John A.'s Profile

Super friendly staff, very knowledgable. I know nothing about bead but my daughter has really expressed an interest and went here to get some direction on how to get my budding artist started and was treated wonderfully from the moment I walked in. Explanations on different classes she could take, projects we could work on together and a ridiculous selection. Didn't spend a dime(yet) however was treated as a paying customer which in Cambridge doesn't always happen. Looking forward to doing business on the regular with these fine folks.

I was pretty satisfied with the drinks and the cuisine, however I really have no idea how they justify the prices of their entrees. It definitely has a cool feel and is a great place, if you can get in to have some good conversation over drinks or food(I haven't even bothered to go on a Friday or Saturday night) I guess the biggest appeal is that I wish there were more places like this and less chains but you can drive elswhere and have a much better, more economical alternative but it is 5 minutes from where I live and the options in the area are scarce.

This is a new establishment with a rich history in cuisine. Taking the traditional idea of a sandwich shop and turning it into a small town bistro you can get traditional sandwiches done with flare, like the Fenway( 1/2 pound of italian sausage with sauteed peppers and onions, The Merrill( Chicken Parmesan topped with a special blend of four cheeses, you can also get some less conventional subs that are sure to impress like the LA( herb grilled chicken breast, rosemary roasted grapes and a creamy brie spread with mescuin greens and beefsteak tomatoes. With a large selection of beverages, and authentic Italian groceries including porcini and basil oils as well as vinegars, cookies, a full line of deli meats and all the appropriate condiments and Piantedosi rolls to make your own gourmet creations, there is a little for everyone. Very warm and cozy feeling, seating is limited but there are always Red Sox games or popular movies playing on the TV there, so stop by and say HI. It is a very family friendly culinary adventure waiting for you to give it a shot. Places like this are local and should be supported for there innovation and desire to serve the public.
