38 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!“

“An impromtu visit to celebrate a work win. Always a fantastic meal, my wife's favorite steak prep method with the butter on her ribeye. The creamed spinach and au gratin potatoes are big faovorites too. Wine and coctails were equally satisfying and very well prepared. Service was very polite and timely but not obtrusive. Never an easy task and usually a challenge keeping our teenager's water glass full and napkin supply sufficient! We'll be back again soon!“

“This is the first review I've ever written (seriously!), and to be honest I'm writing it as I sit here with a friend of mine looking at the website, talking about miscellaneous stuff (like me not having ever written a review), and I was telling her about when my partner and I went to Zuzu's Petals a couple of years ago (my friend will be in Cambridge soon and I was giving her a recommendation).

We love this place! We're not regulars as we only go to Boston occasionally to see my partner's sister and family, but whenever we're in town we try to go at least one night. It's so refreshing to have a space with no phones, at least for a little while, YA KNOW?!? Of course I'm writing this on a screen, so the irony is not lost on me, but a break from screens? I'll take it.

Last time we were there the record player (vinyl, of course!) was playing Bowie, Stones among others - again, refreshing to hear full albums - and I think we had a cheese plate and few glasses of wine and of course dessert. It's always been a nice time for us and we highly recommend! And thus dear reader we reach the conclusion of my post: my friend and I both agree, since I'm sharing this restaurant suggestion with her, why not share it with the world?!?!? (Like I said, it's my first time and this was fun to write...)“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“nathalie was amazing! staff was so nice, attentive, friendly, and helpful. they offered us great recommendation. food was really good too, albeit limited. I love that they will do half bottles of any of the bottles on the menu, and then you can get a glass if someone else opened a bottle already. it really makes for a lot of options which i appreciated. I had a mediocre experience at haley.henly but this experience made me want to give their sister bar another shot. overall, great experience! highly recommend!“

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

“We love Dear Annie! The wine selection is amazing, we’ve never had a bad bite or sip. Shoutout to the onion dip and potato chips that we get every time. We’ve even hosted a private event here (the dear Annie staff was amazing) - it was our favorite gathering to date“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We loved everything about this restaurant. We had a great table in the window, our server was so knowledgeable and her recommendations were outstanding and the food, the food!! We had a mix of meals, seafood, pasta, special truffle course, and the chocolate cookies. Every single bit was delicious. We will definitely be back - if we can get a coveted table!“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

“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!“

“Great food and great service! I even got gluten free chicken parm and spaghetti which was excellent! They have a wonderful food and drink menu. Our server Jess was was excellent as well. The manager Nick greeted us when we came in and found us a great table by the window. So the bottom line is, this is a great restaurant and I'm so happy we found this little gem! We will be back!“

Look forward to the next visit Great job by all, thank you!“

“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.“

“Best Italian pasta I ever tried!!!“

“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“

“We went there for our wedding anniversary, and they went above and beyond to make us feel special. My wife doesn't drink alcohol so they even made sure to bring some complimentary non-alcoholic beverage option when bringing drinks to celebrate. Our waiter was great and made sure to check up on us regularly.“

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

“Jake and Jeremy did a superlative job taking great care of us as customers with excellent service, organized, efficient, and food quality outstanding. Highly recommend the restaurant and servers Jake and Jeremy. They deserve a raise.“

“I ordered yesterday (June 13) a variety of sandwiches in different sizes from Putterham Grille for a 12-person event, and everyone was genuinely impressed! The quality of the food exceeded our expectations — fresh ingredients, generous portions, and great flavors. It was clear that care went into each sandwich, and the variety kept everyone happy. I highly recommend.“

“Exceptional in every way. We dined here by chance initial and ate at the bar which we like to do to take in the ambience and atmosphere and this place has that in abundance, so much so we actually decided to eat their 2 nights on the run, largely because of the truly amazing experience provided by Miguel and the stunning food. I work in the luxury hospitality space and this was easily one of the best restaurants I have ever visited. Bravo Row 34 team, especially Miguel, you’re a true Star!“

“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.“

“The food and service are excellent. Our server was outstanding and attentive. One of the deserts was okay because they started running out of it. On the whole, great experience and it is worthwhile to pay the price for a great atmosphere, service, and food.“

“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+!“

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

“I ordered a pizza for delivery, was outside their range technically but it let me order on their website and they delivered the pizza which I needed after a disaster of a day so respect.

Also they have anchovies and so many pizza places don't now the heathens.

Pizza is good, will order pickup next time though lol“

“Great tapas. Lots of flavor“

“Fabulous like the sister one in south end“

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

“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 had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“
