Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Somerville

The food was AMAZING! We asked for one cut of beef and a lot of siders to try out. My girls asked for kids food and was super delicious too. The drinks are amazing. Recomendo for a celebration destination.

This was an absolutely amazing experience!!! We came for lunch and were blown away!! Damon was our server and was such a wonderful help. There were so many things on the menu we wanted to try, that he suggested we make them into courses and even had items split for us, so both of us could try. The lobster bisque in itself was AMAZING!!! Lobster in every bite, warm and creamy... the perfect food for the weather in BOSTON...Honestly, I could have stopped with the bisque...but the tuna/noodle salad came...my husband had the oysters and tuna tartar...Then we split the WELLINGTON...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...life should really offer more WELLINGTON!!! It was PERFECT... We Love Boston and her food, but the MOO was all that...definitely will be Back....super shout out to Damon for walking us through the menu and helping us... the splitting of the wellington was brilliant... Thank you MOO!!!

Amazing service on busy Valentine's Day! Our server paced our orders perfectly. Excellent cocktails. Lovely Caesar salad and shrimp scampi for starters. Our server checked on us often and bus staff were on top of clearing at just the right time. Tables are very small and crowd easily! Barely any elbow room. ( Our only nit pick) Delicious boar ragu over parpadelle and a likewise veal/ braised beef stuffed pasta were al dente and beautifully presented. Huge wine list. We split a pistachio semifreddo- we were stuffed and happy!

Grill 23 on Valentine's Day was as spectacular as usual. We started out with the Seafood Tower, had a French Onion Soup, followed it with a Wedge Salad, and then the Rib Eye. Food was awesome as ever and the bread basket was filled with great goodies such as corn bread, raisin pumpernickel, and more. The extensive wine list provided a lot of choices and we started with a Paul Hobbs and ended with a Screaming Eagle.

We have heard about Contessa for well over a year and finally got there. It was worth the wait. Ride to the 17th floor of the Newbury and enter another world - one of tastefully sumptuous ambience with superb "welcome to Contessa" service and food to die for. The view is amazing, especially from the tables for two along the windows, but make no mistake, this is not a view restaurant. A little pricey, but fair value, and the food is so delicious that we were sorry when each course came to an end. Parking is a challenge (other than an expensive valet option) but in good weather, nearby garages are less than a 10 minute walk. Give it a try! We are sorry we waited so long to get here.
