    Roasted Cabbage
    Rachel B.

    Really cute spot.. we came before a concert, and it was actually a "pre concert meet up bar" but they were not prepared. They had 1 bartender and their menu has complex cocktails, it just wasn't going to work. The espresso martinis were great and so was the food. I enjoyed the cabbage.

    I like the bright ambiance of the location.  Perfect for a sunny winter afternoon.

    I stumbled on this place for Sunday brunch while attending a track meet at the New Balance facility. They have music and a really good brunch menu. The place is bright and airy. The bartenders are very nice and attentive. I sampled the house wings and their chicken and waffles. Both were very good. The bartender informed me that they had just started with these Sunday events. Looking around at the people coming in, we'll dressed and positive, it looks like a hit for Sundays. Best success to them. Additionally, if you're a young man of sophistication and want to meet like minded women, this Sunday brunch is a good spot. It's not often I stumble on a sleeper spot, especially when I'm not even looking but this was a pleasant surprise. Happy Black History month. 02/15/2026

    Went here before the Disclosure show; had their wings and burgers. Definitely got busy in the night, fries were good, not sure if they got a 1.0 where I could of just got a classic burger.

    Cosmo

    Came here for a birthday party in their event room space. We got there early so we started with a drink at the regular bar. I ordered a Cosmo which was delish! The meal for the party was buffet style and everything was AMAZING. The salad with candied walnuts and Roquefort cheese was a great start. The chicken was moist, the Mac and cheese was very tasty and the steak tips were tender. I didn't have high expectations of this place based on other reviews but I would definitely head back. I am not sure if the catering menu is available on the normal menu but I do hope so because everything was great!

    Never been to their South Bay location but this new location in "Boston Landing" (Allston / Brighton area) was pretty nice. Grabbed a drink beforehand next door at Broken Record Beer Hall to pregame after looping around a few times in the plaza to find some street parking (there was a sold out concert the Saturday my friends and I went). There are also multiple garages with $20 pricing. Food was good (upscale seafood restaurant so prices are a little high). Staff was very friendly. Restaurant is new so very clean / modern. The restaurant itself is not that big so recommend making reservations ahead of time. I'd suggest making adding some more options to the dessert menu to make it more interesting.

    Lemon sorbet

    This restaurant is OUTSTANDING! Hands down one of the best meals I've had in Boston in a while. First off, service was great. Every person was so nice and checked in often. We started with two of the house cocktails which were both beautiful and tasted great. We shared a lobster bisque which came with unreal croutons and had tons of lobster pieces in it, and was the perfect size to share for an app for two. I had the spaghettini for my entree & my BF got the seafood rice. Both had amazing flavor and were unlike anything I've tried. Such a unique twist on your classic seafood restaurants. I can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu! And to top it all off I got this cute birthday card & a scoop of lemon sorbet which was so thoughtful!

    The Pearl restaurant open a new location in Allston, great food & wait staff. Restaurant decoration was marvelous w/ high booth table and bench. Definitely would come back to this restaurant and share this with my friend Hi Winder

    Spaghettini

    Amazing food every thing was delicious, great atmosphere and friendly staff! I had a dinner for my birthday and the food was incredible. The waitress was extremely accommodating and decor is very sheik down to the fabulous scented lotion in the restrooms. Highly recommended!

    Food is fine, but we waits 2 hours for food, 30 mins for drinks. Manager treated me like it was my fault and that I should be grateful.

I would go back just for that - crispy + slicing with scissors adds a whole other feel to it. I feel in control of my flatbread. Calamari was good but I'd choose the flatbread over anything. Can't go wrong with fig, goat cheese, and prosciutto. Emma didn't like the dill on there but I didn't mind. Enjoyed with a nice glass of white wine while we dined outside.

Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, but it's super convenient to get to via the Green Line, which made it easy overall. For food, everything was delicious: The Romaine & Kale Caesar was good, though I wish it had whole anchovies for a little extra punch. The prosciutto bruschetta was incredible, definitely a standout. The crispy cauliflower was my favorite dish of the night, so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The rigatoni bolognese was solid and comforting. The Chianti-Marsala braised beef short rib was insanely tender and cooked perfectly (just wish there were a few more mushrooms!). Also have to mention the dirty martini was so good. Overall, such a great spot with a fun vibe, amazing service, and really tasty food. I'll definitely be back!

    Got the Italiana. It had Prociutto, stracciatella, sun dried tomatoes, arugula, and pistacio cream…read more The sweet and creaminess from the pistachio cream, the saltiness from the prosciutto, and the arugula and sundried tomatoes helped by preventing it from being too heavy. I thought everything was quite balanced. The sandwich was about $21. Which I thought was reasonable because it was big enough to feed two people. There werent much of a wait when I was there, so service was quick. You order at the counter and they make your sandwich. Just tell them what you want and Bada Bing, Bada boom: you got your sandwich in a couple of minutes. They have seating inside and out. It was a nice day so my gf and I decided to do a picnic outside on the grass at the Boston Common. Nothing like enjoying a nice sandwich and watching all the sketchy weirdos walking around.

    The hype has died down and there is no longer a 40 minute line every day. The standard has now…read moredropped from "will it change your life" to "is it a good sandwich?" Yes. It is a good sandwich. It's a pretty great sandwich, actually. I like the Boss, but there are many great options. There are just two things to keep in mind: 1) it's relatively expensive (though doable) 2) the sandwiches are quite rich and salty, often relying on a flavorful cream element (truffle cream, pistachio cream, etc.) As a result, I probably wouldn't go every day or even every week. But a once-a-month cadence or so would be great. Try it!

    Charles River Bread Co. (not to be confused with the world's largest supplier of mice - Charles…read moreRiver Co.) has replaced D'Angelo's and damn if that's not a good thing then I don't know what is. You can build your own and they also have 10 or so specialty sandwiches with local-themed names like Brookline Portobello and Allston Asiago. These are prepared on one of a few types of excellent fresh bread and come with a pickle and a small bag of Cape Cod chips - all for just over 6 dollars. The Charles River Gondola one I had was really good on crusty french baguette. A return visit is being scheduled.

    I like this addition to the GSU (George Sherman Union) for all you non BU-ers. The bread is…read morefresh/high quality and you have choices like baguette, whole wheat chibatta and more. They started doing more soups and salads too now so you can do a 1/2 soup or salad and 1/2 sandwich. Their sandwiches are generously portioned (read can be two meals if you are on a college budget like me) It's a little over 6 for the sandwich (or 1/2 and 1/2) with your choice of apple or small bag of Cape Cod Chips. I always get pretty much the same- garlic oil, fresh mozzarella, tomato, and basil. It's a great sandwich- although once in a while their basil is not fresh. You can choose to get it grilled or not. The wait is usually 5-10 minutes, but at least the ordering system (pen and paper) means that I've never had an error with my sandwich. More fast moving places should do this I think. Anyway, you can choose all sorts of things here really- there are lots and lots of options, which is what we all want in our over personalized, individualistic society, right? :)
