Tapas Restaurants near Waltham, MA

“We love Gustazo Cuban Testaurant and their Tapas plates are simply the best! The wait staff was awesome and the food outstanding... but sometimes the noise level can be difficult to navigate even on a Tuesday night ... none the less, this is one of our favorite restaurants. Thank you!“

“Our party of 6 had an excellent belated-valentines day dinner this past weekend. Our server Danny was so attentive and personable. He kept the drinks and laughs coming! All the food was fantastic and came out quickly. We will definitely be back again!“

“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!“

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

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

“Utterly delicious! Got a spicy beef bowl and it fixed me. I was meeting some friends and didn't have time to research any gluten free options in the area. Took a chance on this place and the hostess was very considerate of my dietary needs. Will definitely order again in the future!“

“This is one of my favourite sit down pizza places around Boston. I love the vibe of the place, especially sitting on their outside seating during good weather. The 2 times I’ve been here, both times I was amazed by the things I ordered. To add, I’m a vegetarian too, and the pizza I tried this time was the eggplant pizza, it was so good!! Must try for sure!!“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“The dishes are so intentional. You can tell there is a lot of love and thought that went into each dish. The cornbread and scotch eggs are divined!“

“Depends what you are looking for. If it is traditional Cuban food, go elsewhere. If you are interested in latin american food wirh a Cuban flair, you will like this place. I am a native born cuban and I will approach these type of restauranrs wirh a Cuban Nouveu cuisine mentally so I am not immediately disapointed and can approach it more open minded. So think of hispanic food with a Cuban flair. If so, I was impressed with their small plates and entrees. Tasty and well thought out dishes. Nice cocktails with Cuban flair but some standards are available. See photos for their original Hemingway Daiquiri which was quite good. Service was friendly but could have been better but place was packed on a Friday night. Deserts were interesting. The Tres Leches was differnt and recommended. Prices were not cheap but reasonable and much cheaper than Mariel
Nice neighborhood too. Street parking.“

“Great food, great service. The yakitori are grilled to perfection. The wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu offers an array of sake, cocktails, wine and beer. Cannot wait to go back and try more food!“

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“We had a large party to which everyone was so accommodating! From the wonderful host that made sure we were well taken care of and comfortable throughout our meal, to the server's patience as we had members filing in late and with a multitude of requests, and the bartender who took care of us for one last sip! To match the service we received, the food was SPECTACULAR! Not one crumb was left behind. The ambience of this location was so fun and a great spot for friends gathering.“

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.“

“AMAZING. Both quality of food, and service. Our server last evening was Patrick, who was professional and delightful. I let him chose my wine and it did not disappoint. Excellent preparation of venison as well. 10/10 experience, as we don't eat out often - and we were impressed. Wonderful evening, will be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent tapas in a quaint setting“

“Los Sugar Kings were fantastic, and the atmosphere at Lou’s was excellent. The music and overall vibe honestly made up for most of the experience, and I would definitely come back.

Unfortunately, our service from Nicole was the weak point of the night. She repeatedly checked in every few minutes asking if we were ready to order, which started to feel pushy rather than attentive. Later, she dropped off the check and, when she came back and saw that I hadn’t put my card down yet, she visibly expressed frustration.

It was only around 9 PM and the night was still getting started, so there really didn’t seem to be any need to make us feel rushed. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy the evening, I found myself feeling anxious, like I needed to hurry so our server wouldn’t get annoyed.

That aside, Los Sugar Kings were great and the atmosphere was excellent, which is why I’m still giving Lou’s four stars.“

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.“

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!“

“The White Bean Salad was absolutely delicious! Irene, our bartender, recommended it and suggested adding burrata, and she was so right. The burrata made it extra creamy and paired perfectly with the roasted peppers, cranberries, crispy shallots, and sherry vinaigrette. Irene was amazing friendly, attentive, and gave us such a great recommendation. Definitely coming back!“

“We are in Cambridge for a few nights and found Dali being a restaurant nearby. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. Luckily we made reservation as the restaurant was packed. The menu was extensive; the service was friendly; the meal was served quickly and delicious and the atmosphere was great. We ordered 4 tapas plus an order of focaccia and a bottle of wine. All come to less than $100 not including tips. A must try in Cambridge, MA.“

“Food was awesome! Service was great too!“

“Delish dinner. Swordfish & fresh vegetables. Scrumptious tart for dessert!“

“Amazing food ❤️ lovely people and the best cocktails“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“Over the Charles Rooftop Bar was such a great find. The views over the Charles River and Boston skyline are beautiful, especially in the evening, and the whole atmosphere feels relaxed and special without being pretentious.

The drinks were excellent, the food was really good, and the staff were incredibly warm, kind and attentive throughout.

A genuinely lovely rooftop and one of my favorite parts of the stay at the DoubleTree Suites Boston-Cambridge. Definitely worth going up for a drink, dinner, or just to enjoy the view.“
