Unfortunately, this place went totally downhill. We used to really enjoy coming here and then we noticed that we were being overcharged Every single time we came in. The food is not edible and and mice running around the bar area when we tried to speak to one of the bartenders/managers Jeane she was rude and not helpful and Marianne the owner who is barely even there was absolutely no help at all. If it wasn't for Bianchis they would have been shut down a long time ago! This place needs to be shut down, especially with mice running around they need to do something ! I will never go to that establishment ever again and neither should you! I am forced to give one star by this website, but it deserves

Grape cool aid
Sarah D.

We enjoyed a couple cocktails at this bar. Like the ambiance. My martini was strong and because of that I gave this bar 3 versus 2 stars. The grape coolaid cocktail was disappointing. We have a go to place back home that makes a similar drinks and puts this one to shame. The other cocktail was on special and made of rum. Husband said the first drink was good but that was it. Pizza was also very basic. I wanted this place to be more than it was but no such luck. Service was also just okay.

The Wedge Salad
David T.

First off let me say- I love the ambiance.. it's a divey beach restaurant/bar. You can order pizza at the counter next door which is within the same building. We ordered half cheese & half sausage, mushroom, onion & olive. The cheese half was great but other half of the pizza wasn't so great. They put artichokes on our pizza and we never asked for any artichokes. The wedge salad was AMAZING!!! The tomatoes were perfect along with the bacon nice and crisp... not burnt. I'd get the wedge salad again. They also make a decent espresso martini.

Espresso martini

Such an amazing experience! The food was wonderful and our waitress was absolutely wonderful. We had the mussels and calamari. Both were divine. Cocktails are also really good! Divine espresso martinis and the punch I highly recommend!

Best salad in the city! Take your time to figure out the process. Be patient. It's all worth it.

Valsos served the most delicious dishes, fresh and perfectly spiced. I literally ate myself into a food coma. The service was a 10 out of a 10. Very accommodating and friendly. And the space is sparkling clean. Highly recommend this gem. I'm already planning my next visit.

The three of us returned here for lunch. We were the first customers, chose a table, and were…read morepromptly given menus. This may be more of a weekday or dinner venue, as we were the only patrons throughout lunch. This tapas-inspired restaurant offers both small plates and entrées. We ordered: * Sophia's Shrimp ($13): Parmesan-breaded shrimp with Colombian tartar sauce. * Beet Salad ($14): Baby arugula, shaved fennel, goat cheese brûlée, lemon-infused vinaigrette, candied walnuts, and crispy shallots. * Ay Caramba ($16): A vegetarian tapa packed with corn, peppers, spinach, mushrooms, and more. * Oriental Salmon Special ($34): Teriyaki-glazed salmon with rice. Reactions were mixed. One diner liked the salmon, and another enjoyed the accompanying rice. I found the salmon a little fishy. The Ay Caramba, the standout dish on our first visit, was prepared differently this time, and we didn't enjoy it as much. One diner thought Sophia's Shrimp was good; another found it too heavily breaded and a little dry. The beet salad was okay, nothing out of the ordinary. Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. However, a loud noise from the bar, apparently from making or crushing ice, continued for several minutes while we were eating. It was disruptive enough that I eventually stood up and asked them to stop. With only one occupied table, this should have been done before opening or after we left. We also had to track down our waitress to get the check which I found a little annoying, as the place was empty. Overall, we were less impressed on this visit. If we return, perhaps we'll try some different dishes.

What a beautiful hidden gem right in Revere! Menu is simple & delicious…read more The boardwalk is such a plus!!!!!

When you think waterfront you immediately think fresh & vibrant with menu items that deliver that wow factor! While the menu looks promising, the execution certainly needs work. Let's start off with the small plates, Mila's meatballs. Our meatballs came before our dinks! Wicked fast! Sadly they were lackluster. Dense , a bit cold & grey in the center & lacked that glorious soft texture to the point where I questioned if they were made fresh. I was told they were! A good meatball is a perfect balance of flavor, texture, and juiciness and theirs didn't! The whipped ricotta was quite nice as well as the marinade was seasoned well. Pulled pork Poutine Excited about it being presented in a cast iron skillet. But the pork was so incredibly salty and the tater tots were definitely store bought. Cheese was melted nicely and that added nutmeg gave it a nice kick. While the seasoning was good, the salt was so dominating you couldn't taste much of anything else. Giannone Chicken Chicken & potatoes with a mushroom sauce. That's it!! An overtly basic dish serving one breast & wing sitting on a huge bed of oven roasted potatoes. Lacking any profound seasoning with some of the potatoes being undercooked. For $27 I was expecting a whole lot more. Some acidity, some spice or maybe a vegetable of some sort Our cocktails while tasty were mostly ice and were also quite pricy. I understand given the location the prices are to scale but not to this extent where our drinks were only a few small sips. I had such high expectations of this new waterfront eatery. And I still do. Hoping they make the necessary changes and execute better in the future. I'm certainly rooting for them.

First off, she said she loved the place other than it's one of those places that have the tables in pretty tight together - but food and service wise -she said everything went excellent. She had the Chicken and Waffles, her older brother had a Belgian Waffle and her younger brother had some sort of open faced sandwich with excellent home fries. For my dinner, which we reheated in the air frier, was Excellent. They had made a killer burger with some excellent shoe-string fries that reheated very well. The burger (from the dinner menu) was excellent and I didn't even know it had Swiss on it at the time, because it tasted so damn good. The real prize were those wings. I would drive to Lynn from Merrimack Valley for these wings. Nice blend of sweet and hot. Great experience without having to make the trip personally!!!

They were playing 70s and 80s music, which was fun for this Gen X girl. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive, a crew of sweet kids. The food was really delicious and beautifully presented. Unfortunately, we forgot to take pictures. I need to put the Ox on my regular rotation. I'm dying to try more of their menu items.
