"I ordered the Western Omelette and it was delicious! The fresh ham and eggs were cooked perfectly and fluffy. I really appreciated that the vegetables were sautéed, as I dislike raw veggies in my omelette. I will definitely be ordering this again! Even the potatoes had onions and peppers mixed in, which added to the tasty flavor."

"We called to book a reservation for Mother’s Day for outdoor seating since we had a dog tagging along. I made sure to ask if we would be able to, since it was going to rain early that day and the hostess said we would and she had put us down for the time requested. When we showed up, we were told that not only did we not have a name down, but the outside wasn’t ready for dining due to the rain earlier. Things did not start out well, but the hostess was accommodating and polite, which helped turn things around. The food was wonderful, the small plates were incredible and the drinks were well made. But the real star of the show was the bartender Lay, who had to be our impromptu server since we were being accommodated. As we were waiting outside, we saw Lay step out to go out of his way to be kind to a parent and his child and give them fries. When we went in to order, he was very attentive with our large order and even accommodated us with an off-menu drink order. He was exceptionally kind and was witty and made us laugh. He checked up on us even though we were instructed to seek him out for service. Our orders came out correct and he made sure we were all done with our small plates before getting the entrees started, so that we weren’t overwhelmed with food. Lay and team turned what would have been a disappointing experience into a great one. Also highly recommend the duck buns/gnocchi/pork belly/dumpling plates. The drinks were all killer, Lay is a rockstar"

"worst pizza ever. boiled, no taste in teig, sauce was watery and lack of taste. it was just a mess."
Soup • Kitchen • American • Sandwiches
"I order from this place 2-3 times a week for lunch. They make really good sandwiches, wrap etc. My go to here is the Cajun Turkey wrap on a wheat tortilla or the crispy chicken sandwich with a side of sweet potato waffle fries. The establish is very clean and the staff are very welcoming. I also would like to add the fact they order curbside pick up since parking can be hard to find downtown Somerville and they do have an app for placing orders. Lastly for every 100 points which equate to $100.00 if I?m correct you do get a $5.00 coupon toward your purchase. They also offer double points on Monday?s. Definitely worth checking them out if you are in the area of Somerville/Bridgewater or happen to find yourself there and you won?t regret it."

"dalí is looking forward to a birthday party as always. the noise level was super high this time because of a Swiss 6-Top in the main dining room, and after it cleared out, it was still alive, but this is all part of the mood in this restaurant. highly recommended!"
Thai • Casual • Asiatic • Catering
"Siam Ginger is, hands down, our FAVORITE Thai restaurant in the area. The service is always exceptional and the food is beyond delicious. My boyfriend and I can't get enough of their drunken noodles they're spicy, sweet, and full of flavor. Siam Ginger even hand decorated our bag when we ordered take out recently!"

"great, fantastic place for custom orders! very accommodating, pleasant to work. and the quality of work is great a. we have found our eternal bakery! thank you. karen; the cake was a beautiful, delicious vision!"
Kebab • Seafood • Moroccan • Mediterranean
"I like this place. It has nice small portions of food. Everything looks cute. You have to make a reservation if you want to have a table otherwise, the only option will be to be seated at the bar. The place is small by itself too. My friend and I ordered several dishes to share and everything tasted great. My favorite was dessert. We ordered donuts and picked two toppings, OMG those donuts were delicious! I highly recommend this place, they serve food in a very beautiful way and their drinks look great. The only problem is parking. There is no parking. You need to drive around and search for a parking space, other than that everything is great!"
Cafés • Coffee • Creperies • Breakfast
"This Cafe is nicely located in a corner at Davis Square. It has a nice look and we'll decorated inside. Two things that call my attention in this visit (in still here), and why I reduced one star: The table in using is sticky, my jacket and my laptop make a funny noice to detach from the surface. And the cafe latte I ordered is extremely hot, it's been like 10 minutes and I still can't drink it; you can probably see the smoke from my cup in the picture in sharing."
Kebab • Pizza • Salad • Italian
"Small Italian eatery with fresh salads, HUGE calzones, and delicious pizza. The food is cooked out front where you can watch and customize your order. If you're short in time, call in an order and carry out. They also have a selection of refrigerated beverages, from individual cans and bottles, to 2-liters. The prices are extremely affordable, especially compared to the Holiday Inn, where I was staying."

"Food was great first time. Second visit the meat I got was very fatty and the plantains were very hard and not too sweet . 8/17/23 Got food for dinner today , was not up to standards . It's like the person just poured the whole cilantro on my food . I usually ask for things to be seperated for this very reason . Now my entire meal is going to be way too heavy on the cilantro . I'm not into returning food , but you all should make this right as this is NOT what I've come to expect from eating here , sometimes almost 3/4 times a week ."
Vegan • Donuts • Coffee • Bakery
"I love that Union square donuts has vegan options. We got a few for a picnic this weekend. We loved the flavors but this time the donuts were very oily. This is unusual for them so I was a bit disappointed. Will definitely try them again since they are usually really good."
Beer • Seafood • Steakhouse • Bar-Lounge
"Food was average. Not the quality expected for the price. Very surprised that I was charged for putting my drink in a martini glass when I have never been charged extra at other locations. Service was good. Ruth Chris has become and expensive average steakhouse."

"The lady at the front door had us wait for all people on the reservation to arrive, but she did seat other groups where the entire party hadn’t arrived. Not sure what was going on, but don’t think we ll be going back anytime soon"
Pizza • Pizzeria • Breakfast • Sandwiches
"The food is always good, and the service is always fast and polite. Their subs are substantial, none of this single slice of meat business other shops serve. I tried their pizza for the first time yesterday and am kicking myself for not trying before. Similar to NY style. And after years of teasing, they finally have online ordering!"
Cafés • Juice • Fast Food • Vegetarian
"My husband and I were at Nu Cafe for brunch today and were mind blown with Buddha bowl, curried cauliflower bowl and the burger. The ginger garlic dressing elevated the taste by multifolds, and I could only wish that they start selling those in bottles in near future. Aside from the bowls, there are several other options for vegans/vegetarians looking to grab high-quality meal at reasonable price, including smoothies, sandwiches and burgers. I must mention that this was our first time here, but definitely not the last."

"we had tu y yo in the summer 2022 our high time and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. edwin and the chef adolfo have worked with us to create a menu that we wanted, from the species of deceit to the Taco fillings to the hot sauces and made sure we kept all food allergies in the eye. on our high-time day, Drop-off was seamless, and tu y yo worked with our coordinator to set up the food, feature labels with food allergies, and ensure that the burner works properly. before our high time we were in their restaurant in somerville a few times and worried that some of the foods do not keep on the drive at the high time or during the dinner service, but everything was phenomenal and our guests have ridden all night over the tacos and tamales. we had overrated, but at the end of the night most of the spread was torn off. tu y yo to make our high-time meal one of the highlights of the day!"

"Great cozy atmosphere, authentic Peruvian flavors, delicious cocktails. Ordered the tuna ceviche, lomo saltado, and mutton stew. Plus martini and pisco. The lomo saltado was so juicy and fragrant. Only downside is the portions are smaller than other Peruvian restaurants I’ve tried. But hey there is a premium since this is a fancy date night joint"

"Cash only. They are always on top of their game. Excellent unique home fries. Delicious baxon egg and cheese. Very friendly. A bit pricey for a bacon egg and cheese on english muffin. 8.99. No home fries as side. So you order separate. So a bacon egg and cheese, home fries, and coffee was 18$ plus the cream of wheat was 3$. It was always the first thing they asked cream of wheat or fruit. I didn't know you have to order off a certain page on the menu to get cream of wheat complimentary. So I spent 25$ expecting to spend about 16 with tip 20. It's all good."
