In my opinion, one of the best new restaurants this year. For City dwellers, best on a weekday night if you walk from work. I too was faced with the sweetbreads/duck confit dilemma, but my server was a little more equivocal. I...

. My friend had the Lobster Bisque which was very nice and had a good kick to it as well. The steaks were great. Our waitress, who was great, thanks Melissa!, accidentally brought us out the chocolate tart which wasn’t that...

(wisely) bought new, comfy chairs. The homefries are, according to our server, not up to the Portsmouth location’s standards yet as they are still waiting on some kitchen equipment, but they were delicious and very...

'm looking forward to returning. Maya to Go was an amazing deal. $5 plus 50 cents for homemade tortillas gets you three enormous tacos. I tried carnitas. It was enough for two. Points for guava agua fresca. Nearby Lee’s was...

- and it doesn’t cost a fortune. I would recommend getting reservations if you plan to go on a weekend or Friday night. It gets crowded there. "- Melissa Markets · Lexington Market- great seafood, fried gizzards and livers,...

that’s pretty harsh for one trip and one plate...I’ve been there plenty of times and even if some dishes have not struck a perfect note, I am always interested to see what Melissa might be creating. as to wines, they...

pepper on my salad, it was too, too much. I thought the server should have known how peppery the dressing was and offered up some advice. Understandable, this is something of a neighborhood place but I was still a little dismayed...

We have been going to the Starving Artist in Ocean Grove for years now and they do a really good job overall and not to mention that the food server Tom is probally one of the best in the business. However, looking to branch out...

Primo is definitely a little more upscale atmosphere and the service is more polished (i’m confident that TRP will get there in the near future though). Ask for Michelle as your server if you make the reservation at Primo,...

far too much brie, but my main — banana-crusted chicken w/ sweet mango curry sauce — was superb. My wife’s arctic char was quite good as well. For dessert we split a decadently huge hot fudge sundae. Our server...

, and the chocolate souffle cake; I forget what wine I paired it with. The salad was pleasant enough: the dressing was light and, unlike the oysters' mignonette, did not overpower the leaves. My server alerted me that the salmon...

at the table next to me. The servers had to go through the bar to get to the tables on the other side because you literally could not walk between the tables. It was really strange....we couldn’t figure out why they made...

restaurants as well. We loved tham and read them so much before our trip that it looked like we were studying for a test by the time we were done with them. I hope these help, and let us know how it goes. ;) -Melissa

I’ve heard nothing but nice about Scott Bryan. One night at Veritas, our server was raving about how lovely he was (vs other chefs she’d worked with), and indeed, we saw him hanging out, seemingly happily, drinking...

declined.) There are one or two servers who are excellent, and so I’m not surprised you had one — but I haven’t been seated in their section in far too long. Instead, I’ve been rushed terribly.
