Absolutely one of the best restaurants I've ever had the pleasure to experience. I've eaten here twice, so far; once for a birthday celebration with my family, who were all visiting, (this was at the old Gloucestor St. location), and secondly during restaurant week for their lunch with my mother & some good friends.
Dinner was the more spectacular of the two; 5 courses, each paired with wine, multiple waiters providing hover service (but not overbearing); just a brilliant evening.
Lunch was still excellent, though the value of lunch here is a bit tough when it's not a discounted restaurant week-style affair.
For a special occasion dinner, however, it's absolutely stellar; a must-go.

It's Redbones. In Kendall Square. Granted, not the full menu, but a solid representation of the awesome that is Redbones. So far, I've only had the pulled pork sandwich each time I've been, and it's awesome super saucy, tasty, the kind of pulled pork that you need to eat fast as you can before the sandwich falls apart on you!
My coworkers & I have definitely added this spot to our lunch rotation, and you should too!

Go for the brunch; it's brilliantly tasty. Went there with a (now ex) girlfriend and a fellow couple, and we had an excellent time! Service was friendly, though a bit busy, and sitting on the roof-top in the sunshine is definitely where it's at.

I'd been recommended to go to Drink at least a half-dozen times, and finally headed over there with my good friend Christine M. (http://www.yelp.com/us...) & a friend of hers.
I have to mention that it was Bastille Day, and the reason for this was that they were making all of their cocktails with either a French theme or French liquor. I ordered up an old fashioned, and they mixed it with armagnac, and damn, was it tasty! The girls had a bubbly-infused drink & a gin-like drink, and we all enjoyed a few more after that.
We had one or two appetizers, and they were quite tasty, but definitely small portioned.
As for the service? Impeccable! Very attentive, fun, and conversational. I've been back a few times since, and it's always been excellent.

I connected with a number of recruiters in my job search, and Workbridge was the only one that consistently kept in touch, keeping three of its associates working to find me a new position. In especial, Dan McGuigan kept the fires burning, and came through for me, landing me a brilliant gig at a great company.

Capt's is the host of Build Guild Salem, a monthly meetup of web developers & other like-minded web industry folks, and this past Tuesday they hosted the 3rd anniversary, which was a record-breaking 90 people!
They had plenty of waitstaff on duty to handle the huge numbers, and were friendly and courteous all night. In especial, I had placed an order that was lost in the shuffle, and even though the kitchen had closed, on of the waiters promptly got my food taken care of when I notified her.
One of the waiters even got into the spirit of things & put one of our "Twitter handle" nametags on, brilliant fun.
All in all, three cheers to Capt's!

I've worked for Elative since 2009 as a web developer, and I've always been glad to be part of the team. The level of quality has always been stellar, and the focus is always on the client & delivering the best possible work.
Went here on a dinner date w/ my girlfriend, and it was super tasty! Had a bunch of sashimi, as well as some nigiri sushi, and it was all really fresh, and pretty big too!
Service was great; very friendly & polite. Definitely added to my list of great sushi places in Boston.

So, some friends & I hit up The Asgard almost every Monday because they've got a 10¢ chicken wings special; sit in the bar area, buy one drink $5 or more, and enjoy all the $1 plates of wings you can eat!
Since we're regulars, we've gotten very friendly with the staff, and they're awesome. The wings are tasty, a few different sauces, and the beers are great. Only trouble is finding a table... get there early!
