Somerville, MA: EVOO - "Worth a try"

2007-10-09T08:22:41-07:00

Review of EVOO at 118 Beacon St, Somerville, MA 02143-4304

I wasn’t sure what to expect from EVOO, given the cute name, and “eclectic” menu. Is it schizophrenic and unfocused or creative and versatile? The chef’s approach, as explained by our waiter, is to pick the best local ingredients, and then co...

Amazing, decadent sushi and Japanese cuisine. Variety of atmospheres to choose from, from private rooms to the sushi bar. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Everything we tried from the huge and varied menu was impeccable. They offer both very traditional and modern dishes, and all a...

Review of Peach Farm Restaurant at 4 Tyler St, Boston, MA 02111-1904

by CathyMeyerStein:

Excellent Chinese food. My friends and I ate the beef in black pepper sauce, which is absolutely addicting. The roast duck was crispy and perfect, and the sea conch in black bean sauce was surprisingly tender and tasty. Prices are fair, and the atmosphere is casual.

Review of Orleans Bar & Restaurant at 65 Holland St, Somerville, MA 02144

by CathyMeyerStein:

I went there on Monday night with two friends. We ate on the patio. Service was slow, but the food was delicious. We ate: Signature mussels app, pork loin a la saltimbocca, and arancini app. The arancini were little balls of risotto with meat (likely ground beef) and peas, deep fried to cr...

Review of Neighborhood Restaurant at 25 Bow St, Somerville, MA 02143-2933

by CathyMeyerStein:

We went there for Sunday brunch – at about 3 in the afternoon. It was the only time they didn’t have a line halfway down the block. I have to say, this is one of those restaurants where I heard it was good, but didn’t expect much. It’s actually good! At least, the f...

Review of Craigie Street Bistrot at 5 Craigie Cir, Cambridge, MA 02138-3466

by CathyMeyerStein:

I can’t love this place more. The atmosphere is laid-back, yet classy. The wait staff are attentive without being obtrusive, and knowledgeable without being elitist. i.e. The wait staff wear jeans, but know the wine list by heart, and don’t push the most expensive choices if you...
