    We had a lovely meal at Medium Rare in Watertown. The steak was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious. The fries were warm and crispy and the steak sauce paired perfectly with them and the steak. They prepared a fine portobello mushroom for our vegetarian diner, and the chocolate cake afterwards was large and satisfying split three ways. Andy, our server, was terrific -- attentive, friendly, and not intrusive. Highly recommend!

    Amazing restaurant on the third floor above the Eataly marketplace, which is equally amazing. Everything we had was made from simple and fresh ingredients in a way that flavors were complex and unique. Food was cooked over an open wood burning flame as well. Our server, Edgar, was professional and attentive; he gave us excellent service! Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting Boston. Bonus: shopping downstairs in the market where they have fresh pasta, aged meats, seafood, produce, and imported goods from Italy!
