    80 Thoreau is the most enjoyable restaurant in town. The food is consistently excellent. The menu is frequently recreated, sometimes with respect to season, but always with options for healthful choices. Service is attentive, welcoming, and always professional.

    Another great meal and the value of Restaurant Week. Loved the squash soup and bolognese. A surprising ending was the “ Girl Scout Caramel Coconut Cookie” drink w coconut rum, caramel and cocoa. Delicious

    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.

    Not a lot of taste to the raw scallops or the cod dish. Steak and strawberry dishes very good. Service was great.
