Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizzeria
Sep 25, 2008 by Kay from Boston
Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Bread rolls.
• Service varies day to day.

“Great atmosphere. The bread rolls they serve you with are an excellent way to start a meal. I highly suggest getting Focacia or Ravioli. But there are plenty of great dishes at Bertucci's. I suggest going for lunch if you want a cheaper, yet still filling meal.”

Changsho Restaurant
May 7, 2008 by KSTAR from Cambridge
Overall Rating: 10
Food:[8] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Excellent flavor! Fresh ingredient, especially vegetables.
• The restaurant is popular, so there may be a wait on weekends.

“It's hard to find good Chinese food outside of Chinatown, in any city, but especially Boston. Luckily, Chang Sho has excellent food and service. The food is really tasty, emphasis on flavor and fresh vegetables; not heavy on fried meats or oily sauces. I especially love the Chicken and Chinese Eggplant, and we also love the weekend special of shrimp/spinach dumplings. PS, there is parking across the street.”

Helmand

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Highly spiced, delicious and different food.
• It's not cheap, but well worth it.

“The food at Helmand Afghan Restaurant is incredible. Everything was delicious and perfectly done, nicely presented. We tried the Kaddo appetizer-pumpkin w/sugar on yogurt/garlic sauce topped with ground beef sauce sounds weird, right? No scrumptious! Entrees were all tasty. Mine was Aushak-leek and scallion ravioli. Unbelievable. Every bite had a new nuance of wonderful flavor. Also sampled the other dishes our group ordered the spiced rice was just yummy; two different lamb dishes were both perfect, tasty but entirely distinct from each other, the trout was lovely. I think one person got the wrong entree but didn't care! Even the flatbread with 3 sauces for dipping was excellent. Make a reservation, and go there soon!”

Changsho Restaurant

“This restaurant is local to my home so my family has been a few times; it seems as though every time there has been at least one problem with our order. Tonight we ordered rice and asked that it not have bean sprouts in it, when we picked up the order, we asked about it again and they confirmed when we got home and found the bean sprouts they were not willing to work with us to fix our dinner. Reasonably expensive and service is quite disappointing. They even hung up the phone on me when I called with the complaints. We've also had trouble with them shortchanging us with extras such as rolls and sauces. We usually order food for 4 people, and have always gotten one roll in the past, with tonight's order we got none at all.”

La Groceria Restaurant
Mar 26, 2007 by Gerry from New York City, NY
Overall Rating: 2
Food:[1] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[4]

• The service was fine.
• The food was unsatisfactory.

“The meal was overall very disappointing: our appetizer was served with unripe, green tomatoes. My main dish was presented cold, upon reheating the meat was too chewy to finish. Furthermore, I was kept up most of the night with a terrible stomach ache. My meal had the strangest combination of flavors and sadly they just did not compliment each other. Upon complaining I was offered a free dessert. I declined; resolving never to return.”
