Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Stoneham

Another great evening with friends. Food was delicious or waiter Fardeal was gracious as always taking care of us like family. Had great drinks at the bar with Craig before dinner and Alexia after dinner.

I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.

Had a nice lunch with friends at NYAJs. The waitstaff was attentive, good food and reasonably priced. And, they made a great cup of tea - I'm picky about that. HOT and served with milk on the side as requested, and it didn't taste like it was made in a coffee urn.

We had another great experience at FiorItaly. The food was delicious, and the service was great as always. Me and my wife love going there. I like how they mix up the specials and give you some new options every time.

While we realize that this is a new venture after Covid, Chopps used to be much better. Gone are the servers who brought you coffee, tea and assorted beverages, making it a truly cafeteria style atmosphere. This may be what some people like but after the original Chopps, we were subjected to a less than stellar experience for brunch. The scrambled eggs were horrible. Coffee and tea are served in paper cups at a station. The omelet station was manned by one gentleman who was pleasant but really didn't know that you fold an omelet before presenting it. Fruits and waffles were good, as were the bacon, sausage and cereals. Hard to goof those things up. I don't believe we'll be going back to his version of Chopps unless we hear they have made some adjustments to their presentation.
