We liked the variety on the menu. The food was ok but not great. The ribs were very dry. The brisket was tasty but fatty. Service was fast and we liked the ambiance. But there are better places for bbq.

We had a good dinner at Balani Restaurant, a relatively new addition to restaurant row on Moody Street in Waltham.The menu is very eclectic, with a a bit of everything for everyone: steak, fish, chicken, a few vegetarian options.We had the egg and bacon salad (frisée salad and pork belly with a soft egg) and the beet salad with goat cheese, to start, which are both very good.For entrees we had the chipotle fried chicken with biscuits and the burger with pork belly. Again, both were quite good and served with fine nice collard greens.Nice bar and seating for drinks in the front with tables for dinner both in the front and back. Tables in the back seemed quieter and had tablecloths. Overall design and layout and music are funky and interesting. Good place if you don't know exactly what kind of food you want, or have many in your party with different tastes.Service is friendly and helpful.

It's a pretty typical irish pub, dark and inviting. But the surprise was the quality of the food. We went here based on prior reviews and were not disappointed. The servers were freindly , and the food was served promptly, hot and tasty. A little bit tight for seating and the place was packed. Would definently recommend, if your in the areaThanks for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review!

It is a beautiful restaurant in a very cool part of town. Normally we love tapas but they dropped the ball. The flavors overall were good but the service was terrible. They were extremely slow and haphazardly brought out our dishes. I wouldnât recommend.

Had a wonderful meal at Bistro 781! Our waitress was friendly and offered her opinion on dishes/drinks. I enjoyed a Cod dish off the specials menu it was perfectly cooked with a great balance of flavors. Wonderful drink options I especially enjoyed the "Stubborn Mule". Will absolutely be going back for some after-work drinks and dinner!

My partner and I stopped here for a drink while taking a nice walk around Waltham. We have stopped here before and liked it so decided to try again. They are good seating options, large TVs usually playing sports games (great during Red Sox season). Tons of great craft beer options. Since we are trying to "avoid" beer - we went with margaritas. We ordered one listed on the menu, and it was WAY to sweet. Drinks on the menu also are pre-mixed in batches - which we were told but decided to try (our bad). The bartender and our server, recommended we order off the menu, which we did and the second margarita was so much better. It is a full bar, so suggest you order what you like and not whats on the menu. She even took the first drinks off our bill....without us even asking. Very nice and will be back again.

Visited the Waltham location of NYAJ's last week with a group of friends. Had been to a few other locations before, so knew what to expect.I was in the mood for pizza, it was pretty good. Rest of the gang had salads, steak tips, etc. Everyone was pleased, no one was over or underwhelmed.I am pleased that everyone enjoyed their visit and I hope that we'll be seeing you all again real soon.

Good, solid food. Three different kinds of hard cider on draft, plus everything else you will want. Service is excellent: Kerry our server is polite, professional, and wonderfully patient; an absolute gem. Reasonable prices, good food, nice atmosphere. I'll definitely go here again.
