"We decided to go to 50 Warren before going to a show at Lowell Memorial Auditorium. We had never been there before. We arrived early to allow for plenty of time before the 8 pm show. Good thing! It took about 45 minutes for our food to come out. So instead of having a relaxing meal before the show, we ended up rushing through our meal. Although the food was fine, the extremely long wait time ruined the experience for us. We were not the only ones either, in speaking with other diners, they also had extremely long wait times. I would not go back."

"We had the opportunity to experience 50 Warren for Easter Brunch. We loved it so much that we decided to visit again before visiting the Merrimack Repertory theatre. Although there are mixed reviews for dinner, our experience was terrific. We were greeted and led to our table immediately. Our server was friendly and very attentive. While the menu was not large, there was diversity in the food. Our dinners were cooked as requested and were very tasty. We will return"

"Thank you for asking for our opinion. Please feel free to forward to the restaurantWe were attending a conference. The restaurant was very convenient. We had the opportunity to pre select our lunch so that was nice also. We got there and were asked to line up so we would be given our food and then we were welcomed to go sit down."

"Upon arrival, we waited several minutes for the hostess to show up. Then we waited at least 5 minutes for the waitress to greet us, even though there was only 1 other table of diners. We then learned that the hostess was also the waitress and the bartender! Our glasses of wine took 20 minutes to arrive, and our food (cheeseburgers) required another 30 minutes. At this point we had also asked the manager(?-he never introduced himself) to check on our meals. He said that they hadn't been expecting many diners that night (Wednesday) so only had the 1 server. We suggested that he consult the schedule at the Auditorium or Merrimack Rep when staffing his restaurant. We received a cursory apology for the delay."

"It's good, not great. There was no one there when we first got there but the UML student/do-it-all restaurant worker was very good. The food is well priced and above average. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the wonderful city of Lowell."

"sorry to sy our first time eating there was very nice we were the only people in the resturant, service was great and food very good. However the next time, made 6:15 resevation so we could get to lowell auditorium for 8pm concert. Seated immediately but by 7;45 had only recieved drinks app and salad had to leave without entrees.They were all very apologetic and cleared our bill so no hard feelings but do hope they will do some changes in staffing when they fore see another busy night.The location is perfect can walk right over to the auditorium."

"Quiet spot just off the main street in Lowell. Food is excellent and the staff is very nice. Great place for quiet dinner for 2. We were a little concerned as the restaurant is actually a part of UMass Lowell - but our concerns were quickly put to rest - prices were very reasonable and the food was very very good. We'd recommend 50 Warren for a nice night out or just a casual dinner."

"Good Food, Good Service, and right in the Heart of Downtown Lowell. The outside Dinning is a great spot, located right next to the canal. They also have live entertainment every Friday which is a huge plus, as well as specialty dinners every month. The amount of change that this Restaurant has undergone is amazing. Great Job over there! I will absolutely be returning!"

"Found this restaurant on line while researching area for eateries to visit before a nearby concert. I was pleasantly surprised at the looks of the restaurant and it's affordability of the menu. Pretty diverse, but not overloaded menu. Food was very good, but the service was outstanding! Everyone was very friendly and attentive, and it made for a great dinner. I would definitely go back again, and would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant. I don't usually write reviews for restaurants I visit, but I felt complelled to do so with this particular establishment."
