Midwest Grill Inc
Jun 10, 2009 by Bob from Boston
Overall Rating: 2
Food:[2] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[3]

• I liked living.

“While it might be a good value for the money if the food was moist, it is not because of the dried out meats. The waitress told us that the dessert was included and it wasn't. The owner wouldn't do any thing to make it up to us. The steam table had unmarked, unidentifiable dishes, the cold table was abuzz with flies and they followed us to our table every time we sat back down. They were very attentive to our drinks, though. But at 7 a pop and nothing to write home about, why wouldn't they be? Stay away at all costs.”

Bluefin Restaurant
Mar 12, 2009 by Jay from Cambridge, MA
Overall Rating: 8

• Excellent food, great prices, kid-friendly, great service.
• Crowded, annoying televisions.

“Bluefin Restaurant is a great place to find inexpensive and highly authentic Japanese cuisine. Their sushi prices are excellent, and their combo specials are a great value. My husband loves the donburi rice bowls, and my younger daughter loves the miso soup. This restaurant is amazingly tolerant of children and has a wide selection of kid-friendly foods. It's a bit crowded and tends to fill up quickly during peak times, and I'm mildly annoyed by the televisions in every dining room. But compared to the other tiny restaurants in the Porter Exchange, it's downright roomy. Conveniently near the Kotobukiya grocery and video store, a bubble tea vendor, a small bakery, and Tokai, which sells Japanese teapots, clothing, and novelty items like stuffed Totoro and Hello Kitty dolls. This is my daughters' favorite place to go out to eat.”

East Coast Grill
Oct 24, 2008 by Wally from New Haven, CT
Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Big bold flavors, small plates, seasonal and local ingredients, slow-and-low barbecue.
• Everybody knows its fantastic so it gets crowded, especially on weekends.

“Really tasty slow-and-low cooked barbeque and wicked fresh seafood. I had the tuna tacos and the ribs platter. Beautiful pink smoke ring on the ribs, very tasty. Best fish tacos I have ever had. Also, the best brunch in the city with a massive make-your-own mary bar.”

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.”
