Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Waltham

Thanksgiving dinner was memorable. We ordered three of the main courses: turkey, venison, and steak. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. The suggested wine pairing went well with the dishes. Service was great, and the maïtre D made us feel truly at home. We were lucky to get the room with the gas fireplace--all in all a delicious and cozy experience. The restaurant made us feel like family!

The tuna ceviche is a must try. Oysters are served at perfectly cold temps with plenty of horseradish! The brussel sprouts are delicious. The scallops are amazing and a good sized portion. Green goddess salad is great and you can add protein too! Cocktail list is varied and seasonal. Wine list is varied and affordable. Great spot

We had a delightful meal at Tresca. The space is open, not elbow to elbow and you can actually have a conversation! Food is fresh, honest and flavorful, with new and classic dishes to suit everyone. But the standout is the excellent and attentive service; what a great team and the owner is there making sure all goes smoothly. We are local and have eaten many times in the North End and Tresca is like being with family. Bravo!

This was our first visit to Buttery. We had difficulty getting to the restaurant as their is only residential parking in the area and we are not from the area. It was also raining so we got soaked getting there. But none the less, the dinner was wonderful. Our entrees of a hummus burger and salad as well as the deep fried cod and fries were great. We also had an apple tart for dessert as well as some huge focasia bread which was a meal in itself. All good. We definitely will visit a gain in the future. I need suggestions for parking since I am handicapped.

Another wonderful meal and evening at Pammy’s, this time for a birthday celebration with a party of 5. Price-Fixe menu was great. I loved the Cobia and Squid Ink gnocchi. I was too full to complete the lumache, but took it home and it was excellent the next day. The lamb saddle, yakitori chicken and lasagna also got excellent reviews. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful and attentive.
