I needed a pick me up in Legacy Place and couldn't find a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts within walking distance so I settled for Nero. I got their blueberry refresher and it tasted like straight up high fructose corn syrup. And it was $5. I will say the ambiance is very cool, they have a "medieval university" feel inside with lots of books and places to sit and get some work done. They also have a bar which I've never seen before in a coffee shop but is pretty cool.

This was at 9am and at this point, there weren't many tables left for people to sit with a coffee. I do this. I have sat in a coffee shop with my laptop for hours. But if I look around and see that most tables are taken up and there's no room for paying guests, I'll move along. These folks weren't doing that. As for the coffee? Mrs. K. and I split a delicious latte as we planned our travel for the rest of the day. I liked the spot. [Review 975 of 2025 - 1238 in Massachusetts - 24529 overall]

Overall, everything tasted great (esp the fried chicken and home fries) and the portions were massive to just right. If there were a few kinks to iron out, I'd say that the beignets weren't really airy and some of the mushroom stems in the omelette were really tough and should've been discarded before cooking. Next for dinner: their fried chicken dinner which came with Mac and cheese, collard greens/broccolini, cornbread, and the tempura hake, and a side of cornbread with pecan butter. That pecan butter was delicious, we definitely asked for more. The fried chicken dinner was also amazing, every single dish in it. The hake while crispy, didn't have enough salt. The server fixed it immediately with a side of garlic aioli and that was great. If I could make a suggestion, I would say they should swap out the celery root slaw for something that goes better with the fish. Service was excellent both times. Very friendly and accommodating, always asking if we enjoyed our meal and they were quick to make things right if we had requests. Ambiance is really nice, very warm, inviting, perfect for a sit down meal. Apart from a few kinks in their dishes (which I'm sure they can resolve), I'd give them 5 stars.
