Great atmosphere all around. It's a pretty large restaurant, so even though we didn't have a reservation, we were luckily able to get seated right away without much of a wait. It was a beautiful day, so we ate out on the patio, which was lovely. The food was phenomenal and came out surprisingly fast! They bring out a phenomenal bread basket to start--the focaccia with olive oil was so delicious I definitely ate way too much of it before our actual meal arrived. For our meal, we had the Truffle Arancini and the Ziti in Pink Sauce, paired with a Shirley Temple and a Classic Hugo Spritz. The portions were large, tasted incredible, and everything was perfect from start to finish. We could not have been more impressed with the service. Our server was amazing and kept checking in on us throughout our visit to make sure we had everything we needed. She even wrote "Have a Great Day!" on our receipt at the end. Superb food, wonderful patio dining, and outstanding staff. If you are ever in the Providence area, definitely check them out--they are quite good. Highly recommend!

The floor-to-ceiling window wall opens up onto the patio section which overlooks the Neponset River. Views are lovely and the atmosphere is so peaceful. However, the food is shockingly mediocre in relation to the whole scene here (and mediocre is generous to say). My friend and I ordered the eggplant rollatini to start. Half of it was COLD and the other half luke-warm. Makes me think it was a microwaved dish. For my entree, I ordered the bucatini & meatballs. The bucatini by itself was good pasta, but the bland sauce and meatballs ruined it. Both were lacking flavor and meatballs were so dry, they were crumbling on my plate. We ordered the tiramisu cake to share for dessert, which was easily the best part of my meal and what I'm giving 2 stars for. I would only come back here to sit outside and have some drinks, but can't say I would recommend the food here :(

Magic...Come for wine, and stay awhile!…read more Calling all wine lovers, and/or people who enjoy great wine. Jadu is a chic wine bar in Jamaica Plain that I had the privelege of checking out for the first time with friends. Located on the busy Centre street, this posh wine bar is something to talk about. Our server Alex gratiously mentioned some of their wine specials. We opted to stick to the menu, which had a lot to choose from. I recommend trying out a few different varietals, your palate will thank you :) I tried their Rose Pet-Nat which was phenomenal and everyone else had something different. Their menu is small, tapas style but yet so delicious and eloquent. We shared their Whipped Feta, Bread & Whipped Butter, Salad and Rice Pudding for dessert. Everything was spectacular! For 4 people we were full, but I could've stayed for more wine. There's never a dull moment when it comes to wine, right! I know that Boston has a ton of wine bars, but Jadu is something special. From the cozy ambiance to their fabulous and fun wine selections, it felt like I was in my own living room. And, maybe that is the vibe that are going for, but nevertheless they are worth a visit. Jadu means Magic in Hindi! Cheers~

I'd definitely come back to check that out. I tried the hot cocoa and the Maggi. The hot cocoa was delicious, rich and chocolatey without being overly thick or heavy. The Maggi had some really fun and unique ingredients, including avocado, and the tofu was especially well seasoned and flavorful. The only downside was the broth. It was labeled as a soup, but it felt incredibly watered down and lacked the depth of flavor I was expecting especially since I grew up eating maggi. The toppings and ingredients themselves were good, but the broth didn't quite bring everything together. My husband got the tuna salad bowl and enjoyed it.

With a reservation there was no wait and we were seated outside on a lovely August evening. Wine was cold and ambience was great. Food-wise, Corn Soup and Watermelon/tomato Salad were wonderful starters. The main entrees of Salmon Salad, Seared Scallops, Fresh Trout, and Steak were perfect. Two notes: they subbed green beans for asparagus and did not tell us. It was fine and we enjoyed them, but e we did expect asparagus which is a bit more elegant than green beans. They just should have mentioned it. Also, the steak was ordered medium rare, but arrived well-done. Again, it was good, but that detail is an important one if you're a steak connoisseur. I am not, but the guest who ordered it is. They were not thrilled, but did not wish to wait 25 minutes for a new one. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. Final bill was expensive, but we knew that going in. Overall, a fun evening out with very good food and service. The small details kept it from being 5-stars. Will certainly visit again at some point.

They have a limited menu but an extensive selection of scotch and wine. I sat at the bar where the bartender could have cared Lee if I was there. He spent all his time catering to group at the end of the bar. I had to get up and ask the waitress to check on my cheeseburger. The bartender just did not care. I thought the price for a simple cheeseburger at 22.00 as steep. There was nothing special about it. Cheese, hamburger, bun and some jalapeño relish. Take your chances just don't sit at the bar instead sit at a table where the service is better.

Filet Mignon* 10 oz - medium , great as well so juicy and tasty 4. Creamed Corn with Bacon - was good as well, didn't come with much bacon as expected but still good. 5.

The table was a bit tight, but we made it work. Our server was kind. We started with chorizo and cheese. The chorizo was similar to meat from A charcuterie board, so for the price, we would definitely skip ordering the cheese and chorizo. Other than those 2 dishes, we would order everything again! The potatoes, carrots and mushrooms were bomb! They were each so good. I'd order all 3 again. The chicken was also really good. The potatoes tapas is the same as the potatoes that come with the chicken, so no need to order both, unless you love potatoes. that being said, the potatoes were so good that we couldn't stop eating them. We'll definitely come back since this is in the neighborhood. I recommend giving it a try.

It is not easy to gain access to this place…read more I arrived here at noon on a sunday, eager to start a UYE day drinking campaign. The door was locked, and the windows were opaque. I wasn't sure if the bar was abandoned, closed, or if they were just unwilling to accept my business. Moments later, what could only be a "regular" sullenly unlocked and opened the door for me. I asked "are you open?" and got an affirmative grunt in response. Master McGrath's is actually quite spacious and clean; the bar has about 15 seats, and is well-lined with small flat-screen TVs, the better to see the Sox beat the snot out of the O's. They have an internet jukebox, and a popcorn machine for free snacking. I knew right away that I was in a bar frequented almost exclusively by regulars; the surprisingly cute female bartender was eager to prepare drinks for the customers walking *in from the back door* before they sat down. I received a fairly standard silent-treatment half hour, followed by a cautious inclusion in some casual conversation. Being a gregarious individual, I soon was laughing and chatting with the regulars, and even had one of them buy me a drink, a favor I returned later. I was not able to get a Jameson - the man who bought me the drink explained that "if there's a bottle of Jameson, I'll drink it all." Of course, I didn't know if he was a manager, owner, or regular customer, but he is apparently important enough to the management that in an Irish pub, they don't stock Jameson. The buffalo fingers are top feckin' shelf. Definitely worth ordering. Hyde Park is a neighborhood that could use some more folks making the trip down to see. Lisa, the bartender, is cute and friendly, and will chat you up about shark week. All in all, not a bad way to spend three hours on a Sunday afternoon.
