Rob HavasyMay 13, 2015Has a place for everyone, from a crowded bar to game tables to comfortable, intimate seating. Should be comfortable regardless of who you're with and whatever you're doing.
Jason HopperApril 6, 2015The food was excellent. The mac & cheese was probably the best I've ever had. Our waitress was friendly but didn't know the draft beer menu and also had no idea they didn't have brats today.
Sofia PapastamelosApril 10, 2015Huge place. I like how there are different levels and a billiards room so you can decide whether you what to dance and be loud or opt for more of a lounge setting.
Gianna NebbiaFebruary 10, 2017Their sandwiches are so tasty- the bread is so soft and fluffy. 😋 they have a great cocktail selection too
Cherry GomezNovember 21, 2013Best food bar none I love the cheese if you like cheese u will love this
Amanda HurleyJune 28, 2012You must try The New Cuban- perfectly refreshing for summer. Rum, basil, sparkle wine, Ginger
Jacklyn BurganMay 25, 2014Get the Painkiller at brunch! You won't be sorry. The bloody is very spicy.
- Sabrina MJune 30, 2013Try the Eggs Benedict - Looks fantastic! Nice atmosphere w/ the jazz band, throwing a baby showe & they're very accommodating!
Jake SmithDecember 16, 2011Great location, with a drink list to match. Avoid the after work crowd; you'll really get your money's worth if you go in the later evening.
Taylor GreyJune 16, 2013Tasty fries. Although, I *did* order them with remoulade that never came... #firstworldproblems #potatoes
Gail GSeptember 24, 2011Fun drinks. Loved "the painkiller". Coconut goodness. Also came here Fri night to check out the dance scene. It was so so.- Fried oyster special is heavenly. As are the fried pickles (but really when are fried pickles ever NOT heavenly?)
Gotta try the fried pickles. All my other food experiences here have been very disappointing. Special requests were botched, sides forgotten
order the za'atar flatbread (pine nuts, goat cheese, hummus, labneh). eat.
- want to get hit on by shirt & tie guys? the bar downstairs is the place to be.
Rosemary Callahan-GrayFebruary 3, 2012The Strawberry Miller is very interesting, definitely something different!
Justin BragaSeptember 23, 2012New rule: Do NOT wear sneakers! So lame. Not high class enough for that rule.
Rene BlackburnSeptember 25, 201180s music? it's a cool place except the music doesn't match the atmosphere and decor.
ᴡ HahnSeptember 15, 2011Just ordered but already have to post that they have the best soundtrack ever.
The weekend bouncers here are literally the worst in Boston. Completely unnecessarily rude and mean EVERY SINGLE TIME. Bartenders are great though

"Paniificio is a great breakfast or baked goods stop. We enjoyed a clean friendly environment with good food. Try the Western Omelet for a satisfying breakfast that will stay with you all day."

"The seating by the window is prime for people watching. Make your own grilled cheese.. Can't go wrong with any combo but I'm a big fan of the focaccia in particular! Also can't pass up the macarons"
