New American Restaurants near Wakefield, MA

“Non rushed long lunch. My short rib grilled cheese was huge and delicious. Enough leftover for tomorrow. The French fries were some of the best ever- served in a cute metal basket. Excellent service. My pomegranate margarita was nice - not the best I ever had. I'll be back“

“The best meal- great service- Beautiful atmosphere And warm friendly hostess“

“Incredible food at the Chef’s Table. Amazing coordination between staff in a small space. Very friendly and accommodating. Probably the best meal I have ever had and I didn’t choose any of the courses!“

“Delicious and safe dining experience- the food was unbelievably fresh and creative. All servers went out of their way to be attentive and friendly- the mulled wine was the perfect beverage on this chilly afternoon! We brought blankets- and used them!“

“This place is amazing. Everything. We flew in and were so tired but it was my husbands bday so we had to get brunch… I’ve never had better pancakes, Benedict, avocado/salmon toast, bacon & egg sandwich… 5 stars for service, atmosphere and cuisine! We’ll be back and you should too!“

I will be back for sure .“

“Had an amazing experience at June Bug! The vibe of the location is cute and unique. The food was amazing we got the verde pizza and the pepperoni pizza both were cooked perfectly and the kitchen sink salad was addicting. I loved that they had NA drink options. The waitstaff was really kind and friendly. I said on the reservation that I have an egg allergy and the hostess handed me a menu when I got there that marked down which items had eggs and which were safe for me to eat. NEVER HAS THAT HAPPENED FOR ME. Omg I was so excited and relieved since I hate having to ask a million questions about what the menu items are so this was so sweet and I really appreciated it. I wished all restaurants did this, I def will return!“

“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“

“This place is one of the best places I’ve been to in a hot minute! The bottomless brunch and $4 mimosas had my best friend and I making immediate reservations! The staff and management are so sweet and truly care about the service they provide. This really is the place to go and if you haven’t yet you better get on it babe! Will be here once a month at least! Seriously obsessed! 🤍“

“Here’s a revieWe had a decent meal at The Abby. The food itself was good, but we had a small issue with the salad. I had asked to substitute the fries for a salad, and while I appreciated the option, it came already dressed. I personally liked the dressing, but I usually prefer my salads without it, and would have appreciated being asked. Unfortunately, my partner didn’t like the dressing at all and ended up not eating her salad. A small thing, but it would’ve made a difference if they had checked with us first.“

“Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Great food and drink!“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“Fantastic experience- first with the greeting from the host/mgr., then collaboratively between the mgr., our server, and the chef, accommodating my food allergies with an X marked menu of what I couldn't have and marking through ingredients of menu choices remaining as to how they'd accommodate. We ordered the broccolini, kale salad, and both ordered the grass-fed steak and brisket, and the chef hit it out of the park, still maintaining mouth watering taste, while adapting those without dairy & garlic. SO GOOD! Just make a reservation & GO!“

“Beware: NO DECAF COFFEE! We were a group of 4 for brunch. The food was very good and we appreciated the atmosphere and the convenient location. There was only one person working the room and the place got quite busy, which meant we needed to wait every time we asked for something (like a water refill and the order of bacon he forgot). That part was somewhat frustrating (only because we needed to get somewhere right after, so we were watching the clock), but as the bartender/waiter explained, the busy period is brief, so it doesn't make sense to have additional staff. Something that needs to be said because it was so unexpected and unusual: NO DECAF COFFEE!!! Someone in our group enjoys coffee but can't have caffeine, so that was a big disappointment as she was expecting to have coffee with her brunch, as one would normally expect with breakfast food. I wrote this at the start of this review to convey this to people who may not feel like reading this whole review. I'd go back if I was in the neighborhood, but I'm a caffeine addict, so the beverage offerings were not a problem for me, lol.“

“Outstanding service! Fast delivery to table of excellent quality food. A little pricey but what airport restaurant isn’t pricey. Would recommend to anyone. 5+ stars!“

“This restaurant is dope. The interior is warm and inviting. It’s modern and chic. Definitely an elevated hipster vibe. A chill spot to hang out after work or nice date night. The food is bomb! For apps, I’ve never had a Chinese-inspired arancini. These crispy delights are addicting with their crack sauce. The sauce is a must have on the arancini. The salad is light and refreshing. The Kokoda is a well made dish. I never had blue fin tuna until I came here. The combo with the fresh fish with the acidity from the lemon juice and smooth finish of coconut sauce - oof, worth a try. There’s also another surprise about the Kokoda - there’s something called sea grapes 🍇 and were bursting of flavor and freshness. A nice addition to the dish. I could go for seconds with the Kokoda because it’s a bit small for me. I wish they made it 2x bigger so it could be more shareable with a date or with company. The Maine Uni was surprisingly delicious 😋. I honestly thought it was too expensive but after having it, it was an amazing amuse bouche (the perfect bite). I couldn’t believe that small bite packed so much flavor and complexity. It was balanced and left me feeling happy. Totally worth it. For mains, the pork belly adobo melts in your mouth. So good! The mushroom raviolis are my favorite out of this menu. The salted duck egg sauce is what makes this dish memorable. I would definitely eat this again. The bitter melon ratatouille is not my favorite because it wasn’t seasoned enough for me. It felt as though it was missing salt. The veggies were perfectly roasted though, but it didn’t quite smack like the other dishes. The ribeye is good, but not my favorite. I might be biased because I’ve had better at other places. For desserts, the pandan sorbet is tasty. I’m not a fan of the pandan taste. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but I enjoyed it because I love avocados and bananas and in ice cream form? No brainer. I wished they had a version without the pandan flavoring. I’m curious as to how it would taste then. The matcha cheesecake is surprisingly well-balanced. Not too matcha where it’s overbearing. The matcha is subtle while the richness of the cheesecake smacks just right and not overly sugary. The late night menu - I only tried the Chicharrón taco 🌮. The combo of crispy pork belly and the acidity from the lime is perf. Nothing else to say. Surprisingly really filling. I probably can’t have more than 2 of these tacos and I’m a pretty big guy. The drinks - I love the names and how they have a play on words. The blood orange and the banana espresso are my favorite. These drinks have enough booze and not too much where it’s offensive. Blood orange is enjoyable to drink and the banana espresso is complex with a chocolate finish. Their nice, clean cocktails. Service was awesome! The servers were friendly and quick. They regularly checked in with my wife and me. I don’t think I even had to do the awkward “please help us” lean at all. They were there when you needed them! Amazing 5 star service! You want a culinary experience. This place won’t disappoint.“

“I've gone to this Revival location for coffee often and have had bites at the bar - but this was my first dinner! Andres was a fabulous server, he was a delight and made our experience so special. and the entire service team was kind and attentive. The food was lovely and classic with creative hints that elevated the standard offering. Really glad we stopped in! We'll be back :)“

“I miss when they had more seasonal selections. In the previous years I had beers that I didn't even know existed. They should definitely bring that back. Other than that, the place is clean. Had the whiskey pepper boneless wings and they were pretty good. I do like that they have notch Salem lager on tap. You don't find that everywhere“

“Second time here. The food we ordered was amazing yet again. I ordered the black peppered biscuits with sausage, eggs Benedict and gravy. The other two orders were the pancakes & NY strip steak with eggs Benedict. The service was outstanding — our server named “Indira” was incredibly sweet, attentive and had absolute perfect timing when it came to checking in on us and delivering the food and drinks. The hostess was kind and helpful. The ambiance was great too, not too quiet and not too loud. Kid friendly with crayons and coloring paper. Intimate setting good for casual dates but also great for groups. I really like to this place I'll definitely be back.“

“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.“

“My bartender this night was Zack. He was intuitive and an informative bartender who brings atmosphere to those around him. The decor is colorful and inviting. Modern lighting, not to bright, but not too dark. Almost a space like atmosphere. Clean, tidy and top notch. The menu is inviting with many choices. Appetizers, meals and even desert...try the Ruben it is mouth watering! Also if Damian is working the kitchen that night your going to end up with the most flavorful meal. He is a master of his skills. I highly recommend the food, drinks and atmosphere.“

“Excellent Steak Frites, Faroe Island Salmon, Wild Boar Bolognese, an Ultimate Burger, and Truffle Fries. Check out their Valentine's Day Menu.“

“One of my all time favorite spots in Somerville never had a bad meal. Great vibe and service always suggests it as one of the top spots in Somerville.“

“Absolutely gorgeous place to have dinner! We went on a warm night, through a Boston heat wave, and the open doors and patio-style setup - in addition to the amazing food and service (my drinks never stayed empty for long, and there were more appetizers than I could sample) truly made the night feel like paradise.

If you're in downtown Boston/Cambridge and are looking for a relaxing environment with a high-quality atmosphere and excellent cuisine, this is definitely a place to put on your list.“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“If your are looking for a place with high quality this is a excellent spot. Very much recommend this spot. 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“Super friendly and fast service right by the Garden“

“Bambara has a special place in our hearts because it is where we gathered after our wedding in May. We have been here many times from dinner to brunch to happ hour local dollar oysters (everyday from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.) and every time the service is amazing and the food is out of this world - curated, seasonal, and delicious! Big shout out to Jasmin the Manager and the amazing server Yvesse - such genuine care, and the awareness where they are available with a glance but not in the way of conversation or privacy. True hospitality. \n\nThe brunch menu is unique and seasonal, I ordered the French Toast with pumpkin custard and it was sweet and delicious! I've never had french toast with pumpkin custard and candied walnuts, now I will in the future! Yum. Chai latte is less sweet than expected but traditional and warm, latte is flavorful.\n\nThe evening before I had the scallops and I've never had a seasonally fall scallops dish, it was just the right amount of of squash with little pepitas to perfectly pair with a nicely pan seared dish of scallops with risotto. My partner also thinks that the Caesar Salad here is one of the best he has had, especially because of the homemade croutons. If you are a guest at The Marlowe, and want to make sure you try clam chowder in Boston, the chowder here is good, it is creamy but not too thick. 2 cups. Fresh. My partner also said the homemade fusilli pasta dish was delicious, and I had a bite and I agree. \n\nThank you so much to the Bambara team. A nice surprise as I was finishing my meal occurred when a team member named Jessica came by just to say it was so nice to see me back again and we talked about the last time I was here. \n\nJust an all around fabulous place, with a beautiful view and calming upscale environment, welcoming intimate dinners, family brunches, and everything in between.“

“Food, drinks and service were all excellent. We will definitely be back again!“

“This place has the best coffee in town. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Lunch menu is just as good. Cookies, scones and muffins are all delicious. The owners Peter and Siri bend over backwards to please their customers. The register and serving crew Lisa and Isabel are great.“

“It’s da bomb. If you are ever in the area, don’t miss it ✌🏼♥️😎“

“I love The Berry Tavern. It's has a great vibe. Lots of good menu options. The food and cocktails are delicious. The owners and staff are great as well; my favorite night is Thursday because of the music. 👍🏼“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“This place was great!! Highly recommend! Awesome atmosphere!“

“Awesome experience for a little hole in the wall dive.“

“Greens’ Grill is, by far,my favorite restaurant. Paul has assembled a fantastic crew with Chef Suey leading the way. No matter what you order you will never be disappointed. I highly recommend the Grill for dinner or your next function. Paul Sands“

“My group ordered the bone marrow hush puppies, bavette steak, prime rib, and monkfish. Only the prime rib met expectations. The monkfish consisted of 3 small slices sitting on cubed root vegetables. The lobster broth was pretty bland and was not enough to salvage an otherwise meh dish. The bavette was cooked well, but our piece contained a lot of sinew and was other connective tissue. Lastly, the desserts left a lot to be desired. We were in a rush so had to have our two desserts packed to go. One was a lanna cotta that came with the prime rib and we ordered an apple tart. We either did not receive the lanna cotta or it was more a cheesecake that looked and tasted nothing like a panna cotta. The apple tart also either lacked components or was not as described. Overall...pretty mundane meal.“

“Lovvvved it! Water views make all the difference! Food & drinks GREAT.. but our server Alexa… Was EVERYTHING!“

“I went to Chelsea Station Restaurant with a couple of friends, and we had such a great experience! The food was incredible — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even the friends visiting from out of town were blown away by how good everything was.

The service was amazing too. Our server was super friendly, attentive, and made the whole night feel relaxed and easy. The cocktails were fantastic, and my favorites from the menu were the short rib tacos, truffle fries, and the seafood pasta — absolutely delicious.

We shared a few starters, and for dessert, the bread pudding and chocolate lava cake were unforgettable. We even took some home!

Highly recommend Chelsea Station for a fun night out with friends or a small gathering. Great vibe, great food, great service. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!“

“The food and drink were awesome, restaurant was clean and organized, service was fast and great, and Marcy is the best!“

“Never had a better experience at a restaurant. Child friendly. Staff is super nice and really accommodating. New favorite spot to go!“

“The energy of this space is as loving and chic as Somerville itself; looking forward to becoming a regular!“

“everything was wonderful!“

“Staying at this hotel, I decided to try their complimentary breakfast this morning — and it was a pleasant surprise! I ordered the pancakes, and they were excellent — crispy on the edges, soft and fluffy inside. The sausage was especially memorable, juicy and packed with flavor.

The presentation was also nice, with the “CLINK” logo dusted on top of the pancakes — a fun touch. Overall, I would say this was a 5-star breakfast experience. I’m excited that I still have another morning here and hope to try more items on their breakfast menu during this trip.

One more highlight is that the restaurant and hotel are located in a former jail, and they’ve preserved some of the old prison features and décor — definitely worth checking out while you dine.“
