    Seafood Risotto (lobster, shrimp, scallops)
    Leesa J.

    Ambiance- getting beyond the tricky parking, found the restaurant friendly, welcoming, and clean. Liked the openness of the seating area. It was a calm, relaxing dinner experience. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, albeit very busy. Food- 1- cheese pizza... LOVED it. Usually drive 45 min away to another place for favorite pizza, but this one is such a close 2nd, that I would save myself the trip and order it again and again. 2- seafood risotto... admit I was nervous when it arrived. It didn't look like something I would like, purely based on appearance. BUT, I was wrong! It was SO GOOD. Sauce and risotto were creamy, seafood cooked just right, and there was so much of it! I don't like hot tomatoes, so moved those to the side, but I scraped that plate clean. So good. 3- fish and chips... fish- hearty portion and delicious. Only negative was that the batter was greasier than I like, but I'd still order it again! Wasn't crazy about the chips. Just meh. 4- fried Oreos.... I wanted to love these, but after my seafood risotto, the bread, and tasting the fish (which was also fried and a tad greasy), I couldn't enjoy the Oreos. I was too full. I'm sure if I wasn't full, it would've been a different story!

    Fish tacos and sweet potato fries. YUM!

    We stopped by Fay's this afternoon for a late lunch. It's been a long time since we dined almost weekly at the old Fay's in the north end, so almost everything was new for us... but not quite. In the old days, we each ordered a garden salad with peppercorn parmesan dressing, and then we split an onion and mushroom pizza. And that's almost what G (god bless her) ordered: garden salad with peppercorn parmesan dressing and a pizza with feta and spinach. Both were as great as ever, G said. I agreed about the pizza, for sure! Thin crisp crust, delicious red sauce, plenty of spinach and feta. I began with a cup of chowder, and I was impressed! Not too thick or thin, potatoes cut in perfect 1/4" cubes, plenty of clams. For my meal, I ordered fish tacos (I order fish tacos EVERYWHERE, ALWAYS). Only two in an order but OMG! They are HUGE and HUGELY delicious, so much fish I could have taken home pocketfuls. They're served with sweet potato fries. By the time I finished one (see attached pic), I wondered if my eyes were bigger than my stomach. Nevertheless, I choked down the second (happily)and carried the fries home. I already know my go-to meal at Fay's.

    This place has gotten exponentially worse over the years. Garbage pizza tonight (The El Greco) that even a Walmart frozen would outrank.

    Vegan pasta

    Vegan review: I have been to Fay's twice in the past two weeks. Once for my grandmother's 89th birthday and once with my friend's family. Both times I was underwhelmed. I was served the same pasta both times. It looked delicious but it tasted rather bland. (Gluten free pasta is never great in my opinion.) The second time, our waitress wasn't great, she seemed kind of put off by my questions. Like I was causing her too much trouble by asking. When I asked about the Yelp coupon that popped up when I checked in, the waitress said, "that isn't a coupon we honor...". WHAT!?! It's in the app for your restaurant. Give me a break. The first time our waitresses were great. Overall, a bland experience, given that some amazing restaurants are popping up in Dartmouth and NB, you'd really think that Fay's would be trying to keep up. I like to support local businesses, but I doubt I'll be coming back here by choice.

    Special tonight, bacon wrapped meat loaf with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies

    The Nook is a really special place. In my opinion, places like Mirasol are extremely overrated…read morecompared to what The Nook offers. The drinks here are outstanding. The Painkiller is fantastic, especially if you add caramel. The Epic Vanilla Skooma is dangerously addictive - the flavor profile is incredible, and honestly nobody else in the area comes close. The Buzz is another excellent choice. The food is just as impressive. Their linguica and cheese rolls are leagues above the competition, and I'd put them alongside the very best around. I highly recommend ordering a regular cheese roll leveled up with egg, bacon, and their house-made hot sauce. If you enjoy a Portuguese style hot sauce, this combination is absolutely worth trying - you will not be disappointed. The peanut butter cookie is unreal; I genuinely wish I had the recipe. The baked goods are consistently excellent, and whenever they have a special, just order it. I've rarely been disappointed by anything they've made. I used to live nearby and honestly miss having this place around. Their pizzas deserve recognition too. They're some of my favorite bar style pizzas in the area. If you prefer an ultra thin pizza, you might lean toward Dipper Cafe, but it's hard to beat The Meatball Thing, the Thanksgiving pizza during the holidays, and many of their other specialty pies. The atmosphere adds even more to the experience. They have arcade style games you can play while you wait, and the music is always great. If you're into King Diamond or heavier music, you'll probably hear something you love. If you live nearby or are just passing through the area, don't skip The Nook. For me - and for everyone I've recommended it to - The Nook easily earns the title of best coffee shop in the area.

    -ONE PARAGRAPH REVIEW-…read more The Nook has great coffee. The Nook has great food- not entrés but café stuff: sandwich rolls, focaccias, muffins, etc. The Nook has old school, retro vibes. It has rock music vibes. It has creative, inspirational vibes. It has quiet, read-a-book-in-the-nook vibes but also loud Donkey Kong-guitar riff-crunchin' vibes; depending on the time and the day. It's perhaps a tad too small inside, but that's what makes it a nook. Lots of hot and iced coffee options, food is quality over quantity: get their signature cheese or linguica roll as-is or "leveled up" to make it an egg sandwich because it's the best around. And their focaccias are made like a pizza and imo are better than their actual pizza! Ok that's a paragraph!
