Surf & Turf

Sunday Afternoon, I'd say about 1/2 the tables were occupied, sit were you want. Our waitress was a very pleasant young woman, she could not have been nicer, answered all of our questions. Overall service was excellent in all respects. Food was hot and served fast. Everything was tasty with generous portions. I would have given 5 stars but my "steak" was not quite as expected. It was a very thin piece of beef, cooked well done, I had ordered "medium". It would be hard for the steak to be anything but well done given how thin it was. The steak was surprisingly chewy but when you combine everything on the plate, it was still a delicious meal.

Let me say the food is not too bad, but not my favorite. For me personally I would give at least a 3.5 , but thought they deserved more than a 3. Likes and dislikes Likes: affordable prices, especially for Portuguese food! The steak is huge and juicy! Fries are crispy and delicious. The waitresses and women who have opened and maintained this place are so nice. Dislikes: The food selection could be a little bit better, come on a Portuguese restaurant they doesn't have a lot of Portuguese soups?? My mom's fish was absolutely disgusting. She was sick to her stomach from the powdery nasty stuff they call "breading". The fish was also bland. Besides all of this me and my dad come back each time because they can make a nice steak and shrimp Mozambique. The place is clean but the furnishings could be improved. I would only come here for the shrimp or steak since those seem to be the best things on the menu.

Awesome

Best Portuguese steak meal in the city. Not much more to say here. Place looks drab. But food is where it's at.

We do try to make a reservation for brunch, as I know there's usually a wait. I will say that the decor in the tipsy is one of its biggest drawers. Whoever is decorating, definitely knows what they're doing! The fireplace at the center of the restaurant is always tastefully decorated for the season. I absolutely love it! I had quite a few other $20 lobster rolls specials this summer. The amount of lobster that they give you for $20, and being able to pick your side is one of the best deals around. Not to mention the quality of the food for the $20. My Caesar salad was absolutely delicious too! The other picture I posted is one of my favorite salads that they used to make with the goat cheese "arancini". I really do miss that side, so hopefully they'll bring a back one day. It was quite the meal!

I ordered the Pumpkin Cold Brew Float which is a non alcoholic drink and got brought an alcoholic chai martini, thankfully I'm not pregnant or sober. The service was our big issue here. When they came they were pleasant however it was clear there just wasn't enough staff. There were two waitresses for the entire restaurant. Outside, upstairs, and downstairs. The gaps in between service were long, waiting for food and drinks was long, and waiting to get our bill was long. We were waiting for over 30 minutes finished with napkins on plates. The table next to us got seated, drinks, food, and was rung out before we were.

My initial visit was on a Monday night when they had all kinds of cheese specials for $10. Including a delicious cheese pizza. However on my second trip I discovered the real value was on their Sunday specials where you get a soup or salad, 1/2 portion of lasagna, a choice of chicken entree and a special pasta. All for $29. Needless to say there were doggie bags coming home with us. Dani our server was a sheer delight and most punctual with her attention to us.

My son especially enjoyed seeing the bridge all lit up at night. The restaurant is spacious with both a bar and dining area. In warmer weather, the outside deck is also an option. Our waiter came almost immediately to take our drink order. The complimentary bread that was warm, doused in a garlic oil ,and sprinkled with Italian seasoning is divine. I could make a meal out of that alone. We started with Italian dusted parmesan fries. Everyone thought these had a striking resemblance to McDonald's shoestring fries, just with way better seasoning. They got scoffed up in a matter of minutes. My son got the kids cheese pizza. It was literally a full size 12 inch (if I had to guess). My daughter got the penne vodka. I thought it was pretty basic but she likes that. I ordered the basil tortellini alfredo and the flavors bursting out of this dish were amazing. The chicken that sat atop the pasta was perfectly grilled as well. We were all very satisfied with our meal and service here and would be happy to come back if ever in the area again.

Today was our first (and not last) visit to The Hamilton Diner. We go there at 11:00am on a Tuesday…read more(day after Labor Day just to keep the metrics in place) and the parking lot was packed. We did, however, find one about 4/5 of the way into it. Entrance way is at the end of a ramp, which I would interpret as a fairly tight squeeze if I was in a wheelchair. However, there was a fellow in an electric wheelchair making his way down the ramp as we were coming up, and we all made it up (and down) easily enough with just a pause. Hostess desk is immediately in the entrance. Very personable lady said it'd be a 25-minute wait, and that was pretty accurate. I gave her my phone number and received a message to download Yelp! including a "Your place in line" feature. Benches to sit and wait - one outside and three inside. We were 4th in line, and then 2nd, and then 1st. I felt a vibration from the phone but saw no message. So I went to the desk to check, and they were ready anyhow with 4 empty tables. Seated us quickly and our waitress Ashley was there in short time. Paula (wifey) ordered some Egg Sandwich and a small order of French Toast. I ordered Southern Benedict, which was a buttermilk biscuits base, topped with a fried chicken patty, 2 poached eggs, and smothered in a creamy sausage gravy, and it came with an order of home fries. We were both very happy with the flavor and portions. In fact I was rather full and didn't eat the last 3 or 4 bites. I also had an iced coffee, which was nice and strong. The place is very much where neighbors and families meet and greet. Lot's of "Norm!!" moments. Pricing if fairly average -- it was (with a 20% tip) $45 for us two. My only complaint had nothing to do with the restaurant, but with adults who don't know how to tell a kid not to do shrill whistling in a restaurant. No more details on that. Again, not the restaurant's fault. We definitely would like to go there again, especially to order some bacon, as that, in my estimation, is a very important factor for breakfast -- I just didn't have any reason for it this time, what with the chicken and the sausage gravy.

Dined with the family at 110 Grill in Fall River, MA yesterday. They take celiac gluten-free…read moreseriously and any dish can be made gluten-free. No gluten ever goes in their fryer. They're a chain all over MA and RI with some NY locations upstate. We opted to dine indoors. Huge location with an open kitchen. Staff very friendly, attentive and keen to please especially with dietary restrictions. Ordered burgers, firecracker shrimp, calamari, sweet potato fries, Brussels sprouts and some Oreo ice cream dessert. Private free parking lot at the mall. Like nearly every restaurant in RI and MA, they've got a loyalty program. Scored a free huge dessert plus $10 off reward. Loved the burger and fries. Sprouts were too salty. Everyone enjoyed their time here. No one rushed us out on a Saturday evening.

The food tasted uninspired, the cauliflower was borderline raw huge chunks, the chicken piccata was watery, the swordfish was half dry half moist?, the fries sat in oil for too long and had no crisp, the steak tips and mashed potato just lack of flavor. The service was super slow ( there was maybe 3 tables and 2 people at the bar), we were there for over 2 hours. I couldn't see myself come back, I'd rather support a local establishment

When you walk in, the hostess greets you and brings you to either side of the restaurant. It is almost two separate areas, each with its own bar and seating. It is a nice layout. They have very comfortable booths with large tables. Our server came over, introduced herself, and took our drink orders. The drinks were generously sized and well made. They have a wide variety of cocktails, beers, and wine. They have an enormous menu with a variety of appetizers, burgers, salads, and entrees. They also have a "specials" sheet featuring rotating specials. We ordered their fried string beans and some Caesar salads to start. Both were very good. My wife had chicken parmigiana for her entree, our friends had salmon and cod, and I had the whole belly fried clam plate (YAY!). The portions were GENEROUS. My wife's chicken parmigiana was enough for three people. Best of all, my order of clams was enormous and perfectly made. I am a complete snob when it comes to fried clams. I rarely get them, and I can say that these were among the best I have had anywhere. Price and value were excellent. We said we would be back, and we made that official. Our second visit was just as good as the first. I had a beautifully prepared Prime Rib and my wife had salmon. Don't be like us and wait 15 years. Give this place a try ASAP.
