B.K. D.'s Profile

Atmosphere was pretty awesome - curb appeal drew us in randomly as we wandered from the hotel. Service was good - very polite despite both me and my colleague being in casual dress. Food was lacking, however.

Munched from the breadbasket - dry. Ordered the Soft-shell crab special. It had a pesto sauce that just completely killed the meal. My colleague said the same pesto was used with his tomato and mozzarella salad having the same effect. Fries and steak both underwhelming as well despite that being one of the main reasons we ate there.

I think the older gentleman waiter was a bit surprised and asked if we wanted a few more bites of our meal before calling it quits. We got the hint and asked for the food to be packaged, got our check and left.

Surprisingly, the Men's bathroom was quite small, having one urinal and one stall - sans door. Strange considering the image they were trying to portray out front.

I can't think of a bad thing to say about this place. I ordered out from Dining In and had one of the appetizer combos, General Gau(?) chicken and Jumbo Shrimp Lomein.

The boneless pork in the appetizer was not too greasy through the chicken wings were a bit overcooked and the egg rolls a little greasier than I prefer.

The General Gau was great though I'm not used to seeing small jalepeno slices in the dish - on the whole it's usually a red pepper.

The angel-hair sized lo mein threw me off. I'm used to spaghetti sized - I would have liked more Jumbo Shrimp to be in better proportion with the noodles.

But definitely a satisfying meal and there are many Chinese places you cannot say that about.

My first time eating there was last week. I needed breakfast but didn't want the usual Dunkin Donuts fare so I headed down Pi Alley and found Floramo's.

Plus, they take credit cards with no minimum purchase limit, so that was helpful.

I had two eggs scrambled, homefries, bacon and wheat toast.

* The eggs were OK, probably the only thing made fresh.

*The homefries tasted stale like they had been cooked hours before, left out to get dry and tough and kept warm

* The bacon was still a little chewy but black and a bit overcooked

* The bread used for the wheat toast was extremely thin.

At least the Dunkin Donuts sandwiches taste good.

Another voice on the Washington St location - I certainly echo Emily R. The sushi is OK but incredibly expensive. I really love their Ueno Maki Combo - it's the perfect combination of flavors but there's just not enough to justify the price. However, it's convenient to my office and the farthest place I've ventured from it so far - my own fault.

I must share an office building with my fellow reviewers, though I travel down 10 floors by elevator and a few steps out the back door to pick up lunch. I'm an unimaginative foodie - I often try a few things and then get them over and over again. The pizza-by-the-slice is not too shabby. Not overly greasy but not to dry or overcooked. Neither are the toppings bland or overpowering - except the Buffalo Chicken Pizza which is too hot for my taste. Nothing overly remarkable.

I do have a soft spot for The Hercules sandwich on Foccacia - a chicken cutlet with italian dressing and feta. The tastes are a pefect blend and make for a great lunch.

Went there for the first time tonight. The atmosphere was cozy and warm with a post-holiday glow about it. The decor is tasteful and plush. Though it was full, it was quiet enough to have a great conversation.

The waitstaff is nice and attentive - for the first half of our meal the waitress looked at our table every time she walked past to make sure water was filled and that we weren't awaiting anything new.

That being said, we weren't terribly impressed with the food. For appetizers we had the Sweet Corn Crab Cakes with Chipotle Aioli and the Iceberg Wedge with Blue Cheese and Bacon. The crab cakes were a bit bland though had a nice crunch, (due to use of Panko for crumbs said my wife), and appeared to be mostly crab - I couldn't really taste it. The aioli was inconsistantly spicy. It was either really hot or tasted like a flavored mayo. The blue cheese dressing was runny and milky - I expected a bit more thickness and stronger blue cheese taste.

We both chose specials for our entree  - pork loin with a raisin chutney, mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus & a pasta dish of chicken, peas, carrots in a creamy tomato sauce.

The chops were thinner than expected and quite bland. I figured the chutney was to make up for that but I couldn't manage to get a bite of each at the same time. Conversely the pasta was strong in comparison though nothing special.

The best thing about the meal was the dessert - warm chocolate truffle cake with hazlenut praline ice cream and caramel sauce. We split it and it was delicious.

The price point was pretty high - not sure if it's worth giving it another try. We prefer Stregas - it is closer and the food is much better.

I tend to order the same items at every Chinese food place I go - General Tso/Gao/Mao Chicken, Lo mein (usually the House Special with chicken, beef and shrimp), and some sort of appetizer. I used to go with the Crab Rangoon but recently had a hankering for the Boneless Pork Ribs.

I echo the sentiments of Lia - delivery averages between 45min to an hour, (I'm about a mile away), never had any problems ordering with a credit card and getting them to add a tip for the driver in advance.

The General Tso is good - not too greasy, not overly crispy, the sauce is just the right spicyness and thickness - I started  getting my Tso on at Kiki's which was hideous and then Honga but found Sun Garden to be better.

My only complaint is that bigger shrimp should be used in the Lo Mein or Fried Rice so deveining is possible. There's nothing more nasty than dirty-tasting, gritty, shrimp.
