Best of Boston

Service is best judged by the times when things go awry. Take, for example, a recent meal at this warm, boisterous Somerville restaurant and market, when a dining companion dropped a frosty highball cocktail and spilled it all over the table, the floor, and herself. In the mere seconds it took to clear away the damage, servers not only produced a replacement drink but also a Tide pen to remove the stains.
