New American Restaurants near Wayland, MA

“Really amazing steak tips!“

“The food was great!! The service, I should say our service was very poor. We waited over 47 minutes before we were served our meals. The problem was not the kitchen because a couple who came in after us was served before us. It was the wait staff.“

“If you’re looking for the best place to eat in Needham, Cook is unequivocally it. The quality of the food is outstanding, and the only thing that rivals it is the exceptional service from the entire staff.

A special shoutout to Johnny. His genuine commitment to making every guest’s experience a great one is first class.

Cook has set the standard for what a neighborhood restaurant should be. In my opinion, it’s the best restaurant in Needham. It isn’t even close!“

“Whipped Feta Dip was incredible. Nashville Chicken Sandwich with hot honey was great. My wife had a Fancy salad with grilled chicken that looked too healthy for me, but she raved about it. Service was great, everybody we interacted with was smart, friendly and upbeat. I'm eager to return.“

“I went yesterday with my friend and had a fantastic experience. The food is delicious and the environment is delightful. Highly recommend.“

“80 Thoreau is our favorite, quality local restaurant in Concord, MA. It never disappoints. We enjoyed their seasonal "Sea Bass" tasting menu. The crudo was something very memorable, and the suggested wine pairing was excellent. Emily was very helpful, and the entire staff contributed to make the meal a pleasurable experience.“

“We have had breakfast lunch at Eli’s several times, and have always had a great experience. Creative offerings, delicious food, large portions, great service. If we lived closer, we would eat there more often. Highly recommend!“

“Had been eyeing this place for a while, went in with low expectations/skepticism given my history with bad bar food experiences at other restaurants.
This place exceeded my expectations, thanks to the excellent customer service provided by Paige our server. She was warm, welcoming and personable, made some great recommendations. On top of that the food was way above the average bar food.“

“We all loved the wonderful atmosphere. The food was delicious! There were 5 in our group. We all ordered something different and everyone was pleased.“

“Hidden gem! Classic bar with insanely good cocktails and food but keeping it real. Beet salad could compete with any high end restaurant. Smash burger and fries - no words. Oh pickle plate is a must - classic sweet to the unexpected root veg and snow pea mix. Great beers new and old. The bartender Mike brings it. He's cool and chill and makes the best subtle recommendations. Great fun to talk with. Great music, great vibe. Already planing a trip back for the reuben. Simple menu done right.“

“Blue On Highland is hands down my favorite restaurant in New England. Food is always top notch, drinks are top-tier, and service is impeccable. going back again soon!“

“If I need to stop on the Mass Pike, I always try to make sure it's at one of the rest stops with a Cheesey Street.
The food is delicious, and it's great to support small business.
Which sandwich to get is always a hard decision, but I usually get either the Caprese or the classic 3 cheese, sometimes with bacon.“

“always excellent meals and sides“

The rib dinner is my favorite, I’ve had it three weeks in a row. ITS THAT GOOD! Chef Dan has quite the imagination to excite the customers with a changing menu for the seasons.“

“I just discovered this gem after moving from Philly to Natick 2 years ago. I am obsessed. It was like I was eating my mom’s or grandmom’s best and freshest homemade soups (which nothing has ever been able to compare to until now). Low sodium options are amazing - you can’t find from scratch, quality ingredient made stuff like this easily. I will be a regular customer!“

“This place is great! The service was amazing, especially from the gentleman that served me yesterday. He was very friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure I enjoyed everything. The food was delicious and the patio is a great space. For a good drink, I recommend their Mai Tai! I would definitely go back.“

“I haven’t visited a Nordstrom Cafe in around 10 years, but was pleasantly surprised to see that everything was as spectacular as ever. The food was easily better than most other dining options in the area, it’s definitely not a spot that should be overlooked! They also had great gluten free options and took my allergy very seriously. 10/10“

“Jackie- the Friday Night bartender is beyond phenomenal! Had the best laughs and shakes the best drinks! The food always comes out promptly and exactly how we ordered.“

“Kens steak house is a metro west gem! The reasonably priced meals, quality of the food, and very friendly wait staff. This is my wife and my “go to” restaurant when we want a great meal at a reasonable price, When you waking into Kens it feel “comfortable” like it’s your own home . The wait staff are so friendly and patient. They never rush you and are very knowledgeable about the menu. The steaks are the specialty of the house. Each time we’ve had steak it was cooked yo perfection! The drink prices are reasonable and the desserts taste home made! Great place and I hope they are around for many more years!!“

“Awesome staff and management; both go above and beyond to enhance your experience“

“Great view of river, which I requested and easy ♿ access which we needed both in parking and table/doorways. Servers were polite! Would suggest adding more dessert choices tho the cheesecake round was good quality. Also, vacuuming happened nearby but we stayed from 1pm thru 245pm chatting. Thanks for the free parking“

“Outstanding Wagyu rib eye!“

“My first time at the restaurant and I loved everything in general, the bartender's service and the general manager He talked to us and was super friendly and attentive, I would definitely come back and recommend it to all my friends and acquaintances
Thanks so much for my good experience“
