Restaurants near Elm Bank Horticulture Center

We had a booth which was lovely for our book club discussion. Our server was excellent and we each had the grain salads, which were excellent! We had a lovely evening!

It has been over 2 decades since I last ate here! Ownership has changed and the menu probably has as well. What you would expect of an Italian restaurant in terms of food and quality of seafood was good. Mussels appetizer had 2 of 30 (or so) that didn't open. Branzino was a good size and cooked well. Service was perhaps a bit overly attentive at the beginning as if they were in a rush for us to order by asking us every couple of minutes if we were ready, but once we did, never felt rushed to leave the table the rest of the night.

We had an amazing time. The service was absolutely fantastic. Thank you Shannon! There were 4 of us. We ordered meatballs and pork belly apps. Cesar salads (we got 2 and they split them for us in the kitchen) - good sizes. All delicious. For entrée we had, short ribs, sirloin steak, Kansas City steak and twin petit filet mignon. All perfectly cooked and very tasty. We complimented the meals with asparagus, spinach and hash browns. For dessert we got ice cream, chocolate explosion and key lime. All very good as well. This is the type of experience we look for when we get together every month for dinner! We shall return!

Always a great meal. The meal took a while to come out but it was fabulous!

Still the best place to have lunch in the Wellesley Needham area. My go to lunch destination.
