Margaret !: Find a seat, then wait patiently for a pastry or three. They’re more than just “better” than other bakeries. They’re in a class of their own. I love the rhubarb galette in spring.
Léna Le Rolland: Amazing spot. Great staff, tasty fresh food. Love the sandwiches and the salades. Deserts are great too. Highly recommend
Tina Flaget: Loved the Tomato Tarte Tartin!
Kate Pipa: Try the muffins and scones! Always great combinations of flavors, like lemon ginger for the scones and raspberry rhubarb oat muffins! The BLT and raspberry seltzer are both fabulous as well!
Avin Narasimhan: Breakfast sandwich is excellent. Also the mocha- not sure what kind of chocolate they use but it is amazing
David Haber: Wireless is turned off from 11-2pm during peak hours. Otherwise the password is their telephone number.

Irina: Go for the tasting menu (available on groupon) - great value and you get to try 6 courses!
Yu-Mei: Beef heart anticuchos, homemade burrata and whatever the specials are. Table seating is better than the cramped place settings at the bar at the open kitchen. Or head to the cozy bar alcove behind.
Adam Sigel: Great place to get a glass or two of wine and try a couple small plates. We had savory vidalia onion churros last time. It’s like an onion ring only better in every way.

Andrea Falcone: Chef's tasting menu was well worth the $70. Chilled beet soup was the best!
Eater: The single most essential Boston restaurant of the moment, in that here chef-owner Will Gilson is more thoroughly tackling a fresh perspective on New England cuisine than anywhere else in the world.

Tiffany Lopinsky: My favorite arancini in the city!
Jeff Byrnes: Cocktail program is offbeat, well done, and quite fun. Go for the Ludlow for something truly different.
Michael Troiano: Very good Italian, beyond the usual red sauce joint fare, but below the fussy highbrow stuff. The specials really were special - cocktails and pasta - and our large group felt like welcome guests.

c l: Cherrystone clams FTW. Try to come on a 2 for 1 day and it'll be one of the best deals around. A great way to sit out the Rt. 2 traffic!
BostonTweet: Show your MBTA Charlie Card at any Summer Shack and get a free cup of clam chowdah or a free soft serve ice cream with a purchase of an entree.
Boston.com: Seafood lovers will love this beachy riff on Americana-a “seafood” dog that’s got all the right stuff, including lobster meat mixed with a shrimp mousse. The dipping mayo gives it that kick of summer. Read more.
