Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Watertown

A gem of a hotel restaurant packed into Harvard Square. Bright, open, concept with enough room between tables that it is easy to talk. Nice menu. Good food, and good service. Was surprised that the ‘roasted Brussel Sprouts’ were uncooked, because everything else was good.

Lunch today was a positive experience from being greeted at the welcoming station through the meal. Alberto Petricca is a great host and Allejandro as always is friendly and very reliable and attentive. The food was fine and the ambiance on the second floor is above the average -very lovely, quiet but not without vitality. It was a business lunch and by placing us in a corner table, they were sensitive for the need for some privacy. The price was appropriate. I'll go back for either business or pleasure.

Last minute booking on a Monday night, friend in town who I haven't seen since before the pandemic. Our waiter Kristen was very patient with us as we were talking a lot and not paying much attention to the menu! We ordered some appetizers, entrees, dessert - everything was delicious. It was a little noisy but it was a surprisingly full house for a Monday night. Only real complaint was it was very warm in the restaurant.

I propose an alternative venue to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The service and ambiance are exceptional. However, I’m disappointed with the quality of the ribeye steak I ordered. Although I usually enjoy steak for dinner, this time’s ribeye didn’t meet the expectations of a Prime-grade cut. It was more like a Choice grade.

Absolutely amazing food but sadly less-than-amazing service.
