Pops Restaurant - Where Country Garden meets Urban Chic.

Pops restaurant is simply adorable. This little South End eatery is just perfect! From the cutesy Country Garden aesthetic with an Urban Flair, to the fine tuned seasonal menu, we can count on Pops for an enjoyable dining experience every time!

A few of our favorites include but are not limited to: The Kobe Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes, Glazed Organic Carrots and Gravy $19 and the Truffled Butternut Squash Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter and Fried Egg $9.

For Brunch, The Brioche French Toast with Bananas and Nutella $9 are to die for! We recommend finishing off any meal with one of their signature Fizzy Champagne Cocktails.

HINT: Their Garden Room is precious and perfect for private parties of 20 or less, and their outdoor patio is a great spot for people watching!

The Martini Perfected - Bar Lola

On the corner of Comm Ave. and Dartmouth Street stands a Tapas Lounge and Bar named Lola. The warm red and amber candlelight is sexy, chic and inviting. We think the Tapas menu and the drink list are perfection. Try their signature martini, The Lolita. It is a delicious concoction of Stoli Perik, Gran Torres (a Spanish orange-flavored cordial) and mango juice topped with Marques de Gelid Brut Cava. Live Flamenco dancers also perform every Sunday!

HINT: They have been known to throw on your ipod if you have a worthy playlist!
