We were excited to try this place after my friend learned about this spot on social media and lives fairly close by.
Unfortunately, we found the overall experience to be disappointing.
The service was lacking, not friendly and just not what I want out of a server.
We all shared a coffee rubbed yam appetizer which was good, but not AMAZING.
My friend and I split the half chicken and the mushroom stroganoff. The chicken was nothing special, no unique honey flavor or anything to write home about. The mushroom stroganoff had some good garlicky flavor but had very tough tofu that wasn’t enjoyable - and I order tofu quite regularly. A Thai place will do worlds better.
Lastly, we ended with the carrot cake and chocolate torte to share among four of us. I’ve almost never met a dessert that I didn’t like, but had only one bite of the carrot cake. It was too apple forward and mushy. The chocolate torte was rich and good. No notes there.
I will say overall we all enjoyed our cocktails so the bar is doing something right, but this place could use a lot of improvement.

The food and service are absolutely incredible! Everything tastes unbelievably fresh, from the tomatoes and lettuce to the chicken, steak, and ribs, you can truly taste the quality in every bite. The owner and staff were so welcoming, and the atmosphere is both cozy and romantic. I can’t say enough great things about this place! Highly recommend!

I had high hopes for the restaurant but it was an unpleasant experience. It seemed like we were an annoyance to the server. Like he would rather us not be there. The food was also very underwhelming. A disappointing experience.

Incredible service and very impressed by our meals! The bolognese and mahi mahi were outstanding. So happy to have found this quality of restaurant in Dedham and can’t wait to come back for the Wednesday wine pairing night!

Out of the blue you sometimes find a hidden gem. Few & Far is that kind of restaurant. There are no white table cloths, no expensive silverware, but the passion of the team is in the plates. Delicate, refined, inventive, and affordable. That is the kind of kitchen that is worth the detour… IYKYK. Add to this the crew friendliness, the owner simplicity. They are about sharing and it shows. One thing that I will never share though: the ribs. Don’t come anywhere near my plate! Oh and if you want to try some exotic wines, Stan is here to guide you. Success and good fortune to this restaurant!

I had an incredible meal featuring the crispy pork ribs and flatbread—hands down the best ribs I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. The flatbread was a great complement and added just the right texture to the dish.
I also tried the cheeseburger, and it was just as impressive—juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients.
One thing that really stood out beyond the food was the atmosphere. The owner is extremely personable and actively present, creating a welcoming and genuine vibe that makes the dining experience even better. Highly recommend this spot for anyone who appreciates great food and warm, attentive service.

Good atmosphere, good decoration. But food is terrible, super salty, the saltiest food I have ever had. It’s amazing they collect so many good ingredients that could have been made into delicious dishes, but were into random things that taste bitter, and abysmally salty. They charge a high price that’s typically on par with upscale restaurants, but the food is worth 1/3 the set price. Service was absent. They missed one of my dishes, and never mentioned why. They didn’t charge the missed one, and I didn’t ask because it’s a big relief I didn’t have to eat the terrible food again.
We go to the small plate and wine pairings on Wednesday nights. We are impressed every time.

Such a local gem! We decided to try this restaurant because it is on the InKind app. I am glad that we checked it out! Four of us shared 4 small dishes, 2 larger dishes, and 2 desserts. Each one of them surprised us in different ways: they are not only delicious but also innovative combination of different culinary styles. I would go back and try every single dishes on the menu. My personal favorites: halloumi cheese, chocolate cake.

I ordered take out on Sunday evening. I opted for the fried chicken. Unfortunately, the chicken was not just undercooked, it was raw. I posted the pictures with this review. I’m appalled. This is so unacceptable. I’ll never be back.
I'm not someone that normally thinks to even write a review, so getting me to do that speaks for itself. We went last weekend and every aspect was phenomenal. The food was great, service was great, vibe was great. We sampled a few apps, got entrees, and dessert. The fried chicken was an absolute standout (I've had it all over the country, this is one of the best I've ever had), and the Chocolate Dessert was also A+++++. The menu may seem intimidating to your average diner because it's not just your standard fare with standard ingredients, but put a little bit of trust in their corner, they will not lead you astray. Price as mentioned by others was on the higher end but absolutely worth it for what you get. We are already planning our next trip back.
