I go here because I live within walking distance, can sit at the bar, and get a consistent burger. Watertown Center doesn't have a lot of restaurants or nightlife, so I'm glad its there. It's not a bad place, but it's a bit of a crap shoot. I always sit at the bar and try to go on the later side once the families with crying kids are gone.
Some of the bartenders are super friendly and make you feel welcome to spend your money there. However, som\e are really standoffish and you could have your food put down in front of you, an empty beer glass, and they couldn't be bothered trying to sell you another beer. So now I see who is at the bar first and then decide if I'm going in.
The entrees are OK, but some of the salads are really overpriced. For example, last night I got a goat cheese salad with steak tips that was about $16 and it was really small with not much meat. My boyfriend got a fish entree that was a lot more substantial for about the same amount of money. I'm not really looking for the huge portion that some chain restaurant goers look for, and would prefer quality, but I didn't feel it was good value. Some of the other dinner salads are also kind of stingy for what you pay for.

Nice atmosphere and a great bartender. My friend and I were able to get to a seat at the bar on a busy night. They have a nice beer selection including 90 minute Dogfish Head on tap. They have a great burger and the arrugala salad is super.
My only gripe was my 1800 margarita. It was good, but not worth the $17.50 that was on the bill.
I would go back, but won't veer from the drink menu.
