Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Brookline

Grabbed a quick lunch during a conference at a hotel down the street. I had alerted the restaurant in advance that I had limited time and they did an amazing job of making sure I could promptly order, receive my meal, and settle my bill. So grateful for that! I had the butternut squash ravioli and it was yummy- just wish it had more sage (partly a personal preference- I happen to love sage).

We had a great time at Josephine. Very excellent service and the food and wine were tasty. Great place for a date night or after work drinks.

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.

Our wait staff seemed in love with what they do, had an infectious brightness. Excellent food and drink recommendations. The ambience in the place is what I'd call very cozy. It's not that big, but bustling everywhere. Still, it's a vibe. Off in the background the bartenders are singing whatever 2000s pop song they're blasting at the moment. It's great carefree energy if you're up for it. Food was delicious and came out in perfect timing. Drink menu was extensive and not at all familiar for I think most Americans -- which I love! Give me something refreshingly different! They even gave us free shots with our check and kindly hoped we enjoyed ourselves and that they'd love to see us again. Restaurants like this deserve your business. When there's care and intent in every aspect of what they do, it's hard to not enjoy yourself. Will most certainly be back!

Pizza and salad were excellent. Restaurant was out of first two wines I tried to order. 🫤
