Really enjoyed the food here. Didn't have dinner but the meatballs were phenomenal. Some unique Thai flavors I definitely wasn't expecting. Would definitely come back! Place is kind of small and quite popular so it fills up fast. We got the last 2 bar seats and there were people waiting within 10-15 so make a reservation if you come at dinner time!

The best gastro pub in Boston, best restaurant in West Roxbury. Just so good. Very good food from the burger to the risotto to the salads, delicious cocktails (El Diablo!), topped with excellent service. Love this place. It’s small with just a few tables, make a reservation a week in advance — it doesn’t disappoint. Outdoor seating when it’s warm is lovely too.

Bottom line: If you are looking for a nice meal, go elsewhere! There are many other places nearby with better service and food. West on Centre across the street is an outstanding choice. If you just want a beer or mixed drinks, maybe Porter Cafe is for you. Overall rating: 2 stars (being generous) Food: 0 stars Service: 2/3 stars Ambiance: 2 stars

I've finished my drink and pushed it in front of me, he just looks at it and keeps hanging out with his friends. Tonight was the icing. Got there at 1110. We're told last call is in 30. His friends roll in and sit at t
