Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Needham

Went here for Valentine’s Day and had the 5 course tasting menu, no wine pairing. Sea Bass and Steak were both excellent. The meringue desert ice cream / sorbet with sponge cake was also fantastic. Overall, left satisfied with the food and service, but the restaurant is very overpriced.

I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea experience.

This place never disappoints! It was a perfect place to go for Valentine’s Day! As usual the food and drinks were delicious and the staff was so friendly and accommodating with food allergies. Thank you! Can’t wait to go back.

This is our second Valentine's Day and Ostra and again they knocked it out of the park. My significant other left very happy. Service was classic Ostra, professional, friendly and attentive. The food is simply fantastic, elegant, fresh, expertly prepared and presented. They even asked if we had plans for after dinner, which we did, to ensure we'd be served without creating a time problem. Ostra is, hands down, our favorite Boston restaurant, and given how much we travel, it's honestly one of the best places we've been to in all of our travels.

First visit to Pammy's to celebrate a b-day. Service was wonderful, thoughtful tips, frequent check ins, great energy. There were a few menu items that we needed to clarify before ordering as we were unfamiliar with items...but all part of the fun. The food was outstanding, I tried the lobster with squid ink gnocchi ...exceptional! The restaurant is kind of cozy...small floor plan with a communal center table. It all works, but if you have a larger group..book ahead to get one of the separate side tables.
