New American Restaurants near Boylston, MA

“I want to make some suggestions rather than saying I do or don’t recommend this place. I’m familiar with Pepper’s, and I like to support hard-working chefs, especially when they use local farms and vendors. The overall concept of self-service is fine, but I preferred the table service of the old restaurant. It felt a little more closed in, and I also don’t like the paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. Real utensils were available, though. The salad choices looked really healthy and colorful, and the menu was certainly varied enough. I saw a frittata being served and it was the size of a half piece of pie, though it looked good. My friends and I opted for soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, thinking they would be more like upscale comfort food. Two of us had the bacon-tomato version, the other had the mushroom. Since they were pre-made, then popped in a convection oven, they were more like melted cheese on dry, light toast, versus the buttery, golden goodness that makes a grilled cheese what its name implies. The portion was small and the fillings meager. If the idea was to make it a healthier grilled cheese, even a drizzle of olive oil might help. The soup was luke-warm, but tasty enough. We shared a dessert bar, which was delicious, with black coffee, which didn’t taste fresh like it had ben sitting a while. Be forewarned that if you pay by credit card, an automatic 15 percent tip is added, though you have the option to change it up or down, if you happen to notice it. There wasn’t much service involved, and you clear your own table. My portion alone, which included the sandwich with chips, a cup of soup, dessert bar, and coffee, plus added tip came to just under twenty dollars. I would give it another shot, but there is room for improvement. We all agreed that the dining experience was at a grade of about C+. Wishing you success in the future... Hope this helps.“

“I took my bestie here tonight and had the ABSOLUTE best time!!! The food was amazing (we both use the gluten free menu!!!) the atmosphere was so wonderful and the service was just so beyond!!! Amara was truly one of the BEST servers I’ve ever had-so very kind and attentive and helpful with making everything so perfect and then I believe her name was Camille-came to let us stay longer allowing our wonderful Amara to go home-something I thought was just so very thoughtful & kind-our family has been in the food industry for years and these ladies along with the manager were among the very best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! 100% will be back and I give this my highest recommendation!!!“

“Attended bridal shower and it was perfect from beginning to end. Everyone complemented the food, service was excellent and all flowed so smoothly. Will be back to try out the restaurant!“

“My wife and I just left Logan’s table and I have to tell you it was one of the best dinners we’ve had in a long time. I had the Ahi tuna meal and it was one of the best Ahi’s I’ve ever had my wife had the shrimp and scallop genovese and she loved it We will definitely be back great job by all and the service was also great“

“We have visited 4/5 times and have never been disappointed. Once you walk in the door, you feel at home. Food is delicious and deserts are scrumptious.“

“The personal service is as amazing as the food!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I found myself in Worcester yesterday and searched for vegan food online and found Belmont Vegetarian among others listed. After seeing several pictures of dishes I decided to go! And I’m glad I did! Belmont Vegetarian (where everything is vegan) was delicious and in heaping portions. There’s a smaller (but still big) container for only $17 and change and a giant container (which I obviously got) for $19 and change. I got BBQ, mac n cheese, rice , beans, and chickpeas, and some sweet n sour steak. They also make their own delicious juice with sea moss. I got watermelon. The place is set up for takeout mostly with only 2 dining tables.Definitely worth the drive from NH!“

“Milford - First time in, did not love what I ordered and not only was it taken off our bill, but the manager gave us a $25 gift card to come back…that’s excellent customer service which impressed us. Flatbread was excellent, waitress was very kind and attentive and lots of local teens working which was really nice to see. Can’t wait to come back! ❤️“

“We had a great time here. 3 Adults, 2 kids and a baby all enjoyed the food (from bread to bread pudding, interesting flavors and well made).
Service was kind and attentive.

Kid-friendliness: No printed kids menu but they had chicken tenders and pasta dishes!“

“My wife and I had tried to come here once before but it was so busy we couldn’t get in! We finally got to try it and it was worth the wait. The drinks and food were excellent and the bar staff were very kind. I’d recommend trying to make a reservation for weekends, but we had no issue getting in on a Thursday night.“

“Absolutely the best N. Y. Sirloin I have ever tasted. It was thick, tender and favorable, served with a chicken-of-the-woods reduction that was perfectly paired with the steak. Reservations are recommended and the place was full within the first hour of operation. It can be a little noisy, but that's to be expected for an restaurant that is as popular as Romaine's. Service was adequate and attentive for the Saturday night crowd“

“There is an amazing vibe at this place! I love it there ❤️“

“Always fantastic food in very special old New England building with wonderful interior, lighting and terrace. If you’re looking for a special setting for a special meal this is unbeatable in the area.

My recommendation is to do a wine tasting before 5.30pm when that closes, to decide your favorite wine, then go to dinner and order a bottle.“

“Excellent service and delicious food“

“Food is always great and staff is very friendly and polite.“

“Excellent lunch this Saturday.“

“went for Dinner last night and had the Sausage penne pasta in Vodka Sauce and The Pulled Pork Dinner, They never Disappoint. The Apple Gongazola Salad also Amazing.“

“Try the Chicharrones, the Mofungo Platter, the Empanadas, my wife loves the rice and beans. Always good, always warm, always fast. Its addictive!“

“We tried Columbia Tavern on a whim last night and the food was amazing! We had the nacho appetizer to start and everything was SO FRESH! I had the Honey Siraracha Chicken tenders and a Clam Chowder for my meal, both were to die for! My better half had the Columbia Burger- and this guy knows his burgers he grew up at a Black Angus cattle farm in Vermont-and he LOVED his burger. Atmosphere, staff, and vibes were all great, we even went back for brunch the next morning all the way from Westminster! Couldn't recommend this place enough. PS- personally preferred their food over Logan's Table.“

“martini's are on point! & the music makes you want to dance!“

“The rib eye is the best! Best wait staff. Ashley is going to get her PhD. Typical of so many of the servers. Our favorite. Ordered the ribeye. My other favorite: Seafood Savannah Pie. Basically a seafood medley casserole. ?

Parking: In White City, so plenty of parking.“

“muy buena comida buen servicio muy recomendado“

“I was staying at the Beechwood hotel and stopped by Sonoma early in the morning looking for coffee. Gigi greeted me with a smile and assured me I’d love theirs. It was incredible- dark, rich, and so smooth without a hint of bitterness! I seriously could not wait for the next morning- for both the coffee and getting to chat with Gigi again! I’ll be back when we are next in Worcester- hopefully to dine at Sonoma as well.“

“Visited Oli’s Italian Eatery today Sunday October 20th, 2024 with sister-in-laws and a cousin. Arrived for noon, seated in back, the restaurant was clean and spotless. We all ordered something different, Haddock Fish Tacos (there were four) Baked Haddock with Rice Pilaf, Shrimp Scampi with Linguine and Seafood Saute & Angel Hair. All meals were served hot and in large portions. We took home and our waitress was very pleasant. Support your local small restaurants and I give this dining experience five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️.“

“We usually sit at the bar and get immediate service. The bartender last night even remember us from a few months ago. She remembered what we drank. My sister ordered the same as last time and I ordered a slightly dirty Tito’s martini with a special request for bleu cheese stuffed olives. They were perfection! We both ordered the ahi tuna with avocado and jasmine rice. Omg it was to die for. I can’t wait to go back and order it again. I wish I could remember the bartender’s name so I could give her a shout out!!! All it says in the receipt is server: PM.“

“Atmosphere is very busy and loud, but good food makes up for it! I might suggest steering away from the nachos if you like meat in yours, or requesting extra meat as it is quite sparse. The Korean Gochujang chicken sandwich was absolutely incredible! Crispy, bursting with flavor, and absolutely huge. The rosemary fries pair very well with it.“

“El ambiente y partidos en vivo la atención“

“I’m a Worcester native but now live in RI. I’m so proud coming back home and seeing all the changes. The mercantile building itself and concept is fabulous however all depends where you sit. We were first flood in the middle which was not the best. I recommend top floors or by the window. Love the key chain that donates to local charities . We came for my frisks birthday and I told the server this - server didn’t even say happy birthday nor was their cake or anything brought out. Pretty cheap for a place like this. We each got margaritas- the cocktails have way too many sugary ingredients first sign that drinks aren’t well made. I asked for drinks to be made a specific way and they accommodated . The food was very good pickle pizza to die for!!! The server asked if I would leave some e yea so she could have it??? Very shocking. The staff all looked miserable and are not welcoming. Overall the mercantile missed the mark. Step it up with better staff and a more experienced mixologist!“

“Awesome food and experience. Our waitress Celina was amazing very fun helpful and full of smiles.“

“* NOT RECOMMENDED* FB changed my review to recommended and, thus, positive. read below. What started as a simple date night ended up with us never, ever wanting to step foot into The Flying Rhino again. We had never gone into the establishment and decided to give it a try. It wasn't too busy and were taken to a table quickly. Our server came, jovially took our drink order, and a few minutes later came back with our drinks. That was the last time the we had her come to our table. We waited and waited...there were plenty of staff (three hostesses that we could see and a few servers) for a place with empty tables on a Saturday night. My wife was getting angsty and I called for patience (mine was also wearing thin). After 30 minutes and when I saw the table behind my wife gets their orders (arriving 15 minutes after us) before our server even bothered to take ours, I had enough. We went to one of the Hostesses and asked for our check, saying that our server never came to take our orders. Instead of even showing concern, they happily said "Okay!". We waited another 10 minutes for us to get change for our cash payout because "the manager has to approve the cashout and has to open the register" WHAT?!? Since when did a member of the waitstaff not have access to a register? Our "server" even came with the change and, with not even an apology, said "thank you!". The hostess, one of three, said as we were leaving "have a great night!"...no apology, no offer for a comped drink, nothing...just a dismissal after not even providing proper service. I am absolutely astonished that this establishment, which has been open for "22 years" has such high ratings. The service is abhorrent and careless, and we were treated as though we weren't even worthwhile. Thank goodness for Greater Good Brewing Company for saving a crappy experience with their superior service with less waitstaff and busier establishment.“

“Stopped in tonight on our way through town and absolutely loved it! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great and the service was amazing! Very quick to wait on us and make sure that we were taken care of. Will definitely stop back in again when we are down this way again!“

“Longer than average wait time but it was at lunchtime so I expect that.“

“Great food, friendly staff“
