50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants West Newton

“Andrew and Collin run a smooth wine bar where your drink doesn’t get empty because they are so attentive to making sure you are taken care of. The food was delish! The ambiance was friendly. I’m from the burbs, but will be back to enjoy Flora’s again. Thanks gents☺️“

“Hidden in the residential area is the best lobster roll I have ever eaten! The weather was nice last weekend, so this lobster lover finally came to check out the lobster roll at this seafood shop. Lobster sandwich: It is obviously just ordinary bread, but it is fried until fragrant and then filled with thick fresh lobster meat. It only needs simple seasoning - a little mayonnaise, salt, black pepper and green onions to highlight the freshness and sweetness of the lobster. The bread is fried in butter but not greasy, and the cold lobster meat tastes fresh and chewy, not fishy at all, and basically uses the meat from the lobster body, unlike the lobsterroll in many restaurants that is cooked with tongs. It tasted so delicious, so I asked specifically, thinking that some magical sauce was added to the seasoning, but I didn't expect it to be that simple. wonderful! (The price is slightly more expensive now, $35 each.)After finishing one, I bought a second one and continued eating it in the evening.From now on, I will eat here probably once a week, it is very good! !I went and bought two more yesterday^ ^ Delicious!“

“Exquisite pastries. The hazelnut cream, the tarte au citron were 2 of my favorites. The meringue on the tarte was so airy, the hazelnut flavor light and moreish. Coffee eclairs have a depth of flavor...and well the chocolate fondant and cake were all one could expect. Very buzzy at 11 am and service with a smile!“

“The oysters are amazing!! Came in with my dad, and had one of the best meals ever! We ordered A Tale of Two Oysters, and is the way to go. This way we both could try all 8 of the day’s oysters. Hailey was our server, and was absolutely amazing. She brought over paper menus to make it easier, as my father didn’t have his phone with him. She was attentive, engaging, and just a joy to be around. She treated each able as if they were her only table, and was great at explaining and offering suggestions. We will definitely be back!!“

“Jinny’s has been our favorite pizza since they opened. Everything is amazing from the pizzas to the appetizers and the service is 10/10. The pepperoni pizza and caesar salad are a must! The ‘mike’s hot honey’ is great added on to the pizza. Don’t forget to add a buttermilk ranch dippin’ sauce for the crust.We do both dine in and take out. Seating is pretty limited so plan ahead. No reservations. Worth the wait! They move quick too.“

“Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street offers a delightful gelato experience, with excellent service, a charming interior, and high-quality, flavorful gelato that sets it apart.Full/Extended Version:My visit to Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street was a delightful experience from start to finish. Located in a bustling area full of enticing bubble tea spots, restaurants, and a nearby Trader Joe's, Amorino stands out as a gem for gelato lovers.One of the highlights of my visit was the exceptional service we received. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their gelato offerings, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The interior of the gelateria was charming, with a cozy ambiance that invited us to sit and savor our gelato.But the true star of the show was, of course, the gelato itself. Amorino's gelato is a cut above the rest, offering a natural denser, richer flavor than traditional ice cream. Each scoop was bursting with flavor, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The variety of flavors and the way they were presented, shaped like a blooming flower, added to the overall experience.Whether you're in the mood for a classic flavor like stracciatella or something more adventurous like mango or pistachio, you can expect nothing but the best from Amorino. Each flavor we tried was delicious, and it was clear that a lot of care and attention went into crafting each batch of gelato.If you're in the mood for some delicious gelato in a charming setting with excellent service, look no further than Amorino Gelato on Newbury Street. It's a perfect spot to satisfy your sweet tooth and indulge in a scoop (or two) of high-quality, flavorful gelato.“

“The food is nice and surprisingly tasty. The falafel is nicely presented and shawarma is on point! The plate serving is big in my opinion. The staff is very nice and always smiling!! Highly recommend for tourist whose looking for a local taste“

“One of the best breweries in Boston with the coolest vibe. The beers are super fresh and they have such a great variety between IPAs, lagers, porters & sours. Super friendly bartenders and a beautiful, spacious patio which is perfect for the warmer months. Plus they have great coffee!“

“We had a blast trying candle pin bowling for the first time! Such a cute and friendly establishment. Alexander and Jim were great hosts and very helpful as it was our first time. Our waitress was very kind too. Yummy flatbread pizza and drinks. The bowling is fun, fast paced, and so unique. You learn self scoring and they provide the scoring sheets & pencils. You can get food and drink delivered to your bowling area. I highly encourage reservations but they are also flexible with walk in if you arrive early enough! Would totally go back and definitely recommend for some different and fun.“

“Had a great dinner with family on my birthday! The restaurant was packed with happy diners and the staff was extra accommodating as we waited a few mins for our table to be cleared and reset. The hostess knew we were celebrating and made it an extra special experience. All of the food was delicious - both during dinner and as leftovers (even the bread!). Can't wait to bring the family back here again soon.“

“We stayed at the Marriott Boston Copley Place and was able to walk here through the bridge. The Pru is a mixed-use center with many stores, restaurants, and offices. It is the second largest building in Boston with 52 floors with over 60,000 visitors per day.At one of the stores, View Boston, you can pay $24.99 pp to ride up the elevator to the 50th-52nd floor to get a 360 view of Boston. There are parking garages, just make sure you bring the ticket with you to get it validated by one of the stores. The T is also nearby for easy transportation access. This place is seriously in a convenient location and walkable to any of the popular landmarks.On Saturday, I started my morning with a latte from Blue Bottle then brunch at Eataly. This place is huge and busy, definitely a tourist destination. I felt safe walking here during the day and night, since there were security everywhere. We did notice some mice in the evening near the garden area; looks like they have a colony there and escaping the cold?If you get bored, you can cross the bridge and go to Copley Mall, Yard House, Starbucks, or outside. There is also an open green space with seating and a water fountain in the middle of the center. I don't think you will be bored! Overall, we had a great stay in the hotel connected to this place.“

“I always get the classic with house mayo, and it’s made perfectly every time (seriously, how do they get a runny egg so perfect?). It’s the perfect breakfast sandwich to start off my day, and it’s so affordable (under $10!) I swear my life improves just a little bit every time I eat my favorite breakfast sandwich at Mike & Patty’s.“

“They have lots of interesting dishes that you don’t usually find in a sushi restaurant in the US. The location is also great, with lots of restaurants and pubs nearby. They also have metered street parking nearby.Parking: Paid street parking from Mon/Sat during the day. Evenings and Sundays are free.“

“This was my first ever Tatte location I went to. It was warm out so I sat outside for a nice view. Got the prosciutto toast with pesto and goat cheese and now it’s my go to Tatte dish. Their honey halva house latte is a must try too - also my go to Tatte drink.“

“Such friendly service and warm atmosphere! Love the interior, the booths were comfortable to sit at! Loved the personal photos on the wall and the bright colors of the decor. It was hard to choose what to pick since everything sounded wonderful. The hummus and cucumber mint dip with the hot pita were the best start with! Could have eaten just that for lunch but had to try the bowls. The falafels were crispy on the inside and soft and inviting in the inside. You could taste and see the freshness of all the ingredients! The mint lemonade, get yourself a pitcher! Finished with the homemade baklava, oh my gosh, so freaking flavorful! The family owned restaurant is top notch! Even if your not a vegetarian, you will enjoy the flavors and variety, also you will be full for the rest of the day! Looking forward to coming back next time in the area!“

“Our waiter, Rodolfo was the kindest and most supportive waiter I have ever encountered. The food was some of the best I have ever tasted. This along with the assistance showed and his positive, upbeat attitude made my experience at this place one which stood out of many. Overall an amazing experience which should be shared among many. ???Vegetarian options: Delicious noodlesKid-friendliness: Had food everyone could enjoy ?“

“This is a hidden gem! We came in here after a bike ride for coffee and an egg sandwich. The egg sandwich was on a homemade biscuit and one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The baked goods were unbelievable. The owner, Ramona, is so sweet. We will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend you check this place out!“

“The menu is quite expansive, so this is a good catering option. I love middle eastern/Mediterranean food, so I’ve tried a lot of different places in Boston. Compared to other places, I wouldn’t say Sultana’s makes the cut for my favorites, but it wasn’t bad.- Spinach feta quiche: The portion size is good, but the flavor was bland. I wasn’t able to finish it.- Cookies: The cookies weren’t overly sweet, which I liked. They were crumbly yet soft.- Fruit yogurt pastry: This was my favorite. I liked that they are bite-sized (though, this is also dangerous because you’ll end up eating a lot). The pastry was flaky, and the yogurt was sweet, which balanced the tartness of the fruits.- Caprice acma: I wasn’t a fan of this. The acma was too doughy. Maybe it would have tasted better warm.Happy to have tried a new place, but I probably wouldn’t come back.“

“Such a great experience at the Stockyard. It was our first time there and did not disappoint! The space is huge and the atmosphere is great - feels like an authentic steakhouse. We came with a party of 4 and had the calamari, filet mignon, prime rib, whipped potatoes, creamed spinach, baked potato and asparagus. The steaks were some of the most delicious I’ve ever had (if you like blue cheese, they bring you a lot as a topping on steak for the price) and all of the sides were fresh. A great stop for a special occasion, to watch a game or to come for a date night. We will definitely be back!“

“I walked in today and ordered a simple coconut cake for my husband’s birthday. The cake was ready in a couple of hours. Service was amazing, the lady who took the order was super nice and attentive; she also helped me a lot in selecting a cake. This cake tastes insanely great, is super soft, moisture well, and not super sweet, that's exactly what I wanted!“

“Located near Harvard Square, we strolled around and came upon this dessert haven. They have a ton of flavors to choose from, and they give out samples if requested. It wasn't crowded when I came, so we didn't have an issue perusing the selection, which includes desserts beyond gelato. We went with the dulce de leche and the hazelnut, both of which were packed with flavor. One scoop as a bigger scoop than others, but I am happy to get a little extra, just noting it wasn't consistent. There are a few tables inside to sit and enjoy or it's a handy treat to take around and walk.“

“Love this place and the owners, Rosemary and Hydn! They are welcoming and have a fun assortment of fabulous nutritious drinks, smoothies, and snacks. Kids are welcome too and can even get their own special small drink. So happy to have them in the neighborhood!“

“My recent visit to Busy Bee Restaurant for breakfast left me feeling like I had stepped into a cozy home. The warm ambiance set the stage for a delightful dining experience. The staff, especially our waiter, went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. Their genuine friendliness and proactive service made us feel truly valued. Now, let's talk about the food. It was delicious! Generous portions at reasonable prices, cooked to perfection. Overall, Busy Bee Restaurant exceeded our expectations with its welcoming atmosphere, impeccable service, and mouthwatering food. Highly recommended!“

“Really delicious steaks, I loved the plantain and fried cassava bits. A variety of items at the salad bar, and nice side dishes. Servers were amazing. The Cajà fresh juice was really good!!! The only observation would be to make sure the line to self-served dishes should be on the other side to clear off the front area near the dessert counter. Other than that the food was outstanding. Definitely visit again!“

“Even from the menu, you could tell that this is authentically Brazilian. They offer many authentic topping options, such as brigadeiros. This place is significantly better than those chain açai and juice spots in town. However, the price was very high!“

“One of the best vegetarian burrito options I've ever had – the tofu adobo is decadently sauced, the rice is very well seasoned, and the add-ons were delicious as they were abundant. Can't recommend highly enough!Vegetarian options: Their tofu adobo option for protein is amazing – from there you can customize the burrito of your dreams! They also have a number of sides that are veg-friendly.“

“Went in to dine for the first time yesterday specifically to try the Bun Rieu (a seasonal special for just this weekend using fresh crabs from Gloucester!). It was absolutely incredible. You could taste the love and care put into the many hours it took to prepare each component of the dish. The crab roe cake and broth in particular were spectacular. I felt like I was eating Michelin star soup and it was worth every penny for the price of ingredients and labor. I have a lot of respect for the head chef and kitchen staff for the extraordinary amount of work, thought, and love they expend bringing authentic, fresh, and exciting Vietnamese cuisine to eastern Massachusetts. We ate our soup with fried dough and a mango smoothie with boba. What’s not to love? We will be following the Instagram page to stay up to date on the special seasonal soups they make every week or two. Thanks Viet Citron!“

“We stumbled upon this place while shopping and were so happy we did. I had a chicken sandwich, my husband tried the Classic and the ‘Merica, and our kids had the fries and chicken tenders. Everything was delicious. We rate it a 10 out of 10! Also, our waitress was amazing. I wish I could remember her name. Try Crazy Good Kitchen, you won’t be disappointed!“

“delicious ice cream from what seems to be a small mom and pop shop! they have plenty of interesting flavors as well as the classic flavors. I ordered their cookies and cream ice cream which was delicious. their scoops are generous and they have plenty of sizes to choose from. they also have a variety in cones which allow for endless combinations. their staff is so sweet and make sure to provide you with the best service. they a small bar where you can eat your ice cream and only two chairs outside. it seems more like a grab and go place with people going to explore the area after ordering.“

“great sandwich pairings and a decent bagel assortment-- wish they didn't only have certain options on the weekend though. the ambiance here though is unbeatable, extremely cozy and a great place to eat and catch up with friends! also a great to-go.“

“Such a cute cafe and neighborhood gem! The iced coffee is strong and delicious for a reasonable price. Love the long list of sweet and unsweetened flavor options, especially lavender! Would also recommend trying the pastries, my favorite is the Guava square.Have had lovely chats with the cafe owner and helpful tips from the baristas. Overall a feel good place to try and always makes my Sunday morning.“

“Local staple! Incredibly important and high quality restaurant with awesome awesome awesome food I love depasquales. All the subs and dinners are amazing. I wish they were open more but all truly bangin restaurants have short hours to keep you on a short leash. Highly recommend the chicken cutlet, chicken parm, and caprese sandwiches but everything's good. Eggplant parm is good if youre vegetarian“

“The Zaatar flatbread was great if you like the taste of Zaatar. The Chicken Shawarma is the second best in Massachusetts. It's reflects the flavor of a true Lebanese Chicken Sharma upto a great extent (except, the flavor was really light). But the chicken seemed a little dry and the size of the shawarma is a little small for the price.“

“Everything that I’ve ever eaten there was top notch and cooked to perfection!! I’m a foodie and can tell they use top quality ingredients, while maintaining affordable prices!! You can tell that the owner & chef, Juan, has a passion for cooking. I travel from Revere Beach for his food and it’s worth the trip!!!“

“note: cash only! interior is dark with wooden booths and stools, making for a cozy but lively pub, but one where you can still have conversations with some friends. drinks were pretty good, with a wide selection of beer and cider, and the bartender was quick and efficient.“

“Excellent lil shop, excellent service. The croons were out of the world. We have been looking for good quality croons and other than amorino , I didn’t like anything. But now I have a new favourite place. I got 6, I ate two of them because of couldn’t resist it and I couldn’t help but write a positive review about this business. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for some high quality croons and coffee ( especially the dirty chai latter )“

“The beer deserves five stars, but the atmosphere is seriously lacking on weekends when the place is overrun by children. Have been coming for years and will continue to do so, but I wish it felt more welcoming for adults without children or adults who are out to get a break from their children.“

“I was charged $19.75 for four macarons and previously wrote a negative review. Recognizing there had been a mistake, the owner reached out with an apology, explained the proper pricing, promised to train the sales clerk accordingly, and refunded my purchase due to the mistake. Thank you!“

“Super cute and spacious cafe for a quick bite to eat. This Tatte location is my go-to when I'm visiting Longwood. The service is always great, and I usually go for the chicken pita. It's very delicious, packed with chicken and fresh veggies, and I really enjoy the tzaziki sauce. It's a little bit messy, but delicious regardless. I'm looking forward to trying their coffees and drinks next time!“

“First time I tried the pizza by Pizza by Rocco and let me tell you guys, I absolutely loved it , the sauce taste amazing it was cooked just about right not burned or light cook like most places , just on point , I will definitely be coming back and I have my eyes on the Buffalo chicken on next ?Good job keep it up guys ??“

“Love this place! The bagels are great quality and so fresh! Quick service as it always seems to be busy! I got the egg and cheese on an onion bagel and also tried a chocolate sprinkle doughnut! No pictures of the food, couldn't wait to eat them!“

“I come to farmers horse (or order delivery) several times a week - it is consistently amazing! The best coffee, pastries, and bagel sandwiches that you’ll find in the city and the staff is incredible! The pumpkin muffin and banana bread are 10/10!“

“I can't say enough good things about this brewery. The staff was incredibly hospitable and knowledgable. Some of the best lagers I have ever tasted, which is not to be taken lightly given their difficulty to perfect. Next time I make my way up from NJ this is at the top of my list, cheers!“

“Solid Burger Place with an even greater staff. Love the vibes too! I got the Big Tasty and the ingredients were pretty fresh. I liked the tasty sauce too I had to get some extra on the side. Well seasoned patty and our table was clean and neat when they sat us down. Planning to come again!“

“Great building and a wonderful quaint restaurant is inside. Cozy seating in several small rooms. The menu includes seafood and pastas and more. My date started with the zucchini fritters and then had the fish and chips. I had the kale salad with salmon. My only complaint with my food was the hot salmon wilted the kale. I was just expecting a crisp salad. Not to worry though. Wine was a generous pour. Our waiter, Jeffrey was fantastic. Very attentive. There was live music playing starting at 6 PM which was a nice surprise. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Probably best to make a reservation as it's a small space.“

“Great Irish Bar! We stopped on our way back from seeing the Queen concert at TD Gardens. It was late so the kitchen had closed. We're not from the Boston area, but we felt really welcomed. Live music had left, but the music on playtunes was great! The bartender, was so friendly. My only regret is that this bar isn't where we live. When we come back to Somerville, Sally O'Brien's is a warm & friendly bar. A must stop! Thank you.“

“The perfect ending to the perfect wedding. We had Frosty come towards the end of my son's wedding reception as a surprise to everyone. After a fun night of eating, drinking and dancing it was the perfect ending. What fun so many guests posted pictures having an ice cream. The attendant was fun and helpful and moved quickly. I highly recommend Frosty for any occasion, who doesn't love an ice cream!“

“Super cute place, even on a rainy afternoon it was still pretty busy. The ice cream was good, it was nice having the fresh fruit mixed in but nothing crazy. The kiddie size feels a bit expensive - I got a regular and my friend got a small kiddie size, and I think my regular was about double the size for only an extra dollar.“

“I went to Paul Baier’ Woodstock AI meetup at The Smoke Shop in Kendall Square and met some amazing people. The service was good, I had an Irish coffee while meeting with everyone at the place which was very accommodating to our event. It was great ??“

“My partner and I ate/worked at Coffee Turco and loved it. Would definitely recommend and will be returning. Our server Amir was incredibly kind and helpful. I ate most my food too fast to grab a photo but will attach photos of what I could.“
