I loved my experience at Mooncusser. The tasting menu was fun and innovative. The wine pairings were at times funky but spot on and wonderful. The Mezcal cocktail was smoky and delicious. My bartender/server Grant made the whole night even more special with his menu descriptions and conversation. Highly recommend!

The food was delicious and I loved the ambience. The cocktails were a bit pricey at $16-$20 but that seems to be the standard here in Boston. If you want to have a romantic and quiet evening I do recommend Terra. Our waiter also gave us a sweet cream gelato to celebrate my fiancé and I’s engagement! It was a great time!

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. Unique and flavorful. Charred cabbage was exotic, the fish tacos perfect and the baby back ribs delicious. The butterscotch is to die for.

Another wonderful meal and evening at Pammy’s, this time for a birthday celebration with a party of 5. Price-Fixe menu was great. I loved the Cobia and Squid Ink gnocchi. I was too full to complete the lumache, but took it home and it was excellent the next day. The lamb saddle, yakitori chicken and lasagna also got excellent reviews. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.
