Kathy Martin (wkathym): We have always loved coming here. But tonight I had a lobster roll, and halfway through, there was an ammonia flavor. Two chunks tasted of this. Eeeew! This was a $45 lobster roll (served warm). I was very surprised and very disappointed. This place has a wonderful reputation. They are known for their seafood. So, I am not sure what happened. The service, however, was stellar. I will probably come back, but will be on my guard.

Mister Mister: My family enjoyed this iconic place as we have eaten here 3 times in the past 10 years when we visit Boston. Service was excellent, manager friendly (showed my adolescent boys the large lobsters) and fun atmosphere. So why the low rating? My shrimp were woefully overcooked, rubbery and inedible...how can that happen at a place that specializes in seafood? The scallops were also overcooked, but not as bad. However, they were gritty. The food highlight were the brussel sprouts and my son's swordfish.

michael hernandez: These guys went above and beyond for me this past Sunday at there drag brunch event. Ruben, the manager showed excellent, over the top hospitality and made a odd special request happen for me by adding a drink name for my partner on the brunch menu. In addition to that, they spoke with the drag show artist for a special shout out and presented the cake I had got for her with the entire room singing to just her.( I felt bad for the other lady's who were also celebrating a birthday) our server was also really good and attentive making sure we had our drinks right out and she had a large amount of covers with a lot going on! The menu was small but perfect for brunch and executed perfectly and so fast I thought the runner was at the wrong table. I highly recommend this place to anyone that needs a venue for a larger party or just a date. To everyone that was there on Sunday I am sincerely grateful. You made a special woman's entire day and made me look like I'm a catch 😂 Cheers to Ruben and staff. Hospitality like that is hard to find now aways.

Scott Bloom: Paid $34 for grilled shrimp and scallops. Potatoes came out pretty raw and shrimp was way over cooked. Had a greasy calamari that was…well….greasy. I’ve been here before and won’t ever come back. Place has always been overhyped and underperformed but this was the worst. Told the waitress and she literally asked me what do you want me to do and brought me a side dish of mashed.

Brigitte P: The atmosphere was great with live bands inside and out. The service was okay, food was good. My partner got the Jamaican jerk wings and he didn't love them but did like them.Not super vegetarian friendly as a fried chicken restaurant, but there are options. I got the house salad and brussel sprouts and both were pleasantly surprising.

Lance Li: A pleasant surprise in the office district of Kendall Square. The story behind Lily P’s fried chicken and oyster sounds enticing and I walked in to see how can fried chicken and fried oyster come together. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to try their fried oysters.The highlight of the meal was the Nashville hot fried chicken (half bird, 4 pieces). It’s very juicy, tender, and full of flavor, the battered crispy skin literally falls off of your mouth, and more importantly, they were able to keep the chicken breasts tender as well. (I have had very dry ones). Another surprise was how small the buttermilk biscuits were, but delicious!Fries were a bit too salty with the ranch, black pepper honey were a bit too sweet.Otherwise, this fried chicken shop tastes even better than the (in)famous Popeyes friend chicken sandwich.

Daniel Wang: Great fried chicken in cool ambience and fantastic service!!! Our chicken was delayed so they brought us some cornbread muffins in the meantime. They happily replaced my friends drink because he ordered the wrong beer. Will def be back in the summer!

Chris Gerry: Lily P's offers good oysters, mediocre fried chicken (tasty batter but too oily), and great sides. The mishmashed decor and atmosphere are puzzling – it's not clear what vibe they're trying to set. Kendall has many better options within just a few blocks. If you have your heart set on chicken and cocktails, Shy Bird will likely provide a better experience.

Olivia Jacobs: Jake is the best bar tender I've ever met. I've been coming here for Bluegrass Tuesdays for a while now, and I love to see Jake behind the bar. He is friendly and efficient and just really an excellent service person. He deserves a raise and a promotion. He seriously makes the night so nice for us at the bar. Thank you Jake.

Jessica Julien: Chicken sandwich was 50% batter and 50% undercooked meat

Conrad Osmond: All HAIL the 🐔 SANDO 👑I dare you to find a better chicken sandwich anywhere.. unfortunately they reduced the heat on the spicy sauce..still the 👑 of the chicken 🐔 sandwich..

Seth Holmes: Bluegrass Tuesdays at Lily P's is fantastic every single week. Great music, drinks, and food.Parking: The parking garage is a little tricky to find. They validate at Lily P's so it's free. There's only one open door to the underground garage after a certain hour.

Annaliese Heindel: he’s friend shaped (spicy wasp cocktail) bartender also let me borrow his charger, nice dude! (Bartender not the bear cup)

Hann Solo: Fun atmosphere. Open layout where you can see everything. Only qualm is that it was very, very loud and the foot of our two-person table took up the entire floor. We could not rest our feet flat the whole time and the table leg is totally in the way of our knees. I'm a small person and found the table space cramped and uncomfortable. Food was excellent, brussel sprouts, pasta, salmon. The drinks are also terrific, esp. the absinthe drinks. Service was 10/10. Will be returning for special nights again but at the bar seating.

Jordan Hartman-Wexler: Second time eating here, was an incredible experience both times. Fantastic for large groups, family style is perfect.

Max P: Cocktails, pizza and pasta. A pretty solid combination on paper, and the execution was decent. Came as a group of four and ordered family style - we split two pizzas (the mushroom was great but the clam one was somewhat bland), and pastas. I did quite like the uni bucatini, but then didn’t think much of the dessert menu either.

Michael Toensmann: Very lively place, great atmosphere. The steaks were unbelievable excellent.

Kay K: The staff were warm and accommodating. The food was absolutely fresh and fast. We started with the pepperoni pizza which was delicious while it was hot and had a portion of the fries which were different from the norm in a good way. Wine, cocktails were great. Will revisit!!Recommended dishes Crab French Fries …More

Chido Sanchez: The food was excellent. Staff was awesome. Mike is very knowledgeable and answered all of our outlandish questions. Only issue was the seats. The counter stools and bar stools we're pretty uncomfortable for the initial sit and some may or may not get used to it.My recent visit was a complete letdown...lack luster Definitely not where they were when I first visited. My reservations were at 8, which is pretty much the last seating of the evening. So perhaps we can chalk it all up to fatigue towards the end of the day, not sure. The host staff seemed as if they did not want to be there. The food runners also seemed as if they did not want to be there. Overall this last trip there was a complete bust, and if I didn't know what they were capable of as a restaurant, I probably wouldn't go back. I will however give it another chance because I do know/hope they are better than what they showed me this last time. In between my first time in this most recent I'm I have been there several other times, and this was an anomaly.

Daniel Wang: Cheap $ oysters!

Katerina Ivannikova: Highly overrated and overpriced for what we’ve experienced. Each slice was inconsistent with toppings and how cooked it was. Most of the spices were superfluous and didn’t taste good. We also waited for 45-50 min to get appetizers.Service was ok.

Josh Denault: First time and it was a little rough.I'm assuming Waypoint is having trouble staffing, as the service felt disjointed and distant. No real welcome from our server, at first I honestly assumed he was a busser and was just providing water. No check in after food was delivered. Cocktails were finished, and no offer to fill empty glasses. Dishes just sort of come out whenever, which must be easier for the restaurant, but at these prices I admit to expecting things to be more intentional. "Are you all set?" is admittedly one of my peeves, as I think "anything else?" or "can I get you desert, coffee, more drinks?" is more appropriate.The food - wife had the shrimp cocktail and Jonah crab pasta, and she enjoyed both a great deal. I had the house salad and the burger, both of which were good. Lots and lots of lettuce (escarole?) on the salad. Lots and lots of fries with the burger.The drinks - this was the highlight for me. Fairly Buzzed, the absinthe cocktail I had was quite tasty, as was my wife's tequila drink, titled Wasp's Nest.She would've had at least a glass of wine, and I would've had at least one more drink, but it just never happened.So the food was good. Not great, but it was certainly good enough to warrant a return. The service and environment however will probably keep us from doing so. Too many other options in the area.

James W: Made an early reservation for V-Day based on a review I read, but it was definitely a disappointment as we drove into the city to give Waypoint a try. I knew parking might be an issue so I called to check and the restaurant message said that there was valet parking available. When I called prior to arrival, I was told there was no valet service on Tuesdays (not on their message) and that I would need to find side street parking. That was not very helpful. The hostess made it sound like we might lose our reservation. We arrived 15 minutes late after searching for parking and were seated. Our server was very pleasant, but the menu was uninteresting and ordinary for a restaurant advertised as a seafood place. The plates were small (Wood Grilled octopus was only 2 pieces and very salty), the family style vegetable roast was partially burnt, the French Fries were mostly hard and many were burnt. The Ora King Salmon plate was tasty, but the Jonah Crab & Angel Hair was very salty. Not even a goodbye from the host/hostess upon leaving. Would not recommend a trip into town for this.

Abi Doctor: Great spot for oysters!

Kate Davis: Ordered $60 worth of food, received 1 plain order of wings and a can of soda. If I could rate no stars, I would. We will never order from here again.
