Best Bistros in Watertown

My husband took me to the chestnut hill location for my bday and our food was amazing. Since we had family in town for the holidays, we decided to go to the Tremont st location. It did not disappoint. The escargot were as good as any I had in Paris, a lot of flavor. We also got the French onion soup which was delicious and fitting for a cold Boston evening. Lotsssss of cheese! Our entree was a duck and mushroom risotto that they split for us- also very good. We will definitely be back but probably for special occasions as it is on the expensive side.

From the moment we walked in it was amazing- staff, drinks, escargot, dinner and dessert did not disappoint!

My partner and I came her two years ago when we were visiting Boston and decided to come back this year since we were back in town. We always sit at the countertop and always have fabulous service and amazing food! The Oysters, Hamachi Crudo, Mussels, Beet Salad, and Halibut are our favorites! John, Ben and Angel Daniel were amazing servers! Looking forward to coming back next time we are in town!

The restaurant was not busy on a Wednesday noon. Diego our server was attentive and pleasant. The food, fried chicken sandwiches ($20) was tasty. Wine ($16) and beer ($13) were fine but pricey. The view is magnificent. We enjoyed our leisurely meal. I imagine it is a different experience when the place is crowded as they said it often is. Strangely everyone was friendly except the hostess who greeted us initially. We arrived 2 minutes before noon and she scowled and told us to wait outside. Go figure.

This was an overall great experience. Service and food were great and the seating comfortable. When we arrived we were struck by the very high noise level which sometimes makes it hard for a conversation. It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday evening. All the staff was very friendly, cheerful and efficient. Thank you!
