The clam chowder was as good as everyone says. Fish and chips had that perfect crispy batter. The salmon skin was a nice, crunchy extra. Solid spot for seafood.

Came here for a birthday dinner. The tapas selection is solid. Really enjoyed the patatas bravas and the grilled octopus&mdash;both had great texture and flavor. The place has a nice, cozy vibe.

Service was top notch. They handled my dietary restriction without a fuss. The sommelier&rsquo;s wine suggestion was spot on with the main course, made the whole evening.

Been coming here for years to watch the game. They&#39;ve got every beer you could think of, and the service is always on point. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

The falafel pita was good, crispy outside and soft inside. But for $14, the portion felt a bit small. I was still a little hungry after finishing it.

Stumbled in with friends and the Cherry Garciaparra ice cream with hot fudge was the star! The fudge was so thick and rich. A sweet spot to catch up.

No indoor seating, but the bench outside is actually a cute spot to hang with friends. Grabbed a cappuccino from the coffee bar next door - it was the perfect companion for our pastries while we chatted.

Been grabbing lunch here while at the office. The pizza slice is always fresh&mdash;you can tell the ingredients are quality. My coworkers rave about the chicken and fries, but I stick to the veggie slice. It&#39;s just the right size for a midday bite.

Came here with my friends last weekend. Athan&#39;s has that cozy, homemade vibe - like your neighbor dropping off holiday cookies. We shared a few of their pastries and it totally hit the spot for that nostalgic craving. Perfect for a casual catch-up.

Huge portions here. The Texas ribs were massive, so I had to share. Good flavor, but it&#39;s a lot of food. Got my quick lunch fix.

The lobster fra diavolo is really good, with a nice kick. The portion was huge, I had to take half home. The squid ink pasta was also perfectly chewy. My only thing is the chairs are a bit hard for a longer dinner.

The old-school egg rolls are spot on. They paired really well with the house lager, didn&rsquo;t even touch the duck sauce.

The dinner sampler is huge, good for two people. Had both the hot and cold appetizers. The cold ones were fresh, but the hot ones could&#39;ve been warmer. Solid choice if you just want a lot of food.

This place is a solid choice for a drink. The cocktails are well-made, and honestly, the price is right for Brookline. You get a good pour for what you pay, which is getting harder to find.

The staff here is really nice and helpful, but they never hover or make you feel rushed. It&#39;s just a comfortable, easygoing kind of place.

The private room upstairs was just right for my birthday. Jen was super helpful with all the planning.

Cozy little spot, the sushi was delicious. Service was attentive, they kept my water glass full without me asking. Made for a very relaxed dinner.

The thin crust pizza here is spot on. Toppings are flavorful and the cheese pull is perfect. 👍 Had a small mix-up with our order, but they made it right.

Grabbed a table right away even though it was packed. Food came out fast, and the server was really on top of things. That&#39;s a win for a busy Friday night.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s a solid neighborhood spot. The shepherd&#39;s pie is always my go-to - the meat is tender, and the mash on top is just right. They keep the Guinness pouring well, too. A reliable choice when you don&#39;t want to think about it.

The sourdough with rosemary butter was a standout. Really liked the crust and the butter had a nice, subtle herb flavor. The hand-cut fries were good too, crispy and the black pepper mayo was a nice touch. Solid start to the meal.

The host was so nice to squeeze us in on a packed Saturday night! The bartenders are really good too &mdash; their espresso martini was spot on. Service here is always on point.

Eddie was on point. Super attentive, remembered our drink refills without asking. Made the whole dinner smooth. Food was solid too.

Jose at the Armory Street spot was awesome with our big group. He kept checking on us, made sure we had everything. Super chill guy, handled the chaos perfectly.

Love stopping by for their hand-dipped ice cream bars in summer. The dark chocolate shell was a great match for the raspberry sorbet inside&mdash;just the right balance. Watching them dip it fresh is half the fun. A bit messy to eat, but that&#39;s part of the charm.

Came in for a quick lunch. The Prudential sandwich on tomato basil bagel was solid, especially toasted. Garlic cream cheese worked well. Cinnamon roll was a nice finish. Good for the price and speed.

The cafe was packed when we went, but the staff kept things moving. Got our food pretty quick. Nice for a relaxed weekend brunch.

Stumbled upon this place and the waffle fries were the star &mdash; crispy outside, fluffy inside. The strawberry smoothie was a nice match.
