Had one of the best, tastiest, and most memorable meals here. It was a couple of years ago, so I can't offer too many details...but the fact I can remember it says something. We had the lamb shank and it was "off the hook" to quote our funny waitress. The service was great, the place was cozy, and like I said, the food is excellent (the kind of meal you remember years down the line!). I hope things haven't changed (although we went some time ago, it is possible things aren't as they were for our experience).
Pros: excellent food and service
Cons: can be crowded

As a fan of fresh, overstuffed sandwiches and panini's, I usually get my artichoke chicken sandwich from Au Bon Pain, but the Capriccio Panini-like sub at Big Daddy's blew me out of the water.
They load on the fresh buffalo mozzarella like it was shredded cheddar (most places skimp on the more expensive products to save cash) and the added chicken option is well worth it-more flavor and texture to up this already mouth watering treat. My fiance tried the garlic bread and was also amazed at how fresh and truly "garlicky" it was for just a little sub shop. I highly recommend this little Brighton joint. Free delivery and reasonable prices compared to most. I'm on my way there right now!

I had lunch at Bill's last week and it was great. I tried a couple different slices and they all were delicous. I strongly recommend trying the chicken ranch pizza, it tasted great and the slices were huge. This place is fantastic and I can't wait to go back.
Pros: everything
Cons: none

I always have a great meal at cafe nicholas. I usually go to the one in newton centre, but occasionally go to the one in washington square in brookline too.First of all the pizza is great, they make a terrific homemade sauce, and I highly recommend the marghertia pizza ( or chicken margherita), it is my favorite.I also like their pasta dishes, their main chef, Junior, makes a great chicken balsamico, and chicken marsala.And you cannot beat the prices, great value for friends and family for casual dining.The breads and rolls are always fresh and delicious.Great salads too.The previous review, I can understand the wait-staff/counter issue. It is kind of a hybrid, counter service/table service restaurant, mostly counter service, but they definitely wait on tables in the back as best possible. Sometimes when they are busy it is hard for them to wait tables in the back efficiently. But this should not turn you off, it you have reasonable expectations. They also have a terrific room in back with fireplace and 50 TV.It is great for lunch during work, late nite dinner (they are open till 10) and I always see families having birthday parties in the back on the weekends.Lastly, it is a local family owned business, Nick the owner is a class act, who is a caring member of the business community and the local schools and charities. I have known Nick for 7 years, and frequent his cafe at least once per week, and give him 5 stars.

Sol Azteca has outstanding Mexican and Spanish food. I've had almost everything on the menu and found their carnitas (pork tenderloin with chipotle sauce) and enchilada mole are the best. It's a little pricey compared to other Mexican food places in Boston, but it's by far the best and most authentic.
I'm originally from Southern California and have travelled extensively in Mexico. This is what Mexican food should taste like.

This is one of my all time favorites. The cooking has always been outstanding and the service friendly. The dishes I recommend the most are the Mushroom Julienne and the Sturgeon Tzar. The pan friend pototates are also great with Russian taste of dill to them. Cranberry Vodka is great by itselft and between courses to clean the palate.
Pros: Cuisine, prompt service
Cons: need reservations

I enjoy eating at Charley's. They have great all-American food with friendly servers and delicious, large portioned food. One of my favorites for lunch is the clam chowder in the bread bowl. The bread is just as good as the clam chowder. It is alway steaming hot with lots of clams and potatoes. The bread is just delicious too. The rueben is also one of my favorites, and their french fries are always great that come with the sandwich. They load the grilled bread with just enough meat and condiments, not overloading but not skimping either. It's just right. Sometimes there is a wait, especially on weekend evenings, but I think it is worth the wait.

Yes I love Coconut Cafe they are the Thai place of my heart. My absolute favorites: Thai Tom Yum (Hot & Sour) Soup, the Chicken Mango Yellow Curry is to DIE for, and some sweet little curry flaky pastry item they have sometimes which is divine. I wish I had all three of those things right now come to think of it. Oh and I love their decorations very cute and cheerful.
