50 Best Wine Bars near Newton

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Quality ingredients. A sublime attention to detail. Balance in salty, umami and heat. The broccoli Caesar is a must have along with the homemade ricotta. I sat at Chefs counter and got wonderful attention from everyone. Amazing!“

“I love the wine and food but the service provided here has been so special the two times I've gone! My first time the bartenders chatted with us and were hilarious the entire time. The second our server was amazing and educational and patient, as we had limited knowledge of wines. They even ran after me through the street when I left a flower I'd been carrying behind! So sweet. I don't know your name but thank you to the first wine slinger pictured on the website!“

“Dinner at Frenchie Bistro last night was outstanding from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the kind of neighborhood spot that feels both sophisticated and comfortable. Our server, Sophia, provided exceptional service, attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely friendly. She made the evening feel special. The food was superb. The lamb chops were tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The steak frites hit all the right notes: juicy steak with crisp, golden fries. And the cassoulet was rich, hearty, and deeply satisfying — a true classic done right. Overall, Frenchie Bistro delivered on every front: impeccable service, delicious food, and a relaxed, elegant vibe. A true gem — we'll definitely be back.“

“This is the first review I've ever written (seriously!), and to be honest I'm writing it as I sit here with a friend of mine looking at the website, talking about miscellaneous stuff (like me not having ever written a review), and I was telling her about when my partner and I went to Zuzu's Petals a couple of years ago (my friend will be in Cambridge soon and I was giving her a recommendation).

We love this place! We're not regulars as we only go to Boston occasionally to see my partner's sister and family, but whenever we're in town we try to go at least one night. It's so refreshing to have a space with no phones, at least for a little while, YA KNOW?!? Of course I'm writing this on a screen, so the irony is not lost on me, but a break from screens? I'll take it.

Last time we were there the record player (vinyl, of course!) was playing Bowie, Stones among others - again, refreshing to hear full albums - and I think we had a cheese plate and few glasses of wine and of course dessert. It's always been a nice time for us and we highly recommend! And thus dear reader we reach the conclusion of my post: my friend and I both agree, since I'm sharing this restaurant suggestion with her, why not share it with the world?!?!? (Like I said, it's my first time and this was fun to write...)“

“From start to finish it was awesome!!! Food, drinks and service were amazing! Rodi was an amazing hostess, thank you for the awesome experience. Patrick, Annelice and Breana. Ps. Romania 🇷🇴 here we come. 😂“

“nathalie was amazing! staff was so nice, attentive, friendly, and helpful. they offered us great recommendation. food was really good too, albeit limited. I love that they will do half bottles of any of the bottles on the menu, and then you can get a glass if someone else opened a bottle already. it really makes for a lot of options which i appreciated. I had a mediocre experience at haley.henly but this experience made me want to give their sister bar another shot. overall, great experience! highly recommend!“

“Such a cute place and the staff are so knowledgeable. I don’t know much about wine but with a simple conversation about what I like they are always able to help me find something I love that’s also new and exciting.

The food is also delicious. Simple but well balanced and the salads are out of this world. The cod and whatever bean dish they are serving at the time are my other go-tos.“

“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.“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“Very Energetic! Bartender was fantastic“

“Great romantic spot for a casual date. Fun staff great wines, good music, killer ambiance“

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.“

“Amazing restaurant, I love it. ♥️♥️♥️“

“Great experience, our waiter Brian gave us Great service and recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Steak melts in your mouth!“

“I had not been in almost a year and I forgot how amazing Giulia is. The Service was outstanding. the food was phenomenal and the atmosphere was perfect. Oysters/Corn Pasta/Foccacia/.......just perfect right down to the panacotta! Thank you very much TEAM GIULIA!“

“As always Capital Grille delivers an outstanding experience. We had someone in our party with sever dairy allergy and it was taken very seriously by the waiter and chef. They made dairy free truffle fries that were just as good as regular truffle fries with dairy. Steaks were all cooked perfectly and the wait staff was outstanding!“

“Elegant, thoughtful menu and wine pairings. Highly recommend trying the themed menu offerings. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Incredible! I dine here all the time.“

“By far the best, authentic Italian food in the North End. We have dined at several restaurants but the service, ambience and food is the best! They make their own pasta and sauces daily. I cannot recommend Casarecce enough. Delicioso.“

“The food was beyond amazing! The vibe of the restaurant was magnificent and the service exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly and respectfully attended to throughout our dining experience. This restaurant has now made it to our top 10 local restaurants as this was our 3rd consecutive visit. I definitely recommend Boston Restaurant Bar & Grill.“

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Pizza- MUST TRY ….. was the best wood fire pizza I’ve ever had (even in Italy 🇮🇹😳) the eggplant capers garlic was delicious 😋 the chicken cutlet was also delicious very moist (tender) 😉 and well there’s “salad” 😂
Definitely won’t be disappointed!!!“

“My wife and I made our first trip to Boston, and this was our first stop after we arrived. Everything was fantastic! We ordered 6-7 plates and they were all delicious, especially the clams, eggplant and piri-piri chicken. We also had no experience with Portuguese wine but the varietals we tried were wonderful. The best part truly was the service - our waitress. Maggie, and the manager, Madison, were just so warm and welcoming and made our experience that extra level of special. What a lovely gem of a restaurant!“

“Delicious food and great ambiance! We will come back!“

“I love this restaurant! Great food 🇵🇱“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“The staff and management are always super nice and the food delicious! Guaranteed good time!“

“I attended an event yesterday at this amazing Restaurant. The atmosphere is so inviting, the drinks were delicious. Food was absolutely scrumptious. And the staff all so kind and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in for a cocktail or dinner, you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Our waiter William was terrific, but the kitchen was ridiculously slow. We waited a very long time before for bread and we waited almost thirty minutes for our appetizers. Drinks were also slow. Dinner was very slow too, and my daughter did not get her dinner until we were almost finished with our entrees. You have a large capacity venue and apparently do not have adequate wait staff and kitchen staff.“

“We had the absolute pleasure of dining at Mooo in Beacon Hill, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere struck the perfect balance of upscale elegance and welcoming warmth. Our server, Jeffrey, truly went above and beyond to make our special occasion unforgettable. His attentiveness, genuine kindness, and thoughtful touches made the evening feel personalized and celebratory. To top it off, the manager stopped by our table with warm greetings, which added an extra layer of care and hospitality that you don't often find. The food was superb, every dish beautifully prepared. The filets were cooked to perfection, lobster amazing, and all the appetizers, sides and dessert!! We just kept eating and eating!! Combined with the flawless service and the lively yet refined vibe of the restaurant, it created the perfect dining experience. Mooo is the kind of place that turns a dinner into a memory. We left feeling incredibly impressed and grateful, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend for any special occasion, or simply when you want the best of Boston dining.“

“Great food and great service! I even got gluten free chicken parm and spaghetti which was excellent! They have a wonderful food and drink menu. Our server Jess was was excellent as well. The manager Nick greeted us when we came in and found us a great table by the window. So the bottom line is, this is a great restaurant and I'm so happy we found this little gem! We will be back!“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“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“

“The food and service are excellent. Our server was outstanding and attentive. One of the deserts was okay because they started running out of it. On the whole, great experience and it is worthwhile to pay the price for a great atmosphere, service, and food.“

“We had the bolognese and the haddock and ordered a side of roasted carrots. All the food was delicious. Service was efficient and friendly. Not too busy, we didn't wait long at all. Cocktail was very different— a bitter sweet rhubarb flavored martini— great!“

“Vertigo Trio would like to thank Prep Neighborhood Kitchen for an incredible meal at our gig in their restaurant last night. Just absolutely fabulous! These guys are like "Bear" but with less swearing and death threats!“

“Wonderful food and great service in an amazing setting!“

“Do yourself a favor - skip over the Boston restaurants and head straight here. I’ve been coming for years and the food never disappoints. The service is great. And there’s gluten free on Monday - what more could you want!? Fabulous.“

“The Capital Grille was a delight from the moment we walked in. We arrived right as the doors opened for lunch and enjoyed the quiet elegance of the dining room, surrounded by beautiful artwork that invites you to linger and explore. The staff was gracious and attentive, making us feel warmly welcomed. Our meals, served hot and full of flavor, proved well worth the brief wait. It’s a place I highly recommend and look forward to returning to—perfect for a leisurely lunch or a special evening out.“

“You changed the garlic bread! Once a revelation, now it' s ordinary. Bring back better garlic bread, please. Also, the ice cream really wasn't up to standards, because it was grainy. However the risotto, the pastas, the caesar salad - all were outstanding. Our server was excellent. Overall, we really enjoyed our dinners and look forward to going back soon.“

“It is always dependable and delicious“

“Small beer selection, wine and a bar. But they were great, super friendly, and the food was good.“

“Adrian was the best service we have had in a long time. Great place ask for him if you want great service. Will be back.“
