It was ok. But for the price, it was bad. My friend ordered a super spicy version of they ramen. I dont even remember what it as, all I know is that it's the spiciest that have to offer. The soup came out not spicy at all. They didn't add their spice! After asking them about it, they gave us the spice on the side to put in to our liking. But if that's the case, why advertise it as 20 chilli peppers, or whatever it is on the menu? They could have used a simple 'x' to denote that you control the level of spiciness. Anyway, it just seem that they forgot to put it in, and just gave to us on the side. I got some chicken ramen with bamboo shoots. The broth was flavorful, but the chicken and pork has no flavor. It was kinda dry for my liking. I also ordered a pork bun to try, and it was asuper fatty and bland. Overall, it's not worth the money. Speaking of money, they're cash only.

We had the absolute best time. We sat outside at the picnic tables and listened to live music. The servers were very attentive and offered our pup refills on his water. The wait can be long, so come prepared for that. Best BBQ I've ever eaten. Loved this place. Can't wait to go back.

This place has pretty good food, a nice quiet atmosphere, as well as a friendly and helpful staff. Also, the food presentation is quite remarkable. On top of all this the restaurant is right on Boylston in the heart of Boston and right near all the great little shops. Downsides? The whole restaurant is underground and, while the decor is certainly nice, sometimes it gives off the feel of being closed in. Also, I suspect the put MSG in their food but didn't ask.

Playing salsa at a Polynesian inspired restaurant? You can do better. Overpriced tiki drinks? Normal. Sushi? Hole in the walls do the job. Overall you're not here for that, probably finished your day in the office working in finance and could care less so here you are, at the perfect place for those who don't give a damn. �?it's ok.

The place is really beautiful, you can buy all the art including the chairs and anything you can see. Big round bar in the middle surrounded by what looks like two dining rooms one either side. Came in with a group of people, not too busy for it being a Saturday Night. Asked if we could sit at a high top table or had to order from the bar, were told that a server would be right over if we wanted a bar table. 4 people sat at the table and me and another at the bar. Bartender came over and took our drink order, took a little on the longer side but not too bad, it was a short male bartender. No one ever came over to take our friends drink order. No one also ever came back to check on me and my friend, finally I asked someone who was doing dishes if he could take a drink order, he was just the barback and said he would send over a server. No one came over, the bartenders were all just talking and using their phones by the computer area where they wring in orders. Asked the bar back again if he could just order 4 drinks for our friends. We just picked a drink of the menu for them. No one came over, this whole process was over 30 minutes long, finally I asked the bar back again, as no server ever came over, if we could just get the check so we could leave. Again nothing happened, finally a female girl game over and set four drunks at the end of the bar in front of us, didn't say anything and just left them and walked away. We were still waiting for the check and I was so annoyed at this point, I was asking my friend if we should just leave and refuse the drinks, About a minute later the same woman came back, pushed the four drinks closer to us and walked away again. We took the drinks to our friends and stayed at the table. A short male bartender came over and dropped our check, he asked one of the people who had been at the table the whole time if he enjoyed himself and my friend told him actually no, based on how long drinks took and what really seemed to be rude service, he said he was sorry then put his hand on my back and goes but I bet your friend here had a good time, (he was the first bartender who made me and my friends drink) and I repeated my frustration with the long drink time and the rude feeling I had also. He said, well hopefully next time you have a better experience and left, and so goes my last time at Liquid Art Bar.

This was a quaint lovely little restaurant that satisfied our needs. We came here specifically because it was listed as a Gluten Free spot. They had a fair amount of gluten free entree options, but sadly no GF bread. Great wine selection and great service. The staff was very hospitable and kind. The items here are pricier than some of the other Italian spots on the North End, but I'd say this place has quality over everything going for it.
