    Creme Brûlée
    Jessie Z.

    This place is amazing! Everything we ate was delicious. The mussels are a must. For our entrees we had the steak frites and a special of the night - Korean short ribs. Both were delicious. Creme brûlée was so good and a wonderful way to end the meal! At first glance prices look high but the portions are huge and well worth it. Great service and a lovely outdoor patio.

    French Onion Soup

    SoOoOo...let me start off by saying I love the original location of Square Cafe in Hingham; the vibe, the ambiance, the food. Everything there is perfect. However, the Hanover location has a completely different vibe, ambiance and atmosphere. It feels like they should have made it a sister-restaurant and named it something else. But at last, I digress... My husband and I came here for dinner during the week. We ordered the bread service and french onion soup to start. We didn't appreciate being nickel & dimed (charged) for the bread & oil as normally that is complimentary at establishments of this caliber. However, it was fantastic. As was the french onion soup! It was rich in flavor but still had a light texture which is ideal for this type of soup. For my entree, I ordered the pan seared scallops. Everything about the meal was excellent. The risotto and citrus salad were perfect compliments to the scallops. I tried a bite of my husband's roasted cod and it was just as delicious as mine. For dessert, we shared the bread pudding as we love it from the other location. Even though it was delicious, I swear it didn't taste as good as the other location, but that's probably just my bias showing ;) I would definitely recommend checking this location out for yourself!

    Recommended by friends and stopped in for dinner. My 3 star rating is the combination of 4 stars for the ambiance, atmosphere and food, "ehh." Restaurant is nicely decorated, clean, well lit and great ambiance. Greeted by hostess friendly and polite. Because it was a nice night, we chose to sit outdoors. Waitstaff was good. Waiter asked if we wanted bread and we said yes. Little did we know, we discovered the bread was not free. $4 chargers for the bread service when we received the bill. We ordered the house made Szechuan pork shrimp dumplings, crispy pork spareribs, Dan Dan noodles for 2 and Caesar's salad with salmon. The dumplings came swimming in chili oil with pork belly. The chili oil was more oil than chili and the pork belly were very tough to chew. The spareribs were also hard to eat, dry but sauce was good. The noodles also swimming in oil and tasted Okay. The Caesar's salad lettuce was a wilted and not fresh. We won't be visiting again any time soon.

    They continue to deliver solid scores from the kitchen. This should be 3 stars due to service and a couple misses on the plates, but I really want this place to succeed as I like the quality of the ingredients and the menu. We were frustrated with the service of our waiter last night as he was just MIA and standing at a computer screen the majority of the night. When he would stop by other tables he would put his head down and just walk right out of the patio without giving anyone an option to even make eye contact. We could have left 30 minutes earlier than we did if he would have come by and packaged up our leftovers and offered us a desert menu. Eventually he got an "excuse me" as he tried to get back to his computer and then we were able to request the leftovers get packaged up and order some dessert. The Steak Frites....Delicious! Cooked perfect and seasoned well. The White Bernaise that came with them was gross though. Truffle Fries to die for and side salad nice and fresh. The Halibut was slightly over cooked as all the edges were hard, but he middle was absolutely perfect. The red curry coconut sauce was on point and the baby bok choy and jasmine rice were the perfect accompaniment. We ordered a coconut cream pie with raspberry sauce and that was delicious as well.

I have told everyone I know about it!! I order the chicken shawarma. Without a doubt one of the tastiest wraps I have ever eaten. I will tell you that when I get it in my head to have one it's not long before I am there getting it. So very tasty!! I actually ordered the chicken shawarma seasoning from Amazon in an attempt to try it on my own. The owner is an awesome guy as is the young man on the grill making all the wonderful sandwiches they offer! Hope they never go out of biz! Please go and give them a try you will not be sorry. I am salivating just thinking about it!

    I had a very disappointing experience at Bow Café in Norwell. The food itself was average at…read morebest--around a 5/10--but what really made this visit stand out was the poor customer service. The woman at the register (short hair) was rushed, dismissive, and frankly disrespectful. When I tried to place my order, she seemed irritated, rolled her eyes when I misspoke, and told me to "stop confusing" her. She also made comments like, "I know you've been to other places--my place is different," instead of helping guide me through the menu. It created a very uncomfortable and tense environment. I left feeling anxious, which is not something you should experience after a simple food order. In contrast, a gentleman working there was kind and professional, which I appreciated. To make matters worse, I was not given a receipt despite asking, and I believe I may have been overcharged. I ordered a Greek salad with added chicken and a chicken shawarma panini, and my total came to $50. My mother's order was supposed to be removed and paid separately, but without a receipt, I have no way to confirm whether that was done correctly. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and unfortunately, this experience fell far short. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works toward creating a more respectful and welcoming environment for customers.

    Hanover has the good stuff!…read more As a Quincy resident we are lucky to have some phenomenal restaurants close by. Hanover is another city that also has some excellent places to dine and 3Brothers Grill is just one of them! Met some girlfriends here just a few days after that nasty blizzard and the reason for mentioning it, parking was tough, but the restaurant was very busy. Upon arrival, the place is very modern and looks brand new. I think our server said they have been there for 2 years now. Same owners as Brothers Roast Beef in Quincy and numerous South Shore cities, which was new information to me. We all had some drinks and then ordered the Buffalo Chicken Dip which was okay. My only complaint is it wasn't whole chicken pieces, it was more of shredded chicken but still not bad. We all ordered salads. I got the Greek Chicken salad which was good. My friends also had salads and there were plenty of leftovers to bring home. I couldn't resist their banana fosters bread pudding! It was delicious. The bar area is perfect to watch sports games with their big screen TVs. I know I will be back for sure sometime. If you are in the area, I highly recommend checking this restaurant out. Cheers~

Fried fish sandwich was exactly what yoiud expect from a non-seafood spot. Points for a really good Brioche bun though. Chix parm sandwich was also excellent. Attention to detail made some run of the mill plates worth their cost. Not expensive, but not sandwich shop prices either . Will def be back when in the area!
