Kate "I am a Rock, I am an Island" G.'s Profile

Breakfast with a group of friends in the city landed us here and we were quite pleased with the results.

The staff was extremely accommodating and were able to find the only high chair in the place for our 14 month old and also allowed us to relax and take up a huge corner while we waited for our other friends to arrive.

The portions were huge, and the price certainly was right. I had a french toast meal with bacon and the toast was buttery and cooked just right and the bacon was crisp and hit the spot.

The atmosphere was definitely that of a dive bar as far as decor and such go but the food was plentiful, the staff was wonderful and the Sunday Brunch menu cannot be beat.

I have never been to a bakery of this caliber outside of the ones that I remember as a kid, and only one of them is even still open.

The staff is amazing. I was able to browse the vast selection of cakes, pastries, and other treats without being hustled around or pushed to order then when I was ready there was someone ready to take, package and get me on my merry way within minutes.

I was picking up just a few things for myself, my two daughters and my husband. The kids and the hubby were outside and I was left to my own devices with only a $20 bill.

To my happy surprise after choosing a giant chocolate swiss roll for the kids(big enough to more than satisfy both hungry children), a tiramasu for myself(which I am still working on), and a perfect slice of cheesecake for my husband I was expecting it to be at least half of my allowed spending and then the woman asked me politely for $5.05. I handed her the $20, took my change, left a dollar tip in the cute little smoky plastic tip jar and proceeded to share my joy with my husband and kids.

We enjoyed our feast and I am pretty sure this will become a regular stop.

Having received a gift certificate to here and being in the area for lunch today we stopped here.

The staff was great, as was the food.

The tvs were definitely overwhelming and a bit too loud for a Saturday afternoon but there was a large crowd for the Michigan game so I can't fault them for wanting to play on that part of the clientèle.  I just hope this is not always the case.

The price can't be beat, even without our gift cert we still would have been pleased with what we paid for our meal.

Weren't able to try the beer selection but is a reason for me to go back.

This place is a go to when we are in the Fenway area or before a game, even though generally right before game time there's a line. Try to go earlier to avoid this but well worth the wait if you get stuck in it.

They have the best seasonal and specialty beers on tap in the area and the staff is uber friendly. Even the bouncers are really cool.

The atmosphere is relaxed and laid back. This location I have noticed is a bit more cramped then the other ones and a bit darker but if you aren't trying to crowd around the bar and get a table you won't even notice.

Beer wise get the blueberry beer! It is amazing and perfect any time of year. Their appetizers are a good pre-game snack, I love the nachos and make sure to get them loaded.

All in all a really fun game time atmosphere.

This is our Domino's delivery place.

We do all of the ordering online and generally within or before the timer runs out on the little online icon we have our pizza.

The pizza is wonderful, but their creations seems to lack. Don't bother with the pasta bread bowl things cuz as good as the pasta is the bread bowl thing itself isn't too enticing.

Although we have little interaction with the staff the delivery guys are always really nice and like I said get it there quickly.

Honey Dew is a favorite stop when I am on the North Shore. Unlike bigger chains they have a wider variety of iced and hot coffees, a huge selection of donuts, pastries and other treats and the cost is much lower.

I like this one because it is always a fast trip and the drive thru is an easy on/off of the main road. The people here are excellent and the place is large enough to eat in or take out.

And they have the best and the biggest iced coffees in the area!

I have been so hesitant to write this review but now that I am in the right frame of mind and can accurately put into words how awful this company is might as well write it...

So where does one start?

Oh I know ordering me checks telling me they will be delivered to my house, waiting for almost 3 months for them then being told that they are at the bank. Which I opened the account at, an hour away and they can't send them out. Apparently I was supposed to have been told this information at the beginning but Mr. TD left this out when I was opening my account. So I drive the hour and they're there. At least they were there. Maybe that's the one star?

Banking always has its ups and downs. But when a bank consistently is down more than up you have to worry. The service was never quick, efficient or even accurate.

The people were nothing wonderful, not anything like what Regis and Kelly advertise now. Unless they did a complete overhaul and got rid of everyone who couldn't or wouldn't answer questions accurately or even at all.

By the end of my sentence with these people I was more than 400 bucks in unnecessary fees and the only way for them to reverse them and even offer a resemblance of an apology was to contact the Better Business Bureau after trying to go through their useless, contradicting and condescending bureaucracy. Customer Service is not a term the people I dealt with through this company understand, try to implement or seem to notice.

I left, and as I said had to contact the BBB(http://www.BBB.org) to get my money back and to close my account. Even though their rules clearly stated, even in the fine print, that I did nothing wrong but instead of adhering to their own standards I was charged with unnecessary fee on top of unnecessary fee until I had enough.

Never again. Never.

It's a Masonic Building as is discovered once you drive close to its huge entrance complete with Mason symbols everywhere before you walk in.

The museum is free but they will gladly take donations. The exhibits all focus around Masons during the nation's founding and I have to admit were very well put together. The building itself is beautiful!

The staff was friendly and the library looked very stocked with all the history(that they will disclose).

They will soon be exhibiting a piece on the symbols of D.C and the Masons which I will be back for.

All in all very interesting but NOT an accurate depiction of America's Heritage. Very slanted but it's obvious why.

Still a great place to go on a rainy day and its FREE! Bonus!

A full meal plus extras for late night hunger plus yummy mixed drinks for less than fifty bucks! Yup. That would be the Jade.

Came here on a mission for something spicy and different. In our quest we drove by here and after short debate had to try it.

The decor is very classic 1970s ish Chinese Restaurant which is by no means a bad thing. The staff were super friendly and the food complimented just right.

With a massive PuPu Platter, an order of Fried Rice, a Planter's Punch(which at only $5 was a steal and tasty and full of alcohol!) and this massive plate of hot/spicy scallops covered in the chef's sauce. It was amazing.

I will be back just to sample other concoctions on the drink and food menu.

Not a place to miss if you are in the Billerica/RT 3A area!

Not impressed.

The place was mobbed when we went. The people who work there are just there to take your cash and move you along. The black lights are cheesy and it looks like a setup for a whorehouse more than anything.

I had high hopes but will stick with outdoor mini golf.

Complete ripoff for what you pay too. Stay Away!
