To sum my experiences: -Busy and long waits if you go when the day is near a holiday. -Dinner AYCE is a rip off -Lunch and Late night is not bad -You NEVER get everything (the full amount) you order. Depending on your judgement of how much you think you can eat, it is a good or bad thing. -Sushi is decent, very average, I'm not into sashimi so I can't comment on that. -A lot of my friends have sworn to never go back because they have gotten food poisoning from there. So far I haven't but it makes me go to other sushi places instead.

I ordered mine from Amazon Restaurants using their $10 off coupon. We live close (we have a long commute to work on I4 everyday and did not want to go back out and pick up) but the delivery arrived at a decent time, around 30 minutes from ordering, I believed, and the food was still warm. He got the burger with a fried egg, and seasoned fries and I recommended him get the brigadeiro for dessert. He liked the burger and fries and thought the dessert was good. I got the shrimp plate, with chilled quinoa and grilled vegetables but when it arrived I saw that they added white rice which is fine. The quinoa was really good and everything tasted good together. I'm giving 3 stars because I think they could have given more shrimp. The protein is the highlight (the reason why I ordered) the dish. The brigadeiro was small, but soooo rich, if you are a chocolate lover you should try it. We also got yuca fries because you need to spend $35 with Amazon restaurants to get free delivery. This restaurant is also in UberEats I think I will stick to Uber because Amazon throws in both a tip and delivery fee and Uber only charges a "fee." Forgot to mention, there is another restaurant just like this one that is nearby and they cook basically the same thing, and it's called Green Kitchen, also Brazilian owned. There also on UberEats. It's a great restaurant for healthy eaters (Healthy as in fitness type healthy good where your your protein, carb and vegetables)

Tasty Burger is open late - Boston needs more late-night choices, but the food isn't good.

Truly a 4.5, but Yelp won't allow that. I came here on a busy Valentine's Day. No reservation? No problem. Both the front and back bar are open seating - first come, first serve. People hovered with their backs to the bar, waiting to spot a table of diners soon to open. Luckily, a kind table understood the intentions of these hungry, looming patrons; and we made eye contact with a gentleman submitting his tab... table secured. Manhattan, Makers, up. Our cocktails came quickly, and they were stiff. Our appetizer shortly after that. Of the 15 or so stuffed, deep-fried and dipped appetizers, we landed on the BACON-WRAPPED, DUNGENESS CRAB STUFFED PRAWNS. Four of them lay in a pool of hollandaise-type reduction. $14. Get these. I'll have the Steak and Lobster Special: an 8 oz. Filet & 8 oz. Lobster Tail (Maine) served with Potato Croquettes and Roasted Vegetables and Drawn Butter. Medium-Rare. $78. My date, the same. Is that the Blazers game on the TV in the bar? My drink, so stiff... And my hand all too clumsy in the dark den of the dining area. Splash. I'm so embarrassed. Our server is melancholic, forgiving. She promptly provides me a new napkin and another stiff Manhattan, filled to the brim. We have to ask for water (ugh, I know). How long has it been? An hour since we ordered? I do not care, though some may. Our conversation and complimentary sourdough bread erase our minds of the clock... We order another round. Slightly tipsy (lol ;))... Our food arrives just moments after our server/babysitter returns with our beverages. 1 hour & 15 minutes at a peak-time on a peak-night. Glorious food! Steak! A perfect Filet, tender and packed with flavor. Lobster with a dish of Drawn Butter! Amazingly robust, the butter coating each piece of thick lobster meat. The Croquettes... cheesy, crunchy, warm! Everything I ate was perfectly prepared. I spend a moment recalling the best meals of my life... amongst my Mt. Rushmore of Meals (top-4), this is! Vegetables? Nothing to see here. A roasted tomato, a piece of yellow zucchini, a piece of green zucchini and five green beans. I pay no mind, I have far more important business (Drawn Butter) of which to attend! Time to go, we have been here for hours. $217 + tip. Two filets, two tails, one appetizer, 6 drinks (I really had 3 1/2 drinks, she rounded DOWN). An amazing dinner. Service had its downs... in a packed house, I give a pass. Oh, and my girlfriend caught a food-borne illness, and it may or may not have been from this meal. Tough so say... I imagine the historic Jake's Crawfish has their game figured out; though, maybe once in a BLEU moon. Lol.

Came here with my brother a couple of weeks ago after a long night. Needless to say-we ordered everything: the waffle nachos, eggrolls, the donut burger. Everything was good. I will definitely come back when I need some greasy and creative hangover food.

Had the brocheta and it was amazing, but importantly, the happy hour 7 days a week is priceless. Good food and descent portions appetizers . Try it!
