    Feta and spinach omelette with field greens
    Big N.

    We had the most outstanding breakfast today! Great food and service ! Super tasting food and my new go to

    10 am on Saturday.  Should be slamming.  Isn't.  Might be a floundering business.

    The Griddle is trying to be something that it is not. One day as we drove by we made a mental note to come back and go for breakfast. That day unfortunately was today. A beautiful Saturday morning in early summer. It was dead. Breakfast places are supposed to be slamming every weekend morning. The host who greeted us looked around the empty dining room as if he couldn't figure out where to seat us. Perhaps it was busier than normal after all. We sat. We ordered. We waited. Seemed like too long being we were pretty much the only diners. I got the hash sampler with brisket and pulled pork. She an omelette with ham onions and cheddar. Mine was fine. Everything lacked seasoning. Hers she thought was too much cheese. Too much stuffing. Too little egg. Halfway home to Framingham she felt sick. Me I've had abdominal dissension and left upper quadrant abdominal pain. If you want to diagnose me... go for it. I've diagnosed it as bad breakfast. STAY AWAY!

    I'm glad we weren't able to eat at our original planned destination and came upon a newly opened…read morethis year Bar'cino in Westwood! The staff, managers, server all were very nice and accommodating. Food came out fast and hot. Also had a very nice conversation with the couple next to us, who had wisdom and knowledge of some history which we could relate to. We ordered the following: - Fritto misto 3/5 for me. The garlic/lemon aioli that was loaded on the bottom of the dish was great just allows u to smear and dip everything into the plate instead of a small dip dish everyone has to share. The calamari and shrimp portion is a nice appetizer size. Crispy yes, but our portion was a bit overcooked. - spaghetti Al limone - perfectly cooked, nice chew and portion. You get 4 jumbo shrimps on the pasta plate. The lemon zest sauce was tasty! Enjoyed this! 5/5 - fennel sausage pizza 5/5 I really enjoy the way they make the pizza, crispy, good bites, fresh and served on the plate with a pair of pizza scissors so you can make your own "slices" loaded with toppings. It was a good thin style. Ample bits of fennel sausage, peppers onions and scallion fresh on top. - limoncello mascarpone cake 5/5 This was a great cap to the meal. Light, the mascarpone was refreshing, the cake was not heavy and the lemon flavor came thru like a champ! Not overly sweet which is a plus for us. Some bakeries make their cakes so sweet, that it all just tastes artificial, the slice here was yummy.

It was super cool to learn that they are Employee owned, and currently working on new restaurant concepts set to open soon. Here's what we ordered: - Shirley temple - fritto misto - fennel sausage pizza - spaghetti al limone - limoncello mascarpone cake Portion sizes were quite generous! Much bigger than what we were expecting, based on photos we looked at. We started off with the fritto misto, which included fried calamari, shrimp, & fried lemon with a lemon aioli to dip. The lemon aioli was spread all over the bottom of the dish instead of in a ramekin. We actually prefer it this way! Loved the lemon aioli and fried lemons. Calamari was not bad; slightly overcooked. On to our entrees! Their pizza is thin & very similar to a flatbread. We enjoyed this a lot! Great flavor and loved that we got to cut it ourselves. Came with a good amount of toppings. The spaghetti was made al dente & came with a creamy lime sauce. You can definitely taste the lime here! This came with 4 big shrimps. We were able to finish everything we ordered at this point... so we decided to get some dessert! We ordered the limoncello mascarpone cake to try & it was delicious! It tasted refreshing and not heavy at all. Overall, we had a great dinner here. Our server was very nice, attentive, and helpful with giving suggestions for what we should order. Checking out was also very easy. They offer QR code scan to pay through Toast, which can be scanned on your receipt bill.

I was not nasty about it either time (I mean, stuff happens), and the first time I waited while they made my order....the second time I just asked for my money back and you would think I insulted the Karen working their like I had disparaged her entire family. It was actually so weird to me it was funny, and the woman next to me joked that she would walk me to my car if I was worried angry woman would follow me. I mean, talk about DEATH STARE. LOL If they do mess up, I promise you, you will get no apology at all, just snippy people returning your money and acting like it was all your fault. It was bizarre....and it happened both times I visited. I get that the owner thinks his choices of products and ingredients is so superior ( if you read through the comments on this place, he has chimed in several times on bad reviews with a hilarious sales pitch, which does little to change anyone's mind when they don't like the food or service, but I'm sure it makes him feel better---turn lemons into lemon aid, am I right ? Ha ha ha ) Anyhow, I did manage to get the overpriced chicken salad tub that they sell the first time I went (I picked it up myself from the cooler, so they couldn't forget to get it for me, LOL) and I have to tell you...the amount of tarragon in it would curl your hair. They aren't into subtlety, are these people? Totally inedible. Don't bother. There is a Brother's Market up the street that has great lunch and breakfast options.

Well I've eaten at a lot of Greek restaurants here and in Greece and this is one of the best places I've ever been to, to have a good sit down Greek meal. Where I live there are great restaurants for any type of cuisine you can imagine and a great Greek restaurant but the one near me is more like the best fast food in Greece. (A gyro wrap is the most traditional Greek fast food you can get). If people every ask me where to go to try other great Greek dishes, I will tell them to go there, 10 minutes from where I live and and on the eat home come by and drop off their left overs. They accommodated us for a table of 7 and although it can be a bit loud, you can still talk to anyone in your party. But i would recommend getting a reservation so you don't have to rely on luck like we did. The prices might be a little higher than some of your typical sit down restaurants, but worth every penny.

This place happened to be exactly in the middle between where my friend and I live, so we decided to meet here for lunch. The street corn flatbread was tasty and cheesy, and my friend's fried chicken sandwich was also good. Service was friendly if a bit slow. After lunch, we went apple picking which was I think $34 for a peck which is pretty standard nowadays. They had macoun, macintosh, cortland, and some other varieties, but I prefer my macs. The apple orchard is very small compared to other places I've been, but served its purpose. Would have been nice to have a couple ladders in the orchard for easier access to apples on top. Would have also been nice if the bathrooms were not portapotties--my friend and I chose to hold it lol. They also have a pen with chickens, ducks, and goats that look fairly happy and well cared for. We came on a weekday so it was not crowded at all, but I would imagine it gets packed on weekends.
