Chris Patti: This place has superb pub grub - the roast chicken is my personal fave, and a great beer selection! They always have beer from Honest Weight, a western MA brewery you don't see much in Boston!
Allison D.: Go with the small plates because they are all delicious. Smile at your cute server a lot (your server will be cute - everyone who works here is attractive).
Brian Moore: Good brunch. Duck confit hash features a sous vide-poached egg. Don't be afraid of its perceived undercookedness—it's been cooked to exactly the right temperature. Yum.

Matt Opsahl: The Grapefruit cocktail is the nectar of gods. Little Gem Salad, Manti and Cookie Dough great. Must return to try Raw bar / ceviche next time. This place is amazing.
Max: Really great fusion tapas. The raw bar has some rare items and there is a Portugal vibe throughout the menu.
Sofia Papastamelos: If you like small plates and different cuisines this is a great place for you. Always pretty crowded and food is great. Plates will sometimes rotate depending on the season.

Eater: State Park features amusements like tabletop shuffleboard, a small menu of reasonably priced Southern snacks and light bites, and a beverage program that includes pitchers of cocktails.

Rob Truxler: Order iced coffee, youll get iced espresso. Add cream and its a lot better and cheaper than a starbucks iced latte

Liz B: My favorite spot for breakfast - and lunch and dinner too! Turkey burger, Middle Eastern veggie wrap, Salmon on salad, Chicken parm - all great. And if it's Wednesday it's Chicken corn chowder day.
Matej Mavriček: Sunday brunch - Stuffed French toast, always a veggie burger on special, decent fried chicken and waffles, Ghost pepper burger, good beer list - including Abita purple haze. What else do you need?
