"OK" Bar 'Cino Brookline: A Rushed Dining Experience with Hits and Misses My partner and I were excited to celebrate a special milestone at Bar 'Cino Brookline during Restaurant Week. While the evening had its moments, the overall experience left us feeling a bit underwhelmed. Service The service at Bar 'Cino was the biggest letdown of the night. It felt like they were rushing us through our meal, with entrees arriving mere moments after our appetizers. The pacing was so off that we wondered if they were microwaving our food! Part of the joy of dining out is savoring the experience, but it seemed like they just wanted to turn over our table. Things did settle down a bit after the entrees, but the initial rush left a sour taste. Decor Bar 'Cino's decor is a bright spot, with contemporary art adorning the walls and a sleek, centrally-located bar. The space feels modern and inviting, suitable for a variety of occasions, from family dinners to date nights. The ambiance is pleasant, but it couldn't quite make up for the rushed service. Food The food at Bar 'Cino was a mixed bag. We enjoyed the braised meatballs, but the grilled sweet potato was undercooked, with a hard center. The margherita grilled pizza boasted a super-thin crust, which was tasty but not particularly memorable. The bavette steak, while flavorful, suffered from uneven temperature, with cooler spots in the middle. The real standout was dessert the zabaglione and griddled olive oil pound cake was a delightful end to the meal. In Retrospect Our visit to Bar 'Cino Brookline during Restaurant Week was a roller coaster of highs and lows. While the food had its moments, the rushed service overshadowed the experience. The decor and ambiance were pleasant, but not enough to compensate for the pacing issues. If you're looking for a leisurely dining experience where you can savor each course, Bar 'Cino might not be the best choice. However, if you're in the mood for a quick bite with some hit-or-miss dishes, it could be worth a try. Final Verdict: - "OK" Bar 'Cino Brookline: A rushed dining experience that leaves you wanting more (time to enjoy your meal).

This was a pick-a-spot after brunch. For starters we were offered bread which was wrapped. For our main course we had the antipasti board and the prosciutto and fig bruschetta. Both were filling if you didn't want a full serving of food. Note the bruschetta is only a serving of 2. For drinks we opted for the paper tiger which was a tequila base drink. It was a refreshing drink that wasn't too sweet. We ended with the tiramisu, which wasn't the best I had but took care of the sweet craving I had to round out the meal.
