50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Norwood

“One of my all-time favorite breweries. The atmosphere is so chill, the bartenders are cool and down to earth, they have board games, events, a few arcade games, a beer garden in the summer and allow dogs. On top of all that, they always have a good, interesting selection of beers, and wine/seltzer options too.“

“My wife and I went for a weekday lunch. The proprietor was friendly and informative. The food was good. I particularly enjoyed the butter chicken and the samosas. The lentil soup (served with vegetarian entrees) was also delicious with a nice little spice. I look forward to trying other things on the menu, like the mutton korma, palak paneer, and biryani. Thank you!“

“My go to place for lunch. Ordering online is easy and service is fast. It is always ready for me when I arrive and that is so important when I only have a short time for lunch. Even better is it's ALWAYS FRESH ingredients. Could not recommend this place more for juices, smoothie bowls and salads! Delicous!!“

“I know this place is about to go CRAZY on half days. Chipotle has nothing on Fuego 🔥The vegetarian burrito I had was absolutely fantastic. The housemade queso and spicy salsa was just 👩‍🍳🤌💋 fantastic. Both of the guys on shift were so kind and friendly. I definitely will be going back soon!“

“I’m giving this place a 5—because they had my wife's favorite ice cream, Rocky Road. We've had a tough time finding it lately, so this was a sweet surprise. The ice cream tastes great… but let’s be honest, it’s ice cream—it *has* to be good.“

“visiting from California and my son brought us here for brunch. OMG, the food was fabulous and service was exceptional. I was very impressed by the waitress. she took our order without writing down and got everything correct. five star rating“

“Coffee, Baklava, and most importantly the unique experience of being able to peer into arguably Boston’s coolest full-service motorcycle shop. If you’re there you might even get a sneak peek at some of the Madhouse teams latest projects!!!“

“I love this place! Every single cocktail that I've tried are absolutely delicious and so creative. Every bartender when I've gone have been extremely nice ! There is a back section away from the bar with additional seating which is nice when the bar area gets busy“

“I went there for an event my group was hosting and it was fantastic. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. Great beer. It was a great space for a get together.“

“Attended a class pop event here today and it was fabulous. Beer Selection was awesome.“

“My absolute favorite restaurant in Boston. Was my favorite when I lived here and continues as my favorite must-have when I come back to the city. The food is always phenomenal - favorites include the jamón ibérico (it’s like if meat was candy!), gambas (shrimp), setas (mushrooms), dátiles con jamón (essentially bacon wrapped dates), maíz (corn, I recommend getting “off the cob” for less mess/zero hand holding), the empanada, and the cod croquettes. But you really can’t go wrong!
But on top of the outstanding quality of the food, you must also consider the incredible service and people who work here. Jonathan at the host stand is beyond welcoming and helpful. Bartenders Oscar and David are gems, always attentive enough to know you’re cared for. And so many more, never had a bad experience in my many times here.
Could not recommend more!“

“EXCELLENT Lahmajoun. Probably the best we’ve had. Also tried the falafel plate and a spinach pie. Portions are huge! Definitely going back.“

“Great pizza and staff. Chef worked her buns off. A great sign.“

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

“7th Wave is a great local brewery that has a good range of brews on hand. However, they also have some of the best pizza in the entire area. Great Neapolitan-style pizza, seriously. Been a fan for years and the beers have only improved.“

“10/10 HIGHLY Recommend Great Place!“

“As someone who has Celiac Disease, I greatly struggle with finding good and safe places to eat.
Let me just start by saying, the staff here is beyond knowledgeable about their food, the ingredients, and with food allergies. I felt safe and secure eating there with my partner and some friends (two of whom are also Celiac). I ordered a caprese melt on gluten free bread with tater tots and chipotle mayo and immediately they were able to advise me that the mayo and the tots were NOT gluten free. They were able to offer suggestions, such as their chowder soup or their pre-bagged and sealed chips.
They were also amazing in asking if I had celiac or just a preference. They changed all of their gloves and utensils and prepared my food away from my partner’s food which contained gluten.

Honestly such an amazing place to eat. My partner and I have been saying how this very well just may become our favorite place to get dinner out!“

“Excellent food and service! Will try it again soon!“

“Oh what a joy! A superb example of an Irish pub in Boston. Lovely beers, authentic interior with all the idiosyncratic touches you could wish for. Our host was friendly, professional and a real credit to the pub. My daughter and I are British and it was a truly home from home experience. Thank you 😁“

“Excelente experiencia! Recomendado!“

“Always amazing food and service!!!“

“Excellent customer service, food, and coffee flavors! I come here every week on lunch break, could not recommend more.“

“Omg, so I’m sooo late but I absolutely love this place. I just stopped by this past Friday and build my own 20oz juice. I was helped by Esther she was so helpful as far as pairing selections. I will definitely be back!“

“Friends brought croissants from Le Petit Four. Arguably the best croissants ever enjoyed. Perfect combination of melt-in your mouth, butter flavor, flakiness and doneness. Remarquable !“

“Came in on a busy Friday night. The team was working hard and still taking care of their guest well. If you’re a chocolate lover, the chocolate mouse cheesecake is incredible. They also have delicious milkshakes! Could not recommend enough.“

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!“

“Consistently Delicious food, fabulous sangria, good service, and fun patio for the warmer months. We have been coming here for many years. Highly recommend!“

“Truly one of the warmest, most genuine places out there. The workers here are so kind and always make the tastiest Vietnamese treats! Here’s what I got!

Custom chè with coconut milk, hot luu, taro, jackfruit, and pandan jelly
- Genuinely one of the best I’ve had 10/10

Bánh Dùa (Pandan flavor)
- Amazing chewy texture filled with pandan custard and coconut shreds
- Comes in pandan, ube, or durian flavor, and I will come back to try the rest!

One of my favorite places to relax and eat homey food! Please come check it out :)“

“Fantastic food, service and atmosphere! A must try for dinner in the Boston area 🙂“

“I love Brazilian steakhouses, but they’re usually a longish ride & expensive. At Feijo in my hometown of Stoughton, I may have missed the novelty of the gaucho service of bigger Churrascarias, but I was able to eat myself into a meat coma for less than 2/3 what I pay elsewhere without highway or city traffic. 😵‍💫 Had excellent spicy pork sausage, top sirloin, brisket, picanha, short ribs & lamb. Would have preferred the beef to be more rare, but it was still moist & tasty. Market bar is a bit small, but staples plantains, cheddar biscuits & black beans with stewed pork are there & are outstanding! At such a reasonable price & so close to home, this place could nicely fill my need for a big meal of meat.“

“. Services was above and beyond. The food freshness, taste, quality, and presentation was totally amazing. Our server Desire the talanted mixologyist was very professional. The Friday after work crowd was very mix and chill. Last but least THE ONE AND ONLY DJ is born to do this. The transition between songs and the ability to move the energy as needed was a masterpiece“

“Great tasting food and customer service is amazing. New ownership!!! Tried a bunch of apps and food. Fried gyozas were super crispy as well as the wings! nice noodle soups and I love the curry. I will have to be back to try more of the menu. Milk tea and Boba available as well as my always favorite Thai ice tea!“

“Cacao is a small cafe located in Newton Highlands, specializing in chocolate related confectionery and drinks.

We came in during the afternoon, and it was quite busy but the staff were very accommodating and knew the menu quite well, recommending some things to try out. They had a large assortment of pre-assembled goods to buy, such as chocolate covered nuts, as well as hot chocolate mix.

We tried the hot chocolate and the dulce de leche. The portion size was reasonable for the price, and the chocolate was pretty good. The hot chocolate was made primarily of dark chocolate, which isn't my favorite, but turned out to be a good choice as it cooled down and became more rich.

Overall, a great experience and would definitely come back to try again.“

“Talk about yummy! Happy to have a healthy option right down the street.“

“Fantastic gem! I love the atmosphere. Rachael and her team are so welcoming. The food is amazing and unique. Fun variations that will leave you wanting to come back again and again to sample everything on the menu. They have more coffee varieties than can fit on their menu and every one I have had is fantastic!“

“Tried it for the first time today. It was delicious! I will be ordering again!“

“Omgggg this place is my new obsession! The owners are so nice and welcoming and the pasteries are some of the best I’ve ever had. They turned the old Starbucks location into something to cute and girly I love it. I also ordered some cupcakes for a Halloween party and the carrot cake ones were so moist and flavorful and the decorations were adorable. If you like cool unique lattes with cool syrups they also have those.“

“Jawana and Ashley were our servers and made us feel right at home
We all had short rib and mashed which was out of this world as we’re the old fashions Clyde’s bourbon
Highly recommend
We will be back

“First time have breakfast at Angel Cafe. Amazing delicious and welcoming. Highly recommend👍“

“If you haven’t been to Castle Island Brewery yet, you’re missing out on one of the best spots in Boston. From their friendly staff and rotating local pop-ups to live music and unbeatable weekend energy, it’s always a good time. Add in their award-winning brews and Bardo’s delicious food menu, and you’ve got a go-to destination for your next visit to Southie“

“Very good and really tasty. if there is a line . its worth waiting don't leave.“

“Came as a guest...not certain how one finds this place, but a place it IS! Group of us left an event at the park up the street a friend recommended a stop here...some how we landed in the parking lot across the drive and wandered into what felt like a large closet. YES, we serve food and a wide variety for the casual counter we're standing in front of. This appears to be a golf club food shack. Clearly, this venue is not run by the club; but, by restauranteurs who know the drill. Reading the reviews...seemed fair except their low hype and big delivery charmed us to returning and returning. Hemlock offers the best of all seasons...Food...Decks for the Summer afternoons and cozy fall vibe inside to drink the winters away...to get back on those decks.“

“What Stands Out:
What stood out the most, was that every team member I encountered was so friendly, helpful and professional. The lovely young, great energy woman who took my order named Izzy (sp?) was very helpful when I was deciding what to order.

The Food:
There are many items to choose from Pressed's expansive and interesting menu. Our food and everything else I saw looked fresh and delicious. It really can suit most anyone's taste and dietary needs. I pretty much eat anything, but my friend is dairy and gluten free. There were so many options for her.

The portions are LARGE! I definitely could have turned my brunch into two meals.

Pricing:
The pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the large portions, freshness and quality of their food.

Atmosphere:
The atmosphere at Pressed is lively, upbeat, clean, comfortable and modern. There is a lot of seating (counters and tables) inside and a lovely outdoor area for the good weather.

Location:
The location is great because it's on a main street with everything from clothing, to sporting goods, home design, food markets and more. You could spend a whole day in this neighborhood.

Pro-tip: It's a great menu, so I recommend taking your time to see all they have to offer - including their ready-made food and beverages. I also recommend ordering a few different plates, baked goods, etc., so you can get a real feel for it.

Overall Impression:
I've been to almost every restaurant around Newton, and I believe Pressed Cafe is the best all-around casual dining in Newton for food, atmosphere and service.“

“Great space, great food, great friendly service and great vibe. Whether for dinner or just for drinks it’s worth a visit.“

“we adored everything about this gem., delish cocktails, inspiring culinary creations and charming decor. A true find!“

“This family-owned bakery and donut shop offers a warm, inviting atmosphere and is nut-free for peace of mind. They handcraft all of their baked goods, including custom specialty cakes (with advanced orders). The moment you walk in, you'll feel right at home. Their donuts are so delicious you'll find yourself craving more, and the coffee is top-notch, brewed with great quality beans. The menu features a variety of donuts, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches—all at affordable prices. In addition, they create custom cakes, cookies, and cupcakes for any occasion. This bakery truly goes above and beyond to deliver excellent quality and service to their customers.“

“Delicious delicious delicious. The rice was the perfect texture and intense of the flavor of true fresh chicken broth. The service was very friendly and quick, too. And to top it off the decor is cleanly contemporary. Bravo! I hope nyc gets one asap too!“

“We had an issue with Grub Hub, and ended up having the restaurant cancel the order (ordered large but they only had the small dough at the time, which I didn’t think would feed the family, they were very obliging in canceling) we ordered from Papa Gino’s which was more money, and honestly not great, my son (ASD and ARFID) didn’t like it and refused to eat because it was cold. Rocco’s then delivered a large caramelized onion, and gave it to us for free (we owe you a double tip next time, my husband forgot in the confusion). My son immediately dove in eating the onions off the piece and the rest of the piece of pizza. You have made a customer out of us. Not only because of the excellent customer service but the food was very good and reasonably priced. Can’t wait to try some of the other dishes as well, due to the reviews.“

“A Saturday favorite for the fam!“

“Nice place. Good food. Keep it up!“
