"The fall menu at Urban Hearth is a fantastic , colorful and tasty array! The New England Nosh board is a delicious combination of fruit preserves , cheese and cured meats . The small plates were a mixture of meat , fish or vegetable centered dishes outstandingly flavored. The large plates were savory, and wonderfully plated. I brought friends from Europe there and they appreciated the fresh farm to table flavors and warm service. We sat outside on one of the last lovely evenings of fall on their wooden patio, well lit with string lights and decorated with foliage. We adore Urban Hearth!!"

"I have enjoyed Harvest in the past but last night was an exception. We were seated near the noisy kitchen at a table where the lights were out/ not functioning. I ordered a glass of wine which was not poured at the table and it was a fair bit warmer than room temperature. They did offer me another glass. The ribeye steak was a cooked rare as we asked but very fatty about 1/3 of a 16 oz steak was fat. I like a well marveled steak but this was excessive. All in all not the best experience and I’m not sure I will return."

"Please do not get the french onion soup $18) or the short rib tortellini $38) This restaurant was extremely disappointing for me. I had high hopes for it. It is in a great location near Harvard square and it has a nice outdoor seating option. However, there was much to be desired. The french onion soup looks amazing. However, I should have taken another photo without the melted cheese. There is hardly any actual soup. The color is grey and cloudy. It tastes faint and muddy. There are far too many mushrooms and too much cheese. I have never, ever not finished a dish in a restaurant and this was one I did not finish. It was taken away half finished and nobody asked if there were any issues with it. The french fries were good. However, the two dipping options were some aioli and just regular Heinz ketchup. I wish the other one was something unique as well. The real disappointment was the main dish. The short rib tortellini was a small dish with exactly 7 tortellinis. The tortellini itself was not al dente, as another review mentioned. It was slightly under that and needed 1-2 minutes more. As a result, it had quite a bit of a bite to it, and the taste was not pleasant. The short rib filling was tasteless and texturally unforgiving combined with the underdone pasta. The sauce it was in was rooted in Asian flavors, which did not round out the dish. The carrots and potatoes were an afterthought, adding nothing. They were both underdone and some pieces were legitimately hard. Again, no one asked how my dish was. I am sure Harvest has some great dishes. These two were not those. I came here for an anniversary dinner and was excited. My girlfriend had a great dish, so that is a highlight. However, I am writing my review on my own experience. The service was subpar. I was not asked how my food was and everyone just seemed a little cold and distant. For $150 I expect something pheneomenal. And I was left wishing I went anywhere else."

"So far I’ve only ever order takeout, but the food is incredible. I’ve been on the hunt for good Chinese food for many years now, and Shanghai moon is hands down my favorite place to order Chinese food from! My favorite thing on the menu would have to be the steamed wontons with peanut sesame sauce. If I could order this sauce by the gallon I would. It’s so delicious. 2 things I typically judge Chinese food restaurants on are the egg rolls and the roast pork lo mein, and Shanghai moon has hit the mark on both of those!! The sushi here is also amazing. I continue to order again and again. Someday soon I’ll need to go inside and enjoy it as a proper restaurant, but for now, the takeout is everything I’m looking for!"

"A true gem of Arlington. We've lived in the Atown for 12 years and Mr Sushi has been our go-to... our rock for the entire time. The straight-ahead, unpretentious Japanese menu never fails to satisfy. I write this very review as I am polishing off some salmon, shrimp, and unagi nigiri with some oshitashi (spinach), edamame, and shumai on the side. Delicious! When you order togo they are always polite and friendly on the phone. They get your order right and they pack it up really nicely. When you go into the restaurant the servers are friendly and efficient. They get to you quickly and the food usually comes quickly. One thing I really like is the ambience... the lighting is subdued but not dim and they play really good jazz... not smooth, adult contemporary, mind you... but quality stuff that compliments the menu beautifully. Obviously, I am a big fan of Mr Sushi... which, despite its sort of laughable name, is a very solid, tasty, cozy, friendly place to eat. 5 stars"
