Best Restaurants for Creative Cuisine in Needham

A great night out! We had 5:45 reservations at the bar. We arrived 25 minutes early but were promptly seated. It was quite busy already! Our bartender/waiter made us feel welcome immediately. He was knowledgeable about the food and wine and had a great suggestion for a substitute for the Sauvignon Blanc that was not available. My husband made the observation that the staff all looked like they enjoyed their jobs. The food was over the top - perfectly prepared. Not one complaint. The attention to service and food, especially considering the pace at which everyone was working made for a perfect evening.

This was our first visit to the restaurant, but it won’t be our last! The food was great. We loved the vibe and the service was fantastic!!! We highly recommend the Suya beef appetizer and the very spicy plantains (can’t remember the name of the dish). Great wine and cocktails! There’s nothing wrong with this restaurant (though I a bit more salt on the short ribs would have been good) and we understand why it’s so difficult to get a reservation. But we’ll keep trying to get there again.

Gorgeous vibes and exemplary service matched the innovative and yummy food— which manages to be cozy and casual and highly elevated all at the same time. A perfect spot for a celebration or intimate dinner out. 10/10

Why Esr Anywhere Else?!? I always feel welcome at YNAJoe’s. Every meal that I, family & friends have had here or at their other locales, received a 5-star rating. Today’s Birthday Brunch was my gift to a lovely young woman. When she noted that the salad dressing was not to her taste, the waiter promptly and cheefully brought her a fresh plate of greens and lighter dressing on the side. My tuna tacos were light, crisp, colorfully presented & fresh. The crème brûlée was also perfect and tasty. Ah…another satisfying meal! I’ll be back soon!

Great food! We got there early (5:30) and it was empty but it filled up so fast! Curry’s were fantastic. I will definitely go bsvk
