“A taste of Paris located inside the heart of Newton. Not bad! The lamination on the croissants were amazing, and not greasy or overly heavy as some tend to be. The variety of treats is overwhelming (in a good way!) but nonetheless a great spot to go to. Just a little crowded at busy times.”
“just ordered takeout and the food is delicious. I’m eating the shrimp fried rice as I review this and it could not be better. Our new favorite sushi place in Newton.”
“I can't say enough good things about Select. The staff was warm and welcoming and our server John especially was attentive, skilled, and friendly. There were 11 people in our party and everyone had a wonderful time. Food was fabulous. Thank you!”
“The Tall Man and I were looking for a low key hangout with baby in tow, and Distraction Brewing was the perfect place. This new-to-us brewery on the cute pedestrian-only Birch St. had an outdoor patio but we opted for seats inside.It's not a big place, but it has a good number of tables and bench seating in a brightly lit space. The Tall Man got the autumn flight of 4 beers (one being one of their maltinis), which he enjoyed for their variety. I wasn't up for imbibing so I got a Health-Aid kombucha from the fridge. (They also carry Athlete's nonalcoholic beer in cans.) They have some packaged snacks for purchase, but they encourage people to get food from local businesses to eat there. It was pretty darn convenient to pick up lunch from nearby Chilacates. It made for a very chill lunch and sip. We weren't even the only ones with a stroller! It was a relief to find a brewery that's not utterly mobbed and where we could bring the little one. I would definitely come back for another relaxing hangout.”
“Came as a group of nine on a Thursday evening with a reservation for 8:30pm. We sat at a long high-top table and ended up ordering as groups of four and five people to make splitting food easier.My group of four split a charcuterie board and two pizzas, the Salsiccia and Margherita. I personally don't eat a lot of cheese outside of pizza so I only ate the pizzas, meats, and the complimentary bread. I preferred the Margherita pizza, but both had great texture and flavors. We ended up getting a refill on our bread at some point as well.They have a large drink selection, and I opted for the Sippin' Easy non-alcoholic drink. It was super tasty and I would've happily ordered a second.Our server was friendly and patient as our group of nine was all over the place with deciding what we wanted.I personally wouldn't choose to come back just because I'm not a huge charcuterie person, but I'll say this is a good spot for hanging out with friends or family, or even for date night.”
“They were so so so so so so so kind.Even though I don't speak English,They took great care to ensure that guests had a pleasant meal. The food is also very delicious.I searched on Google Maps and found it to be a local restaurant.I stopped by on purpose while taking a walk toward Harvard University. They said it was a local restaurant, so even though we went right at the 9 o'clock opening time, there was a wait quickly.I was alone, so I sat right at the bar.I highly recommend it to others!A place where nothing is missing!!I felt like tips were something to give in places like this.I am a tourist, and I think Luna Cafe will be my impression of Boston!! ^^”
“Service was Fantastic! We were very well taken care of, and everything we ate was absolutely delicious. While I'm not in a position financially to go here regularly, I'm very glad I set the money aside to have an excellent dinner.”
“Absolutely excellent meal with an excellent team. Starting with the amazing bread and butter and a ln orange creamsicle (adult version of a childhood favorite). Then the broccoli salad with poached egg (poached expertly creating a creamy sauce). I had the fusilli broccoli- home made pasta dressed beautifully. My husband had the chick pea stew - whole chick peas made this his favorite. Finished with delicious double chocolate chip cookies. Can’t wait to go back!”
“First time at Tonino. Chitarra (spaghetti variation) with clams was tasty, with a generous portion of clams. Eggplant ricotta pizza was also good. Pizza bianca was similar to focaccia -- basically bread -- with dips, not toppings. Caponata dip was fine. Trevisano (radicchio) salad was skimpy with an unremarkable dressing. We didn't try desserts. The small space is attractive but crowded, with tables cheek by jowl. Long wait for the pasta and pizza.”
“Went there for the oysters buck a shuck. They had a great deal on a dozen fresh oysters, 3 samples of their delicious seveche and a nice bottle of white wine for $50. Excellent customer service. Our waiter Ramon was super nice. Worth it. Highly recommended!!! We will definitely come back again.”
“Very good overall. Food was interesting and mostly delicious, but heavy on the vinegar/acid, which wore out our palates. Music volume was ok — we were able to converse without yelling - a nice change from recent experiences at other restaurants. (Suggest you moderate the thumping bass though — it sermed get louder as the evening progressed!) Liked the ambiance and pace of the meal. Staff and service was outstanding.”
“Another outstanding evening at Bar Mezzana. This time we chose their “Roman Trattoria” prix fixe experience, which was not only delicious — served with thoughtfulness and friendly enthusiasm — but thoroughly satisfying. (They kindly accommodated a substitution due to a dietary issue.) I think because we had a later reservation on the last night, we were the beneficiaries of open bottles of wine that needed drinking. No complaints! Consistently one of Boston's best.”
“What an innovative and cool concept - cinema + coffee. The coffee is off the charts here - from the selection of beans, to the roasting on site, to the brewing. It’s all science, and they nail it here. Baked goods are exquisite, and the service is unparalleled. You won’t find a better coffee shop in boston.”
“Outstanding food. Excellent service. Noise level was wonderful so that we could comfortably sit and chat - which is a rare gift in dining out. Lovely ambiance. We will gladly return and highly recommend”
“I haven’t even eaten there yet, but the service I received over the phone today was top notch. I simply called to check the value of a gift card, and the gentleman who answered the phone could not have been more kind and helpful. Can’t wait to have dinner! Thank you for such amazing hospitality, Oleana!”

“Legit moved every bit of my meal! From the brown butter lobster roll to the delicious crudo. My only beef is the 5% admin fee already added! When I asked about it they said: “it’s to distributed to our non-tipped staff in the form of increased wages.” Why I am responsible for paying your employees a better wage?! Shouldn’t that be left to the owners/management?!”
“We were visiting from Toronto and dined at your restaurant on Sunday night. The ambience was amazing, food was delicious and your staff, I mean wow they were just amazing. We were seated at the bar and the bartender was so courteous and sweet. She did a great job in providing recommendations. Your Hostess welcomed us and provided us seats at the bar even though we didn't have any reservations. She even came to check on us at the bar on how was our overall experience. This is truly 5 star service, big shout out to your team!!!!”
“The lobster is very fresh and delicious~ especially when dipped in butter, it goes straight to heaven. You can also order the soup! But it may be sold out, so you can go earlier!”
“Could be my favorite place in the world. Are you bookish, social, hungry? Lehrhaus is an amazing combo of lively house of study, cocktail bar, and restaurant with contemporary creative dishes. Attend a class, eat at the rail, meet your friends in the lounge, bring your little ones for a meal. It's all there in one place and the hospitality is top-notch.”
“Friendly staff with a good range of cocktails. Kiran suggests some amazing drinks to try. Unfortunately i couldn't eat anything from here as the grill was closed, but none the less, a 5 star rating for the staff and the range of drinks.”
“Went for Saturday night dinner. Very quick service. Good mocktail options. Got the buffalo chicken pizza and mushroom rigatoni and shared both; still went home with some delicious leftovers. The mini cannoli trio was fresh and tasty, too.”
“Great food, service and atmosphere. There were six in our party and we had a nice roomy booth. Great cocktails and amazing whiskey selection. Everything was delicious.”
“I’ve been meaning to come here and I’m so glad we finally did! The tasting menu was outstanding and reasonably priced. We especially enjoyed the miso braised cabbage and crispy short rib. Grab a seat by the kitchen counter, if you can!”
“This place rocks. A diner atmosphere with stellar food and huge portions. I had the wheat pancakes with eggs and home fries. And the other reviews are not messing around - the cream of wheat is undefeated.”
“Wow, loved it. Came here for a belated Valentine's dinner. The service was excellent. Food was amazing and the wine was solid. I recommend the cabbage, the celeriac and the yams! Our cashew tart dessert with chocolate gelato (?) was also lovely. Thanks for a great experience!”
“The food is excellent. The wait staff helpful and attentive. The space is warm if a bit cramped. Our only complaint is that the restaurant opened its doors to a long line of walk-ins whom they seated first ahead of people (like us) with reservations. We had a 5:30 reservation and arrived early. The hostess apologized while seating us that there weren't any menus left to give us when we were seated. Then, after our waitress enticed us to order one of the sfizi specials, she came back to tell us that they were already sold out because the walk-ins at the bar had grabbed them all up. Wouldn't it make sense to seat those with reservations first?”
“Very good food, pretty portions. They are small so if there are two of you, order at least 4 plates! :) If You're a group of 4, you'll probably get to taste the whole menu. To me, main dishes selection was way better than the desserts. In the desserts section, everything seemed to be either chocolate based or ice cream. I wish there were more vegetarian options in the main menu, but I have to admit that the fish dishes were perfect, so if you're a pescetarian, you're good here. Love love love the atmosphere, the candles, the plants!”
“Comfort Kitchen is the best restaurant I’ve been to in at least a year.. We got the duck, okra, jackfruit sliders, pistachio ice cream, and eggplant couscous. Every dish blew our socks off — I especially love how they elevated okra with the plating and preparation.”
“I went for dinner last night with my friends and it was a nice cozy place, the food was good, when we asked to make it spicy they were able to do that, the drinks were good, they can improve a little bit on their service, but we had a good time hanging out, so can’t ”
