   We were excited to try 80T. But a loud obnoxious photographer was seated in our pod and reuined our 36th anniversary celebration. Focus on adding variety to your limited menu.

   Great service, delicious cocktails, but beef dishes and risotto dishes tend to be too salty for our taste.

   80 Thoreau has become a staple of our restaurant lineup. We love it here. The food is always interesting and delicious. The drinks are always very good and the staff is incredible. It says so much about a restaurant when you go there for years and see the same faces on the staff. This New Years celebration was no different than what we have come to expect from this gem. Thank you for making our 2025 New Years celebration special!

   The service at 80 Thoreau is outstanding - attentive, knowledgeable waitstaff. The food is very good - loved the carrot salad, and the chocolate/mint dessert. I liked the scallops - was expecting something different, but enjoyed the unusual presentation and tastes.

    I hate to write this review about the best restaurant in the Concord area but the current menu is a loser. I recognize that it is winter and fresh produce are likely limited to root vegetables but many of these menu options are not very palatable - the charred cabbage needs something to spice it up (or better yet ditch it from the menu; the hake was cooked perfectly but its sauce was distracting and not a good flavor. the scallops remain a winner (no wonder it is one of the few things that remains from prior menus. bring back the steak frites and some of the other winners.
