milan marzilli
wow. totally blown away. i’ve been here just for drinks before but so glad i ate. of course, the milano sour was quite literally the best drink i’ve ever had. so creative and fun!! and delicious. and my tuna poke plate was equal parts beautiful and yummy. they were playing fun 2010s music and the staff was all wearing themed outfits which was adorable. i can’t wait to come back and try dessert next time! and the late night menu!!

Drinks were great, seated right away and server checked in a few times. My issue was the food, actually gross lol we got the nachos which was the fake cheese, I’m not a fan but I could live if it wasn’t COLD and lumped on. Even my friend who will practically eat anything thought it was gross. Otherwise nice place, maybe try the pizza or something

We had probably our best brunch ever (no kidding) at jm Curley. We found another restaurant nearby by doing a Google search for “brunch,” but the line was crazy so we found jmC just half a block away. It didn’t show up on the brunch search and that’s a shame. The fried pickles as an appetizer were amazing – light tempura-style batter that didn’t overwhelm the slightly sweet thinly-sliced pickles and the sauce complemented it well. The chicken and waffle bowl was AMAZING – great, unique take on this brunch classic. Such a great combination of flavors! The tuna poke was delicately flavored and perfectly prepared, though it didn’t need as many wontons. Service was friendly and attentive, and the prices were excellent for the high quality food we received. Highly recommended!

Had an excellent dinner here! I was surprised it was so packed on a Thursday night, so I’m glad I made a reservation. I thought the salad and burger were excellent, but the spinach and artichoke dip was phenomenal. Definitely would go back! I also liked my cocktail which had elderflower and vodka in it.

You can’t any get better than this place. THE BEST BURGER IN BOSTON BY FAR. The heaven hill burger is something else. Good beer, good vibe. Sit at the bar, enjoy your beer/food and have some chat. This is Boston in just one bar.

I’m not sure how I’ve never come across this place before but I’m glad I did! I was in search of a good burger – this place came up and did not disappoint! The atmosphere is great, service was fast and really friendly! I got beer but the cocktails looked SO good, I definitely want to go back to try one. I got the Curley Burger and it was so good! The fries were also delicious and they gave a good amount! My server was great, very friendly and welcoming. My only small complaint is I didn’t get sauce on the burger and asked for a side of BBQ and got charged $1, I know it’s only a $1 but if I’m paying $21 for a burger with no sauce you’d think I could get a side of sauce at no charge. This however does not stop me from giving the place 5 stars or from wanting to return to try a cocktail and one of their other dishes!

Great location. Fantastic ambiance with that rustic brick look. I ordered the grilled brussel sprouts which was amazing with the perfect peanut crunch. I also got the curly burger with regular fries
Whole the burger could use more salt and spices, it was good with the crunchy pickles and sesame bun. Service was great and attentive. Will come again.

Made a reservation for a Friday night at 10pm for 2 people as we were visiting from out of town and this place looked amazing online. When we arrived there was already a group of 5 people waiting for their table to be ready. We checked in at 9:50pm and were told our table wasn’t ready yet, no big deal because we were early.
Almost 30 minutes go by while having to constantly shuffle around the main entrance to avoid being run into by staff members and other patrons. There is really no designated waiting area and we were trying to shove 7 people there. We have also received no updates on our table and the group waiting before us had now complained. They were able to be sat a few minutes later. We overheard that their reservation was for 9:45pm and they were sat around 10:20pm. After they were sat, we were told that our table was almost ready. We finally sat down at 10:30pm. Making a reservation is a must because other groups entered and were told there would be a 2 hour wait, but even having a reservation still means a long standing wait in a cramped area. Wasn’t the most comfortable experience.
We sat and our drinks and appetizer orders were taken quickly and brought out to us fast, within 10 minutes. The waitress checked on us once at the beginning while we were all set. We ate our fried pickles which were great and sipped our drinks for a while before trying to flag her down because we had still not ordered our main dish yet. We were able to get her attention and ordered at 11pm, a full hour after our reservation slot. Again, once the order was in we got our food quickly. We were able to eat at 11:15pm. Our waitress checked on us once when our food arrived and once a bit later. There was a lull and we again had to get her attention to get the check. As we waited for our check, our water glasses were refilled for the first time after our glasses being empty for over 30 minutes. At this point the restaurant was still fairly busy, but emptier than when we arrived with it being around 11:30pm. Slow service was somewhat understandable, but still disappointing.
I would also like to point out that their menu online is not up to date with pricing. This was another shock and disappointment, and seems much more avoidable. Items seemed to be anywhere from $1-$5 more expensive, which might not be a ton of money but is definitely something to note and can add up quick for larger parties. I have attached pictures for accurate pricing as of 12/6/24.
Overall, the food, atmosphere, and time between ordering and receiving was fantastic. However, the conflicting menu and slow service definitely negatively affected our experience. Making a reservation for 2 at 10pm and not getting out until around 11:40pm is not what we expected at all.

Where do I begin? The expresso Martini that was made on 9/11 around midnight was probably the best I had to date! So good I had to come back the next day to be sure I wasn’t losing it.
I also had their food and it was good for the post part. I had the popcorn chicken with fries 8/10
Buffalo wings 6.8/10 the batter was a bit much it took away the concept of a good wing.
Overall, This was a place I could get a decent meal and drink before midnight.
