   A consistently excellent dining experience. If possible I would give it 4.5 stars in all respects, not quite as good as the very best places in the Boston area, but not far from that. Everything I have ever ordered is excellent. Parking is easy, no traffic. Tables by the windows are best - request those if you can. Unfortunately several tables, one of which we were seated at, directly adjacent to a noisy open kitchen, which significantly diminished the experience.

   The food reproducibly tends to be overly salted and this night was no exception. Interesting new options on the menu but I do think the asparagus main course was very over priced for what was delivered. Service is always attentive and it remains one of the best restaurants in the Boston suburbs

   All went well. Any hiccup was fixed swiftly. Lovely appetizer (eggplant) and entrees (chicken, sea bass). My wife did not want dessert and yet she ate half of the financier :)

   We've been to 80Thoreau a number of times and have always had an enjoyable experience. However, our last visit was the best yet. The food (veal for my wife and duck for me) along with appetizers and a cheese plate for dessert were really tasty, well prepared and beautifully presented. The service we were provided was truly exceptional...friendly, courteous and seemed to anticipate our every need.

   The melon with ham appetizer was excellent. Light, with great mix of flavors. The veal loin was good, well prepared with interesting accompaniments of Bok Choy and meat filled ravioli. The coconut sorbet was a wonderful dessert finish with on a warm evening patio.

    I am never disappointed with 80 Thoreau. It is always outstanding from the cocktail to the dessert. Even a green salad, with local greens, is fantastic. One of my all time favorite restaurants.

    I’ve been coming to 80 Thoreau for years and I love it and it’s been one of my favorite restaurants for a long time. I was a huge fan of the burger. As well as many other things on the menu. It looks like they have a new chef and they’ve taken the burger off the menu which is a big disappointment I know lots of people won’t come back to the restaurant without the burger. We found the new menu to be over overpriced and not well seasoned and for the first time ever there we had to send something back that wasn’t cooked correctly. I hope they can work the kinks out and continue to offer good food. And please add the burger back in.

    We've been to 80 Thoreau many times and were looking forward to ordering our favorite meal, the burger. Unfortunately, they no longer serve the bar burger. They told us it was because they don't have enough help in the kitchen. It's too bad since their burger was delicious and a good value. We ended up ordering one of the expensive dinners. I had the chilean sea bass and my husband the duck. Both were delicious. We also ordered the chocolate dessert. Yum. I hope 80 Thoreau brings back the Bar Burger.

    It’s always lovely to dine at 80 Thoreau.The food is both creative and delicious. They make the best cocktails and Graham is very inventive. The fantastic wine list will surely surprise. The wines by the glass are the best in the area and they are not typical. We are frequent customers and that’s putting it lightly! We dine there for gatherings with family and friends, but mostly for couple’s night. The service and the team at 80 Thoreau is second to none!! Thanks!!

    I love 80 Thoreau—the food is excellent and different from what I prepare at home. Also, I really like that the food is locally sourced. The chef pays attention to special requests and fulfills them. The wait staff are attentive. I recommend 80 Thoreau as a restaurant of choice. Thanks, Nancy Lawrence

    Train rolling by was a bit much and that’s not advertised so I was completely unaware until I got there. Difficult to even find entrance! Portions so small it was more tapas than dinner. Quality and prep were ok but the prices for that were not appropriate. Only fish option was with pasta. My drink was so small and no stuffed olives!!! Service was mediocre at best. I had waited so long to go and it was a big disappointment.

    We went for an anniversary dinner. We found the food to be outstanding, cocktail and wine list fun, desserts yummy. We think it competes with some downtown Boston food-y establishments for food, service, and ambience —- but with better prices and less hassle. Recommend!

    The woman who created the reputation is gone but hopefully the new guy will burnish the reputation. Our meal was very nice and beautiful though the portions were on the small side (eg, 4 total fiddleheads in a dish labeled fiddleheads). If it weren’t for my friend paying since he loves to treat his friends to dinner there, I would seek out alternative farm to table establishments
