Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Needham

The restaurant is cozy (i.e. small), but they use the space well. Food, drinks, ambiance, and service are 10/10. My guests had dietary restrictions that the kitchen was able to accommodate easily (including veganism). Overall, a great birthday dinner experience! I'll be back.

We had the ten courses tasting menu. Everything was amazing; the creativity in preparation and the layers of flavor in each taste were incredible, and the service was top-notch. This is sushi above and beyond! It’s not inexpensive, but well worth it for a special night out.

MIDA is our favorite restaurant ever. Seriously, it’s one of those places you order everything on the menu because you can’t pick one thing, and everything comes out better than the last.

what a lovely restaurant. Beautiful decor and branding with the littlest but perfect touches. They had an extensive wine and cocktail menu. The wine that Sarah got was lovely. The two cocktails that I got were fabulous. started with the strait of Messina Which was a calabrian chili-infused tequila, prickly pear, lemon. perfect balance of spicy, but sweet yet still refreshing. The next drink I got was the improved spritz. This I think was an aperol spritz with olive juice. It was great. It had a perfect mind of the salty olive brine and the sweet aperol. I’ve had something like this once before, and I am a fan. This came in a tall rocks glass, which isn’t very cute, but at least it wasn’t a coupe glass. The focaccia was so mid. i was not a fan of this. the bottom was sooooo hard, and the bread itself was not light a fluffy. kinda dense and not enough salt in my opinion. It had rosemary on top, but the rest of the bread besides the top was very bland tasting. The next dish we had was the shaved Brussel sprout salad with roasted hazelnuts, pickled red onion, dried cranberries, and a Caesar vinaigrette dressing. This was yummy. It reminded me of a chopped salad the way that everything was very small and you could get every ingredient in the salad in one bite. then for mains, we both got the Bolognese tagliolini. This was a fabulous Bolognese sauce. You could tell that it had been cooking for a while. The spices were complex and it had a note of sweetness, which was surprisingly nice. The noodles were not al dente, but still very good. they were the Perfect size for me, as I don’t like a thick noodle. This was probably top 10 Bolognese that I’ve had in Boston for sure. we finished the night with a tiramisu. This is a delightful tiramisu. It was chocolate heavy without being overwhelming. All of the components were very well done and not one overshadowed anything else.

Lovely service and atmosphere, food was delicious
