Visited The Rooftop this past weekend and had a fantastic time. We had made a reservation to…read morecelebrate my daughter going away to college. It was just here and I. We were greeted by the hostess who took us to our seats. (We sat inside because it had been on and off sprinkling). Our server, Mia, was AMAZING. Sweet, professional, attentive, always had a smile and exactly what you would wish to have as your wait staff. My daughter is 18, so she got the Cos-No-Politan haha. Love the pun and she loved the drink. I got a classic margarita which was made very well. We decided on apps to share. We got the meatballs, arancini, truffle fries and calamari. The meatballs were ok, but we felt they were under seasoned and a little on the dry side, even with all the sauce. The Arancini was delicious. The truffle fries were good (we really enjoyed the garlic aoli) and they came in a cute fry box on a plate. The calamari was fantastic. It also came with fried jalapenos mixed in. I did not see note of that on the menu, so for any allergies I would note that. However, that little spice mixed with the honey they had made for a great bite and we would order this again. Afterwards, we walked down to the Sam Adams beer garden where there were fire pits, music (a live band) and a great time to be had. Overall, the place was a great dinner choice for my daughter and I to celebrate this special milestone.

As someone who enjoys rooftop bars and a well-made martini, I came in with high expectations. I…read moreeven looked over the menu beforehand and planned to order the "Dirty but Classy" martini. The experience started off great. The hostess downstairs was welcoming, friendly, and gave clear directions to the rooftop--10/10. After taking the elevator up, we were greeted by another equally warm and professional host. Another 10/10. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. We sat at the bar, and the bartender spent most of his time with his back to the guests. We waited... and waited... and waited before finally having to get his attention ourselves. That's never a good sign. I ordered the "Dirty but Classy" martini and was told they didn't have the ingredients--but they could still make it. What does that even mean? Either you have the ingredients or you don't. After a confusing back-and-forth, it became clear they couldn't make it at all, so I settled for a standard dirty martini. It was terrible. No olive oil-infused vodka. No prosciutto & Gorgonzola stuffed olives. Poorly balanced and badly mixed. If you're someone who actually enjoys martinis, you know immediately when the person behind the bar has no idea how to make one. This bartender may be handsome, but the lights were on and nobody was home. He lacked both the personality and the skill to be working behind a cocktail bar. We also ordered the wagyu dumplings. Calling the filling "wagyu" felt generous--it tasted like ordinary ground beef. Any flavor the meat might have had was completely buried under an overly sweet sauce. The wagyu certainly wasn't the star of the dish. Overall, I left more annoyed than impressed. The hosts were fantastic, but the bar experience completely overshadowed the evening. I'll probably give the place another chance because first impressions aren't always the whole story--but I'll absolutely make sure I'm sitting with a different bartender next time.

Bad news - it's a shitty hang. It's basically a catering room. No bar action at all. Speaking of the bar, good luck getting a bartender to pay attention to you. I saw one women stand in line for a drink for a half an hour....and she was 2nd in line! So, if you want to overpay to see your favorite band and you can scare up 5 of your best friends to reserve a table, you're good. Not sure if you have to buy food if you reserve a table.

And we interacted with neighboring tables on both sides to recommend (when asked) the oysters, and when one received a drink with a big smoke bubble that created a magical flow of smoke when it burst. French inspired drinks and food were fantastic and interesting. The French 75 menu was so interesting-- choose your flavor and your bubbles. I tried two, the classic with rosé was so pretty, and the honey lavender with base level champagne was delicious. The raw oysters were to die for! Perfect little pop of acidity with other flavors delicately added and perfectly balanced. The oysters Rockefeller were also perfectly delicious. The foie gras is not something I would normally eat, but my boyfriend loves that stuff so we went with it. I enjoyed it more than he did. It was not a classic foie gras, it was smoother with a creamier texture and more buttery flavor. Eating it with the fig jam and "light as clouds" toast made it absolutely delicious! I enjoyed every minute and mouthful--would definitely seek this place out again even though I live an hour away! We enjoyed ourselves too much to take pictures!

Every once in a while, you come across a particular pool hall complete with a full bar that ends up…read moreholding a special place in your heart. A place where you can just shoot pool for hours, eat above average bar food, and chill. When we lived in El Paso, Clicks Billiards was that place. We weren't sure we'd ever find a place like that again after moving. Then....we found Maxamillians Billiards. And if first impressions mean anything, I believe we've just discovered our new favorite watering hole. One thing I did not expect a pool hall to serve was brick oven pizza. Right off the bat, that's a bonus star in my book! Oh, for those wondering, the pizza was excellent, btw! A thin crust perfectly toasted accompanied by a slightly sweet (but not too sweet) sauce which compliments the cheese brilliantly! Sharing some properties of traditional NY style pizza, I'd certainly give this one a 10 out of 10. The buffalo wings weren't too shabby either. Tangy sauce with just enough kick to be not too spicy. I couldn't find a single thing wrong with these ones; 10 out of 10, would recommend. Now then....when it comes to service, it's surprisingly good. For the most part. We *did* have a slight hiccup in the beginning when I ordered a Cab and the lady brings back what appears to be a Chardonnay. How in the hell you confuse Cabernet for Chardonnay, I'll never know. But I don't hold it against her entirely. Because, believe it or not, this isn't the first place to have done that to me. It's just that I'll never, EVER understand how anyone confuses the two. And I definitely spoke loud enough for her to hear me. Other than that though, service was great. I do wish she had came by a little more often so that I could reorder drinks. But to be honest, it seems as though the servers here are slightly overwhelmed. See, I believe there were maybe 3 attendants for the entire series of pool tables running that evening. You also have to keep in mind this place has a full bar to boot. As in...one you'd expect to see at a regular restaurant. In other words, these servers definitely have their work cut out for them. So naturally, I gave her the benefit of the doubt and exuded a zen-like patience. Plus, she was wicked sweet. So, we gave her a generous tip. Speaking of which, there's also an onsite ATM in the front by the entrance for anyone in need of cash. And a lotto machine to boot. How New England of them. XD For those wondering, this pool hall does have a private parking lot. I know that can be a concern for some when visiting Mass establishments. Though that tends to mostly depend on the city you're visiting. Though wifey and I will always miss Clicks Billiards back in El Paso, Maxamillians Billiards is a more than suitable replacement for us. And I am giving them 5 crispy cheese pizzas baked to perfection in a brick oven out of 5.

First I get there and wait over 30 min for a drink and have to have someone else get it for me and then she goes on and calls me a bitch and that I talk shit even though it is only my third time going there. It was pretty obvious that she was a bit drunk. I for sure will never be going here again and will let everyone know how terrible the employees are. I was told by other people there that she regularly drinks on the job and not to take it personally because she likely had too much to drink that night. Don't know who runs such a terrible place but there needs to be an adult there to watch over the childish employees.
