    BLT
    Kristi W.

    Enjoyed breakfast here twice during my stay. Service was spot on and my meals were tasty. The English muffin with the eggs Benedict might rank up in the top I've had. Being that this is a casino restaurant, I loved the option of a BLT for an early breakfast and it did not disappoint! Prices are high and you need to be careful when you order a juice- the one listed on the menu is a small but the waiters consistently bring you a large and charge you $9.95. It wasn't very busy when we went so nice and relaxing. If you can get a seat on the terrace, I recommend it!

    As someone who's overlooked hotel restaurants in the past, my husband and I have recently been proven wrong. One standout was Giardino, located on the 2nd floor of the Encore Hotel (& Casino) in Everett, MA, just a bit outside Boston. Giardino is a breath of fresh air. With soft greens and light yellow gem tones throughout. The space feels elegant, airy, and bright--perfect for a relaxed morning meal. Since we had a 3+1/2 hr drive home, we decided to grab breakfast with our daughter (who lives nearby and met us here). From the moment we were greeted at the host stand to the second we sat down, the service was spot-on. Everyone brought their A-game. Our server, Debbie(?) was a gem. No-nonsense but incredibly friendly and attentive, with the perfect balance of being helpful without hovering. I had my doubts on their "fresh squeezed" oj- because let's be real- menus at times say fresh squeezed and ends up tasting like Tropicana. But my girl assured me it was legit. She was right. My daughter enjoyed her veggie omelette+home fries. My husband stuck with his go-to: Greek yogurt+ berries and a side of bacon. I went for a plain toasted bagel+lox+the works (minus capers). Everything was delicious. The salmon was perfectly sliced thin, tomatoes+onions were fresh and flavorful, and the cream cheese was served on the side- just how I like it. Overall, it was a fantastic breakfast experience. Sure, it's a hotel restaurant, so prices are on the higher side- but honestly, they weren't unreasonable at all. Bonus: if you gamble downstairs, you automatically earn points that can be used towards dining here. We're not gamblers, but we'll absolutely be dining at Giardino again the next time we stay at Encore.

    Ok the Encore does everything right, including serving a beautiful breakfast! Made a res online since I didn't know how busy the restaurant would be in the hotel on a Friday around check out time, so we were promptly seated. The decor, just like the rest of the Encore, is so upscale & beautiful and reminiscent of Vegas. Our servers were extremely professional & prompt. Everything we ordered was plated so beautifully and also was delicious. I've never experienced this before, but over my avocado toast the server grated a hard boiled egg table side. What a unique experience, and honestly the grated egg was super tasty. When my husband's fruit plate & side of toast came out, we both said wow! Huge portions, fresh & tasty. I cant wait to visit the Encore and Giardinos again!

    Steak (medallion) and eggs, low carb

    Been here many times, from it's original incarnation as ' Garden Cafe' through the current 'Giardino' theme. Service here is patchy, today did not get offered refill of iced tea, for example. Food has always been okay - never amazing - but it's the only breakfast sit-down place in Encore casino. Today, made the mistake of ordering Steak and Eggs, with no potatoes or toast. Pretty steeply priced at $36.99. When it came out, I was shocked at the tiny portion of steak - 4oz, maybe not even. Taste was okay, but no A5 Wagyu here, lol. Talk about shrink-flation! Menu does not mention the diminutive size of the steak, of course. Will not be supporting this establishment any more after maybe 100+ visits.

    Place was beautiful. Located inside Encore Hotel and Casino. Service was great. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend and would come back

    I had the tenderloin flat bread and it was so tasty. I ordered a fresh juice and it turned out the just be "pressed" brand right out of the bottle which was disappointing. Service was attentive and the restaurant looks like it's right out of Paris.

    The best Encore has to offer before 3pm. The staff and service are excellent, from the hosts to the waitstaff! Check it out it's worth it.

    Small menu limited food choices. But for a breakfast place is good enough. Very clean. Very fresh.

    I've been here several times now and The Daily Catch never disappoints. Love the food, great…read moreservice, and amazing vibes! I always will recommend their special that's sharable for two while my partner lives the black squid ink pasta. Either is a great choice though and we honestly get both despite it being way too much food every time. Calamari is solid too and everything tastes great. We always come right at open to avoid waiting given the small restaurant space, but it's always worth it. Just be warned they're also cash only as well!

On our itinerary was to do The Freedom Trail and have some pasta for dinner though I wasn't sure where. It turned out that we wandered through North End which had some incredible ambience so I decided we would eat an early dinner at The Daily Catch since it was a small place and due to the amount of people out and about. Fortunately we got in within minutes of waiting. My family wasn't exactly hungry but we ordered the black pasta aglio olio and the black pasta Alfredo. Given the small restaurant / just a few tables, the kitchen was highly efficient and brought the food out quick. It was fun to watch our dinner cooked as we were seated next to the kitchen. The aglio olio is something I could eat regularly. The ground calamari was unique and it was loaded with sautéed garlic. The best! I probably wouldn't order the Alfredo again personally but the kids liked it. Overall a great experience on a hot day. We were in and out fairly quick. Service was solid.

This is my first…read moretime here so I'm not sure if the configuration it was supposed to be as tight where they have like two high top tables directly behind other dining tables so some acrobatics were needed to be done by both the white staff and customers to sort just move around. I didn't mind that much since it was actually pretty tight and cozy so it actually brought up the energy I think. We already had reservations, so we received a fairly quickly, and the white stuff were very professional and courteous. The food did not disappoint. The calamari came out fresh and hot. Crispy and the banana peppers gave it just the right heat. The marinara sauce paired well with it. The Lobster Fra Diavolo was done in a cute heart shaped, so that was delightful. Lobster was done perfectly and the slightly spicy sauce of the pasta paired beautifully. My favorite was actually the marsala. The Fusilli was done perfectly al dente and soaked in that delicious sauce that was flavorful and clung so well to the pasta. The chicken breast was well marinated and super tender and juicy. Honestly, I wouldn't hesitate to order this again next time.

The service was friendly, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. I loved the broccoli rabe pizza with spicy salami -- the flavors were unique and really well done.
