    We returned to LaBrasa after many years away and hoped to relive the excellence we experienced before. To no avail. With the exception of a friendly greeting from Thomas we were underwhelmed and under-served the whole time. After ordering drinks, we were served a substitution for the wine requested without explanation or apology. Then things continued to decline. Our waiter acted entitled and aloof while failing to engage in genuine conversation at any time. He did not make eye contact with his guests at any time throughout the service. The bread we were served was neither fresh nor appetizing. It smelled like charcoal briquettes and petroleum fuel. The service was neither attentive nor helpful. Two of the four dishes we ordered were reminiscent of microwave heating with hot spots and bland flavor. As food was delivered it was not described but rather hastily placed on our table and forgotten. We had to wait an inordinate amount of time for service and left feeling neglected and unsatisfied. Like all good things, it seems La Brasa has run its course and has been left to die.

    One of the best restaurants in Boston, and really worth the trip into Easter Somerville. The menu is marvelous and interesting, changing with the seasons. Last summer I was practically addicted to the quail with rhubarb compote. Yesterday I tried the grilled lamb belly, which was unusual and delicious. The sides are great too. The service is considerate and friendly, and the spaciousness--high ceilings and and wall-to-wall windows--is really great. I love La Brass!
