Really nice and comfortable atmosphere. We both enjoyed our food and took advantage of the three course special offered from M- Thursday. It was a good deal! The food was delicious and the service was great. The owner even came over to greet us! Recommended for a date night or just drinks with friends!

I went with my mom to Premiere on Broadway located on 517 Broadway in Somerville, MA. This spot not only has great Italian dishes but also has trivia nights, bands, and DJs come throughout the week. For cocktails we got their “Grow a Pear” cocktail which had maple bourbon, spiced pear, honey, lemon and ginger soda. This was my mom’s personal favorite because she is a bourbon lover 9/10. We also got the margarita 9/10 which was my personal favorite and the espresso martini 9/10. These drinks were inexpensive and a delight! If you are just coming for a show and a drink-they definitely make it worth your while. For appetizers we had the house-made meatballs with whipped ricotta. They gave us two giant meatballs to split. I think the sauce/ricotta definitely makes this dish complete 7/10. We also got the autumn salad which had roasted squash, pomegranate seeds, and a house vinaigrette. We thought this was way too overdressed but still tasted good 5/10. Lastly, for appetizers, we got the clam chowder soup. I’m not even a big clam chowder fan and I really enjoyed the flavor of this 8/10. For entrees we had the sausage and broccoli rabe pasta. They do not skimp on the portions here. This dish was so filling and the sausage was cooked perfectly. I enjoyed it but thought it may of had a bit too much salt 7/10. For our other entree, we got the lobster ravioli. These were house made ravioli’s with giant pieces of lobster inside. This was definitely worth the $31 and was the star dish of the night 9/10. Next time I come back I would happily watch a show, get a drink, and maybe even try their chicken parm (cause that also looked delicious!). Food: 8/10 Affordability: 6/10 Ambiance: 9/10

Beautiful layout, with excellent cocktails, food & service. Went today, and we each got the burger, which was gluttonous and delicious. The fries were also amazing, as were the espresso martinis. We didn't get his name, but the bartender had a great personality and made the visit really enjoyable even though they were super busy.

The best brunch we have had in a while! The food was spot on. We had: - Chicken and waffles - the chicken crust had so much flavor and the inside was very juicy. The waffles were fluffy and crispy on the outside. - Premiere Benedict eggs - OMG… so good!!! The eggs were cooked to perfection. The ham was thinly sliced and the ratio to bread and eggs was 👌🏽. The pesto hollandaise sauce was to die for—I honestly want my Benedict eggs like this, always! - Cinnamon sugar donut - it was very fluffy and I don’t know if it was freshly made in house but it tasted like it was—it was warm when we got it. Highly recommend this place! Can’t wait to be back..

I visited Premiere on Broadway last night for their grand opening and was beyond impressed. Somerville needed a space like this and Premiere has absolutely delivered. The atmosphere is immaculate. It truly felt like a family gathering. The owners were making their rounds, checking on everyone and making sure people were happy. I appreciate that personable touch so much. The bar and dining area is gorgeous, decorated with inviting light and original art. And the bartenders know what they're doing. All the cocktails were created by the lead bartender especially for Premiere. My favorites were the Raspberry Beret and the Can't Elope. They were light, refreshing, and perfect for summer. We had the eggplant rollatini and the mozzarella board with prosciutto and arugula to start. The eggplant rollatini was hands down the best i've ever tasted. It was so crispy and delicious, and the addition of pine nuts and currants made it totally unique. You have to try this! For the main course, we tried the Potato Gnocchi, the Carbonara, and the Sausage Peppers Onions. Its hard to say which one was my favorite because each one was more exquisite than the last. The smoked ricotta in the Gnocchi was so decadent. This dish is a must-try. The Carbonara was the best i've ever tasted. The bucatini was so perfectly al dente; an absolute home-run in every way. I didn't want to stop eating. The house-made sausage had mozzarella cooked into the center- the absolute best surprise when I bit into it. Simply perfect. You can tell the food was made with the freshest ingredients, and plenty of love. I'm making it a goal to try everything on the menu. Towards the end of our evening, the live music started, and people were dancing and having a good time. It was so much fun, and so nice to see people enjoying life after a tough year. Premiere has all the allure of the North End, with the neighborhood vibe of Somerville, and entertainment that you'd typically have to go to downtown Boston to find. I'm so excited to have Premiere right down the street, and I can't wait to join them for dinner, sunday brunch, and more live music in the future. If you haven't made your reservation yet, what are you waiting for?

Excellent food! Great atmosphere. They always have some sort of entertainment on their stage, nice dance floor too. The bar is huge and the staff is very friendly and always on their toes. Great place for a special occasion. It's much larger than you would think from outside. They also have outside tables!

Give it a 3.5 stars. The ambiance was nice. Street meter parking spaces. We had a new female waitress serving our table. She was super nice, but we could see that she was nervous. She spilled water onto the table and got some of us wet. However, we didn't mind. She apologized for her mistake. I had the burger and it was really good. Double patties beef cooked perfectly medium rare. The fries were good but not crunchy enough. The pickles were, eh.. definitely recommended the burger. The waitress complimentary us with the tiramsu and cheesecake. The cheesecake was not good. It was soggy, no firmness at all. The tiramsu had too much coco powder. Service was good. Food came out quick. It does get busy on the weekend at night time.

I had a lot to say about this place. So much so, that I ran out of characters on here. For a place that's only been open a week I expected much better. The service was excellent! Except the bussers, if anything they were too quick to remove plates. We felt pressure to eat really quickly. The atmosphere was a cool concept but, it's over the top. Way to distracting and to brightly lit for any kind of romantic date night. The live entertainment was great but, it was loud. We sat as far away from the stage as possible and still had trouble communicating. The food was inconsistent at best. An AMAZING Kale Caesar Salad, was followed up with a Chicken Parm that was way overcooked, and a Carbonara that was well executed but, confusing. Who puts Irish bacon in an Italian classic like that? Dessert was a disappointment. Only 2 dessert options? The tiramisu was acceptable but not great. It's expensive and parking was tough, so overall I give it 3.5 stars, but we probably won't be back.

If you're looking to go here for brunch, all I have to say is do it. I've only come here for Sunday brunch but each time it's been so delicious! They also sometimes play live music or other activities. The first time I went it was a bingo brunch and the last time they had a live musician. They also have TVs so you can still catch a Sunday game while having your breakfast. A fun place to go for brunch with friends or family! Food: We had the ricotta pancakes, eggs benedict and Nashville fried chicken sandwich! The pancakes were very lightly sweet, I was expecting more flavor from them. The eggs Benedict was my favorite dish. The basil hollandaise just adds the perfect touch and the home fries have peppers and onions which I love. The Nashville chicken was also soooo lightly crispy and tender. It didn't feel super heavy at all and the pickles they make on the side are quite nice. The FRIES, omg a must. Service: The waitstaff here is so kind! They offer recommendations and are prompt. Even when we had a bit of a wait, she brought us a house-made donut on the house and it was so light and fluffy. Now I have to comment on the bathrooms. The bathroom itself, is an experience. So well decorated, CLEAN, and just very cute all together. They have a fairly large space in the back with a stage and piano which I assume is for dinner service. Would love to come back and experience the dinner here! If you're looking for a brunch spot in Somerville, check out this hidden gem!

I attended the Dining in the Dark event, a unique collaboration with Fever, and it was an interesting experience! This event typically takes place on a Wednesday or Thursday evening two or three times a month, with seatings at 6:00 or 8:30 PM. It features three menu options: meat, seafood, and vegetarian with each consisting of an appetizer, main course, and dessert. One of the most enjoyable aspects was trying to guess the dishes before their identities were revealed prior to the next course. The event is thoughtful about dietary needs, asking for any allergies before serving. It's worth noting that this is the only venue in Boston hosting such an event, making it a novel experience I'd recommend trying at least once. The blindfolds provided add a fun challenge as you'll have to figure out how to eat without relying on your vision. The drinks were a highlight for me; I tried their coquito, which tasted like a creamy, tropical piña colada. Unfortunately, the service left something to be desired. With only one server handling all the tables, it took quite a while to receive drinks and food. However, the MC kept the energy lively with jokes, crowd interactions, and the big reveals of the mystery dishes. While the concept is intriguing, I found the food to be just okay. I wish they had chosen more adventurous or distinctive menu items to elevate the experience. Overall, Dining in the Dark is a fun one-time outing, whether for a date night or a group event. The novelty makes it worth trying, but I don't think I'd do it again.

BY THE WAY, remember this review from 5 months ago? Just a reminder, do NOT go to Premier on Broadway. The way we were treated and spoken to was unacceptable. I do not know if this was an owner or manager but he was of spanish decent with the poorest attitude. Hopefully this place shuts down. "Ok we just ate there on July 13, 2024. The bartenders, the food and everything was great until we wanted to check out the stage part of the restaurant. They closed at 2am and the lights came on bright @ 1:45am. As we walked over to the stage, there was a short Hispanic guy wearing a black shirt I guess "sitting" at the bar stood up and said "it's time to go" to us. It is 1:58am, and there were atleast 15 people at the bar. You would think he's a manager, but he didn't look like he work there and he was sitting next to this white blonde woman that was a little heavy set long blonde hair. She was STARING the whole time. He said "get the f*** out of here" Kind of uncomfortable but it was our first time and wanted to see the place since I lived in Somerville for 5 years. I asked, "what did you say?" How can any restaurant employee cuss out a guest like that? I explained to him we just wanted to check out the stage for 2 minutes we never been here before and he folded his arms and goes "I understand" He also gave my boyfriend a "nod" and he said he felt weird after that. (Almost similar to the review on here about how the girl states the guy manager was staring at her boyfriend the whole time) I worked in the restaurant industry for 10+ years and never I have encountered any employee talking to me and my boyfriend this way. I just hope since I am a woman of color this situation was not blatantly out of racism or discrimination I'm praying it's not. I am not sure either of the people I described earlier in my review are regulars or they are friends with the bartenders but that behavior was unacceptable. I even saw workers from Big Belly Deli (on Broadway) that came into Premier and said hi to us because we there regulars too - I am just so confused as of why any employee will talk to anyone like that. Very disrespectful and sad to Somerville. Never coming back, ever."

Came to Premiere this past Sunday for an impromptu brunch with some friends. We did not have a reservation and as we came in the servers let us know that drag show was going on and asked us if we would like to go to it. We agree and it was fabulous! The show was incredible and so was the food! each one of us finished our plates no problem! all three of us also got drinks. The whiskey cafe was delicious and definitely had a good kick to it! All of their drinks definitely gave you your bang for your buck and we will absolutely be coming back.

Came to Boston for our anniversary weekend. This was our first stop when we arrived ! We had an amazing dinner here. Parking is a bit tough in this area, but once you find parking, rest assured it will be worth the hassle. The food, service, everything was wonderful here. We started off the night with arancini and white wine. For entrees, husband got the chicken and I got the lobster ravioli. Omg, the lobster ravioli was the best I've ever had!!!! Amazing!!! We finished off the night with tiramisu and macchiato. What a night!

Been here twice and the service is always amazing! The staff were very friendly and patient with our large birthday party. The owner greeted us and gave us free shots. The food is really good i had the spicy penne with chicken, lemon pepper wings and calamari. Came on a Saturday night and there was a live band.

Went here with my friends for the Dinner in the Dark experience. The staff was great. They had great attention to detail. a number of my friends had food allergies, so i was a bit nervous at first but the staff took such great precautions, and the chef made sure to verbally confirm every dish that came out had no allergens. such great customer service. the dishes were good too. very well seasoned. compliments to the chef. A couple of us were celebrating our birthdays, and they took time during dinner to have everyone sing Happy Birthday. Great experience. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

This block was formerly & infamously known as the cockblock due to 3 establishments that had names based around this funny theme - wang's (Chinese food), Pini's (pizza), and woody's (liquor store, still on this block). So when I found out that Premiere took over, I was skeptical. How could any restaurant take over my favorite place to get wonton soup and eliminate my favorite talking point about Magoun square?? Well, after giving Premiere a shot, I am impressed. Between 2 people, we over-ordered and we didn't finish everything, but everything was great. Cocktails were creative and not too sweet. I tried the cranberry cloud (Instagram friendly) and the ginger snap (tasted like Christmas). Food was good. The lobster ravioli did not skimp on the lobster. The ravioli was filled with big chunks of lobster and they topped the pasta with even more lobster. The crispy skin salmon was also great. Crispy skin is my favorite way to make salmon, so I'm pretty particular when it comes to the skin.. they did a nice job! Other things we tried were the meatballs & loaded tater tots. The space is well decorated, pop art decorations everywhere, looks like they have a dance floor in the back. And a large bar. I've seen events, live music, drag shows, 4-course predetermined menus promoted, so it seems like a fun place overall. Apps average around $15. Entrees between $20-30. Cocktails are also around $15.

Had a big family graduation dinner there last night. Buffalo chicken egg rolls and pepperoni arancini's to start, both delicious. I ordered chicken parm. They did pound down the chicken and prepared it perfectly. My only complaint is the sauce. As an Italian I never put sugar in my sauce. I get it, but this sauce had that too sweet tang to it. Personal opinion here only. Service was outstanding. Our server was polite, efficient and professional. I'd definitely recommend this place. Oh BTW they had a really cool band playing and I bet the place is jumping later on. Great location

Oh wow. How cool is this place?! The decor will capture your attention the minute you walk through the door. I love the large colorful paintings of celebrities both past & present on the walls. Not only is this a restaurant, but it's also a small live music venue!! My husband and I met some friends here for a double date on a random weeknight. We were served the unique house bread to start. It was thick and airy with mushrooms on it, which I loved. Then we ordered the arancini and meatballs for appetizers. Both were delicious but the arancini was my favorite; soft texture with a slight crunch and gooey cheese in the middle. For my entree, I ordered the chicken parm. Good lord, the portion size of the chicken was enormous and took up the whole plate. It was thin, crispy and delicious. They served the pasta on the side in a separate dish, which did not taste homemade (but that's ok!). My husband ordered the gnocchi and they ran out of whatever protein was supposed to come with it so instead they gave us another appetizer (for free!) to compensate - can you say amazing customer service?! We tried the whipped ricotta bruschetta and it was delicious! I've never had anything like it and I would definitely order it again. I can't wait to come back here when they have live music and try more items off the menu!

Great pick for a date, speaking from experience...I ordered a drink from the menu and wasn't too impressed by it (sorry, forgot the name), so I ordered a spicy margarita. Was happy they were able to make a classic drink and the waitress was very attentive and willing to make sure we enjoyed everything we ordered. My date and I both ordered the shrimp scampi which was nice and creamy. It did taste and smell very "fishy" but I think that speaks to the freshness of the meal? We were very surprised when our meal came out so quickly! I added black pepper because it was missing some spice. I also felt the menu was a bit pricey for both drinks and meals, so keep in mind that this won't be an inexpensive date. On this night they had a live band play. They played so many upbeat classic songs, tunes by Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, etc. I am unsure how often they invite a live band to play so I recommend reading online or giving them a call to time out your date perfectly. Just keep in mind where you're sitting as the band can get loud so it will be hard to chat across the table.

Grateful for a date with my sister after making reservations on a Friday night at 6 pm. By the time it hit 6:30, the establishment was pretty full. Hostess gave me a hard time about checking in for the Yelp Elite event and seemed annoyed that my name was not tracked on their printed list. However, our waitress made up for it by being spectacular and amiable throughout our meal. My sister and I shared their house bread and an order of mussels. The dipping oil was great and warm bread would have made it all the better. We demolished the mussels which came in a well seasoned broth and two slices of Texas toast style bread used for dipping. For entrees, my sister ordered the chicken Parmesan while I had the shrimp scampi. Both entrees had plenty of flavor served fresh from their kitchen, but I found that the pasta was a little too al dente from what I prefer. As leftovers heated up, I'm sure it won't be a problem by then. The lovely and accommodating owner Charlie and daughter came to greet our table. Along with providing us drinks, he offered both the tiramisu and pistachio cheesecake on the house. Personally, tiramisu was a little on the dry side but tasted good nonetheless. Pistachio cheese cake was subtle in taste and not overly sweet. Overall, wonderful experience and even better staff other than the not so welcoming hostess. Music was lively and decorations were one of a kind created by the owner and his son themselves. Bathrooms were also impeccably clean. Will absolutely return and highly recommend for those curious.

I am giving this a 4 star because it's a bar and restaurant combined so take that into consideration. Made reservations at 7pm and I was a part of Yelp Elite so we got VIP service. Ordered scallop special and premier chicken. They were generous and offered us an order of Archini balls as apps and it started the night off great. One of the best archini balls we've ever had and the sauce was *chefs kiss* they were a generous size too Scallops entree was 4 scallops but I thought they were quite small for only having 4 on the plate at a price point of $32. Delicious flavoring but not filling for sure. Premier chicken was good but nothing special. Very good portions though. Drinks were fantastic! Didn't skimp on the alcohol at all. Overall for a bar and restaurant, very good. Lots of tables and even a stage area but doesn't start until probably 9-9:30. The place starts to get crowded after 8 so be careful of your timing OH! Lastly cheesecake was phenomenal. Not house-made but one of the best I've ever had.

Tried premier on Broadway for both brunch and the Yelp event. This place is very very lively with a bunch of performances. It's has a great vibe! For breakfast we got the maple bacon donut, the French toast and the burger. The maple bacon donut was sweet and salty and super tasty!! The French toast was decent as well with French fruits. The burger was definitely our favorite with the meat cooked well and the runny yolk to give it another level of flavor and texture. The owner also came by our table to say hi and ask if we were enjoying our food which was very nice. Our server was very kind and gave a great suggestions. Would definitely recommend trying this place out!!

It's a huge spot. If you're looking to fit a big group, this is the place. The bar is huge and drinks are really yummy. Everyone who works there is kind. They do a great job with the burger and the meatballs especially. The owners host a wide variety of events there too, including drag brunches!

Came here for brunch with some friends on a Sunday. We had reservations but it really wasn't too crowded, at least when we went. It was super loud because they had their burlesque show brunch happening. Tickets for that are extra and you have to reserve ahead of time. Super cool vibes and atmosphere though. As for the food, I really enjoyed everything I tried. We started with a doughnut, and on the day we went they had maple bacon. It was so yummy!! Very fresh and a nice blend of the maple and bacon. Great start to the brunch! We then ordered the burger and ricotta pancakes for something savory and sweet. The burger was delicious, loved the egg on top and the presentation of it all on a wooden board. You don't get to choose the temperature of the meat, the waitress said it's just cooked well done. I thought it was fine! It's served with fries that were pretty good too. The ricotta pancakes were good but nothing spectacular. I almost wish there was an option to add fruit or something just to spice it up a bit. But overall I still enjoyed them and I'm glad we tried it. I would definitely come back here again either to try brunch with a show or for dinner. Atmosphere was cool, service was good, and the manager even came by at the end to check how everything went which I thought was nice!

I went on a Friday night and it was busy. The menu on the website was not updated, so I didn't order what I planned to. I got the butternut squash ravioli and it was delicious, since everything is good when drenched in brown butter. We got the adam's downfall, banana nut martini and figure it out and all drinks were great with my favorite being the banana nut martini. The bar did take awhile to bring out the second round of drinks as it got busier. Service was great, however we did have to ask for waters as we never got any before the cocktails arrived. There's street parking all around the area. A great addition to the area.

Came here after the gym to pick up my Yelp Elite treat at Premier on Broadway. I had never been here before and was pretty under dressed in my gym clothes, but luckily I was only picking up my order. I called 15 minutes in advance to place my order and by the time I got there my order was ready. I really enjoyed this dish! The chicken was yummy and topped with a sweet balsamic vinaigrette. The pasta was also tasty, but because I'm a cheese lover I added a ton of cheese to the mix.

Visited with a group on a Tuesday evening and was seated shortly. Venue is a very large space with many bar seats and tables, so it wasn't quite full. The celebrity theme is interesting, and goes along with the stage they have for live music. That night the performances weren't great, but I'd like to go back for good artists. Our server was excellent: on top of providing anything we might've needed for dinner and was perfectly friendly. I really liked his drink recommendations. Everyone in my group had different favorites for the entrees (as we all tried a bite of each dish). I enjoyed the smoky flavor in the gnocchi best, whereas others liked the chicken parm most. For apps, the ricotta bruschetta was the surprise favorite, but the arugula & prosciutto was good too. The calamari had the right crisp, but we thought the chili sauce was too sweet. Overall, great new place for groups to share plates and drinks.

Music venue? Friday night. No music even playing on the speakers. Very strange vibes. Was there for an hour could hear music coming out of the kitchen from the restaurant next door but no vibe inside. So weird.

The food is good. Love! However, the service... we ordered three dishes, meatballs came first, after like 10min, the scotch eggs came. After we finished the eggs, a waitress took away the plates, another scotch eggs come... we told the waiter we've had one already... Then, after we finished both eggs and the meatballs, the burger is still not ready yet. No one explains, until we complain. Understanding the kitchen is packed, so food is slower than usual, but if someone can come and say something, will be a better experience. Oh, btw, the table behind us, got the "manager" (not sure about the role) a couple of times, got free pancakes, free drinks. Curious what made us different. Again, the food was good, the waiter was friendly, but seems like the restaurant needs better management.

My husband and I came here for our Yelp Elite Event on a Thursday night which we realized once we got there was also St Patrick's day. The vibe was upscale bar/pub/live music/italian food, kinda mishmash of all. It seems that the ceiling to floor windows could open up and would make it perfect for those summer brunches. We were sat in the main dinning room right next to the area where the corporate event was happening with live music. The music was way too loud for our taste and we had a hard time having a conversation with each other as well as understanding what the server was saying. We were given complimentary oil and bread, the bread was nothing to write home about specially for an Italian restaurant. For appetizer, we ordered fries and Spinach Dip. Both were fantastic. The spinach dip was not overly cheesy, just the way I like it. The fries were great and are a good size portion. For mains, we were told that they will have a Vegetarian special but on that day they did not. So I ordered the Spinach & Cheese Ravioli. Although the flavor was good, the raviolis themselves were a bit too dense. My husband had the Premier Chicken. The chicken was dry. The pasta was cooked to perfection but could use some more basil as the flavor was pretty light. The quantity was pretty good and it is a heavy meal by itself. The food overall is a little over priced but it is a nice place to catch up with friends/colleagues over a drink and apps. Thank you Damien and Premiere on Broadway for hosting this event!

Their cocktails really stand out. The large bar area takes up most of the front area of the restaurant. This would be a great place to meet for drinks. The pasta was just OK, portions weren't overly large.

I had an awesome experience while at Premiere on Broadway. I came in for lunch on Sunday and I could easily find a parking spot right out front. They had a special Christmas menu, live music, the World Cup playing, and Santa. I ordered the Christmas Brisket and we had the French Toast for dessert. Both were so flavorful and filling. Our waitress told us they were short staff and apologized but I couldn't even tell since the service was still great. The owner of the restaurant also came up to our table to ask how everything was. Overall a great experience and tasty brunch!

Solid brunch, friendly staff, everything was delicious. Cocktail was a little watered down but still decent, and they were out of quite a few things on their menu. But overall, a nice joint and kid-frirndly too!

Premiere on Broadway is such a cool spot! As a local Somerville resident, I am always looking for solid local bars/restaurants. This place is great for dinner and drinks and they also have another room with a stage where they have live entertainment. Hollywood star décor and a spacious bar in the center with plenty of seats. They also offer outside seating that is covered in case it rains. I have been here a handful of times and have been pleased with every visit. My most recent visit was for a Sunday brunch. I went with the cheeseburger, and it came with French fries. OMG. Delicious! This burger is craveable! It is a double patty with American cheese and a house made sauce. The seeded bun is toasted, the patties are juicy smothered in melted American cheese, but crispy edges, and the sauce sets it off! The French fries were so crispy and a perfect portion with the burger. I had this burger 1 other time and have been thinking about it ever since. Usually, burgers are a very subpar choice and nothing special, but this one is far from it! Run here and definitely try the burger!

Came here for the "heels and mimosas" brunch and I wish I did not. From the moment we walked in I could tell it was going to be a shxt show but I still gave the benefit of the doubt. I purchased my tickets to this show weeks ago, actually was one of the first tickets sold and made sure I picked the perfect table for us (or so I thought) :.. I reserved the table closest to the stage and and the bathroom to avoid interrupting and being comfortable. When we arrived we walked into the room where the show was being held, because no one was at the front to check us in. (We didn't know their protocol since there's no directions online) we were then brought to a table that was along the wall, & would have one of the guests facing the wall and not the show. I inquired on why the table I paid for was already being used and not the table I purchased tickets for. She informed me that Eventbrite doesn't have their seating chart, although it was setup accordingly. She ended up sitting us on the left side and not the right side, so we had to constantly walk in between people to go to the bathroom or look for our food that took almost an hour and a half. I guess the party that was behind us was family of the person who was throwing the event, so they informed me it was the perfect seat because "you'll be able to see the whole show, we are family they never come over here " ... oh lucky us. Not interaction for a drag show ? Pointless We were given a sheet of paper as their menu, and not the menu we were expecting. The menu didn't include items that we were watching other patrons receive. So we asked our water Tony and he advised the drag brunch is only that menu and no exceptions, per what he was told. I requested a manager and he went to speak to them and came back and told me although others (don't look like me) are getting meals not listed on the menu provided, they cannot accommodate us. I advised I was just going to leave and he could close my tab out, because we chose this location due to the menu. Tony was very apologetic but advised he did ask and was told no. So I went to the front where we were supposed to check in, and requested the bill from "Kavaaz". She was very understanding and advised they were understaffed so it was hard to accommodate the entire menu, but she did make the exception for us. As she stated she wanted us to enjoy our experience, which I truly appreciated. Especially since our tickets were purchased before we got here I ordered water and breakfast potatoes asap because I was starving and had already been there about 30 minutes before we got anything. The wings weren't cooked well done as I requested, on either order. The spicy wings were not spicy, and the bbq sauce was nothing special. The steak was okay, the sauce underneath was definitely needed. We opted for truffle fries Instead of seasoned and that was a waste. The Amanda's meat burger, is the only reason this is getting 2 stars instead of 1. It literally saved me from starving to death because everything else was mediocre at best. Though the pickles on the plate were disgusting The mimosa tower is and isn't worth it. If there's a bunch of you perhaps but it's just a bottle of Prosecco topped off with orange juice. Depending on how you pour, may be cheaper than ordering individually. The breakfast potatoes were also very good The French toast was cold and we did not eat it, so I cannot comment on that. But it looked appetizing The service here was completely slow, and that may be due to staffing. Tony did everything he could, to try and make the experience better but this was not what I was expecting at all. The actual drag show, you're better off going else where. They lip sync the whole time. And there was even a child there participating, which made me feel very awkward with all the sexual innuendos etc. There was ONE woman who performed that was great. Won ms boston I believe. I believe she is also at Blend, and I think I'll give that one a try. The others were old and not giving what needed to be gave. Requested a refund on my tickets as my seats were not what I purchased nor the menu, but was unsuccessful. Not too sure if I'd be back to the restaurant because this brunch might've ruined it for me. Plus the menu items are overpriced for subpar food

After 3 years of engaging virtually, I got my team together to reconnect with a an incredibly fun and delicious night at Premiere on Broadway. Thank you Chef Kyle & team for a fun night of delicious Charcuterie & Pasta. We will be back!

The ambience of this restaurant is quite stunning and they also have a massive bar area which we prefer to sit at but this night, we choose a big comfy booth. Our waitress (Jess) was very nice and helpful with recommendations as we were deciding on the steak for 2 at $55, she recommended a wine that complimented the steak but it was going to be more expensive than we wanted to pay so we stayed with our original bottle order. The steak (which was recommended for 2), I could have eaten the whole thing by myself and it came with a few asparagus spears, I asked for bread on the side because I wanted a carb with the steak and feel for $55 it should have come with something - at least bread at the table. Never under estimate how much a woman can eat! When we were leaving, I wanted to use the ladies room as we don't live anywhere near this restaurant and there was a band playing and when i walked into the room a woman asked me for a pass or something and I said, I'm just using the ladies room. The band sounded great and that room was FULL so they must have a good following.

Fun place to go on a Friday night for live music and great food. Made reservations and there was plenty of street parking. Ordered the calamari, sausage peppers and onions, and tiramisu. All were awesome! Loved the seat that I had, was able to see people dancing and had a view of the stage.

Visited for the first time last night and my boyfriend and I had a great time! We ordered cocktails to start (Adam's Downfall and a special called The Partridge) and they were delicious. We had the fresh focaccia and garlic butter they brought to the table and it was flavorful. We also had the meatballs as an app and they were huge and had good flavor (just a little more dense than we would like). Loved the ricotta and sauce that came with the meatballs. I had the butternut squash ravioli and that was so filling and delicious (the crumbled biscotti cookie over the ravioli was a great touch). My boyfriend had the duck special and loved it (the duck was cooked perfectly to his liking including the crispy skin). The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive and the owner even stopped by to see how we were doing. The space is even larger than it looks from the outside. There is a large main dining area, huge bar with tons of seating, and a whole additional open back room for live music/performances. Loved the design/decoration and it seems there was a lot of thought put into it. We will definitely be back to check out more of the menu, cocktails, and live music!

Honestly my experience here was just ok. The vibe when you walk in is great, it feels very 'cool' and makes you want to sit and grab a drink. We sat down for a full meal and nothing really stuck out. The drinks were ok, very pricey. The calamari appetizer was by far our favorite dish - the sauce was amazing and I would happily order another one (unfortunately to save room for dinner/dessert we didn't). For dinner we tried the shrimp scampi and chicken parm...they were fine but lacked in overall flavor. Not worth the hefty prices of $24+ each. For dessert we split the pistachio cheesecake, and again it lacked in flavor. If my eyes were closed I wouldn't have known it was pistachio at all. A main highlight of our experience was the service - our server was so great with answering our questions and helping us decide what to order. She was so friendly and always checking on us throughout our meal. It feels like Premiere on Broadway is trying to be a north end restaurant outside of the area...I don't think they hit the mark just yet.

I heard a lot about Premier from friends so, I decided to make a reservation. When I called the girl that answered the phone was very helpful and professional. We arrived that night and our table was ready. Our server was outstanding knowledgeable professional and always with a smile. Dinner came out timely and it was amazing, I was told that Premier had a new chef and boy did they make a great choice. Cooked just like we ordered. One thing that really stood out was the very comfortable atmosphere. Its decor is very nice, and you can tell that a lot of pride went into renovating the place. When you go to a nice place your expectations are high mine were and just when I thought they did a very good job on all points, the owner Charlie came over and introduced himself and wanted to make sure everything was the way we asked for it. I could tell how appreciative Charlie was. He was kind and nice to speak to. 6 Stars Charlie, great job! We will be back plenty. Thank you very much

Showed up to Premiere on a snowy Friday night, wasn't expecting a crowd but there were enough folks in the place to feel the vibe. I like the space, particularly the standing ledge for patrons who want to enjoy the bar without the crowding. The booth seating was nice and deep just like I like it! I reserved with OpenTable and checked in as a Yelp Elite. They do read the reservation comments, ha! We were seated upon arrival and greeted by our server Ashley. She was attentive, smiley and kind. We appreciated her service! We started with the spinach dip appetizer (3.5/5), it was smaller than I'd hoped and sort-of tasty but wasn't a seasoned dip. Chef Kyle (edited to include name) brought to our table a wonderful appetizer he's working on. It was a tender slice of pork rolled in herbs atop a tasty red sauce. If he brings it to the menu it will definitely be 5 stars! Worth asking for if you go! Our entrees were both the Premiere chicken (4/5) and the shrimp scampi (2/5). I liked the premiere chicken the most, generally it had versatile flavors and the chicken was fried nicely. However, it was a dryer meal with the noodles and the balsamic and arugula on top didn't mesh well. The shrimp scampi had so much noodle, half decent saucing and very few shrimp with the tails on. The drinks were the better part of the night. I had the pistachio Martini (5/5) and really loved it. The cranberry cloud (4/5) was good and light! My boyfriend had the black Manhattan to which he gave a 4 and the Figure it Out a 3.5. The entire staff seemed pleased with their work and each other. We met an incredible greeting host, waiter and chef. We saw the owner, who greeted the table next to us. He didn't stop by to say Hi but I would have loved to have shared my experience in person.

Came here for the Yelp event, but ordered some things outside of THAT menu. I got a bruschetta, which is like a PB&J sandwich except it's ricotta and fig-honey. They do have a dessert menu, but that's on a separate sheet and I went with the chocolate cake. It was very satisfying after I finally finished my Hot Toddy (hot cocktail). Joe was helpful in explaining what it was and I liked how it was just strong enough for me. My favorite would be Cranberry Cloud, it was nicely sweet and fruity. Main dish was shrimp scampi and there was a good amount of shrimp and I liked the balance of the garlic in the pasta. Overall, it was a fun experience, chatted with the greeter and Joe and got a good idea of what Premiere has to offer. Bonus: I came on superheroes night, so I got the pleasure of watching cartoons on TV instead boring sports!

Came in at 6:30pm for pick up. Staff was friendly and helpful. Wait about 15 minutes for my shrimp scampi. It was package very nice. Presentation was great. It tasted amazing. Would come back

Came here expecting a moderate quality meal with my girlfriend and a couple of friends. Decent layout, a band was playing on their stage which was nice. Ambiance was exceptionally bland. Nothing to write home about. Oh, almost forgot about the mural. Gaudy and pretty sad to look at. Would be kinda bummed if I had to live in those new condos it's attached to and have to look at it every day. Wasn't particularly busy but staff were running around like chickens with their heads cut off and food took over 45 minutes to get to us. We all got pasta plates and were quite disappointed with the quality. The red sauce was Chef Boyardee quality -- not exaggerating -- for greater than 20 dollars per plate. Dessert was pretty awful which was expected, not even sure why we ordered after tasting the main course. Got the check, they charged us for more than what we ordered and had to get it resolved. Two tables over a similar issue appeared to be happening... very interesting. For the price we paid we could have gone to a real restaurant with interesting and exciting food. Instead we got this. EDIT: Received a message (presumably from somebody who works for the place) claiming this review is fake. Now attached a photo of one of their middling appetizers.

Food was phenomenal from the apps to the main course and dessert. I could see the amount of attention that went into every dish. I was not expecting it and the owner even came over to check in on us, which personally I take as a sign that he's a man invested in the happiness of his customers. I'm a regular now and have yet to be disappointed

Pasta dish was not cooked properly. When you pasta is under cooked. No thank you. I need al dente, not all dentures. Sheesh!!! But their band room entertainment are is pretty fly! Except they have poles on the stage. Horrible. Pay to reinforce the ceiling and dump the poles!

If you're a foodie, you would not be impressed by the food here. I had the shrimp scampi, average at best. However, the live music part seems promising. I didn't catch a show but it is a big restaurant with a stage where you can go for some live music. Don't go in here expecting a gourmet meal.

Jacob R.

I did food take out from here and left. Had a shrimp scampi that was mediocre AT BEST. I would highly recommend not ordering this unless you want extremely oily, sopping wet noodles with under-cooked shrimp. Quantity was less than average. Really disappointing food. The environment inside is what seemed to be the biggest attraction with a few lights, the bar, and very very loud music. They advertise themselves as Somerville's hottest new bar, so I'm sure they'll get some good business for a bit but honestly, unless their food offerings get better, the vibes are not worth it. Avoid this place unless you're desperate or love vibez.

I was planning on dining in but street parking was not easy so took out instead. I went the day before St Patty's day, so it was decorated with all kinds of green and shamrocks. I noticed inside there was a band in the back for a private corporate event, which may explain the lack of street parking. The band was very loud, I'm not sure how it was enjoyable for the other patrons dining in. I got the shrimp scampi, it was good but not knock your socks off. It needed a little more salt and a little lemon to brighten the dish. I was pleasantly surprised there was a fair amount of shrimp, usually I am disappointed by the amount. Seemed like a cool indoor dining experience if I could've found parking.

Came here with neighbors a few months ago on neighborhood night when all food was 50% off, and I still think we paid too much for the quality of food we got. Server was nice but service itself was slow - I think the kitchen was overwhelmed. It took over an hour after getting our appetizers to get our dinner. We split a few appetizers, which were fine. For the main course, I got the gnocchi, which was drowning in butter and the only thing I could taste was the smoked mozzarella. My husband got the chicken parm, one of his favorite dishes, and unfortunately he said it tasted like rubber and jarred sauce. My neighbor got a pasta and ribs dish, and she said the ribs were extremely dry. We decided to try the dessert sampler, which was just a bunch of typical frozen desserts from Restaurant Depot. Skip it. The live music was a nice touch, if too loud at times. I hope they've worked out the kinks since we visited, but I would not return. Tasteless and overpriced.

Premiere on Broadway is my new favorite place in Somerville! The food, service, ambiance was A+! I reserved a table for 7 at 8:30pm and we were sat immediately in the back room. It was a lively atmosphere with live music, dancing, and everyone enjoying themselves. I believe Dennis Taylor was performing and he was amazing! Around 9:30, DJ Lipo played music. As I write this review, I'm smiling because I had a lot of fun. The food was also delicious. I ordered the lobster ravioli and I was surprised with how fresh the lobster was and the ravioli was stuffed! We ordered arancini (4 in a plate) and buffalo egg rolls. I can't stress how happy everyone was with their meal.

Yesterday I went to Premiere for Sunday Brunch so I had to leave another review!! It was only their fourth brunch since opening so I want to help get the word it because WOW it was amazing. Not only did they have live music going on, but they also had all the windows open making for a beautiful, relaxing atmosphere. Every Sunday they have a different house-made donut special, so we started with one of those (paired with cocktails, of course). It was a pineapple upside down cake donut! I'm a huge donut fan and am pretty judgemental about them, and I must say, the chef NAILED IT. The interior was light and fluffy, and the outside had a crispy, cinnamon sugar shell. Seriously delicious. We also had a house made biscuit that was outstanding. The texture was like a biscuit/croissant hybrid and was so buttery and flakey. We loved it. For the main course I had the Fried Mortadella Egg Sandwich that came with the CRISPIEST and most delicious home fries EVER. They were tossed with peppers and onions and it was the perfect marriage of texture and flavor. And don't even get me started on that sandwich!!! It was absolutely delicious. The thick cut fried mortadella was so tasty, and the sandwich actually had two fried eggs and a slice of american cheese on each half of the bun. It was gooey, buttery, and just phenomenal. Once again, the owners came by to check on us, as did the chef. Our server (I think her name was Madison), was just as sweet as can be. I absolutely cannot wait to come back, and again, i'm just so thrilled to have this establishment right down the street.
