- DDanbiGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThe staff were very welcoming and the service was excellent. Everyone was so friendly, warm, and easy to talk to. They kindly took the time to explain all the menu items, and their wine recommendation was spot on. They also surprised me at the end by bringing a small dessert with a candle for my birthday, which was such a sweet gesture. On top of that, they gave me a postcard with “Happy Birthday” written in both Greek and English, signed by all the staff—it was incredibly heartwarming. I 100% recommend this place and will definitely go back soon. All the food was delicious, especially the lamb chops. I usually don’t like lamb because of the smell and taste, but I ordered it for my husband who loves it. When I tried it—oh my god—it was the best lamb chop I’ve ever had!More infoBar VlahaPrice: Expensive• Greek• Brookline•4.8

Discover Chestnut Hill
One of the unique claims to fame of the village of Chestnut Hill is that it encompasses sections of three separate Massachusetts towns and cities: Newton, Brookline and even a bit of Boston. In much the same way, a multitude of world cuisines come together in Chestnut Hill. Whether you want Japanese sushi or Mexican tacos, Chestnut Hill has it. The neighborhood's Italian restaurants are largely upscale places that serve steaks alongside their pastas. Of course, American fare abounds in Chestnut Hill too, with fish dishes at the top of the list. With Boston's proximity to the harbor, seafood restaurants are a must for the neighborhood. A steaming bowl of New England clam chowder serves as a common starter for a fresh fish dinner.
