    It was our first time at the Waltham location. Four of the six of us have been to the Needham location many times. I loved that we could make a reservation and the ambiance was so cool. We all had delicious meals and absolutely would go back. I do love the Needham location though and we have celebrated so many special occasions there.

    We ordered several appetizers when we sat down. We waited about 20 plus minutes until I asked about our food. A few minutes later they served us our appetizers and main entrées at the same time.

    Had another great meal at Sweet Greens! Try the Brussels sprout appetizer, and the lamb and salmon entrees. And always nice to have their sangria! Friendly and helpful staff with fun, 1960s vibe atmosphere. Sweet Greens is an easy decision for a fun night out!

    My group of six had a fantastic experience at Sweet Basil on Moody on Tuesday evening. The atmosphere, food and overall feel terrific but a special shout out is due to our patient and kind server. She heard it was my birthday and brought a slice of the really delish date cake; she dealt with our party asking for a weird check break down and she helped us understand all the pasta shapes. Thank you sweet basil for a wonderful night!

    Music so loud it was impossible to have a conversation. Even the servers were struggling to hear.
