    In an area where there are limited REALLY good dining options, Bullfinch’s always delivers. Consistently delicious food, attentive service, and warm ambiance. Hadn’t been in a while - glad I was reminded of quality.

    We were seated promptly and offered various sections, but chose the main level based on the recommendation from Damon who was to be our server. There was a party being more boisterous on the 2nd floor. Damon, our server, a recent college grad was superb. He suggested a few Rose’ wines for my wife, and allowed her to taste both before choosing. We were staying close by to the Prudential and had just driven 2.5 hours from CT. Open Table and the reviews helped me to decide on this booking. The garden burger for me, and chicken taco’s for my wife were wonderfully done. Thank you again Damon for making our arrival in Boston great.
