The ambience is great - large space with casual vibes, lots of screens for sports and ample seating with both high tables and comfortable booths. The place was not too crowded but there were quite a few people there. It was around 8:30 when we came in so a bit later than the usual dinner time. The menu is quite extensive with a wide variety of dishes and even barbecue platter options. We ordered the smoked chicken wings to share - they came with a dry chili rub and 2 sauces - bbq and a Carolina mustard sauce. They were good tender tasty. For my main dish I ordered the blackened salmon with salad. The salmon was cooked well crispy on the outside and tender flaky inside. It came with deviled eggs too - which were ok - a bit spicy. The salad had cucumbers tomatoes and onions, but they were such tiny pieces and not a lot of- hard to find lol among all the greens. They should have either added more or just cut them in bigger pieces. They were literally like a few millimeters wide - almost microscopic!! The hubs ordered the root beer white russian drink which he liked. He ordered the rigatoni pasta which he enjoyed - tasty, tangy creamy with a touch of spice. Service was very pleasant- our server was very nice checked in on us frequently and even took a picture of us! Overall good experience and we'll be back!

I went with a friend for the Mother's Day buffet brunch. There were three timed seatings and we…read morewent for the one at noon. There was a bit of a backlog getting in but not a problem. The space is tight for a buffet, and we were glad to just miss being seated right next to where the diners were lining up for the buffet. They seemed to be a bit short-staffed as our server was attending to a section that included two large parties -- one of about 12 and another of 8 -- in addition to the smaller tables including ours. She came as soon as we were seated but only explained we could go up at any time and promised to bring water. We waited for her to return to take our beverage orders but finally grew impatient and got in line for the buffet. The buffet selections were scrumptious--breakfast and lunch options. The chicken and waffles seemed to be the most popular and the tray was empty when I got to it but a new batch arrived momentarily -- thank goodness! Yummy as I expected. I also had scrambled eggs and link sausages. I passed on a few other things like eggs benedict (the last in the tray which is never ideal). In hindsight the ideal time to arrive seemed to be about a half hour after your seating time, as by then the lines to the buffet were minimal (that's when I headed back for seconds). Oh and when I finally got to order my old-fashioned, it was delish. There is an attached parking garage (the red garage) and if you park at the right end of the building you just take the elevator to ground level and the restaurant is a few steps away. I'm not sure I'd return for the special celebration seatings. The price is right but the logistics, seating, slow service and lapse in keeping trays full of hot food would give me pause. On a regular day, however, no contest.

I was amazed at B&B in Back Bay, so I was eager to try it out at the Watertown location!…read moreUnfortunately, compared to its Boston counterpart, Watertown lags behind. We came here with my roommate on a Friday night and it was completely empty which was strange. Nevertheless, we ordered our usual baked brie and a side of fries start, which came out amazing as always. The problem began right before placing our order, as we informed the waitstaff that my roommate has a severe tree-nut allergy. The waitstaff took it into consideration and let us know they informed the kitchen staff. When we got our entrees, however, I noticed my roommate's salad garnish on her lamb chop was chock-full of chopped pecans! I was horrified. If I hadn't noticed, she would have had an allergic reaction. I understand that there is a risk when going out to eat, but this is completely unacceptable given we gave ample notice and the salad was not pre-made with nuts. The waitstaff seemed more terrified of us than apologetic, despite us being nice and understanding. I am going to call out an allergy hazard when I see one... They switched it for us which was good and did end up apologizing, but it kind of turned me off from the rest of the dining experience. The entrees themselves were decent, I had the famous wagyu sliders but I prefer the crispy chicken sliders here. If you have an option, I'd choose the Boston location over this one.

It has a cozy and warm feel. While the initial presentation is a bit scripted and stilted - it's fusion tapas, not rocket science - the staff here is great. Our server knew the menu well, and the host seated us quickly. The food blew me away, though. The Brussels sprouts were savory with a paneer-like cheese accompanying them, and the Mediterranean dips were unique and flavorful with crispy homemade bread to boot, but my favorite dish was the cauliflower au gratin. The cheese sauce was just salty enough, and the cauliflower maintained a great texture. I can't wait to bring my friends here.

It's pretty loud there even though it's sort of an indoor/outdoor place. We sat inside but it was so nice out that they opened their bay (think garage) doors so the breeze could waft through. It ended up being a bit cold but was fine. This is a great dinner or happy hour restaurant. Highly recommend!!!

Even for non-beer drinkers, they have hard seltzers and hard smoothies which are delicious. Recommended dishes that I've had: patatas bravas, aloo tiki, birria poutine, hummus, chicken tinga tostada, chips & guac, smash burger. Friends have had tacos and mac & cheese and said they were great. If you're catering an event, get the beef sliders - they were a favorite and truly delicious. Very accommodating. We had a few folks with dietary restrictions and they allowed us to bring in a couple dishes for those folks, though most of their menu had a ton of options for everyone else. They also helped us with managing drink tickets (they even had tickets for us to use!) and making sure folks weren't over-served. If you're looking to host a large/companywide event, this is a fantastic option.
