a "smoked" flavor were absolutely terrible (first time in my life I didnt finish a cocktail). It was like drinking liquid used to extinguish a burning christmas tree. (also this was paired with a fruity pink drink....not really a great combo) Dinner was overall fine but nothing really to right home about, crab cakes were great but the fried calamari had zero salt on it and was a bit chewy. The chicken florentine wasn't bad but it was not a thinly pounded or sliced piece of chicken that was pan fried....it was a whole breaded chicken breast that was deep fried. The service was good but it didnt make up for the food being just okay.

(Ok, we come to get W45T3D but whatever.) At this point the bartender knows to expect us and even asked my boyfriend where we were when he arrived an hour before us last week. She said she thinks we're "fun". We ARE the party. Duh. They have everything a bar should have: Cheap beer on tap, hard liquor for shots (Jager bombs anyone?), and a jukebox. That's pretty much all it takes to keep me happy. There are usually a few old townies drinking in the corner when we show up but after we take over the music situation they either pack up and head out or sit back and enjoy the show. We take this place over. And lately we've been bringing more people with us every time -- Because seriously, what else is there to do on a Tuesday night? I've come a couple times on the weekends. It's usually PACKED with "bro's" and college kids. All set. I'll stick to week night drinking :)

They have a a large out door patio that is perfect to knock back a few cold ones under the night's sky or during a nice summer day. They also allow smoking on the patio, if your into that. They have a large parking spot but it's not paved so you have to drive on a dirt and small pebbles. The piece is extremely affordable. The popcorn machine is a cool added benefit. The music box is cool but they people that chose the music suck. It's my go to bar in this area. Not really sure how the re-review works but tonight is was a cool night to come here. They have a live music DJ. Paying good drinks jams and at a volume that is not over baring. They have that sand bag game on the out door patio so that's cool to drink and play with friends. The hot fresh popcorn is a plus. Glad I found this local bar. The parking lot is still not paved and have made zero progress in doing so so that still sucks.
