Excellent experience and food for my whole family! HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Winthrop location, similar to what other reviewers had mentioned, Gabriella greeted us at our table, made menu recommendations, and went above and beyond with customer service towards my family! FANTASTIC baked haddock, fried scallops, and BBQ roast beef!! I got the 2 combo haddock and scallops with a side Caesar salad (see photo for how huge it is - I have big hands) and waffle fries. Amazing food and portion sizes. Bottom line, do yourself a favor and check this place out. My family from Iowa spent our vacation between Boston and Bar Harbor, Maine (Acadia NP) for a week, and we ate out a lot, this spot is easily some of the best food and service that we had!
Gabriella what of the nicest people on the planet earth!!! Took care of my family and it was one of the best experience we had in the last 10 years definitely a 10 out of 10!!! I would like to come in during the week, but we love coming on Sunday just to see Gabriella she's the best!! The calzone is definitely a super duty item!
The clam belly plate was excellent as well as the roast beef. The onion roll had great flavor! Gabriella was the cherry on top!
First time in boston, tried the cold lobster roll did not disappoint. The fries were delicious. The lady bringing the food and cleaning the outside are was amazing, great attitude. Love it !!! My sister had the chicken salad , the chicken was amazing vert tasty .
Gabriella is one of a kind. Service is A1. It just feels like home. Get the honey steak tips! Thank me later!
Friends and I ate here on the way out of Boston as we had time to kill and thank God we did! Truly one of the best dinning experiences I have ever had in my life and my friend said the same things. We got lobster rolls and hot roast beef sandwiches (3-way) they call it, and the owner came out to intro himself and re made another pizza for us. Thank you George and Gabriela best food I had out here and one of the top in my life! Keep up the good work #all in the family!
