Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Dedham

I visited on Valentine’s Day and loved the cozy ambiance with beautiful plant decorations. I ordered the 3 Valentine’s specials: the beet gnocchi, beet burrata, and cod dish, along with the cooked oysters. All were delicious though I was a bit disappointed with the beet burrata, as it had a very tiny amount of cubed beets and at first believed they forgot the beets on the dish. For dessert I had the tiramisu which was fantastic!

Antonio's Bacaro is an absolute gem! From the warm and inviting atmosphere to the exceptional service, every visit feels special. The food is not only delicious but also thoughtfully prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Whether you're craving a comforting classic or an adventurous new dish, their menu never disappoints. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food and a fantastic dining experience!

First time there and it certainly had that North End of Boston vibe; the share plate selection was really good, entrees prepared well with a nice presentation. Service was excellent and the entire restaurant was buzzing. I would say that Westwood has a nice neighborhood restaurant with the addition of Bar Cino; its location is close enough to Rte 128/95 that it can be a nice detour while travelling. Bon Appetito

My girlfriend and I both work in hospitality and came for an early Valentine's dinner since we have to work for it. Our waiter, Jimmy, was amazing, we ordered all of our food at once and asked Jimmy to pace it out using his judgement. We also asked for recommendations on a fruity/dry Wine pairing, which he did wonderfully and paired with multiple items we ordered. Everything was delicious and the oyster mushrooms were spectacular. To end our meal they brought us over a delicious digestivo and even got us a reservation downstairs at Hecate following our dinner. Amazing experiences thank you!

The Boston Ale House was good. I went with a buddy and we sat at the bar. I had a cranberry margarita and my friend had a captain and diet and both drinks were good. For food, I got the tuna poke bowl which I really liked. My friend had the salmon and asked for it cooked medium rare but he felt it was over cooked. I’ve had the salmon before and didn’t specify the temperature and it was good with the “default” temperature. There was a football game on the many TVs, some huge, so it was a pretty lively crowd. Bartenders were good and friendly enough. It’s a big open space with large windows looking out at Center St. in West Roxbury. It’s a nice place. Overall a fun night and I would definitely recommend it.
