He gives high grades to industrious new Dorchester restaurant
By adamg on Sat, 07/22/2017 - 9:33am
Larry Davidson likes the Industry, a new higher-end restaurant at 750 Adams St. with features more typically found downtown or along the waterfront, such as valet parking and a "nitrogen fueled draft beer system" - although he says he's going to keep the Ashmont Grill as his primary go-to Dot restaurant.
Well, there was one small problem with the menu. Usually when I go to a new restaurant I find two or three entrees I really want to order, which makes it a relatively easy choice. But at The Industry I wanted to order everything on the list of entrees!

May I add
Been there half dozen times. LOVE IT!!!!!.
great food and help. Great addition to my neighborhood.
Molinaries italian, Blasis are 2 other's I would say are a must
More Molinari's tables!
It'll be nice when Molinari's expands into the space next door and has more tables.
No thanks on Blasi's
Not after reading all the vile "anti-yuppie" crap he's posted on the South Boston community facebook page.
website
I'll definitely check the place out but the pictures on their website look like they were taken with a phone. (Check the Lunch, Dinner and Brunch pages.)
Eesh!
Spend some money on a food photographer and keep those phone pics to your Instagram page.
"diver scallops"
Whenever I see "diver scallops" on a menu, I assume BS. A diver scallop, as the name suggests, means it was harvested by a human diver. 99% of scallops are harvested using a dredge. It's much cheaper that way, but more environmentally destructive.
A little pricey for Adams Corner?
$14 "Haute" Dog, $20 cheese plate appetizer, $59 Ribeye, $185 bottle of wine? More like NYC prices than Dorchester. A hot dog is still $1 across the street at the Eire. I wish them luck but wonder what happens when the novelty wears off.
I was recently in a semi high end restaurant not far from here, open about a year. Packed during the first month but this time, three managers, four bartenders, six servers and about ten kitchen staff to serve six customers. With all of the new restaurants in this neighborhood combined with the old, established ones, I wonder if there are enough people to support them all.
They seem to be doing fine
Adams corner has a lot of new residents and many of the longtime residents seem to like the new places too. Also, these restaurants aren't just drawing from Adams Corner. Lots of people from other parts of Dorchester, Milton and Quincy (and beyond) are checking them out too. Kind of like how the Rozzie square restaurants have done quite well even though people thought they were "pricey" for the square way back when.
Does it matter
To pricey for Adams corner?
Like we don't deserve a good higher than usually priced establishment.
2 families 6 to 800k. 5 room condos 5 and up.
Screw you we deserve the best regardless of price
But best doesn't necessarily
But best doesn't necessarily mean the highest price. Compare this directly to places downtown it's still pretty high for like items. I'm all for bringing awesome restaurants into the neighborhoods (i.e. steel n rye right near here), and I hope they do well. I just wonder how sustainable this is.
Eh
I feel the same way about Steel and Rye - downtown prices for... Milton. Food is good/OK, but, I don't see the justification of it. I have been to Industry a few times now - and I would say the prices are spot on for the food and quality of food.
O-FISH-L translator:
(to be read in Grandpa Simpson's voice)
"I don't like things this way! I like things the way they used to be!"
When he was..,
A crossing guard in Manila or was it a passport stamper at Readan or...am I confused - was it when he captured the Boston Stranler or maybe it the time he solved the Lindeberg kid napping - it also could have been when he uncovered the key evidence for the Brinks Robbery - or was it when he located the missing Steward Gardner Museum paintings - oh that's right - they haven't recovered them yet - well we are going to have wait on that until he gets them back.
"Manilla"
He never gets the spelling right.
Thanks for sharing your opinion with me
I'll contact the Oxford Dictionary folks and let them know they are wrong as well because they are spelling it MANILA
You missed it
The spelling error is intentional because Fish-head has repeatedly spouted off about his experience with The Boston Globe call center when he supposedly cancelled his subscription after the fake Trump front page and he rants about being connected to the call center in "Manilla" when he does so.
So?
No one really seems to care about your opinion, but, what was that "semi-high end" restaurant close to there? Every place in Adams Corner and over in Lower Mills are jam packed all the time, so I do wonder about this mystery restaurant. BTW, 40-60$ steak is a reasonable price for a good steak regardless of where the restaurant is.
The "$40 steak"
There is a steak entree that is somewhere around $25 there and the burger is around $15. They do have a surf and turf which is a whole lobster and filet mignon that is over $40 and a big hunk of high end prime rib that is nearly $60 but those are hardly representative of their menu as a whole. So yes, there are some pricey things there but there is a reason for those prices and most of the menu is comparable to other places in the area. Fish-head comparing a half-pound all beef frank that is made on the premises and served on a hefty roll to a nitrate laden weenie with a white bread bun is laughable at best and pathetic at worst.
Dbar
Is way better and cheaper.

Used to be a favorite of ours, but it has gotten much too noisy. It's hard to enjoy a meal when it comes with a pounding headache.
