Who makes a ham & cheese without mustard?? Blandest sandwich ever. I requested barbecue chips, got billed 50 cents for it, but didn't get the chips. By the time we realized they shorted us the chips, we were on the road. I guess their golden days are past them. There are better choices. I'll miss the "old" Pressed with their flavorful sandwiches and excellent order management.

My daughter loves making lists of things for us to do when I'm visiting her in Mass. and one of…read morethose things was getting breakfast here in Newton. There's almost something cozy about a place like this. Knotty P. has all the diner signs: worn counter, people yapping, the waitress taking orders non-stop, booths aren't huge, aisles are tiny (good luck getting to your seat) and the special scrape sound of the large metal spatula touching the steel flattop. If you don't mind sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with the regulars, then the counter is your spot. The only 2 seats available were at the counter and we snagged them. The breakfast potatoes are exactly what you want them to be: crispy-edges and golden- these have a little heat kick- not too much- but just enough to keep you going for another bite. As non-meat eaters, we appreciated how the cook keeps the sausages in their own territory (something is something I guess) from the omelettes, pancakes, etc. Then there's the energy- fast and a little loud in the best way. And right in the middle of it, is Ileana who has that special spark and every beat, timed.

It's a fun, modern take on a restaurant environment, but I still found it just okay. The beers on tap weren't the most interesting; good representation of different styles but not a lot of diversity in breweries. The layout also feels a bit weird, with tables and group activities (ping pong, etc) making for awkward paths and not a lot of intermingling. Finally, I didn't try any food on my visit, but it was funny to see the interior get pretty smoky at times; maybe a new ventilation system is overdue.

It's so funny, everywhere we went today there was a Tatte Bakery right next door. Guess it was a sign for us to get something from Tatte haha. I've honestly only ever visited Tatte a few times. Usually to get a drink or shakshuka. Today, we decided to get a pistachio croissant and an iced matcha latte. I love pistachio croissants with pistachio cream filling but I find that not many places around here offer that. It's usually just the croissant with crushed pistachios on top. This one, to my surprise, did have pistachio cream inside. Only had a little smear of the cream though. I found the croissant to be meh. The pistachio cream itself was tasty, however, the croissant was incredibly dry and crunchy. Must be a bit stale since we visited ~6pm/later in the day. 2.5/5 As for the matcha iced latte, it wasn't anything to write home about. It was bland. No real matcha flavor & to me, tasted like green colored milk. I'm sure they use some type of matcha powder to make the drink but this was absolutely no bueno. Unimpressed. Perhaps the worst matcha latte I've ever had. 0/5 Overall, not likely to revisit Tatte for these items. Staff was nice though!! Parking: street parking

Wings with Buffalo Hot on a Friday lunch thankfully didn't come out within a suspicious two minutes of ordering, as my last few have. Smoke rising and piping hot, but only a light splash of sauce, with much of the wings still exposed. Nice bold flavor with pepper and vinegar components intertwining beautifully. Crispness achieved. Tenderness and juiciness, still in the past, at least based on my recent visits. Not totally dry, but too close for a joint that was once my gold standard for wings. Bonus points for mini chunks in the blue cheese.

First impression: There really wasn't any parking so we couldn't enjoy our food inside. We called ahead and waited in the car. The place is small but really cute. Very clean and welcoming. The place is really well decorated and the music makes it a really cute ambience. Tables are a bit small but I would say for a quiet grab to eat it's not that big of a deal. Our order: Dominican hotdog- all the way Small order of fritura ( carne, longaniza, and chicharron ) with totones yaroa de chicharron Chimi- regular 1. The hotdog was amazing. It tasted just as if we were in the "patio", Dominican Republic. It had sautéed cabbage meat sauce cheese ketchup and mayo. 2. The fritura or the fried meats was also very well seasoned especially the carne/ steak. The tostones were a bit soft but I'm sure they would've been crispy had we had our food there. 3. Chicharron Yaroa- this was okay, nothing really stood out 4. Chimi- this was not my favorite at all. When I look for a Chimi I am looking for the works, nice meat size to fit bread ratio and fillings like cabbage, onions tomatoes etc. here, the Chimi is very pressed like a panini with just mayo ketchup and light cabbage Overall what really stood out to me was their Dominican hotdog and fritura. I would definitely go back to get my hotdog cravings satisfied.

First off, the service was terrible. Our waitress walked around with a long face the entire time. It felt like somebody needed to comfort her or remind her to put on a smile once in a while, but that wasn't our job. Meanwhile, a group of other waitresses just stood around at a corner gossiping, giggling, and openly staring at new customers that were arriving. It was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful. To make matters worse, the restroom was filthy. There were no paper towels in either of the two holders, and the electric hand dryer didn't even work. There are plenty of other options nearby that actually care about cleanliness and customer service. We will never come back here again. They don't deserve more than one star.
