Restaurant Review: Ashmont Grill

Just transferring a couple of things off the laptop.

Quick review: Ashmont Grill, right next to the Ashmost T station in Dorchester. Nice room - good design, lots of warm woods and exposed brick. Friendly, if more than a little slow, service. Trainwreck fries were tasty. My pork loin was perfectly cooked. Good crunchy brussel sprouts roasted with pine nuts. Friend's burger was overcooked but a good piece of ground beef. Everything comes a la carte so you order sides with entrees - the prices are a little high, given that, in my opinion. But overall a tasty restaurant and a welcome addition to the neighborhood. If you go, be aware that google maps isn't a good tool for finding it. Call and get directions from the restaurant. There's at least two Freeport Streets along the way.

I pretty much agree with you about the Ashmont Grill. Excellent food, prices that are slightly on the high side, and service that can be a bit slow, but friendly and efficient for the most part. I love everything on the menu, except for perhaps the pulled pork sandwich. I was going to place them on my Web site (a site about hidden restaurants), but it has become too well-known for the site, which is a good thing for them!

I hope they continue to do well. It is just one of many good restaurants in Dorchester these days...
