Best Cozy Restaurants in Melrose

Bistro 5 is one of the best restaurants in Greater Boston. Last evening our drinks, apps, mains and dessert were all excellent. Like really excellent. We ate at the bar, which was lively, congenial, fun. The staff is welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended!

Korean sticky ribs were great!| Pollo tacos were a bit spicy for me, but Jonathan, our server brought me some sour cream which helped. The flavor was very good! The Earls Bacon Cheeseburger dod not disappoint and the fries were skinny and delicious!

Food is consistently good at the Legal Seafoods chain. The server we got (Corey) was especially good, and got the kitchen to make the Thai-style calamari that had been off the menu for a few years.(he knew exactly which ingredients went into the dish and that the kitchen had it). The petit lobster roll was good value for money- came with a cup of bisque or chowder, fries and coleslaw. We had a nice lunch here.

Our group of 4 started with the seasonal board which was delicious but did not come with enough toast. We were able to order more for an up charge. The burgers and sandwiches were huge and impossible to finish but were so good. Our waitress was attentive throughout. I would eat here again if I was in the area.

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.
