Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Wayland

Paparazzi Wellesley continues to be a winner in my playbook of places to dine.in addition to quality meals and comfortable surroundings, service is consistently attentive and thorough. Recently , we were seated and had a minor 4-5 minute wait before getting waited to us. No big deal. However our server Jay profusely apologized for the wait and continued with excellent service going forward. We were surprisingly delighted when a member of the management team came to our table and apologized for the delay and offered to supply desserts gratis for the inconvenience. Wasn’t necessary but nice to know management and staff are communicating and making to effort to provide a satisfying customer service. Never really have had a bad meal there.

As a frequent diner at 80 Thoreau I was a little concerned about their menu changes. Last night we tried 4 “Smalls” and 1 “Medium” from their menu. Ian helped w our choices and Andrew selected a great wine to accompany pur varied menu. Yellow fin tuna crudo, Poached lobster in bisque foam, Bay scallops w green apple and Duck consommé w duck confit. Each serving was small but delicious. Then the Medium option was divided for us. Paccheri-Beef, pancetta, fennel w Parmigiano Reggiano finished our outstanding dining experience. Bravo 80 Thoreau!

Fantastic all around. Food was so fresh and clearly all home made, including the delicious dessert. I will definitely be back.
