This is my favorite restaurant in Waltham! I love to bring people here, because they have something for everybody, from my friends who are impressed by the number of vegan dishes on the menu, to the meat-lovers who love the Loc-Lac and the steak-frites. I have also come here with children in tow, and the staff were very helpful in finding things that the kids would eat.
The Loc-Lac is garlic tenderloin tips, with plenty of garlic. If you're looking for flavor, that's the dish I would recommend.
Another unique dish is the Mee Siem au Poulet. A spicy noodle and chicken dish topped with strips of egg. It's a fascinating combination of tastes.
You should start with some spring rolls, which come on a plate with big lettuce leaves, sprouts, and some sauce. You rip off a piece of the lettuce, toss in some sprouts and a spring roll, spoon on the sauce and roll up the lettuce. it's a great combination of textures and flavors, as well as a test of your dexterity.
The portions are generous, but if you have room left over for dessert, I like the peche au chocolate - a very rich, intense piece of chocolate cake. My friench-speaking friends tell me it translates to "chocolate sin", but I think it's heavenly.
Pros: Unique flavors, fresh food
Cons: none

I get take-out here a lot and have also dined in. The food is delicious, service was great. Take-out is ready quickly. I love their vegetable soup and they have awesome Pad Thai (it's a huge portion and I typically get one order and eat it for 3 days!) The pineapple chicken is very yummy - chicken with vegatables and cashews in pineapple sauce with rice. I highly recommend this to those new to Thai food as well as those who already are fans! Ambience is very nice, Asian themed with lots of nice plants etc.
Pros: Great food, quick service, nice restaurant
Cons: Only issue is the parking lot can get a little hairy

I've gone to Spamedica for two years and have always been impressed with their friendly staff and the changes in me! I've done the fat and cellulte laser (the Vela) which smoothed my legs. My skin was even 'tighter'. I also did the Vela on my stomach and lost 2 inches. The people at Spamedica always make me feel like a 'friend'-- I look forward to my appointments. The doctor seems to be there all the time, which is nice, since so many of these places dont seem to have a doctor on the premises. He's done my Botox and removed some spider veins from my legs, and both results were great. He has always given me honest, thorough information. I've always felt I'm in good hands at Spamedica and trust them with my 'improvements'! Thanks Spamedica!
Pros: Super Staff. The Services Work. Knowledgable, Honest. Doctor is always there.
Cons: Evening and Saturday appointments book up quickly.

This restaurant was always big with the Brandeis University student crowd when I was there a few years ago, considering it?s relatively close to campus. Waits got long on weekend nights though, so I?d definitely recommend reservations. The dining room also had a tendency to get noisy. But the food was as good as any other Bertucci?s outlet and mayb a step above other Italian chains, like Olive Garden. Pizzas at this Bertucci?s came out of a wood oven, and I could sit there all night just eating those warm dinner rolls and be satisfied. This place definitely wasn?t a bad choice for dinner with the family or a large group of friends when I was in Waltham.
Pros: food, parking
Cons: noisy dining room, long waits

This is one of those stores that from the outside looks like it probably won't have what you are looking for. However once you get inside it is packed with goodies. They have everything for every celebration. Including decorations for classrooms or homeschooled children.
Its conveniently located less than a mile from the Bently Campus. Prices are very competitive and the help is very friendly. There is ample parking.
What I like best is being able to do one stop shopping for my party needs.

If it is a game or game related you will find it here. From puzzles to pool cues they really do carry any bit of game related paraphernalia If you’ve ever hunted for that game you fondly remember, your search would end here. You can shop for the kids and for the pub all in one place.

The food off the regular Chinese menu (standard fair) is above average. The decor is pretty much non-existent and the place has no atmosphere whatsover, but unless you're on a date or something I don't think it matters much. The people who work here are quite friendly and accomodating. The reason to come here is for the Dim Sum, served on weekends until 3 p.m. We arrived one Sunday right at 3:00, but they served us Dim Sum anyway. The food is good, not greasy, and I've been told by Chinese people is quite authentic. The delight of 3 (which is really just 2 different things, so I'm not sure what the 3rd is) was truly delightful (well, one delight was a nutty bean paste filling that was okay, but the other was a nutty honey sesame filling that was delicious -- they are glutinous white balls with a filling. YUM). They're far enough down Main Street that parking doesn't seem to be too much of an issue.

The bread is better then the one we had in Italy, authentic antipastai like sopressata homemade and capicollo wich You can't find in stores. Well worth the visit. Also to mention rare wine that we never tasted before abosolutely unique and delicious.
Pros: food quality real Italian food family owned
Cons: hidden location
