40 Best Wine Bars near Waltham

“Beautiful interior and food was amazing. The staff and bartenders were very attentive as well.“

“I and my husband had a dinner yesterday and food was delicious, Angelo, our server was excellent, real pro. The restaurant by itself gave us a feeling of the real Italy. Thank you!“

“My wife and I had dinner on NYE at the Waltham location. The food and atmosphere were excellent and both our meals were prepared just the way we requested.
I can’t say enough about our server Denise Shannon. She went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our meal, offering suggestions as we placed our order and frequently checking to ensure our experience was top notch. As great as the food was, it was Denise that made this a 5 star review!!!“

“Delicious desserts and a phenomenal wine selection set in a candle-lit, cozy bar — what more could you ask for!

The friendly staff, excellent records, and purple touches give the bar the coziest, "you're exactly where you're supposed to be" feeling.

The tiramisu with the nerocapitano can't be missed!“

“My favorite wine bar, specially for after work drinks or girls hangout! Wonderful wine selection, including great orange wine options. Tasty small plates to go with your wine. It’s great for wine and tapas but not really a dinner place in my opinion.“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“It's the Simply Things.... After a stressful day at work or it's mid-week and you're looking for just something to get you through... drop by Flora's Wine Bar. This is my go to place for great drinks and food. James and Corey will surely make you feel at home.“

“Awesome place to discover fun wines from some fine wine regions! Their snacks are super bien, too! We had a flight of wines because there were too many good ones to decide, some empanadas, and a full glass of the winning wine. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The vibes were vibing. Adding Super Bien to our rotation of hangout spots. Definitely recommended!!“

“Elegant, thoughtful menu and wine pairings. Highly recommend trying the themed menu offerings. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“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.“

“Love the vibe here! It’s a perfect place to hang in the mid-late afternoon and have a glass of wine before dinner. The staff is incredibly helpful to help you choose the right wine for you (and always give you a generous pour). I adore all of their flower arrangements on the communal table - unique, artsy, and just gorgeous. I also support the 23% service fee upfront, as 1 - it’s worth it and 2 - I prefer not to deal with bills or payments later on (which would be disruptive to the flow of the hangout).“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

“Great romantic spot for a casual date. Fun staff great wines, good music, killer ambiance“

“The food was beyond amazing! The vibe of the restaurant was magnificent and the service exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly and respectfully attended to throughout our dining experience. This restaurant has now made it to our top 10 local restaurants as this was our 3rd consecutive visit. I definitely recommend Boston Restaurant Bar & Grill.“

“The food was so good it didn't even matter that the date didn't go well. Everybody involved in the service was great, John, Helena, and a manager I think. John's guidance was primordial in terms of food experience. The special with the Linguini, Black Bass and Calamari it's out of this world. Even tho it was full I never felt like I wasn't able to comfortably talk with my date. $200 plus tip for 2 apps, 2 entrees, 4 drinks and dessert felt pretty well spent honestly. 10/10 experience definitely coming back.“

“I went for the first time earlier this week, and I thought it was great! Firstly they were very gracious about my indecisiveness on where I wanted to sit, and allowed me to switch tables. Twice. The bev list had a solid selection of natural wines from some of my favorite producers, but I ended up ordering a glass of one I've never tried before - a skin contact Carricante which matched nicely with the light char on our pizza. The food was fresh and vibrant, our server was attentive and engaging (sorry hun, I forgot your name, even though I asked a couple times, but you deserve a shout-out). Long story short, I went in hungry and slightly grumpy, I left happy and with a satisfied stomach.“

“Vertigo Trio would like to thank Prep Neighborhood Kitchen for an incredible meal at our gig in their restaurant last night. Just absolutely fabulous! These guys are like "Bear" but with less swearing and death threats!“

“The staff and management are always super nice and the food delicious! Guaranteed good time!“

“I went season 52 tonight for thanksgiving dinner , for the first time , the restaurant is amazing great atmosphere , The food was unbelievable, the best thanksgiving dinner ever , excellent service by Jodi M , she’s was very nice, polite and friendly I highly recommend this place !

“We were celebrating a birthday and everything towards that celebration worked perfectly! Great cake! Great service! Our server, Nick was perfect in all regards! He 'made' our dining experience so pleasant including the photos! Thank U!“

“Small beer selection, wine and a bar. But they were great, super friendly, and the food was good.“

“Good dining experience. Very friendly and knowledgeable service. My server replaced a dessert I didn't like with no change- which was very nice of her. Did the tasting menu which was nice. Next time I'll prob try the a la carte menu.

Parker House rolls:
Pillowy soft. Slightly sweet with a light dusting of salt on top. Butter was creamy and tasty too. 4/5

Potato pave
Like a giant French fry. Crispy outside nice and soft on inside. Topped with cavier and shallots which added a nice saltiness and savory flavor combo.

kampachi crudo-
Topped with basil, radishes, and cherry pepper drops
Good quality fish, slightly acidic flavor went well with the basil and radish. Cherry peppers added a light spice. Overall lacked flavor though 3.5/5

capitelli- topped with a Gremolata and capers, olive oil and eggplant
Very savory and well cooked. This was tasty 4.5/5

Pork loin with celery figs and peppers
Very tender and flavorful. Nice sauce with savoriness and a sweetest added by the figs 5/5

Dessert was a pear sorbet-
So good! Very. Tasted exactly like a pear. No added sugar no additives. so good! 5/5“

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

“Amazing food and service. There is a reason Chestnut Hill Capital Grille is always booked. It is the best. Better than other CG in the area and certainly above all other area restaurants. Steaks are perfect, mashed potatoes whipped to perfection and incredible desserts. Service always top notch.“

“Just had food delivered for my birthday last night for the first time. Absolutely amazing quality taste and presentation. My husband and I are both disabled so not going out much. We felt like we experienced being there. Delicious!“

“Best Italian pasta I ever tried!!!“

“Our party of 14 had the wonderful opportunity for the private room Sunday June 5th. The 50th anniversary party was treated royally by Ron and Sharon. Their service and knowledge of the entrees was spot on. The kitchen staff didn't disappoint! Everything about our visit just needed to be acknowledged! Thank you.“

“wonderful people making the best of today💖“

“Had a great meal last night - showed up a little later after a high school b-ball game and had fast service, great servers, and amazing food. I was starving because I missed lunch - had tuna tartare app (best I have had in a while), ceased salad starter, and halibut entree. All courses were A+!“

“I have been coming to the Hearth for many years...the staff is friendly, the atmosphere relaxing and comforting, and the food and beverages are from local sources, well prepared, tasty and satisfying. The owners and management have also shown a dedication to supporting the arts by encouraging local musicians to play at the restaurant. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“We recently used Putterham Grille to cater the Brigham and Women's Anesthesia Clinical Research Assistants Holiday Party, and the experience was exceptional! The food was excellent, with a wide variety of options to satisfy both carnivores and vegetarians alike. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

The team at Putterham Grille was professional and accommodating, ensuring that all dietary preferences were thoughtfully addressed.

If you're looking for a caterer that delivers on taste, quality, and variety, Putterham Grille is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend for any event!“

“Great venue! I recently hosted a birthday at Common Craft and it was a hit! The option of different taps offering local beers, wines, and spirits make it the perfect place for all! Food was also great and the event coordinator worked with me to curate the perfect menu. Would highly recommend Common Craft to anyone looking for an event space.“

“Excellent and creative options. Enjoyed a cocktail too.“

“Mark and Toni's in the Cushing Square area of Belmont is a great casual lunch and dinner spot. The pizzas are cooked in a coal fired oven that heats the pizza at a very high temperature so they are ready quick. It's a thin Neapolitan style pizza with fresh toppings. I recommend the buffalo chicken pizza, pepperoni or vegetable if you are a vegetarian. Also not to be missed are their coal fired chicken wings, burgers, salads and cheesesteak subs. They also have a beer and wine bar. Order at the takeout counter and then they will come over to the bar to serve you is my best advice as there isn't always a server at the bar. Also, the owner Vahe is a very nice man and welcoming to all guests. It's a local family run business.“

“Nice place for a celebration! Great food and customer service!!“

“Fabulous like the sister one in south end“

“Great food. Had oysters and blackened sword fish. Both the fish and the side were delicious. The fish was tasty and not dry. The crème brûlée was flavorful, creamy, and not too sweet.

The host was wonderful and prompt in getting our requests. The setting is also nice as it gave a Parisian feel to it.“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“My friends and I went to try out their trivia and it was an ok experience for that. It’s definitely more of a sports bar that just happens to do trivia weekly. It felt like trivia wasn’t the focus of the hour even though most groups were playing. The host was solid and questions had good variety but the pace was rather slow. For food we ordered some dishes to share and a couple of personal plates and I can say across the board it was really pushing the line of being a bad value. The taste was solid but the small portions were a real disappointment. For example the tacos were so small you could easily finish each of the 3 your given in 2 bites or even 1 with little problem. The atmosphere was energetic and staff were kinda but at the end of the day it’s not for us.“

“I recently brought some friends to MIDA Newton for the first time, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our server, Guillermo, was an absolute gem—friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic as he walked us through the menu, sharing his favorite dishes and highlighting the evening’s specials. We ordered two pizzas, the Caesar salad, arancini, burrata, and for dessert, the chocolate gelato and raspberry sorbet, and every bite was absolutely delicious. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the Newton location was perfect, and we loved the open view of the spotless kitchen, which the staff kept pristine even at the end of a busy night. Everyone we encountered was delightful, and we couldn’t stop raving about the food, service, and overall experience. We can’t wait to return!“
