    I'm not a native east coaster but I have been out here a long time now, so when my wife suggested during my current vegetarian kick now to try Clover I was surprised I hadn't heard of them before. We stopped by yesterday for dinner and had some lovely "Nashville Hot" Mushroom sliders which did indeed were pretty hot. Really delicious food, some of the best pita bread I've had. I think Clover is the first place I've been where they are happy to 100% document their process for making their pita on the wall as well as documenting their story over the past 10+ years as well. The Burlington space itself is I guess kind of "understated" no thrills or fancy dining, but I appreciated that basically everything was compostable, and appreciated the staff being friendly and engaging with it being my first time there and trying to figure out what to get.

    Stone in the food

    Just ordered a Mediterranean bowl from Clover. It had a small stone in it. Fortunately did not eat it accidentally but never going to order from them

    Egg and eggplant platter

    Been to the Cambridge and Boston locations several times and am always amazed by the quality of food at Clover. Tried their blueberry muffin for the first time and they served it warm! It was delicious with a hint of ginger and I would love to get my hands on their recipe to recreate at home - it was that good! Ordered the egg and eggplant platter - one of my go to favorites. It is very filling and I had to save half for tomorrows lunch. Service at all locations is always quick and friendly. Orders need to be placed and paid for online, they are still following strict social distancing protocols (yay!).

    Came here for the first time for lunch on a weekend. Ordered their Japanese sweet potato sandwich and their falafel skewer side dish. Total came out to around $16 (without tip). What's Hot: - Menu variety. Vegan friendly, FTW! It appears that many menu items are staples, but there are seasonal items, too. They have Japanese sweet potato, which is not easy to find. Now is the brussel sprouts season, which is cool. - Eco friendly. From what I saw, everything is eco friendly. Their dishes that the food is served are paper products. Utensils looked like they are made of recycled plastic. Paper takeaway bags. They have water, at the front, so you can bring your own water bottles and refill them. And their staff encourage you to use it. Customer friendly, which is great. - Service. Friendly and helpful. I didn't order a drink. When they took my order and asked if I wanted a drink, I responded that I brought my own water. The staffer told me I could refill my bottle with their water whenever I needed to. Not a common response I've heard at other restaurants, which is awesome. It's self-serve and there's no table service, but whenever you need something or have questions, they help and are super nice, as well. Definitely a win. - Quality. Delish. The Japanese sweet potato was soft, mushy, and slightly sweet. It didn't taste overly seasonal or overly sweetened, which was great. Sweet potatoes are sweet enough and there shouldn't be a need to always add extra sugar and ruin the flavor. Their falafel skewers came with some slices of pickles, which weren't too sweet or sour, which I liked. Their veggies are pickled, but not briney. They have an open kitchen, so you can see the staff preparing the food, which is reassuring, as well. - Health and safety. During this time of the pandemic, all their staff were wearing masks. I appreciate this act of reassurance, especially because I've been to some restaurants where staff don't wear masks and it's uncertain what, if any measures, they are taking. I also saw a sign on their door asking customers to wear masks. - Portions. Not bad. A decent size, but be prepared that it's not going to be enough to get you full if you're hungry. What's Not: - Menu variety. Although I like their menu, it's disappointing when some items aren't available, because it's seasonal. For example, I saw oyster mushrooms in the Yelp pictures, but not on their menu. Bummer, because I like oyster mushrooms. My friend said they have a delish peach soda, which they don't always have. Again, the uncertainty of some menu items kinda sucks. First-world problems, right? - Price. Can be kind of pricey, especially if you order more than one dish, which you will if you're hungry. I only ordered 2 dishes and the total came out to $16, which didn't get me full. On the one hand, I was able to get a meal for under $20. On the other hand, be prepared that your tab can add up quickly when you order more than 1 dish. - Layout. I don't like their stools. Anytime you remotely move their stools, it always makes a loud scraping sound on the floor. It's so loud that it almost hurt my ears. Always interrupts conversations and that it happens on a regular basis because people naturally and predictably move their chairs, is super annoying. Final Answer Would definitely like to come back.

    Hummus
    Sean J.

    Perfect spot for lunch. Plates aren't too heavy, the service is efficient and quick, and the prices won't break the bank. I think it rotates items on the menu, but the staff will quite literally pull up an item on the big screen that you're interested in to see more about it. First time I've ever experienced that. I had the chickpea fritter sandwich and the hummus. Both were excellent. The sandwich had a memorable savory flavor and zesty sauces and toppings were great to go along with the fritters. The hummus was perfect for dipping on the side. The zaatar on top was the icing on the cake. Go check it out!

    Nashville Hot Mushroom Platter
    Alyssa T.

    Been obsessed with this franchise ever since I started coming here on my lunch break at the Kendall Square location. Their model is on point -- friendliness, personal touches, and quality food. Whenever I eat here I feel nourished in the best way. Even the French fries feel light and healthy and not loaded with oil. Today I got the Nashville Hot Mushroom Platter. Seriously soooo yummy! 10/10 would come back again!

    Barely a bowl of soup - more like a few drops.

    Do I have to order the pita separately if I order a sandwich?

    Any sandwich comes on pita no need for a separate order unless you want extra. Platters do not come with pita.

    My mom and I like to have a nice meat dinner from time to time. A few years back we stumbled upon…read moreThe Bancroft and it was excellent - so, she came into town this past weekend, wanted to do our fancy big meat dinner, and we knew The Bancroft was the place to go. I made a reservation for a Saturday night at 7:00 for two. Note: I originally went to make the reservation online from their website but the availability was not good, so I called instead. Online it pretty much looked booked between 4:30 and 8:00 - I called and was able to get 7:00 without hesitation. So, make note to call if you don't see the time or range listed online. We were greeted as we entered and checked in with the host/hostess. They were friendly and polite and told us it would just be a few minutes. They brought us back to our table and had us seated shortly there after. Our waitress was great; she told us about the specials, checked in on us, and made sure everything was as expected. We ordered some bevs that were very tasty and had great presentations. Speaking of presentation, let's get on to the food. We ordered the Tomahawk, which if you don't know, is a MASSIVE piece of meat. It's a steak meant to serve two people - in reality, it serves way more than two. The presentation of the tomahawk steak plate alone was beautiful! It had a whole bunch of stuff (see pic). They bring it out for you to see, and then they take it back to the kitchen to slice. We ordered medium rare, and probably should have gone more medium but it was not too rare so it was fine. Now, at The Bancroft, it is an à la carte style meal, meaning you order sides separately and usually a few for the table. We had the carrots (one of the specials), roasted potatoes, and creamed spinach. Forgot to say when you order meat, you also get to pick two sauces - and before anything while you wait they bring you some rolls and butter. The rolls started us off on the right foot knowing the meal was going to be phenomenal. They were warm with some sea salt on top and baked to perfection. The steak was mouth watering, juicy, and flavorful. The sauces added a great touch, and the sides were wonderful. It is safe to say, we did not leave hungry! As mentioned, while tomahawk is said to serve two, we had a lot of leftovers so of course we got those packed up to go. They were very considerate with the packaging, putting items in different boxes that made sense. We unfortunately did not have room for dessert but I'm sure it would've been awesome. The Bancroft is definitely a higher scale restaurant so it is on the pricer side, but it is justified. The food tastes great, presentation is there, and service is excellent. It's a great place for special occasions, celebrations, or just because as long as you know what to expect... but with prices today, I'd rather pay this and have it be worth it than what a crappy meal is costing today!

Our server Nick was a very friendly and charming person. He earned his tip at the end. Place has an elegant vibe that would be good for a special occasion. I started with the Wollensky Salad. I found the potato croutons to be interesting and the bacon lardons somewhat tough. My filet mignon should have been the highlight and ended up being a total disappointment. I ordered it medium but was instead served almost rare. Nick asked me to cut into it and he himself said that it was somewhat rare so he took it back. Someone else brought the same steak back a few minutes later and parts were overcooked and parts were still medium rare. I also noticed that the table next to me sent one of their steaks back and also leaving it on their plates after it was brought back. For dessert, I had the coconut creme cake that was really good. I'm unlikely to go back to this restaurant even with a $55 promotion before taxes and tip. I guess that I should feel lucky that is all I paid.

The restaurant is in an inn and just being in the building is a pleasure. We went in the front door and asked where the restaurant was and had the pleasure of being lead to the back of the building through colorful rooms with vintage inspired wall paper. The green cameos on the front halls wallpaper were fuzzy!! The bathrooms were also a freaking delight. Great wall paper everywhere. The dining room was very beautiful with high back chairs and a fire place. They also offered dining on the porch which was really beautiful too - the inn is not secluded by any means, but there wasn't an overbearing amount of traffic, so the porch would probably be lovely. We ate inside though. My husband tried to go light and healthy with claim chowder and the seasonal vegetable. He also got an espresso. I just went ahead and got the burger with the salad. The burger came with homemade pickles which were pretty tasty. The salad had green tomatoes which were very interesting. All around I had a great meal. They also have an excellent selection of cocktails. I had a hard time choosing. but I ended up with the Rose Gold which featured some awesome rose gin. I love anything that tastes floral and this made me super happy. Also, plus points for the paper straw! Our waitress was also excellent and had a really warm persona. AND they were playing all my late 60's early 70's jams. I had a super pleasant time even if we didn't get the breakfast we were hoping for.

Town Meeting Bistro is a beautiful space in lovely historic Lexington. This brunch had three seatings. We arrived a few minutes early for the second seating (at 12) to a long line and a 20 minute wait to be seated. Our table was lovely. The brunch included a buffet appetizer/dessert component and a plated entrée from their menu. The buffet portion was extremely disappointing, they advertised a decadent spread, including oysters, etc., but it was a very modest assortment of things (no oysters, a bowl of cocktail shrimp that was empty most of the time). I waited 10 minutes for them to refill empty bagel baskets (and asked a server) before giving up. The desserts were not impressive, fruit bowl was smaller than what I serve at family gatherings. But most notably, there was a constant very long line at the buffet and most items were continuously empty (even buffet plates were unavailable twice). There was no children's menu despite it obviously being an event that catered to families with children. There was an advertised bouquet activity for children, but by the second seating, the flowers were very picked over and the bouquet apparently only allowed for "three stems". Brunch did come with a mimosa, which was nice, but service was very slow (no fault of the server, just the chaotic and presumably understaffed set up). There were issues with two of the dishes that we ordered (one was the wrong omelette, another was the wrong dish altogether). None of this would have been bad review worthy, except that the price per person was $130! For that I expected much better quality, variety, set up and overall experience. They did acknowledge the mistakes with the entrées and comped a cocktail so I appreciated that, but definitely will not return (and am embarrassed that I was the one who picked this option for this special family event as no one left feeling good about it).

We walked into a comfortable space with a relaxed vibe that never feels generic, the kind of spot where you can settle in for a meal or grab something quickly without the atmosphere working against you. The Vietnamese bowl is the order that brings everything together well. We tried it and the flavors were bright and balanced, leaning into the fresh herb and citrus notes that make Vietnamese inspired food work when the kitchen takes it seriously. The bowl format here gives you enough going on across the components that each bite shifts slightly, which kept the meal interesting from start to finish in a way that a simpler dish would not. The broader menu is worth exploring beyond a single visit. The shakshuka and acai bowl are both good, the smash burger salad is a surprisingly strong order for anyone who wants something more indulgent, and the vegan options are extensive and genuinely well executed rather than feeling like an afterthought. The smoothies are popular for good reason and the coffee holds up as well. Pricing runs on the higher side and the menu does not always list prices upfront on site, which is worth being aware of before you commit to a larger order. Service is generally attentive and fast, though it can vary by location and shift.
