Best Fine Dining Restaurants in North Reading

From start to finish our meal at Post was perfect. Our server Luis was outstanding. He provided us with detailed explanations of our selections and guided us through our order. Steak was top shelf, and both the Scallop dish and Crab Cakes were outstanding. Why drive to Boston when we have so many great steakhouses on the North Shore!

While pricey, La Fina is a top restaurant with impeccable food and service. Kind and friendly (not stuffy) atmosphere Management walking around, offering kind words, very visible

We were late to the Burlington, MA Eddie V.s' party, but had enjoyed dinner with friends at the Pittsburgh location a few weeks ago. Even that pleasant occasion had not prepared us for the remarkably successful visit we enjoyed two nights ago. The Burlington location was much larger than I had anticipated, and the place was almost full on a busy Friday evening at 7:00. We were greeted with friendly professionalism at the front desk and shown to a pleasant booth, nicely located on the periphery of the main dining area. We were quickly welcomed by our very attentive waitperson Andrew, and the evening commenced with well-crafted cocktails and a perusal of the extensive menu, which looked to be mostly identical with that in Pittsburgh. I know that Eddie V.'s is a "chain" restaurant, but I was pleased to note that many of the negatives usually associated with "chains" don't apply here. Service was first-class, the food excellent - lobster bisque and prime NY strip steak for me, four plump and fresh oysters and Hong Kong-styled miso and ginger-bathed "sea bass" for my wife. We also shared a delicious wedge salad, notable for its crispy, impeccable freshness and delicious bleu cheese dressing. As the evening stretched on, we were impressed by the bussing personnel and waitstaff's attention to clearing off tables that had been vacated, and their re-setting of those tables for guests yet to arrive. Pet peeve: I don't like sitting in nice restaurants surrounded by tables with dirty dishes and glassware. Not a chance here. The service brigade immediately cleared each vacant table and re-set them with new flatware sets, fresh napery, and, at each table, someone was diligently polishing the newly-set glassware. This may not be important to some diners, but to me it indicated an admirable attention to professionalism. So, Bravo, Eddie V's.! You succeeded in impressing this very picky diner and his equally hard-to-impress wife. We'll surely return. Thank you!

The entire experience was fantastic from drinks and apps to dessert. Food was top notch and our server Louis awesome! He made the experience great just as much as the food.

Rocco's has a good selection of dishes and appetizers, and is affordable. Lots of townies seem to congregate to the bar also. I'd eat there again.
