Tried this for breakfast and found good service and seating capacity. However, we thought that the food, while decent, was overpriced. Metered parking is available though spots could be difficult to find if it’s very busy.

The Dining Car is fantastic! This is a great local spot in Newton Highlands. The food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable, too. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

Little to complain about, really. Excellent sandwich, good cookie, and soda for lunch. It took a while for the sandwich to be ready. Only surprise was the price: $25+ seems a little high. But maybe that's what things cost these days, 2023.
