Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Winchester

My wife and I reserved the recommended two weeks ahead of time. I was not able to find the exact time we wanted (6 PM) but we were able to accommodate the 8:15. We showed up a little early. Everyone was great. Food was awesome. My wife had the pasta and scallops. I had the rare dish, wild hare. We shared the affogato. All of it excellent!

My second visit to Smith and Wollensky, first time at their Burlington, MA location. Saw they had Wagyu beef offerings so made reservations for dinner. Got the Swinging Tomahawk and was very happy with the experience. It was a very good steak. On the high end of the cost spectrum, but it was a good time. It was plenty for the two of us along with a side of spinach. We took the rib bone and remaining food home. The car smelled really nice for the ride home and even the next morning. Service was excellent and all in all a great dinner experience. Planning to go back for more steak!

This was our first time, and we loved the atmosphere, the food and the service. Arriving at 6PM on a Monday we got a table for three at the window, expecting a "quiet" dinner but the restaurant soon filled with several larger parties, no doubt because of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. It got a little noisy, but not enough to distract from a nice evening with a great meal and service. Gluten free options were available, and there was nothing left on anyone's plate when we were leaving.

We always get oysters and the salmon tartare. From there we order a couple of additional dishes to share. This evening we had the redfish ceviche and it was truly next level. Chef Isaac was kind enough to speak with us about the best fishes to use in ceviche and share some helpful suggestions for preparation at home. We have just about mastered the beet salad; but, honestly, it’s always better here at Row 34 in Burlington MA. The staff are all professional and friendly. A special shout out to the shuckers!

Our group of 4 started with the seasonal board which was delicious but did not come with enough toast. We were able to order more for an up charge. The burgers and sandwiches were huge and impossible to finish but were so good. Our waitress was attentive throughout. I would eat here again if I was in the area.
