Skip Jacks Restaurant
Mar 26, 2008 by Carol from Boston
Overall Rating: 3
Food:[2] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[5]

• We did not wait long for a table.
• The food did not live up to the reputation of Skipjacks.

“We found it to be pricey and the food was not good at all. Our fish and clams were overcooked.”

Cherry Tree The

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

• Sirloin Tips.
• Nothing.

“If a neighborhood pub is what you're looking for, look no further! I travel from West Hartford for their Sirloin Tips and Mashed potatoes. Service is a little slow, so sit back and grab a beer and relax. The meal will be worth the wait!”

Amarin Of Thailand
Nov 7, 2007 by TT from Watertown
Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Fairly inexpensive, great food, impressive ambiance. The best pad Thai in Boston!
• Nothing negative to say, whatsoever.

“My wife and I love Thai food and have tried most all such restaurants in the metro west area of Newton, Watertown, Waltham, Wellesley, Brighton, Belmont, Arlington, and Cambridge. No other establishment can match the taste of pad Thai that amazing makes! The quality of food is consistent between both locations (Wellesley center and Newton corner), but we tend to go to Newton Location more, where the staff know us and the restaurant decor is superb. They keep prices so low that this great restaurant competes with take out Thai! You will get an even better deal if you go there for lunch on the weekend. The best thing is that parking at adjacent multi story garage is free at night or with validation during the day and they will always have a table for you the most we've ever waited was 10 to 15 minutes.”

Lam's Restaurant
Sep 11, 2007 by Lauri from Brookline
Overall Rating: 4
Food:[8] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[3]

• Food is good.
• rude wait staff every time I've been in - about 8 or 9 times, even takeout

“The food is good that's why I go back but the wait staff is so unfriendly. Recently they charged me a dinner price for a meal when I walked in 15 minutes before 3 (they serve lunch until 3) and they gave me the lunch menu. When I complained she said I didn't order until after 3. I said yeah I waited a while for you to take my order, she snapped "I came by your table but you were on the phone!" My daughter called me shortly after I sat down, I kept the call to 1:40 so they had plenty of time to take my order before 3. Besides, that takes a lot of nerve! They've always been curt with me, but this one takes the cake. She got zero tips and lost my business for good.”

Skipjack's Seafood Emporium
May 8, 2007 by Very Particular from Boston
Overall Rating: 5
Food:[3] • Service:[5] • Atmosphere:[5]

• The parking was ok.
• The food was terrible.

“Lots of care was taken in preparing the meals. Over the years, however, they have gotten very, very bad! Tried baked scrod on another visit and it was also bad. Save your money and go to a good seafood restaurant. Or stop by the supermarket and pick up a can of Chicken of the Sea or a box of those totally unelectable Gorton's things. At least you'd save money and can eat them in the comfort of your own home! ”
