• Cheap Eats visits Trina’s Starlite Lounge, “the coolest place in town.” Good food, strong drinks, great service: what’s not to love? [Globe]

• Robert Nadeau gives two stars to Sofia: it’s not thrilling, but it’s competent with flashes (like the mac and cheese) of brilliance. [Phoenix]

• Devra First gives Bon Savor a deuce in a re-review:”This is a place that does not have pretensions. It’s not the kind of restaurant you go out of your way for - it’s the kind you eat at, regularly and gladly, in your own neck of the woods.” [Globe]

• The Dig has three stars for The Ginger Exchange. The location is prime and the food is healthy, if not innovative. [Dig]

• MC Slim JB checks out The Snack Bar and finds Portuguese treats alongside the standard sub shop fare. [Phoenix]

Bubor Cha Cha gets a C from Mat Schaffer. The food isn’t spicy enough and “service is sloppy - literally.” [Herald]
