The Yard House at Legacy Place in Dedham
July 29, 2010
Last Friday night, we felt like grabbing a bite out with the 5-yo. I wanted to sit outside, so this limited our choices significantly. We opted to head over to Legacy Place in Dedam, because there are five different outdoor dining options there.
We wanted something the 5-yo would eat and didn’t want to wait for a table long, so we decided to try the Yard House, a chain restaurant known for having a very large number of beers on draft. I figured this place would have plenty of tables available. We immediately realized it would be too hot to eat outside anyway, as their patio faces the setting sun, so we figured we’d just sit inside. Read more
BFW Review of Fresh Catch in West Roxbury
July 7, 2010
About two years ago, a new takeout seafood place opened up on Centre Street in West Roxbury… Fresh Catch To Go. I wondered how they would do, as the location has limited parking and they are strictly takeout. Also, they joined the restaurant business just as the economy tanked. But two years later, and they are still there and seem to be doing okay.
I have no idea why (as I LOVE seafood), but I never got to Fresh Catch until about 3 weeks ago. The place where I get my pedicures is right next door, but the restaurant’s hours are a bit limited (closed on Sun/Mon, 4-9pm on Tue/Sat and 11am-pm on Wed/Fri)… so I guess it just never worked out for me until now.
I went in (of course), after a pedicure. It was early… about 11:30am, so it was quiet (no other customers). I knew what I wanted., so I ordered immediately… my summer addiction: a Lobster Roll. Read more
Want Modern Japanese Cuisine? Try Haru in Boston
April 16, 2010
HARU, Boston
Review By Rachel Lebeaux
Atmosphere: Interested in visiting Japan-where the famous Cherry Blossom Festival is taking place now-but can’t spring for the ticket? If it’s modern Japanese cuisine your palate seeks, a trip to Haru at the Prudential Center is in order.
Haru is a restaurant, sushi bar and bar located on the street level of one of Boston’s grandest structures. A New York transplant, it’s sleek, trendy and decorated according to the principles of beauty and simplicity that define Japanese aesthetics. Enter the restaurant on Huntington Avenue via a striking, temple-like portal. Inside, relax and appreciate the mellifluous lines, mint-green walls, earthy bamboo floors, tranquil aquamarine lighting, ethereal bubble-like fixtures, graceful stone sculptures, rock gardens, lush green ferns and cherry blossom-studded silk kimonos (see, there are your cherry blossoms!). At the sushi bar, chefs slice slivers of fresh fish and roll their creations in rice, while diners linger over chic cocktails and maki rolls in the main dining area. It’s a serene yet hip setting, and our waiter, Michael, was very personable and provided excellent suggestions on the menu. Read more

Pleasant Cafe Review!
November 6, 2009
Pleasant Cafe has been making pizzas in Roslindale since the 1940′s, using only the freshest ingredients and their own original recipes. All of the dough and sauces are made from scratch in-house, daily and, in order to create their delicious signature thin crust pizzas, they begin by hand rolling their dough. This is then topped with their original sauce, their three-cheese blend and whatever toppings the customer may fancy, and cooked in a big brick oven. Of course dinner isn’t complete without a signature cocktail – and they serve them all, from gimlets to cosmopolitans. Read more

Betty’s Review of iScream Works
June 17, 2008
With the first official day of summer fast approaching, iScream Works at 1876 Centre Street in West Roxbury didn’t open a moment too soon. Thenew ice cream shop officially opened its doors at 6:00 PM on Friday, June 13th with hundreds of ice cream starved residents waiting patiently in a line that stretched around the corner and down Hastings Street.
And the wait was certainly worth it. The shop features a large selection of Brigham’s ice cream flavors—Big Dig, Oreo Cookie, Bada Bing and Mocha Chip, just to name a few-as well as frozen yogurts, several soft serve options, and a wide range of toppings. Servings are available in
cups or sugar or waffle cones. Customers also have the option of taking home a hand-packed pint, quart or half-gallon for later. Read more
