Hidden Gem. Food was absolutely on point. Service was spectacular. We will definitely be going there again.

The food was great. They do a good job operationally. The quality of the food is good too.

Some little things get missed though, and the service felt a bit rushed.

Overall a solid choice though with tempered expectations. A nice go to spot for that area.

I had been here several years ago and found it to be an enjoyable experience. This time, I found the menu limited with some old favorites and some new. My wife had the steak and found it to a little tough and the mashed potatoes cold. I had the jambalaya and it was very good. Our waitress was attentive and polite. However, the delivery was erratic, which found us waiting for all to be served. Some in our party waited for the remaining people to be served. This was apparent with beginnings, main course and desert.

The beef tenderloin was delishous! The meet was tender and cooked to perfection. The shrimp Alfredo was creamy and delishous as well. The apple bread pudding was amazing!

Went with friends, did a tapas event. Brussel sprouts fantastic, brie amazing, soups well received, salad as well. Bread basket was good, shared cheesecake and chocolate cake. Service was awkward. Our server was very pleasant, but the timing was off. For instance, we ordered coffee and dessert. Coffee came, and the desserts arrived over 10 minutes later. The pseudo meal was the same way. Not bad, just no flow.

This was a little expensive, but really decent food. I would ask the waitperson for how much the daily specials cost before you order as I ordered a rib eye steak and was sticker shocked at the price when I got the bill, $49. None of the prices were stated by the server on any of the daily "specials". I might have expected the prices to be a bit high in a stand alone restaurant, but for some reason I wouldn't expect them in a strip mall restaurant.

Well folks .. I’m here to let you know that WE found a wonderful place in Northborough. We selected Romaine’s at 299 West Main Street.

We had a reservation at 5:45 but arrived early. Water was poured as we were seated which was most welcome as it was 95 out.

A most charming waitress, I am sorry that I did not get her name, mid thirties with a loose bob haircut.

The offered a number of beers on tap, but of the five of us, two selected a pomegranate “Mocktail” which they said was fantastic. My brother and I had perfectly made Stoli Dirty Martinis with Blue Cheese Stuffed jumbo olives.

We were told the specials as well as the background on the Chef who is from the South and loves to showcase the food from the area.

To start we shared with super crisp homemade fries with delicious blue cheese dipping sauce. Then Harissa glazed roasted heirloom carrots. The Creole BBQ Shrimp were perfectly cooked and their grilled bread for dipping was perfect. We also had a most generous size of Brie with was served with Fig Jam on crostini.

Two of the group had a special of Panzanella with chicken. Two additional guests had the Chicken Piccata who was juicy and just the right amount of lemon and sugar.

I had the Pork Schnitzel which litterally the size of the dinner plate and a nice taste. It was set upon a grain mustard sauce.

My brother had the steak strip and pommes frites. So yummy!

The service was super attentive and very knowledgeable about the menu!

Here is a photo from the website.

While not a problem for me, but could be for someone in the next situation, was that the menu is on the smaller side.

We had a few glasses of wine and several cokes. The total bill was 257 and we left a 70 tip for great service… which it was.

I would go back soon!!

Food was ok, drinks were a little unbalanced for me, too much sour in one and too much bitters in my 2nd drink.

Delicious food, prompt service in a Cape Cody atmosphere.
Loved the salad and veal bolognese. The porterhouse steak was cooked just right.
Not a cheap place, it was worth the money.
