Went here over the weekend and it was great. We had about 10 different items on the menu and ALL of them were great. The highlight of the evening was the steak. It was cooked perfectly and the bleu cheese was fantastic. I'd go here again in a heartbeat if I could.

The setting is really cute, the log cabin is cozy (be sure to duck when you enter the door).

I had the sea scallop appetizer and the filet entree. Both were prepared wonderfully. The fish was light with a lovely sauce and the beef was tender and tasty. I didn't try the desert, but one of the folks I was with, said it was fantastic.

We had a lovely meal at Fattoush this weekend. The hummus appetizer was wonderful and the lamb beriani was super tasty.

I would be happy to give 4 stars except the service was terrible. It took way too long for us to even see a server to place our order and when we wanted the check at the end of the night, we had to wait forever to pay.

This place was awesome. Went here last night based on the reviews provided here by other users and weren't let down. We were looking for a place convenient to an airport hotel that wasn't an overpriced hotel restaurant and we were very happy with the decision.

The décor is great and the staff was extremely helpful. They were happy to oblige when we asked them to turn down the music and even all signed a birthday card for the birthday in our group.

I don't want to be the one to totally disagree with everyone else, but I just wasn't that impressed. Went a few nights ago and have definitely had better. I had the halibut and I thought the pesto topper definitely detracted from a very well cooked piece of fish. Another in my party had some rather chewy, not so tasty beef tenderloin. Only saving grace was the tasty cheese plate we ordered as an appetizer. Probably won't be going back.

Went here for dinner last night and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Onion soup and steak diane were right on the money (although the steak was slightly over cooked). I also highly recommend the chocolate souffle.

The ambiance wasn't particularly sheik and the service was a little bit funky - they brought my souffle before my dining companions had the opportunity to even order from the dessert menu.

Had a fantastic dinner here on our way through Limerick. Enjoyed two pasta dishes and some of the best mussels I've ever had. Definitely recommend very highly!

Wandered in off the street on a whim and were really impressed by the boxty. We had the vegetarian chili and the seafood both of which were great. Definitely don't miss the boxty desert (warm banana with butterscotch); it was delicious. Definitely check this out if you are looking for an easy place to drop in to.

Christin is great! We originally found her online and were really excited by the photos she had posted on her website and blog. She was the first and only photographer we spoke to; she was super friendly and all of her sample work was fantastic.

Because we were planning our wedding from the other side of the country, it was really important to select a photographer who was flexible and easy to get in touch with. Working with Christin was a breeze, she was super responsive (both email and phone) and always made time for an in-person meeting when we were in town.

On the day of the wedding, Christin was unobtrusive - we hardly even noticed she was there! - and took wonderful photos. We just got some prints in the mail and can't wait to put them up on the wall they are so stunning. She did an amazing job capturing our guests and even managed to get most of them laughing or grinning from ear to ear.

Post-wedding, Christin has been super prompt in getting photos posted online and sending us our DVD.

All in all, we can't speak highly enough of Christin and her work. We'd highly recommend her to any couple in the Boston area.

We ordered wedding favors from Daily Chocolate and were amazed at how good they were. We asked for assorted chocolates so that each box was different and our guests could have fun trading with each other if there were some that they liked better than others. Every single guest we've spoken to complimented us on the chocolates and asked where we had ordered them from. The presentation was fantastic and the team at Daily Chocolate was a pleasure to work with - we even ordered over the phone! I highly recommend Daily Chocolate!
