Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Brookline

My favorite restaurant in the North end. I highly recommend.

Absolutely incredible. I went for my 1 year anniversary with my girlfriend and it was well worth the steep price. We had the fresh Burrata as our appetizer, she had the Fettuccine Bolognese, I had the Saered Scallops, and we got 2 desserts… the Coffee Gelato and the Crema di Boston. Food was awesome, server was attentive and nice, but the best part was the ambiance and the view. My god. Super awesome experience!

Grill 23 has been here for decades, and they deserve to be. The wait staff is the best, food delicious and it is very comfortable. A neighborhood gem. One can tell that everybody is having a good time.

Just had a lovely date night here to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The filet mignon we ordered was tender and delicious, but the sides (whipped potatoes & brussels sprouts with truffle aioli), appetizers (raw tuna with kettle chips, clam chowder with bacon) and dessert (chocolate cake with ice cream & fresh whipped cream) were every bit as delicious. I loved the fact that the chocolate cake was both moist and chocolatey (usually only flourless chocolate cakes have enough chocolate flavor). The service was very gracious and friendly. I also appreciated that the restaurant wasn’t too loud, and we could enjoy a conversation without shouting at each other, unlike a lot of other restaurants with fantastic food that try too hard to be hip. A wonderful meal and night out!

I propose an alternative venue to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The service and ambiance are exceptional. However, I’m disappointed with the quality of the ribeye steak I ordered. Although I usually enjoy steak for dinner, this time’s ribeye didn’t meet the expectations of a Prime-grade cut. It was more like a Choice grade.
