    For my birthday and that of a dear friend, we enjoyed a wonderful, leisurely lunch at NYAJ's in Waltham. Both of us were sent coupons for a discount. We used them individually and ate very well for a very nice price, with a generous tip to the waitress by each of us, based on the original bill.

    Two members of the party has the French toast and were quite satisfied. I had the ham & cheese omelet which was also quite satisfying. We also had the mimosas. The glass was a bit small but the drink itself was refreshing.

    Great ambience, excellent service, tasty dishes. Just wish the drinks weren't so expensive, or that they made them stronger to make it worth the price (bartender, if you're reading this, a heavy pour is greatly appreciated!)

    My wife and I enjoyed the NYAJ two can dine for $50 deal on a Tuesday. What a great deal. We got the bang bang shrimp appetizer, a salade, the meatloaf, and a slice of peanut butter thing to share. A great meal. Thank you NYAJ.

    We had a fabulous time. Our waitress could not have been sweeter. She was very attentive and we enjoyed our evening. As I recall, our waitress’s name was Janet!

    Since this was a Tuesday we opted for NYAJ's special dinner offer. You get one starter, 2 entrees and 1 desert for $50. You can also opt for one bottle of wine and 2 entrees for $50. We started with the tuna wontons, we both had the mustard chicken and shared the chocolate chip cookie a la mode for dessert. Of course we also had their focaccia bread with oil. Everything was delicious and plentiful. Service was excellent though the server was also dealing with a large table of at least 16 people in our section. Definitely a great meal at a great price :-)
