Wow, this place absolutely lives up to the hype. The atmosphere is upscale yet cozy, the service is…read morewarm and attentive, and the quality of the food is outstanding. They offer an oyster hour from 4-5 p.m. with half-priced oysters and cheeseboards, making it a great time to visit. As a farm-to-table restaurant, everything tasted incredibly fresh. I tried several dishes, but the standouts were the oysters and the halibut. The oysters were served with freshly shaved horseradish and a delicious mango habanero oil that added the perfect kick. The halibut was beautifully seared, flaky, and fresh. I'd highly recommend making a reservation. I visited on a Monday night, and the restaurant was completely full. I'll definitely be back.

The location is lovely but the food was uninspired and flavorless…read more You could sense the attempts at creativity but it just did not translate into anything of remarkable. The shaved pork belly in the salad was nondescript and the dressing was watery. The New York steak platter was difficult to eat and again, no flavor. Even the zucchini chocolate cake was bitter and boring. It would not take much to elevate the food but this night it did not happen. And for the price, not worth it at all especially since the area is saturated with amazing culinary experiences.

They added in the pork a an additional option. Service was outstanding from the bartender and his helper. We had one meal come quite a bit after the rest, but that was the only true hiccup.

She took my steak back to the kitchen, and my husband decided to wait for mine to come back before finishing his--until I finally insisted he keep eating because it was taking forever. The steak was replaced, and this time it was definitely WELL done, but honestly, I preferred that to medium rare, so I ate it. The other issue was our table on the patio. There was what I assume was an AC vent above us that kept dripping onto the table. I ended up having to move my plate and drink out of the way so they didn't get dripped on. I'm generally pretty patient about things like this, but between the steak, the long wait for the replacement, and water dripping onto our table, it just wasn't a great experience overall. On the bright side, my husband said the pork chop was good--so there's that.

The last time my bf and I went we ordered a special which was Dan Dan noodles with pork, the cheeseburger, and burrata with bruschetta to start. All of the food was full of flavor and fair portion size. Restaurant poco does not take reservations in advance. It's easier to get a seat in spring summer or fall when they open up their outdoor seating and so can host more guests. You have to go to put your name on the wait list regardless of the season and even in summertime with more seating it can be a 20-40min wait. They play good funky music which can sometimes be overwhelmingly loud inside (I.e. a jock jam will be playing at club volume level), that's one of my few complaints. You can be at a two person table and only a few feet away from your dinner date but not always hear them. This happens mostly just during the winter. Outdoor seating is nice with outdoor lights and easy to see and hear whomever you're dining with. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone as they always have great tasting food and good drinks. A little on the pricier side, but worth it.

Today's lunch experience was a huge contrast to my experiences at Henry's only a few years ago. Back then, the service was great, the food was quite tasty and the portions were more than adequate. I ordered a 'haddock basket' that was more like a handful of french fries (the only part of the order that was okay) and one very small piece of fish that was no more than 1/8" thick. Picture fish skin with a trace of fish still attached to it wrapped in a very thin, over-fried, and chewy batter and you'll have the right idea. I couldn't even cut this 'fish' with a knife! The sauce that came with it (we were not given a choice) tasted like mayo had been used to try to breathe new life into some old and mysterious condiment. Tartar sauce? Hollandaise? Mayo with a dash of outdated pickle relish? Who knows? If either the kitchen staff or the management team were at all concerned about food quality, what I was served would never have left the kitchen. As someone who typically orders and enjoys white, flaky haddock when eating out, this came nowhere near acceptable. How sad that it has changed so much from what it used to be. I won't return. read more

Ambience: It's a genuine 1950s Worcester Lunch Car--complete with Formica counters, vinyl booths, and tile floors that feel like they haven't changed since before your grandparents were born. Charming if you like that "museum exhibit" vibe--but cozy it isn't. Seating is tight, and the wait can feel longer than vintage itself. Food: Yes, it's scratch-made breakfast and lunch--maple syrup is local, English muffins made in-house, eggs fresh from Vermont farms. Great effort. But then you find out the famous hot turkey sandwich and VT burger that earned Roadfood praise under the old owner are no longer on the menu. The new proprietors swapped nostalgia for a rewritten menu--and higher prices. Some folks rave about the blueberry jam and standout flavors, but others griped that biscuits and gravy were "downright gross." Contrasting reviews and extra-charge condiment notes further muddle expectations. Service: Staff tend to move with diner efficiency--fast, polite, and no fuss. That said, reviews note some inconsistency: stellar one day, meh the next. They're friendly, but don't expect a guided gastronomic tour--just order, eat, move on. Value: With plates clocking in near $19 for diner fare like chicken-fried steak and breakfast burrito bowls, this isn't exactly your classic greasy spoon find. Everything tastes well-executed, but you're paying for that curated "local ingredients" label--not bargain basement. Bottom line: If you're nostalgic for a parlor that looks like a train car and serve-your-mother's-recipe breakfast served up with giddy pride, Parkway Diner might still charm. Just be ready to pay for ingredient provenance and ditch your hopes for old favorites like the hot turkey sandwich or VT burger. Solid for breakfast or lunch, but don't expect miracles--even if they serve bottomless coffee.
