Pops

Delicious, well-priced food is music to our ears

By ROBERT NADEAU | April 4, 2007

4.0 Stars

The service at Pops is very good. Although Samson doesn’t come to the table, you can see him arranging plates in the kitchen — he’s the really handsome guy. Beautiful platters have a price, and some food was lukewarm at the table. Still, our waiter was knowledgeable and helpful beyond the usual, and very good with wine and coats. He deserved a better tip than the mechanical gratuity that the Phoenix expense account allows.

GENNARO'S 5 NORTH SQUARE RISTORANTE | November 25, 2009
The owners of Caffé Vittoria and the Florentine Cafe took over this venerable tourist trap that looks out on North Square a year ago, renamed it for their son last May, and quietly spiffed up the rooms and the menu.

CITY TABLE | November 18, 2009
I'm enjoying this restaurant recession more than the last one.

ARTBAR | November 16, 2009
How do we find hidden gems? You can't just look under the radar. Sometimes the hiding place is behind a famous name, as is the case with ArtBar.

JADE GARDEN SEAFOOD RESTAURANT | November 04, 2009
Ready for some reasonably priced lobster after years of paying too much? You’re in luck, since a price war seems to be unfolding on the streets of Chinatown, with various window signs advertising twin lobsters in ginger and scallion for as low as $14.95.

Get two journalists in a room these days, and before the conversation is five minutes old they'll probably be kvetching about the grim state of the news business. Unless, that is, they happen to be sports journalists, in which case the conversation will likely focus on how absurdly bright the future looks. Especially here in Boston.
