    Argentinian shrimp and grits
    Hubert H.

    A decent place to have a meal with a nice ambiance but ultimately lacking in flavor and much too ordinary a concept. Also mistakes on the menu whereby items on menu were not present in dish, and items in dish not listed on menu. The burrata appetizer is an example: the cheese itself was fresh and delicious with a nice rougher outer layer balanced by the softer inner layer. The preserved meat salami was great as were the figs and the berry jam. But the menu mentioned beets and there were none provided. We checked w the waiter and he said that the recipe changed and so wasn't included! If I were them would have reduced the price or provided some beets on the side. The Caesar salad was good but the lettuce and flavoring was nothing special. The parmesan chips were a nice touch as was the pumpernickel croutons. There needed to be more flavoring on the sauce. The shrimp and grits was good. The grits were rich and creamy and the shrimp was spongy with a nice bite to it [though they could be meatier]. Generally a good dish. The Mahi Mahi could have been more flavorful and a tad less well-done. The coconut broth was gentle and delicate, and the tomatoes were a nice addition. The ginger however was way strong and there needed to be fewer strands of ginger or the ginger strands needed to be thinner. They also need to be cited on the menu! The service was excellent and helpful. The pricing was probably more than I think the meal is worth though that's true for a lot of restaurants in an era of high inflation. Check this place out and see what you think!

    This is what The Wellington provided for a $49 Thanksgiving Dinner to go What a shame! Great chef (or so I always thought) until today

    Waffle with fresh berries, Breakfast Flatbread & Spinach Bene!

    5 STARS . Food is amazing , fresh ingredients & made with love. Shrimp & Grits , like where else can you get real grits around here that melt in your mouth ?! We love the atmosphere, great ambiance & upbeat employees make this place stand out from the rest. Oh and their Brunch ... Where do I begin... The waffles have Pearl sugar that caramelizes, crystalizes to give them that amazing texture . The real deal. Flatbread with avocado, applewood smoked bacon , gruyere & fontina cheese & pickled red onions topped with soft poached eggs with chives is my go - to... But the Bananas Foster is a mind blowing experience on its own. I suggest you get one for the table in addition to your individual meals. Also huge omelettes & 4 styles of Benedicts - smoked salmon , ham , bacon or spinach . You won't be disappointed, I promise ! !

The ambience is great - large space with casual vibes, lots of screens for sports and ample seating with both high tables and comfortable booths. The place was not too crowded but there were quite a few people there. It was around 8:30 when we came in so a bit later than the usual dinner time. The menu is quite extensive with a wide variety of dishes and even barbecue platter options. We ordered the smoked chicken wings to share - they came with a dry chili rub and 2 sauces - bbq and a Carolina mustard sauce. They were good tender tasty. For my main dish I ordered the blackened salmon with salad. The salmon was cooked well crispy on the outside and tender flaky inside. It came with deviled eggs too - which were ok - a bit spicy. The salad had cucumbers tomatoes and onions, but they were such tiny pieces and not a lot of- hard to find lol among all the greens. They should have either added more or just cut them in bigger pieces. They were literally like a few millimeters wide - almost microscopic!! The hubs ordered the root beer white russian drink which he liked. He ordered the rigatoni pasta which he enjoyed - tasty, tangy creamy with a touch of spice. Service was very pleasant- our server was very nice checked in on us frequently and even took a picture of us! Overall good experience and we'll be back!

There are a few different flavor profiles to choose from, including Korean pineapple, spicy Chinese, and Nashville. We got the Seoulja Boi wings (came with a ranch-based dip on the side) combo with fries and drink, plus a maple glazed Brussels sprouts aide. It was good - I've never said no to a crispy wing - but not earth shattering. The crinkle cut fries were solid though- crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. (A bit annoyed that my pickup order didn't include utensils as I had indicated in the online order form - they must've just missed this because the straw and ketchup were all in there.) Still, a good option if you're looking for a quick-service type takeout place around Arsenal Yards. They cook to order and you can't fry wings under 15 minutes, so best to order online and pickup.

I was hoping for Nashville hot....there was definitely no hot. Nashville or not...could not tell the difference for that $1 extra cost. Both sandwiches came up to like $33.xx, so not cheat. Quality of the sandwiches was good, especially the presentation. The sandwich is wrapped nicely for easy eating without too much mess. I liked that it had bacon in the sandwiches. Is a fried chicken sandwich worth like $16 though? Place is tiny, has some seating. Lady up front was friendly. Menu offerings is limited. Decor was nice.

I am not sure which aspect was more enjoyable, but the two together made our dinner quite memorable. The location in downtown Watertown enhanced the experience as the cozy, vintage setting in the town- center strip exuded the feeling of a small local family restaurant. We made a reservation and this is recommended since the dining room offers limited capacity. Parking was a little tricky but we found a spot on the street across from the diner. Beware that you might have to exercise a bit of patience in this regard. Because of our reservation, we were seated right away. Our server attended to us quickly and did a great job of looking after us all night. My colleague, who had been to this place a few times prior to this, suggested that we start with Ida's Meatballs. It was presented as four decent-sized pieces and they were not only plentiful in portion, but also were quite tasty. For his main, he had the Short Rib Ravioli. The pasta was stuffed quite full with short rib meat. He invited me to try a bite and I thought it was excellent. I chose the Shrimp Fra Diavolo, one of my favorites on American Italian menus. It was terrific having just the right amount of kick. We topped off the meal with dessert. He had tried the Tiramisu before and insisted that I share at least a couple of bites. It was outstanding. I decided on a finisher of my own, however, with the Affogato. It was quite lovely with quality ice cream and good coffee. It provided a right-sized dessert portion for me. Overall, the bill for the two of us that included the food, a glass of wine for me (a lovely Chianti), tax and tip was close to $60 per person. For the quality of the fare, I was not unhappy with this value. I'll look forward to the chance to try this place again. My colleague tells me it is a go-to for him when he's in the area, so I'm sure I'll have another chance to visit.
