    Supposedly 8oz of ribeye, sirloin and chuck beef. More like 4oz of garbage.
    Hester M.

    I wanted to love this place so much because of my love for their Allston/Brighton location. I hope this experience was just one off because it was terrible. Ordered the Harvard Club sub. Supposed to be 8oz custom blend of ribeye, sirloin and chuck with cheese lettuce, tomato, mayo and bacon. What I received was barely 4oz I'd say of two extremely thin patties like you'd find in the BJ's Wholesale freezer. Absolute huge disappointment. I was expecting two real burgers cooked to order and not this disgusting crap. I hope the owner sees this and addresses the issue. Almost $14 for this garbage.

    I like chicken broccoli Alfredo pizza very good and food service very nice he make for me frido bites very delicious

    Sub bomb
    Stephen W.

    My first time coming here it was very close to my hotel walk like 3 mins. On the menu does it really describe what's in the sub so when I asked, he said it comes with everything well I never been here before so I don't know what that is. I ordered the sub bomb. It was good. I need some salt and pepper has more flavor to steak more seasoning Comes with onions, peppers, and diced mushrooms and they say salami, but I didn't see any salami the size of the sub is about 7 incs for the ones that want to know paid 13.40 after tax the staff was pretty friendly. We should had more tables inside. It only had one. But I will be back and there is no sauce on the sub if it had a spicy chipotle mayonnaise that would've been a nice little touch, but it's OK. I would so recommending it. And try it again.

    I buy pizza at this place every few weeks and the standard cheese pizza is good. I tried the chicken Alfredo pizza which was good as well. But the margarita pizza almost had no mozzarella in it and looked nothing like it should. It was a cheese pizza with few tomatoes and some basil.

    Pizza with suspicious bites missing

    We've liked Maria's most times we've ordered, but today we received a pizza that looked like someone (or something) took a few bites out. Two stars because the food has tasted good in the past and they refunded without question. If Maria's gets its hygiene under control it'll be good again.

    Half pepperoni, half cheese

    Been meaning to try this spot for a while and finally called in an order for delivery the other night. Very quick delivery time, cheap, and super delicious! Thin crust, New York style pizza - we ordered half cheese, half pepperoni and a couple salads on the side. Couldn't have been happier with it! Will be ordering again soon!

The lobsters and mussels were steamed to perfection, and I enjoyed them very much. The lady at the cash register was very sweet and patient, and did let us know it would take a while as the seafood were steamed fresh. It came in about 10-15 mins, so it wasn't that bad. I could imagine the wait being longer if it was crowded. The only thing I wished was a little better was the seating/dining areas. The outdoor was nice with the picnic benches but it was way too hot to be outside. The indoor section looked like a middle school cafeteria shack...which was whatever. Overall, food and service were great, ambiance could be a little better! Appreciate the sink to wash your hands after eating. Oh also, a pair of shell crakcers would be nice...had to use my hands to crack the pre-cracked shells but they were a little challenging.

They bring it out when your order is ready. There indoor and outdoor seating which is nice especially in colder weather (which is when I came) to shield from the wind. I ordered the lobster sandwich ($32.95) which came with a bag of chips and it was very well filled and tasty. The seasoning was on point and didn't have too much mayo which highlighted the freshness of the lobster itself. I would definitely love to come back when lobster is in season for an even sweeter bite!

My mom was hungry so we opted to get a bowl of chowder to go and we put our name down at the restaurant next door who was UBER dog friendly and even gave my girl a dog bone when we checked in, and lots of pets. Anyways the clam chowder should be renamed to dill chowder because dang, why so much! And hardly any clam, mostly potatoes. Not a fan of the policy or the chowder, would not recommend

Unless you wanna wait an hour or so, it's best to arrive 30min before they open to beat the rush. It's incredibly cramped and rushed inside, and you may need to share a table with others if you're a smaller party. Food is quite pricey but well worth it. We ordered the oysters (they've got a variety so you can choose), clam chowder, lobster roll, cioppino, and johnnycake. Oysters were fine, but the clam chowder was absolutely dismal. Not sure what happened, especially since it's so highly rated, but it was extremely watery and almost completely unseasoned. It could've definitely used salt at the very least. If I didn't know it was from Neptune, I'd have given it a 2/10. To my relief, the lobster roll was the total opposite. Succulent, juicy, heavenly. It was like being in Maine. The cioppino was also very good. The Johnnycake was an interesting but fun way to end the meal. It's a sweet pancake-like cornmeal covered in a syrupy glaze and topped with smoked bluefish paste, crème fraiche and caviar. I've never had anything like it. Nothing was super overpriced, but I personally prefer next door (Paulini's), which is much cheaper and while it isn't as good, it also doesn't require waiting in an hour in line. However, I think Neptune's is definitely worth a try as long as you're willing to wait in line.

I had a couple of IPAs with the meal, and the beer selection held up. Service was good throughout. Friendly, attentive, and well paced. The space has a good vibe with great music playing, which added to the experience. The bar which I sat at itself is large, but it does feel a little cramped.

I'm happy to say the Hollows is fantastic and we can't wait to return. I was initially intrigued by the menu - for example, Caesar Cucumbers, Frisee Salad, Tripe, Octopus, Deviled Eggs, Chips and Queso, the Tagliatelle with Artichoke and Jalapeno - it was refreshing to see some unique dishes. The host and waitstaff are very hip - and also incredibly friendly! It was nice to feel like I was in a "cool" restaurant, but everyone was really kind. I love the space - an absolutely gorgeous and cozy indoor fireplace; we saw several solo diners seated at the fireplace with books and I'm tempted to return for a solo evening and sit by the fireplace myself. The bar area is great and very conducive to socializing. We sat in the main dining room, but I did notice they have a room off to the side; I'll file that away if I'm looking for a special occasion with a somewhat larger party. We ordered the Duxbury oysters (incredibly fresh and briny), deviled eggs (perfect paprika smokiness), chop suey, and phenomenal mussels steamed in green curry and mango (delicious and a nice kick of heat). I personally loved their $9 crisp prosecco on tap! We can't wait to return and try other items on the menu. I love that they source items locally - phenomenal gelato from Dragon Pizza and tea from MEM Tea in Davis Square. The owners stopped by various tables to check-in with customers and I believe I saw the chef out and about as well. It was honestly so refreshing to go out to a local restaurant with excellent vibes but also feel like the owners and staff are just genuinely really nice and aiming for customers to have a nice evening. I also think this is a great spot if you're looking for some solo dining, starting up conversations at the bar, or just date night or a family dinner. Highly recommend and we can't wait to return!
