Best Casual Restaurants in Somerville

The server never offered me a second cocktail, and one of the managers was expediting the food, so when dinner arrived way before I had the time to finish my salad, he could see my displeasure, but I did not want him to take my dinner back. In many cases, the manager apologizes, and that’s it, so I did not really complain, and to my surprise, 5 minutes later, he walked over and apologized again and comped my salad. This unexpected attempt to maintain a pleasant customer experience was greatly appreciated and… thus, overall- outstanding!

We were lucky to get seats at the chef’s table. The kitchen is well run and efficient. Food was excellent. Calamari was fresh and tender with a tasty aioli sauce accompanying the usual marinara. We had swordfish tacos - tasty grilled fish with fresh ingredients. The seafood risotto had generous amounts of lobster and shrimp with two seared scallops. Checking out at about $100 with tip for two this was a good value. BYOB.

This will definitely be in our regular rotation of DATE NIGHT. The food was good, drinks were good. Service was a little slower than I would like but not slow enough to take away from overall experience. Great place to chill with your mate or friends.

Staff and owners were always present and attentive. The food was very delicious. Everyone was happy!
