    Food is good. Nothing like a great seafood boil. They have decent choices and a variety of options.

    Fantastically fresh and largely local. Ignore the service. They will ignore you. But you came for the seafood, right? Enjoy!

    We were in the area visiting the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University and wanted to get lunch…read moreafter a lot of walking around. Seafood boil sounded good and this place was a few minutes away. During lunch time on a Saturday, we arrived and there was only one other party in the place. It was super quiet. We were seated promptly and provided some pop corn. The place has unique decor in that there is customer writing all over their walls! Our server was okay, and answered our questions and took our order. We went with the Snow crabs with green mussels. You get 1lb of each, versus their A/B/C platters which may contain less of some of what you want. It was fine as we were gonna spend over $60 and would get 1/2 lb of shrimp for free anyways. The seafood boil bag was ordered with their shaking sauce mild. It was not spicy at all, had really good flavor but definitely on the salty side, IMHO. It was still enjoyable. When you leave you'll be dying of thirst. The seafood was cooked well, with most of the snow crab legs able to crack open. There was just enough sauce for everything in the bag. I'd say it was a 7/10 rating. The fried calamari plate with sweet potato fries was okay. Nothing special, and definitely edible. I'd give this a 7/10 rating again. The lemon pepper wings were tiny, but at least girthy (given their size). Flavor was good and cooked perfectly and came out so hot and fresh. I'd give them a 7/10 rating, would be higher if the wings were even normal sized. Overall, it was a decent meal. It satisfied a craving. The restaurant is comfortable and clean. There was decent parking options outside on the street.

    Delicious! As usual, every bite of this meal was lip-smacking good. We ordered the lobster and…read moreshrimp with no head combo and added on mussels and extra potatoes. Our sauce of choice was the shaking sauce which is a combo of all their sauces. We got extra rice and sauce on the side. We didn't eat at the restaurant but got our order to go. The food was ready on time and packed well. All the seafood was fresh and the flavors had infused really well. With rice and the extra sauce on the side it because a great overall meal. Yum! Note that they do not provide any tools for free to crack the lobster, you have to purchase it from them. We were able to do it by ourselves.

Our waiter Nick was awesome, would definitely go back ! $$$ Plates ordered : 1. Prosciutto-Wrapped Mozzarella with Vine Ripe Tomatoes - so delicious definitely would go back for ! 2. Roasted Chicken Breast with risotto (no mushrooms) - first time trying a risotto and it was good. The chicken was so tender and juicy. 3. Filet Mignon* 10 oz - medium , great as well so juicy and tasty 4. Creamed Corn with Bacon - was good as well, didn't come with much bacon as expected but still good. 5. Au Gratin Potatoes - Sooo good, definitely love the creamy and crunch it brings. Drinks ordered 1. Lemon drop - decent, very strong wishes it tasted more like lemon. 2. Passion Fruit Mojito - soo good recommend ! Then finally was surprised with a complimentary dessert due to it being Valentine's Day ! 1. The Capital Grille Cheesecake with Flourless Chocolate Espresso Cake! Both were great! I would definitely recommend dining here.

My dinner companion had eyes on the fried shrimp and I on the fish and chips so we were eager to go back for another try. Our server remembered us from our previous/failed visit. He was extremely nice, knowledgeable of the menu, and quite helpful as we contemplated our predetermined selections: fried shrimp and fish & chips! The restaurant was somewhat empty which made for a comfortable and quiet dining experience. Our beers were delivered cold and quickly. And our meal came out rather quickly as well. My fish was breaded nicely and had a good crisp to it. The fish tasted fresh and was flakey just as it should be. My companion's shrimp were excellent. They were huge, fresh, sweet, and juicy with a crisp breading. The shrimp dish is actually big enough to share. The fries were good but not the best on the island. The slaw, eh...but the shrimp and fish!! We look forward to their reopening in the Spring!

I wanted to say a huge thank you to the event manager Joanna--and her entire team--for doing such a wonderful job on my daughter's bridal shower this past Saturday. Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious and received so many compliments, and the cocktails were fabulous--thank you especially for the signature drink, it was a big hit! The waitstaff did an excellent job, and the bartender was incredible keeping up with all the orders. She made the whole process feel so easy and enjoyable. I can't say enough great things about Neroli's. If you have not eaten here go - if you're looking for a nice venue for an event their private room is so pretty, bright and perfect!

We were not informed of any time limit. Our server was great, we ordered our food, and after we were done a manager (not the general manager, because I spoke to him after) came by and asked us to leave because they needed the table. It was 8:30. A fairly abrupt way to end our meal with friends. I spoke with the general manager and said that was wrong and that shouldn't have happened. Needless to say, he did nothing about it, the food was 3*, and the experience left a bad taste, so we won't be back. Customer first always wins, profits first loses. We had a nice dessert at a place down the street after they kicked us out.
