Just gross inside. Food is mediocre. There's plenty of bars with better services on the same street

Not the type of bar I would normally go to, but hanging with the locals and living it up with my friends was grand.

This is a no nonsense boozer. People are very friendly here and, best of all, they let me take my dog in. Buy!

The Playwright - Crispy Mozzarella

Came here for dinner for the first time with a couple of friends. Hubby and I ordered their…read morebuffalo loaded fries, a spicy chicken burger, pressed veggie melt, and a couple of drinks. Total came out to approximately $80 (not including tip). What's Hot - Menu. Pretty good variety. There's something for everyone, including vegans (for the most part). Specifically for vegans, they do not appear to have vegan cheese. They recently added loaded fries to their menu. - Quality. We tried their buffalo loaded fries, which definitely a good kick of spiciness. There was a good amount of buffalo mozzarella cheese and chicken. Their fries are slightly crispy on the outside, soft and tender on the inside. I really enjoyed my pressed veggie sandwich. There were whole veggies, such as broccoli, with a good amount of cheese melted between all the veggies. I liked that it was not a mashed patty. The sourdough bread was not tart (which I prefer), soft, and not too greasy. No skimping on the ingredients either. Their mozzarella bites appetizer is good, not overly breaded, and cheesy/stringy. All of us enjoyed our meals. - Service. We showed up without reservations on a Friday night when it was cold and rainy, and they were able to seat us right away. We tried several other restaurants before getting here, and we would have had to wait at least one hour, because we did not have reservations, even though those restaurants clearly had open tables. Our waitress was helpful. She answered all questions she had and was able to provide us contextual helpful info (i.e., what she's tried from the menu, what she liked and why, flavor level, etc...). She paid attention to detail. One of our friends hates pickles and specifically asked for no pickles with his burger. This may seem like a minor detail, but if a staffer cannot pay attention to detail in the service industry, that is not a good indication. - Price. Good value for money, especially given the quality of food and portions. - Portions. Good amount and enough to get one full on one dish. - Location. Conveniently located in downtown Boston around many other shops and restaurants. - Layout. At the front, there's a pretty large bar area, including high tables and chairs, with booths and smaller tables towards the back. They appear to be able to accommodate large groups and smaller parties, including individuals. What's Not - Acoustics. It's pretty loud inside and sound carries very easily, so it's difficult to carry a conversation. Final Answer Worth returning.

Some nice bartenders but that's where it ends. The food is fine but as soon as the southie kids…read moretake over, no one cares about you.

They told me I had to order my latte through their window outside even after sitting down but I didn't mind, just found it odd. Food was also just okay. Nothing stood out to me unfortunately, not even the coffee. I'll have to come back and try them again!

What we ordered: -Cocktails 5/5; great variety on the menu but modern lover was for sure my favorite. -Arancini balls 4/5; so good we got a second round but I took a point off because they are tiny. Crispy and came with a great mayo-based sauce. -Lobster gnocchi 4/5; basically a lobster bisque with gnocchi added in however the sauce was slightly boring and heavy...Great amount of lobster though. -Pasta alla vodka 4/5(guest rating); good portion, good sauce with a mild spice to it. You can ask them to turn up the spiciness if you're feeling adventurous. -Burger; my guests enjoyed it but did not give me a rating. I did try the fries and they were very crispy and flavorful. -Fig and prosciutto pizza 4/5; crust was perfectly crispy and full of flavor and the fig added the perfect sweetness to a savory meal, however there were a ton of greens on top and not a lot of prosciutto. We had a great time and are planning to come try out their brunch!
