Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in West Newton

Had a great time. The staff was friendly and attentive. I had the lamb shank for my meal. The grilled shrimp appetizer was delicious, I would come back just for that. I managed to say a little room for dessert and it was well worth it.

Plenty of parking. Food and the service were excellent. Met old friends and we needed time to catch up. We didn't feel rushed at all.

I really loved the Turbot and roasted carrots. The Bourguinon, escargots, and salmon fume were all good but not exceptional. The crust of the tarte tartin dessert, however, was soggy. Overall we liked the restaurant except for the very loud family seated next to us that also had a child that would shriek every so often. I think they also added an extra soda to the bill by mistake...there were 6 on the bill and I know I only had 2 (there were 2 of us). It should be noted that the Tarte Tartin dessert had nuts scattered around the plate even though it was not mentioned on the menu (my son is allergic). They brought a "new" one without nuts on the plate but my son was a little afraid to eat it because the same garnish (a strawberry that was sliced to look like a flower that he had taken a little bite out of) was on the new plate - not sure about the piece of tart.

Drinks were very good, wines were great, food was fantastic, cooked to perfection.

We ordered shrimp scampi, fish with chips and the fish tacos… as always the food was delicious!
