Dunn Gaherin's Food & Spirit
Jan 16, 2009 by Ellen from Needham
Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Great food. Great service.
• Can be loud in the dining area but still worth it.

“Have been enjoying this restaurant almost weekly since discovering it about a year ago. All the staff are exceptionally friendly and inviting and truly concerned about the customer's experience. The homemade soups are superb and the daily specials are imaginative as well as always delicious. The portions are generous. Although usually no room for dessert the dessert menu is impressive.”

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

• Very welcoming, accepts most credit cards, extensive & inexpensive menu.
• Only seats approximately 80 people.

“Have often driven by, but no more. Near public transportation with handicapped access. The five-page inexpensive menu includes beer, wine, and mixed drinks and a separate page of daily specials. Note: be sure to watch for the proprietors' sense of humor.”

Skip Jacks Restaurant

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

• 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.”
