Lunch is whatever they felt like cooking today. Maybe there's a schedule, I don't know. On the hot bar, yellow rice, a salad, thin-cut pork chops, chicken quarters (things, breasts, legs, etc.) and a big pile of meat. I chose the meat because it looked interesting. It was pork shoulder. A very good portion and the food was tasty. The rice was light, the pork had a rich flavor and was fully cooked. Maybe they take credit cards but if they do, I didn't see a machine. We paid cash for lunch.

For entrees we ordered cold smoked grilled pork chop, grilled salmon, seared scallops and prime rib. All in good portions and well matched with delicious sides. For dessert we had flourless chocolate cake and cheesecake with goat cheese and berries in a mason jar. The chocolate cake was great and the cheesecake was ambitious and interesting but a little too much goat cheese for us. The service was attentive, prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed dining experience. This is seriously great dining in Marlborough.

Located inside the glass tower building at the corner of Main & Pleasant on the 24th floor, VUE…read moreCocktail Lounge is open Friday-Sunday offering a great views of Worcester. VUE is a part of Vivienne, which will reopen in late March 2026. The VUE serves a selection of cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, spirits, and mixed drinks. For food, they offer seafood raw bar selections, caviar, tinned fish, dips & pita chips, salumi, fromage, cheesesteak, focaccia, and desserts. The pricing is on the higher end. After my buddy raved about VUE for the ambience, food, drink and nice views of Worcester, I decided to check the place out for myself. I made an online reservation and headed over around 7:15 pm on a Saturday night. I headed inside the tall glass building and took the elevator up to the 24th floor. Once there, I checked in and headed for an open high top table near the full service cocktail bar and in front of the live jazz band, overlooking the sunsetting sky and Worcester views from the glass windows. This place definitely has that chill vibe of Worcester's "Top of the Hub" if y'all familiar with the former restaurant & bar on the top level of the Pru in Boston. One of the bartenders was my server. I already knew what I wanted and ordered the Bastirma Salumi Plate ($15 plus tax) and Carrot Lentil Dip ($13 plus tax) and a glass of still water. My food came out 20 minutes later, Bastirma plate first, followed by the Carrot Lentil Dip plate. The Bastirma small plate had 3 thick soft slices of focaccia bread, thin sliced dried beef sirloin, Türkiye, giardiniera, pickled veggies, dijon mustard, and 2 stuffed grape leaves. The Carrot Lentil Dip plate was huge which had a bowl of chilled pureed carrot Lentil dip with fresh garlic, waffle potato chips, thin pita crisps, red peppers, orange peppers, yellow peppers, celery sticks, carrot sticks, cucumber sticks.. I barely finished everything myself and did not save room for dessert and got the check which was $29.96 with tax and before tip. Overall, both cold plates I ordered were pretty good and very filling. I was enjoying the relaxed vibe here. The live jazz music band and great nighttime views of Worcester makes the VUE a very special place to visit for food and drinks. My buddy was also here with coworkers last weekend and they enjoyed the cocktails, several cold plates of tasty food, and plenty of raw oysters.

I recently attended a wedding at the Friendly Crossways and although I had a great weekend with…read morefamily and friends, I think my perspective is different than most of the previous reviewers. As others mentioned there were no other options close by in the Harvard area to stay, so we decided to stay on site (even though I tried to find alternative arrangements). We arrived on Friday and found our room, which had only twin beds (the same for almost all rooms) but were yet to receive our linens (sheets/towels/pillow cases). We did get those later and as another reviewer mentioned they were very worn. You could also not bring in your own pillows or linens (as I had brought) and the party would be fined if they saw you doing so. The bathroom/showers which I saw were pretty outdated and dingy (except the ones near the front door which appear to be newer). They weren't unclean, but were just in desperate need of some TLC. We were also informed of a strict 5 minute shower policy which there are signs posted for in the bathroom. As most have said, it is very much a DIY venue, even so far as to washing your own dishes throughout the weekend. We did help out with a lot throughout the weekend which was fun helping our friends set up their wedding and be a part of it, but many times we would need to ask Mary or Keith (the owners of the property) for assistance or direction with a given task. Most of the time they were very friendly and helpful, but not all the time. I certainly understand they have a job to do, and tasks the Bride/Groom set up for them, and that helping me wasn't on their priority list, but at least be a little bit pleasant because we are paying you to be there. I would have to agree that the food they provided was excellent, and they were able to meet the needs of many dietary issues in our group. If I was reviewing only their food it would be 5 stars, no question. They used fresh ingredients and were very passionate about what came out of the kitchen. The other issue was the firewood. We were lectured that it was to be a "camp fire" and not a "bonfire". We were only provided with about 6 tiny pieces of wood to keep the fire going for our allotted 2 hours...and NO wood was to be put on after 11pm as the fire had to be completely out by midnight... It was nice to be able to just walk back to my room after the wedding/reception. The ceremony was beautiful set back under the trees on the lawn. If you are looking for a DIY wedding where you have to do just about everything for set up and break down then this is probably your place.

The cooks use fresh food from the garden right there, it was so soooo good and does not get any fresher than that! Everything was so seamless on our day, Mary Helan helped us with so many steps to make it all go so well. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to have a stunning outdoor venue with great food and people around you!

My old parents love the giant portions, low prices, and friendly staff. I enjoyed the good steak fries & onion rings. The vibe is cozy basement den meets town hall: decor is "Framingham Pride," wood panel walls with Framingham police uniforms and Red Sox quilts, American flags, etc. Question: Why do restaurants feel the need to have televisions on during prime meal times? Isn't this when you want customers focusing on the food or each other? My suggestion would be to have some ambiant music or nothing at all. We can watch the Patriots when we get home. The ideal spot to take your "salt of the earth" family and friends. Be warned: cash only, no ATM.
