Sandra Wong: The sushi and French macaroon
Mike D: This is a great place to take the kids for a meal! They can eat pizza, fresh fruit, or steamed veggies, while you eat adult food! And it's a grocery store, so obviously informal!
Lauren Siegert: Boston is finally the city of my dreams.
Brian Cantwell: Try to ignore the rude, apathetic service so it doesn't ruin the tasty French bistro fare.
Thas Seth: Great escargots. Pomes frites are a favorite. Must have when you want to snack.
Donna Yuen: $9.95 brunch for a cinnamon bun, coffee, juice AND entree (french toast, omelette, or scrambled eggs). Can't beat that!

Bonnie Chen: Spinach and cheese croissants are the best!
David Quick: If you want the freshest fish check out the seafood department. Whole Foods owns their own dock in Gloucester so it's always fresh. They get seafood 6 days a week so it has to be.
Cori Henderson: The prepared foods section is always fresh and always delicious. Salads, mac and cheese, pizza slices, mashed potatoes, deli sandwiches - it's all there.
Ashley Brown: Yummy smoothies (strawberry is my fav), delish crepes on the weekends (banana Nutella). And just discovered salty oats cookie - also a win. Great customer service by knowledgeable people :)
Sean Wheatley: Seasonal crepes are awesome here
Jeremy Krantz: Great coffee, great food, great staff and even WiFi to boot. This place rocks!

Italian Restaurant · 6 tips and reviews
Xavie F.: The penne, applewood chicken, walnuts, sundried tomato and creamy sauce was INCREDIBLE. So rich with flavor, like a party in my mouth.
Janice Flynn: Would you like some bread? Why yes....surprise, the bread is....popovers!!!! 😁
Christina Varrasso: Very nice bar, pricey but good selection of apps
Deena Freed: Amazing food. Just had the stuffed french toast special - apples, bananas, cinnamon and literally stuffed inside. Died and gone to heaven.
Ilana Katz: One of my favorite places in Newton. Move over Panera Bread!
Roman Khitrik: Delicious unique creations to suit all diet styles and tastes. This is traditional Jewish cuisine with some modern cultural trends. Great gluten free selections
Albie S: Off the entree list, order blini with caviar as an appetizer to be shared. (Comes with 6 crepes) Stick with salmon caviar - buttery, not too salty. Borscht v. good. Service is glacially slow.
Lily B: Infused vodkas (try the Chopin), delicious stuffed cabbage entrée, live classical piano music on Saturday evenings. Great date spot! Warning: front entrance a bit difficult to find.
Rajarajan Palanimurugan: Try the blini without a second thought. Lamb chops are very good too.

Boston.com: The Local Burger is made from prime beef topped with lettuce, thinly sliced pickle, onion, and tomato, and served on a brioche bun. Added tangy cheddar and smoky bacon make each mouthful sing. Read more.
Elizabeth Grenier: Fried pickles are on another level here. Everything really rocks -- especially the lobster roll, truffle fries, and mussels!
Rich Thorne: Enjoy the photographs (from yours truly) hanging on the wall. Figure out where each was taken, and I'll buy you a beer :)
