Restaurants near Waban

“My experience today was amazing - Nicole was so helpful with ordering and our friends received a delicious hot meal with more than enough for a second meal. Thank you all for taking such good care of our request!”

“I had a mistake on my charge. Barry's resolved it quickly and efficiently. They couldn't have been nicer. My corned beef and tongue sandwich was the best! Barry's potato salad is the very best anywhere. All in all, Barry's is the best deli in greater Boston!!!”

“The food was fresh and fantastic! Service was excellent !”

“Had a wonderful dinner. Sat at the bar and were impressed by the sophistication of the bar offerings. Kyle, the bartender, guided us through the cocktails and menu. Everything we had was tasty, lots of layers of flavor, and the occasional kick of spice that lingered.”

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!”

“Food and service are excellent!”

“Giulia was amazing. Fantastic service, incredible food. From cocktails and the semolina cake sfizi which was the perfect small bite to start to the three desserts we shared around the table (affogato, orange blossom panda cottage, strawberry semifreddo) that generated debate over which was the favorite, every bite and every sip was thoroughly enjoyed. I will tryntonget a reservation every time we make it back to Boston!”

“I love everthing about this incredible gem in the heart of Newton Center.”

“We took a friend out to dinner at Oleana last night for her birthday and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. We loved being able to share and sample so many dishes, and each one was a masterful balancing of herbs, spices and flavors. The service was also top-notch. We can’t wait to return! It’s no surprise that it’s hard to get a reservation.”

“The additional noodle option was very worth it (nearly doubles the amount) and the soup base for the Umami Ramen is delicately seasoned and has a rich taste. Crew was also extremely friendly and helpful, a flawless experience for the price point.”

“Plenty of space and foods varying from American, Mexican, New Zealand, Asian, and some fusions. Bar is okay but the environment is nice. Sometimes people study here. They usually televised big events on the screens.”

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!”

“Romantic, quaint, charming, homey and relaxed atmosphere to disconnect from notifications and catch up with loved ones over treats. A refreshing non-dinner dining experience.”

“Excellent! The best gelato I have ever had. All the flavors I tried were superb.”

“Cozy spot and can have a long wait time, but it’s well worth it. Miso butter cod was one of the best things I’ve had in the city. Service was good, waiter explained everything and answered any questions we had. Definitely a spot I would return to Boston for.”

“Fiorella’s is my favorite restaurant in New England, and Concord is my favorite location of all Fiorella’s establishments. The food of course is excellent. But what really makes this place for me is THE STAFF. I always have a great time seeing all of them, they are so wonderful. Fiorella’s Concord has become main hangout spot not only for after work, but in general when I need a total mental health reset, and this decision on my part is because of the world class staff. I always leave Fiorella’s Concord in a better mood than when I came in because wonderful comfort food paired with an equally wonderful restaurant team makes for an A+ experience. As I like to say in situations like this, 10/10 no notes. THANK YOU FIORELLA’S CONCORD for being a major source of uplift in my life. Love you all!”

“Thank you to Chef Jon for allowing us to pick up a package of frozen dumplings during our visit to Artifact on Memorial Day. Cooked them up tonight and they were delicious, as was the edamame salad!!”

“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.”

“This place is amazing!! The customer service was top notch!!”

“Delicious, Yummy, Friendly, Locally owned, with baking ingredients specialities! We’re so happy to have this warm and inviting place around the corner from where we live. #support local !!”

“The most delicious pastries ever. If you love pistachio the way I do you will have trouble choosing and it is ALL great. But I particularly love the savories. The Palestinian bread and the flatbread with the green topping (forget what it's called) is a family favorite. We adore these; the flatbreads are a great quick lunch. But so so delicious, fresh, we are so fortunate to have you here!”

“A great gem my daughter and I went to while she was visiting from California . The monkey bread muffin definitely a treat along with the peanut butter explosion coffee Thank you for your kindness”

“not a single dish disappointed!! the gnocchi was definitely the highlight of the day - it was so tender and blended really well with the veggies. we liked the sweetness in the crispy pork ribs, and the asparagus was great too. would also recommend the cocktail with the gochujang element in it — the spicy aftertaste was super special! everything was amazing, would definitely come back again :)”

“Left another place to come here because the customer service was bad. What a 180. Citizen staff was friendly, great w/suggestions and helped secure me a seat at their busy bar. Had two great cocktails and a delicious pepper seared filet. Well done Citizen Pub!! I will be back!”

“Amazing food and bookstore!”

“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.”

“Nice place to stop for a beer!”

“I initially only went for the matcha collab/pop-up hosted at this location, but ended up trying one of their bowls and it’s safe to say I will be back. The manager, Matt, was friendly and helpful as I decided what to add to my bowl. Everything from the kale Caesar salad to the chicken and the cilantro rice was delicious and well-balanced. Oh and the sauces were super yummy. 10/10, no notes. Will be back. Thanks Matt and Dig Inn team!”

“What a gem. I’ve been to Junebug three times now and each experience has been awesome. The pizza is incredible, the cocktails are fantastic, and the service has been excellent every time. My husband and I took my mother here for her birthday in May and she is still talking about how much she loved Junebug and wants to come back.”
