I had a perfectly poured Guiness and the most delicious fish and chips I've ever had for lunch. We sat on the patio on a beautiful day and really enjoyed the atmosphere. I can't wait to try it out at night for after work drinks and dinner.
Pros: good draft beer, great food, cheap prices
Cons: none

I have yet to introduce somebody to the Lil Piston sandwich at Diesel Cafe who does not immediately fall in love with it - from prissy girls to football jocks. Amazing. For a little over 8 dollars (yes a pretty expensive sandwich but totally worth it) you can get this AMAZING sandwich with huge chunks of fresh mozarella, mixed greens, delicious pesto, tomato and yummy turkey. It sounds like a typical sandwich but I have not yet been able to find a decent replication anywhere else. The place sometimes uses up certain ingredients before the end of the day, but this is because they would rather serve the freshest ingredients possible, or nothing at all. In college I used to come here and study and sip on some of their delicous free trade coffee. I made the horrible mistake of bringing Starbucks in there once - don't do it. I got yelled at. I wish I could have some Diesel right now!
Pros: Mouth watering sandwich, fun vibe
Cons: A little on the expensive side but totally worth it, parking, only one meat available (turkey)

I pop in here every few weeks just to take a look at their amazing selection of antiques. Usually the furniture inventory doesn't change much, but the accessories and collectibles are always changing. There are always really cool Tiffany style stained glass lamps, cool china, neat clocks, etc. It's a great place to "treasure hunt" for the perfect item for your home - you never know what you'll find! My impression is that you can haggle a bit on price, especially on larger more expensive items!

I have frequented Orleans bar and restaurant on many occasions for food and beer and have yet to be disappointed. Last night was no different. We arrived in a party of six and we were promptly seated by the very friendly hostess were greeted at our table by our server and had our drinks in no time. The DJ had his music at just the right decibel to create a good vibe and buzz to put us in our mood for our night out.The food was very tasty and well presented and our drinks were always full. As the kitchen closed our server finished and the cocktail waitress took us over.She never once passed our table without checking our drinks and as our party grew to 8 people she accommodated us very well.Her personality and prompt service was all around fantastic. I would highly recommend Orleans to anyone with all the local near by locations for entertainment and it is just steps from the train.
Pros: Great Food,service and atmosphere

The Joshua Tree in Somerville is a great place for drinks with friends. They have oversized booths and an oversized bar. They have tons of beer on tap and offer pitchers of beer as well. They play a large variety of music but there isn't a lot of room to dance if the mood hits you. Its definitely a college crowd so bring your patience with you. The Joshua Tree is fairly low key and definitely a fun time!

I don't know what some of the other users are complaining about- especially when it comes to the waiters. I've been to Diva several times- the food has always been great, and the service very good and the waiters polite. Moreover, the restaurant is one of the nicest in terms of atmosphere in all of Somerville.
Pros: Food, Atmosphere
Cons: None

This place offers a great selection of Italian dishes. It is located close to Tufts and is easy to get to by foot or by car. The restaurant is relatively small but they do a great job of taking care of their customers within a relax climate that makes a small eatery feel like a classy sit-down restaurant.

I nearly wept when the blue-eyeshadowed, Aqua-Netted waitress asked how soft I wanted my poached eggs. It's that kind of place. The breakfast is your basic eggs and pancakes (breakfast until 3pm daily), and dinner ranges from basic sandwiches and burgers tto meatloaf plates. There's a full bar and a couple beers on tap. No cell phone talking is allowed, which is just as well since the place is tiny. All the classic rock you could want. Tea aficionados note - they have ready-brewed tea, so no annoying shoving of a teabag onto a wet napkin. Touches like this make the Rosebud a favorite.

OMG! I've never been here before and as soon as I walked through the door I fell in love with this place! They had Rock Band 2 on the big screen at the back of the bar and a Nintendo Wii up front!
My friends and I had so much fun pretending to be rock stars all night! I even got up and sang Wonderwall (I sounded horrible, but for some reason nobody noticed!)
The service was good and the food and drinks were great! The crowd was sort of mixed up with a lot of college kids but also a bunch of 30-somethings. Everyone was really cool though and we made some new friends too!
We'll definitely be back next Wednesday night to play Rock Band!
Pros: Rock Band and Nintendo Wii on Wednesday nights!
Cons: Sometimes hard to get the bartender's attention
