Tokenfire — Restaurant in Quincy

This was unfortunately one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. It's possible this was an off night, but I won't be coming back to see. There were three total people working on a busy Saturday - one in the kitchen, one at the bar, and one waiting tables. We were a party of two that arrived at 6:45pm.

It took the staff around 15 minutes to give us menus and another 10 or so to take our drink orders. We also tried to put an appetizer in at that time. We had to flag down staff to put our entrees in around 40 minutes in, before our drinks arrived, when we learned that our appetizer hadn't been put in either. At around an hour into our visit, we finally got our drinks (two Pepsi, not cocktails or alcohol), and had no update on when our food would be arriving. The Pepsis arrived with limes that looked like they had been cut multiple days ago - they were shriveled and discolored.

When my wife tried to pay for what had arrived and cancel our order, the staff refused to cancel it, saying you can't leave, we've already put the order in and it'll be out in a minute. It did come out within the time my wife was trying to pay, but the appetizer was raw in places and undercooked in others, and my entree was burnt. My wife's entree never arrived. When I went up to pay for what we'd gotten, staff seemed to ignore my request until I said you can either ring me up right now, or I'll walk out.

I understand being understaffed, but the rudeness we were treated with when all we wanted was to pay for what we were given and go was something I've never experienced. I've purposely put zero stars in Food, Service,...

This spot deserves way more attention. I know the location, tucked on a tricky corner near the intersection, might make it easy to overlook, but it’s honestly a hidden gem. The interior is beautiful, the food is consistently impressive, and the atmosphere is incredibly relaxing, whether you’re dining in or grabbing a seat at the bar.

The owner truly stands out. She’s warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the place, always present, chatting with guests, and making sure everything is just right.

I’ve sampled a few items from the menu, and everything has been excellent. Some might say the portions are on the smaller side, but in my opinion, they’re just right, satisfying without being over the top. Tonight, I had the burger with spinach and artichoke dip. The burger was juicy and packed with flavor, and the wedges were perfectly crisp.

If you haven’t been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. This place...

Have been wondering when this place would reopen, glad to say it is back! Great food and lots of draft options, including Guinness and many common New England craft brews (Maine Beer Co, Mighty Squirrel, etc). For food, had a burger, flatbread, and some appetizers, and all were really well executed. For me, it's priced about right, certainly competitive with others in the area.

Came in right at opening time on a Sunday afternoon, was quiet but a number of people were by the bar. Still in the early stages of reopening it seemed. Looks like the space was nicely redone, but never saw the older iteration. Couple TVs showing sporting events against the bar. All staff members, especially our bartender/server, were very attentive and making sure we had a great meal. Should absolutely be part of the Quincy Center restaurant rotation with Townshend,...
