New American Restaurants near Lexington, MA

“Everything was great staff was helpful and nice. We had an air conditioner problem they upgraded us to another room. Helpful on check out with complementary coffee and water.“

“The best meal- great service- Beautiful atmosphere And warm friendly hostess“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“Incredible food at the Chef’s Table. Amazing coordination between staff in a small space. Very friendly and accommodating. Probably the best meal I have ever had and I didn’t choose any of the courses!“

“Delicious and safe dining experience- the food was unbelievably fresh and creative. All servers went out of their way to be attentive and friendly- the mulled wine was the perfect beverage on this chilly afternoon! We brought blankets- and used them!“

“Had an amazing experience at June Bug! The vibe of the location is cute and unique. The food was amazing we got the verde pizza and the pepperoni pizza both were cooked perfectly and the kitchen sink salad was addicting. I loved that they had NA drink options. The waitstaff was really kind and friendly. I said on the reservation that I have an egg allergy and the hostess handed me a menu when I got there that marked down which items had eggs and which were safe for me to eat. NEVER HAS THAT HAPPENED FOR ME. Omg I was so excited and relieved since I hate having to ask a million questions about what the menu items are so this was so sweet and I really appreciated it. I wished all restaurants did this, I def will return!“

“We had a business dinner and everything was great. Food and service were excellent. We especially liked the dessert options and format - just enough but not too much. This was not my first visit to Seasons 52, but it was my first time are the Chestnut Hill location. Seasons 52 is always a good choice, it has something for everyone. Look forward to the next visit Great job by all, thank you!“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“Here’s a revieWe had a decent meal at The Abby. The food itself was good, but we had a small issue with the salad. I had asked to substitute the fries for a salad, and while I appreciated the option, it came already dressed. I personally liked the dressing, but I usually prefer my salads without it, and would have appreciated being asked. Unfortunately, my partner didn’t like the dressing at all and ended up not eating her salad. A small thing, but it would’ve made a difference if they had checked with us first.“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Great food and drink!“

“Second time here. It was better than the first time around! We enjoyed many dishes but the venison and the dessert pasta with their wine pairings were big standouts. The music playlist is to die for as well! A great, special evening on a restaurant that felt a whole step above from our previous time.“

“Beware: NO DECAF COFFEE! We were a group of 4 for brunch. The food was very good and we appreciated the atmosphere and the convenient location. There was only one person working the room and the place got quite busy, which meant we needed to wait every time we asked for something (like a water refill and the order of bacon he forgot). That part was somewhat frustrating (only because we needed to get somewhere right after, so we were watching the clock), but as the bartender/waiter explained, the busy period is brief, so it doesn't make sense to have additional staff. Something that needs to be said because it was so unexpected and unusual: NO DECAF COFFEE!!! Someone in our group enjoys coffee but can't have caffeine, so that was a big disappointment as she was expecting to have coffee with her brunch, as one would normally expect with breakfast food. I wrote this at the start of this review to convey this to people who may not feel like reading this whole review. I'd go back if I was in the neighborhood, but I'm a caffeine addict, so the beverage offerings were not a problem for me, lol.“

“Food and service were outstanding (way better than a year or two ago). Ambiance is somehow slightly lacking. Could use a warm it up decor update but we had a great meal. All four in our group care a lot about good food and all agreed it was excellent. Don't be overly influenced by how much they suggest you order. We are hearty eaters and ordered considerably less than they suggested and felt it was perfect.“

“This restaurant is dope. The interior is warm and inviting. It’s modern and chic. Definitely an elevated hipster vibe. A chill spot to hang out after work or nice date night. The food is bomb! For apps, I’ve never had a Chinese-inspired arancini. These crispy delights are addicting with their crack sauce. The sauce is a must have on the arancini. The salad is light and refreshing. The Kokoda is a well made dish. I never had blue fin tuna until I came here. The combo with the fresh fish with the acidity from the lemon juice and smooth finish of coconut sauce - oof, worth a try. There’s also another surprise about the Kokoda - there’s something called sea grapes 🍇 and were bursting of flavor and freshness. A nice addition to the dish. I could go for seconds with the Kokoda because it’s a bit small for me. I wish they made it 2x bigger so it could be more shareable with a date or with company. The Maine Uni was surprisingly delicious 😋. I honestly thought it was too expensive but after having it, it was an amazing amuse bouche (the perfect bite). I couldn’t believe that small bite packed so much flavor and complexity. It was balanced and left me feeling happy. Totally worth it. For mains, the pork belly adobo melts in your mouth. So good! The mushroom raviolis are my favorite out of this menu. The salted duck egg sauce is what makes this dish memorable. I would definitely eat this again. The bitter melon ratatouille is not my favorite because it wasn’t seasoned enough for me. It felt as though it was missing salt. The veggies were perfectly roasted though, but it didn’t quite smack like the other dishes. The ribeye is good, but not my favorite. I might be biased because I’ve had better at other places. For desserts, the pandan sorbet is tasty. I’m not a fan of the pandan taste. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but I enjoyed it because I love avocados and bananas and in ice cream form? No brainer. I wished they had a version without the pandan flavoring. I’m curious as to how it would taste then. The matcha cheesecake is surprisingly well-balanced. Not too matcha where it’s overbearing. The matcha is subtle while the richness of the cheesecake smacks just right and not overly sugary. The late night menu - I only tried the Chicharrón taco 🌮. The combo of crispy pork belly and the acidity from the lime is perf. Nothing else to say. Surprisingly really filling. I probably can’t have more than 2 of these tacos and I’m a pretty big guy. The drinks - I love the names and how they have a play on words. The blood orange and the banana espresso are my favorite. These drinks have enough booze and not too much where it’s offensive. Blood orange is enjoyable to drink and the banana espresso is complex with a chocolate finish. Their nice, clean cocktails. Service was awesome! The servers were friendly and quick. They regularly checked in with my wife and me. I don’t think I even had to do the awkward “please help us” lean at all. They were there when you needed them! Amazing 5 star service! You want a culinary experience. This place won’t disappoint.“

“I've gone to this Revival location for coffee often and have had bites at the bar - but this was my first dinner! Andres was a fabulous server, he was a delight and made our experience so special. and the entire service team was kind and attentive. The food was lovely and classic with creative hints that elevated the standard offering. Really glad we stopped in! We'll be back :)“

“Omg YardHouse…… Every time I come to this place-
it’s like the food gets better and better. I ordered the Whiskey Glazed Burger and it was delicious, Sabrina was our waiter that day. She is super sweet and understanding when I experienced a small interruption from my burger.

Then we had Noah and he was very kind in suggesting what new meal to order off the menu. That night I had the best 12o. NY Steak; chef’s kiss. Yall are the bomb!“

“Excellent Steak Frites, Faroe Island Salmon, Wild Boar Bolognese, an Ultimate Burger, and Truffle Fries. Check out their Valentine's Day Menu.“

“The food is delicious and the drinks are soooo good. Especially the Salted Caramel Spiked Iced drink.“

“My bartender this night was Zack. He was intuitive and an informative bartender who brings atmosphere to those around him. The decor is colorful and inviting. Modern lighting, not to bright, but not too dark. Almost a space like atmosphere. Clean, tidy and top notch. The menu is inviting with many choices. Appetizers, meals and even desert...try the Ruben it is mouth watering! Also if Damian is working the kitchen that night your going to end up with the most flavorful meal. He is a master of his skills. I highly recommend the food, drinks and atmosphere.“

“Discovered A&H by accident and were thrilled! Great location, warm and friendly vibe, nice lighting and sound levels, gracious team, prompt service, smiles everywhere, wide menu choices, delicious food, and a good value. We will be back!!“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“We recently stayed in Newton for a mini vacation from Canada (visiting Boston). Every night of our stay we ate at this restaurant. I know, not overly adventurous but when the food is this good and the atmosphere is right, why bother looking? You won’t find better! We tried: - Pan seared chicken: AMAZING. - Fish and chips: when you live on the east coast it’s hard to get good fish and chips but these hit the mark! - Filet Mignon: Full of flavour and tender. - Steak Tips: Again, tender and full of flavour. - Risotto: Wonderfully strong mushroom flavour but yet offset with a field of flavours. - Scallops: Seared to perfection. - Short-rib Meatballs: Meat and cheese combo to die for. - Calamari: Another difficult one to get right and find fresh! This was one of my favourite with the dip and hot peppers. - Sirloin: Cooked to perfection, flavour was a hit and a good portion size, well worth the money. THE HOUSE SALAD: All I can say, EMAIL ME THE RECIPE FOR THE DRESSING!! This was the best item for me on the menu. Fresh, simple and full of flavour. I got it with every meal. So to recap: 10/10“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“We had a wonderful experience and have returned a few times. All of our dishes were tasty except for the ninebark salad. It was delicious although for the price they were extremely skimpy with the lettuce, and I finished my salad and watched everyone else enjoy their dishes. If you charge that price point for a salad I believe you should be generous with the foundation of the dish which is lettuce.“

“One of my all time favorite spots in Somerville never had a bad meal. Great vibe and service always suggests it as one of the top spots in Somerville.“
