Great restaurant - drinks delicious and food high quality, but they need to upgrade their wireless in the restaurant. Service is very spotty.

Solid neighborhood, family-friendly restaurant. Wife and I got various tacos which we thought were good. "Good" I know is not a ringing endorsement, but it is not intended as a slight. The food was good enough to warrant a return visit if we were looking for a reliable southwestern-style meal. The cocktails we had were not very good. Between us, we had a Paloma, Spicy Margarita, and a vodka based drink with watermelon juice. All the cocktails tasted quite watered down such that it was difficult to discern the base spirit. We weren't looking for strong cocktails at all, but these were very weak. Beyond the food, the service was very good... attentive, friendly, and quick.

Well prepared and served ! Creative menu with thoughtful gluten free options. We will return soon!

The food was good as were the cocktails but it's noisy. In addition, we sat for some time at the bar, with 3 bartenders, and not all the stools were full and the restaurant not busy, before someone took our order or served us. We won't be running back.

As someone with celiac disease I was glad to see many menu options marked GF. However, when I got there I was disappointed to hear that items marked GF didn't meet the requirements for possible cross contamination, primarily because they don't have a dedicated fryer. I was able to order something but my options were very limited.

Loved the food. lived the service. loved the atmosphere. The trivia game made it a bit difficult to have a c9ncersation or even make our food order without shouting at times, but the food was quite good. Sam, our server knew the menu, and swevwd with the joyful dispoaituon i would want ro have servees represent me if it were my business. I asked for his favorite dish and ordered the same, the spiced salmon. The Nachos with Short Rib meat was phenomenal. one of the best nachos I have had. I ate thw spiced same large plate .... was outstanding. A mix of sweet and hot in the perfect proportion. The bed of perfectly cooked sweet potoatos with just a little snap. was quite impressed with how well they got these just right. I also ordered a taco thay tated like a chessburger. was quite good. I think the over all flavor overpowered the salmon. proportions were perfect, but just about 20% less of it would allow thw salmon to come through a bit more. My wife and friend had the salmon bowl with rice. My other friend had a harvest bowl with chicken. FYI thw chicken is shredded, not grilled. I think that made it feel more like chicken salad. Had church's and coffee for desert. chocolate and caramel dipping. Was good. My wife had ices cream waffle. She asked for no chocolate sauce (its warmed up hersheys - not hot fudge) and caramel. All they had was whipped cream. no nuts or other toppings gs for thw ice cream. I would return.

I hosted a private party here for my wife’s 30th birthday and the whole experience was amazing. We love Lockheart to begin with, and I was very excited to surprise her with a celebration at one of our favorite Wellesley spots.
Elyssa was very responsive through the planning process and even ordered us a special bottle of spiritless tequila specifically for us. Angel was a great bartender and the entire evening was so special thanks to their support.
We’ll definitely be returning to Lockheart whenever we find ourselves in Wellesley!

This place is great! Parking behind the restaurant is easy enough. There are two levels. Our waiter was great and attentive. Our drinks were great and the birria tacos were amazing! Will definitely be back!

This place gave us COVID! I hadn't seen my friend in months and we met up here last Saturday. Sunday we were both really sick and I was diagnosed with a horrible level of illness. Service wasn't the greatest.

The snack we ordered, half tray of Nachos came out very quickly after we just ordered. The were intermittently cold, with some warm and very cold spots. We ate it but it really wasn't that enjoyable but we were hungry.
Great casual place, good food and awesome, friendly service. Has become our go-to for lunch and spur of the moment meals.

The employee who served me, Caitlyn I think was her name, couldn’t stop flirting with her coworkers long enough to get me my drink. Highly unprofessional. Everyone else seems to treat their tables the same. Slow service with water glasses left empty and people having to flag their server down to get what they needed. No different than any other sleazy restaurant employees I guess. I expected more from a place in Wellesley. I won’t be back, shame cause the tacos were good. The owner should really reevaluate who they hired. It completely ruined my experience.

Our lunch was very nice and the restaurant has a lovely decor. The salads were a bit small however, if you were going to order one, you may want to also order an appetizer to make it a meal.

This was a second time at restaurant. Good, lively atmosphere for a Wed night. Food was good. Unfortunately, service was very, very slow and had trouble getting attention of our server on multiple occasions. Server apologized 3 or 4 times for delays. We were rather anxious to leave after 2 hours.

Food was OK, nothing special. Have had far better mexican, tex-mex. Other members of our party liked their Poke bowls saying they were good.
