I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I was pleasantly surprised by VintEdge and it ended up being one of my favorite…read moreeateries so far this year! The outside is unassuming but on the inside, it feels like a classy, upscale restaurant with a casual ambiance. On a Saturday evening, there were still several tables open inside and outside and seating at the bar. The drinks were amazing. My fave was the lychee martini. The food was also simple yet delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu. The staff were busy but still polite and attentive.

After watching a video from one of my favorite food reviewers I wanted to check this place out. My…read moremom lives in the area, and I thought this would be a good place to take her to celebrate her birthday. I ordered the Churrasco Campesino, which was good, I don't remember my mother's and sister's orders, but they really liked their meals as well. I did research some reviews and remembered reading that some people didn't like how the tipping was handled. I forgot to keep this in mind when I paid, I included a tip. When I got home, I reviewed the check because it seemed a little high and realized the tip portion isn't preprinted on the receipt like most restaurants and it was built into the total price. So, I basically left over a 40 percent tip, I should have analyzed the receipt better before paying (this is something to keep in mind). I enjoyed the food and the experience, but the tipping situation may prevent me from returning.

Beautifully decorated for Christmas and such a cozy, festive vibe. The service was excellent, attentive, and friendly. It was a bit loud where we sat directly in the middle and many people were celebrating birthdays so lots of singing. The vibe was so on point! The premium cocktails were on the higher side at $21 each, but they were well-made. We ordered the Picada Grande for only four of us and could not believe the amount of food that came out. We couldn't finish the food. Everything was delicious, and we still left with around 6 pounds of leftovers! A great spot for a fun night out with fantastic food, beautiful ambiance, good entertainment, and great service at a good price! There are vendors selling flowers and framed pictures of you choose to partake. We did and loved the framed pic! Highly recommend checking it out. Great value and good food! PS- there's a big sign that says "Valet Only"

My wife and I stopped in after meeting my Corvette club for the weekly cruise night in Somerville -- it was the perfect way to cap the evening. We started with the grilled octopus and the crispy calamari. Both were excellent. The calamari is very light. When I used to frequent the lounge on Fridays and Saturdays, if I hadn't had dinner, the calamari hit the spot. The octopus had a good char on it and was tender throughout. For entrees, my wife had the seared ahi tuna special and I went with the pan seared duck breast. Her tuna was cooked perfectly - rare. The duck was well seared on the outside with just the right amount of pink inside. Portions were the right size -- filling without being excessive, which left just enough room to share the chocolate ganache dessert. We finished with a cappuccino for my wife and a double espresso for me. Verve is a French bistro on East Main Street with a serious cocktail and wine program. The atmosphere is upscale but relaxed. The staff were friendly and attentive all night. After 20+ years, it's still one of the best restaurants in Somerset County. Don't skip the specials.

I ordered a spicy dirty martini, and my husband had the old fashioned--both drinks were fine, nothing to rave about. We shared truffle fries, veggie dumplings, and cauliflower bites. The fries were definitely the highlight--crispy and well-seasoned. The other two dishes were just okay. Service was quick, and overall it was a decent stop, but nothing particularly memorable food- or drink-wise.

My Caesar salad was crunchy and garlicky, and my dining companion enjoyed hers as well, although she would have liked more dressing. The coffee was superb, better than all of the local diners put together. Service was good. Only issue would be the atmosphere--which is to say, the downstairs space has little to none. Feels a little like the gadtropub craze of the 90s never went away.

It took a while to track down the staff who seemed to be busy with take-out orders, so it took a while to order and track them down during the meal. We ordered tacquitos and the chicharron, both were ok. I think both could've used more flavor, as it felt a little underwhelming for my taste. The entrees we had were tortas and tacos and these were both a lot more flavorful. The only issue was with the steak, it was very tough. If I came again, it would be because it's a good-priced meal and I would try other tacos with different meat.

On one visit we ordered nachos as an appetizer, our entrees came out really quickly so we asked for it to be packed to go. The server misunderstood and disposed of the food. Food is inconsistent but spicy chicken is always delish. Also a big fan of their burgers. When done right it's the best burger in the neighborhood. Delivery is often incorrect, but I keep going back for the delicious tacos. Even when they send me the wrong protein and no salsa! Also be aware that if you order the guacamole, it doesn't mean they're gonna send you any chips. I learned that the hard way. The restaurant itself is cute. Doesn't look like anything special from the outside, but they have a huge bar and the seating area is comfortable.
