Ballast Kitchen & Bar — Restaurant in Quincy

I am excited there is a new restaurant in Quincy and while Ballast has a lot of potential, it still has alot to improve upon (in my opionion).

Sweep under the legs of the table. The person I was with dropped something on the floor and when they went to retrieve it, noticed lots of food under the legs of the table. When sweeping, perhaps they should move the table to reach under the legs, otherwise, they run the risk of being dirty Sandwiches are pricey and do not come with fries. Out of principal, why not include. Ridiculous. Food was decent. The herb used in chicken sandwich was a little heavy. Coleslaw and butter pickles seem to be a menu trend right not and Ballast is on board.

My wife and I were exploring locally and found this a few months back and have visited several times since. The service is consistently great and the food/drinks have been exactly what I was hoping for. We usually go for brunch/lunch on weekends and the lemon ricotta pancakes have been the go-to even though the other offerings have been great (the Reuben is a solid lunch pick). When they open the windows in nice weather, it gets a nice breeze through the seating area without being a wind tunnel. We're definitely making this our...
