Restaurants near South Acton Station

This was our second visit to Silver Girl. We're so lucky to have such a fantastic restaurant in our backyard!

80 Thoreau is our go to restaurant for special occasions. We dined here again during Restaurant Week, and had an excellent meal and dining experience. 80 Thoreau consistently delivers inventive food that is beautifully prepared and presented. The service is attentive without being overbearing. We never feel rushed here. Food was brought out hot and in a timely manner. It is always above the ordinary. The Restaurant Week menu provides a 3 course meal with a varied selection of appetizers, main courses and desserts. We began with a salad, and grilled shrimp with paprika, bacon and polenta. It was perfectly cooked and bedded in a light sauce, a very good beginning. These were followed by roasted Hake, with parsley crumb, potato and grain mustard. The other dish was herbed marinated chicken breast with mushroom sauce, and brussel sprouts. We added a side of the roast potatoes, a perfect addition. The portions were satisfying, given the 3 course meal. For dessert, we had coconut sorbet and cocoa butter brownie with banana chantilly. The sorbet was a perfect ending to cleanse the palate, and the chocolate brownie was a generous portion, not too sweet. In all a delightful experience. Cannot wait to return.

The service was great, we were a pretty large party and everything came out hot at the same time. Our waitress was great and very accommodating.

I always have a delicious meal and a fun time at True West. I moved to Boxborough a year ago, so I bring a lot of friends over after they come to visit my new home. I have never had a bad meal, service experience, or time at True West! My guests always love it! I’m so grateful to have True West in my neighbourhood. And if it weren’t, I would travel to it. It’s got a great down- to-earth feel with excellent service, food, beer, and ambience. What more could you want?
