   A bit in the expensive side, but overall quite delicious. Chicken Empanada was substituted for beef without us being consulted, but we were told it was the same taste. Squid was good, chorizo dish was the best appetizer, in my opinion. Seafood entree over rice was outstanding. Our friends liked the roast chicken and the salmon. Beef was perfectly cooked. They dealt with questions well, the waitress consulted the head chef when she didn’t know an answer. We were near the kitchen which was glassed off, but we could easily talk to each other. A plus for a Friday night. A definite big step up for Needham!

   Great place, friendly staff. The food was delicious but it was a bit disappointing that they did not have any vegetarian entree options. We ended up ordering Tapas and sharing instead which were quite tasty.

   Last night I went to try out Latina, one of the area’s newest restaurants, recently opened by a couple from Needham – what a wonderful surprise! On a cold, rainy Sunday evening, walking into Latina at 4:45 p.m. was a burst of warmth – from the greeting from John at the door to our waiter and the chefs working behind the counter where we sat. This place has an earnest vibe of newcomers who really want this to take off. It deserves to. I highly recommend sitting at the counter facing the chefs. A photo is on the website. The dishes are creative and made with the freshest ingredients. I hope they make my dish a regular part of the menu. Based on the ingredients, I expected it to be good, and I was stilled wowed: pepita (Mexican pumpkin seeds) crusted halibut topped with a salsa Veracruz (tomato, jalapeno, olives, capers, cilantro) over a bed of mashed potatoes and sautéed spinach. The ingredients in the Latina salad also speak for themselves: baby arugula, hearts of palm, roasted peppers, tomato, avocado, citrus supremes, Vermont goat cheese, lemon vinaigrette. There are several other dishes I’d like to try. I’ll be back.

   The food was very good but the portions were on the smaller side and the menu items were a bit expensive. We did enjoy our meal and the ambience was very nice. Service was a bit slow but very cordial and the staff worked very hard.

   Was both worried and relieved that we could not get table seating and had to sit at the counter. Worried that it would be uncomfortable, and relieved that it was good enough to be fully booked. Actually ended up liking the counter seating, it was a front row to the kitchen and food prep so it was entertaining. Had a caipirinha which was excellent, then tuna ceviche, finally a ribeye steak. Everything was delicious and I'm looking forward to going back and trying more from the menu 😊
