Yelp.com Review - by Shawn M.

1.0 of 5 stars. Having lived in Dot for 15 years we have been here a few times. Each time we would give it another chance or I guess forget the bad and go back. Lots of liquor helps you through a bad meal I guess.…

2.0 of 5 stars. 224 is so cute from the outside. A true oasis in an odd sort of area. The seating outside looked pleasant but was full. They put us in the area near the open kitchen and the AC was blasting. I…

4.0 of 5 stars. When Cafe Polonia couldn't seat us we defaulted to this place down the street. Making the trek from Allston to Dorchester, my roommate and I teased our friends as we acted scared to be in these parts,…

2.0 of 5 stars. We ventured here (just a few blocks from home) recently with high hopes. The place is cute, sort of upscale casual (though more casual than upscale). The 'upscale' came from the prices only, we…
