Salmon dinner
Paul L.

Ambience was an old school New England Tavern with an Inn attached to it. Food was above average and service was excellent. Would highly recommend the gnocchi appetizer. Menu changes four times a year with the seasons.

Calamari

service was subpar, we got our appetizer after sitting for an hour and then the bread we got came after our we had finished our entrees. Also I made a note that it was a birthday and that was never addressed. We enjoyed the food but wished the service was better he never really checked on us either.

Sirloin
Wendy S.

Great ambiance - love sitting at the bar with the fireplace roaring. The food is impeccable- we have tried the burger, the tuna tartare and a few other dishes. Tonight had the Pork Chop and Sirloin - wow! The brussel sprouts were amazing- the whipped potatoes with roasted garlic to put in them were so good and my steak was cooked perfectly mid rare. The pork chop dish was also amazing- our only ding was the risotto needed a touch more time. Overall - another great meal here!

Crab and Artichoke Dip
Maddie R.

Loved this place! We ate outside on a beautiful summer night, the inside was very cozy and had kinda wintery historic vibes. The service was great, our server recommended a few appetizers and all were fabulous! Food was fresh, came out quickly, and was really good- we will be back!

The Black Cat is a hole in the wall diner with a nice selection of delicious and creative breakfast…read moreand grilled lunch sandwiches. For lunch sandwiches, the Graham hit the spot. The ham, cheese, and jam was an amazing savory and sweet combo. The buttered toast was perfection. I was also a big fan of the Coleman breakfast sandwich. The apple paired nicely with the onions. Add in a well seasoned sausage patty along with a gooey egg and one of the best toasted English muffins ever and you hit breakfast sandwich bliss. The atmosphere is very laid back with a large counter that faces an open kitchen for a true diner experience. The tie dye shirts, cat decor, and mix of bluegrass and Grateful Dead music brings the hippie vibes that makes it more interesting than your typical diner. Highly recommend!

So we did, walking into the place, this was in mid July and we in the area were going through a heat wave, the air-conditioning was not there, in fact, we were the only customers, I was thinking about leaving, it was border-line sticky, I decided to "stick" it out, I am so glad I did, the food is so good, I ordered two eggs over, sausage, potatoes, fries and an English. The chef there came in with some homemade strawberry jam, so good, and then the breakfast which, I am telling you is better than greasy Toast, First Watch in Hanover- nothing there, and Stevie G's in Cohasset. If you are ever on 3A in Cohasset check these people out.

Ahhhhh me and Stoked go way back! Once upon a time, I worked in Boston and could see their food…read moretruck outside of my office in Dewey Square every Friday. My coworkers and I would wait in the rain, snow and freezing cold for one of these pizzas off the truck! You can imagine my excitement when I heard they were opening a brick & mortar location south of Boston, just a few towns over from where I live. My husband and I came in on a Friday night to check the place out... We ordered a pepperoni pizza and a mushroom & onion. While the pizza was good/decent, it was NOT the same pizza as off the truck!! Something about it tasted "off" in comparison to the truck pizza. But it was still delicious in comparison to your average pizza shop pizza. Definitely check this place out if you're a pizza connoisseur like myself ;)

First off if you think this is good pizza you need your head examined, or your standards are lower…read morethen your significant others. This is just some hipster local trendy joint- the food sucks- I'm sure the drinks are great - they looked great. Decor is fine, service is average. People wait on line for this garbage pizza? I mean the owner should hang his head in shame - especially since there was hair in it the second time I went- I always give two shots before a review we all have off days. Pure waste of money and time. I guess the people of Massachusetts have a low standard for everything especially good pizza. Don't waste your time. If you wanna improve use good ingredients ever heard of 00 flower, cheese is poor quality, also learn how to make pizza dough.

Sat in dining room to the left as u enter. There was only one other group in there seated at the time. Good selection of drinks , menu on the smaller side for something for everyone. Waitress friendly but Took an unusually long time to get our drinks. They were very good however. We ordered our food and appetizers of oysters and clams . Our friends really enjoyed them. We ordered bread w spicy edamame humus which was very good but could have used more of the yummy toasted sourdough bread for the humus which was happily a big portion.Main entrees took again unusual long time to come out. At this time restaurant filling up. Restaurant can get very loud, had to raise our voices a bit while talking to hear one another. Entrees got thumbs up, herb chicken dinner, salmon burger, burger, Caesar salad was a side but big portion, delicious dressing , and fish tacos. Tacos were excellent. Fresh bit spicy, just the right size for 3 tacos. Overall food was very good and nice presentation, and I recommend, and I would go back, however service very slow but again friendly waitstaff and hostess. I took 1 star off due to slow service.

Hooper's Judge, I judge NOT!…read more Does anyone care about food and guests anymore? Service? Experiences? Well, our first time here at Hooper's Judge was such a disppointment, and here's why! To start - Hooper's Judge is a newer establishment in Cohasset about 20 minutes from Derby Street Hingham. I was craving decent seafood to start off my birthday week and have been wanting to try this place. Street parking is not that bad and we were able to score a table without reservations on a Sunday evening which normallly never happens. Upon walking in the young hostess brought us to the sun drenched table which at first I was like "at least we have a table." After a few minutes gone by our server came over and asked what we wanted to drink? Mind you I asked her about a few of their wines and she had no idea of what they were. So she brought me a sample and I went with the California Rose and my husband had a cocktail. Also, the owner/manager who was drinking wine at the bar with her friends moved our table since the sun was beating down on us and it was very uncomfortable. First off I see so many warning signs with the owner drinking her wine at the bar------NO Manager or Owner should ever be drinking on the job PERIOD! I know its brand new, but you should have a shade or something to block out to sun for guests because we were not the only ones complaining. In the middle - After awhile went by we ordered their Shredded Ceaser Salad to split. What was nice is they brought 2 separate plates over but not enough dressing and we never saw our server again to ask for more. Service I will say was not the best, but I feel like she was the only server to attend to all the tables. The End - Our dishes arrived and my Salmon was overcooked (btw I did order at first the Swordfish but seconds later my server came over saying it was sold out). She took my dish back, apologized and then a few minutes or so later MY SAME DISH CAME BACK with a different perfectly cooked Salmon. Know how I know? One of the Asparagus was missing and half of it was still on my plate___GROSS. Isn't this a food violation? That is so gross and if the Manager/Owner wasn't drinking (on the job) her wine she would know what was happening in her kitchen and on the floor and she would care what the outcome was but I guess NOT. You should be a shame or yourselves to serve food like this. The Manager did come over and apologize but that wasn't good enough. As a newly opened restaurant in the heart of a wealthy town Cohasset this shouldn't have happened and I will never be back...Ever. And, maybe you should think twice of coming here! What has happened with restaurants? Doesn't anyone care of food and guests anymore? I am sad that this happened to us and I hope it doesn't happen to anyone else. I would go elsewhere if you can and hope that after this review things will change!
