Our drinks and food were brought out right away as well as our check at the end. We ordered: 1.) Crispy Brussel Sprouts - 3 stars because ours were almost burnt which gave the brussel sprouts a too charred taste despite the sweet sauce doused on top 2.) Stir Dip Trio - 4 stars - This trio consisted of the spinach dip, buffalo rangoon dip, and street corn dip and was served with fried wonton chips. The chips were the star of the show, very crunchy, just right salty and the perfect pairing for any of the dips. The dips were pretty good. Our favorite was the spinach, then corn then buffalo in that order. To be honest, we came here mostly to try the drinks. The drinks were fantastic as we knew they would be. The food here is mostly American and to be honest, it is pretty basic. We could tell from looking at the menu and then the pictures on Yelp that the food wasn't geared towards our lunch or dinner cravings. But, if you go for drinks and appetizers, Stir is absolutely perfect. In fact, we plan to come back hopefully soon to try out their winter drink and appetizer menu!

The bartenders (I wish I caught their names) were excellent and the drink menu was extremely diverse. Loved the cocktails and the vibes. The menu was outstanding, and the flavors were spot on.

Presentation on the dishes felt a bit lacking and some ingredients on the flatbread we got felt really light, but I know they are switching menus soon so that could account for it. Can't wait to come back for brunch!

It's clear that a lot of thought and testing goes into each new cocktail and dish. The flavors are complimentary with a great deal of depth which really make you appreciate every bite or sip. In addition they take a great deal of care with allergies and most of the items on the menu either are or can be made gluten free. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the Ayer area. Everything on the menu is a hit.

There is a cool bar in the back right of the venue and the bartenders are quick and chill. The sound was very good and it was a great night!!! I would not hesitate to return here for the right show!

Where ambiance Meets Tapas…read more If Hogwarts had a lounge in Acton, it would be Velvet Vine. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is equal parts cozy and enchanting -- dim lighting, chic décor, and just enough buzz to feel alive without being overwhelming. We kicked things off with a Witches Brew that was downright spellbinding -- a drink that could charm even the most skeptical Muggle. The Espresso Martini was pure wizardry: smooth, bold, and guaranteed to keep you wide-eyed through the night. A mixed drink rounded out the trio, each cocktail crafted with flair and a touch of mischief. The food was a playful parade of indulgence: * Tater tots that were crispy little golden spells. * Meatballs that packed a savory punch. * Sliders that were small but mighty, disappearing faster than you can say "Accio burger." * Goat cheese that was creamy, tangy, and downright addictive. * Raviolis that felt like little pockets of happiness. * caramel cheese cake was outstanding The staff? Absolute charmers. Attentive without hovering, quick with drinks, and genuinely welcoming. You get the sense they love being part of the magic here. Velvet Vine isn't just dinner -- it's an experience. Come for the cocktails, stay for the tapas, and leave already planning your next visit!

The night that we moved into town, we celebrated by going out to dinner. We arrived at Silver girl…read more40 minutes before closing, and were informed that the kitchen was already closed. We expressed disappointment, but they then checked with the Kitchen staff and said sure if you order right away we would be happy to serve you. We were thrilled! We ordered drinks and had food, and it was all wonderful. We loved the speakeasy, vibe, the custom cocktails, and the impressive and carefully curated alcohol options at the bar. The service was wonderful and friendly. We thought, oh great, this is going to be our go to place in town, we'll be here frequently! Our next visit was completely different. I called ahead of time to check on availability, mention that we prefer to sit at the bar, and confirm that they do not take reservations at the bar, but that there were tables available. So we had it in. When we arrived, we clearly saw at least four open seats at the bar. But we were informed that those seats were reserved. I mentioned that I had just called to confirm that there were seats available and confirmed that bar seats could not be reserved. Well, that was perplexing. And there was no genuine apology, no mention that they might be sorry about the confusion, let us see what we can do... Ultimately, the hostess, did checked with some folks and found that there was a table that we could have. So we sat down for our meal. The service this night was decidedly different, and we couldn't help feeling like we'd forced our way into a private club that we really weren't welcomed at. That was a few months ago, and we haven't been back since.

The band played just the right rhythm and sound to enhance, but not interrupt, our meal. The food is great for sharing or for hoarding ;). I meant to take a picture of our chocolate dessert but we dug in before I had a chance. We sat at the bar and had great conversation with the bartender/owner and the other guests. The ambience of this quaint jazz bar and restaurant is simply amazing. Would recommend it to anyone in Acton or passing through!

We were promptly seated and our waitress (Darcy) was phenomenal. So kind and attentive. Three is us got the meal deal and everything was delicious. Salad, half entree and mini dessert for 20 dollars is a steal. We all brought home leftovers, so don't worry that the 1/2 order is not enough. It's more than plenty. Especially if you ask for bread-which is served with a(to die for) garlic olive oil for dipping. The cannoli are prepared fresh so the cannoli shells are crisp. We also found the dining room less noisy than in the past. Overall it was a delicious meal and we look forward to going back soon!

The Nashoba Alpine Ski Beach and Tiki Lodge is quite the Massachusetts adventure. Only…read moreMassachusetts would attempt to call something tiki on a small lake fenced off with plastic that normally functions as the end of a ski run. I like to give 5 stars where I can but I do have to agree with 1 of the most common complaints in these reviews: No frozen drinks. I've been to where Tiki drinks started and deciding on or around May 2024 to no longer offer frozen drinks at a "tiki" bar is insane. Either take the label off or buy a blender. Two options costing this establishment just $20 while saving it years of embarrassment and 1 star Yelp reviews. Other than that I had a great time. Nachos were fine, and the salsa was kind of fun, very thick, very dippable. Maybe extra tomato paste? Though it was certainly New England mild. Ham and pineapple pizza was yummy and thematic here at the end of the blue square ski trail #2. Yes there are children here so if that's enough for you to give a 1 star review, go somewhere else. Yes for some reason the wait staff are mostly 19 year old girls which seriously angered a man in the reviews I read. K. Yes a drink is $16, a beer $13 and a pizza $30. But overall you're getting just Massachusetts weirdness turned way up. Worth a stupid adventure. They've got Wormtown on tap. Enjoy it.
