Best Seasonal Restaurants in Medfield

An outstanding Italian restaurant with super fresh specials and an incredible assortment of standard menu items, each one as good as the last! We were seated in the dining room, however the bar area has a first come first served policy if you don't have a reservation, but i prefer the dining room. Spotlessly clean throughout, super friendly servers who are also knowledgeable about the menu items with very good explanation of the specials. There were so many specials i wanted it was hard to choose, however, i went with the seasonal pumpkin ravioli with a sage cream sauce which was one of the appetizer specials, and i'm so glad i did, it was one of the best i've had, soft pillows of pasta filled with sweet pumpkin bathed in a beautiful cream sauce, I contemplated ordering it again as a dinner! We also had seafood stuffed mushrooms and fresh shucked oysters, all were outstanding. For mains we managed to snag the last of the lamb shank Oso Bocco and it was also incredible, we also had chicken and sausage in cream sauce, filet mignon and a veal dish, it is impossible to pick a winner they were all winners! Love this place and really looking forward to returning soon. PS - the bread is to die for too!

Six of us ate at Elsie’s after our annual visit to the Bradley Estate’s Winterlights, and it was awesome. We were tucked into a corner of their cozy dining area, which was perfect as two of our party have hearing issues that make noisy restaurants problematic. Elsie’s was truly not noisy, and everything else was awesome. From the cocktails to the wine list to the food. Oh my gosh, the food is SO good. I shared the arugula-pear salad with a friend, and they split it onto two beautifully arranged plates. My husband got a half-Caesar, which was plenty big. And it’s a lightly grilled Caesar salad- so delicious (I tasted it). I got the scallops for dinner - delicious and just the right size portion. Everyone loved their food, from chicken Marsala to salmon, to ravioli - all fabulous. We will make Elsie’s Table part of our annual tradition, and any time we are down in that area, it will be our first choice.

Second visit and equally spectacular. Rigatoni Carbonara was amazingly delicious as was the swordfish “special” served over butternut squash ravioli. Crabcake appetizer wonderful and also the oysters were chilled fresh and awesome. Lovely wine list. Atmosphere moderately lively, if that makes sense. Service and manager A+.

Excellent waiter ; he served us with awareness of our relaxed pace and he interacted with us in a genuine manner. He made the lunch enjoyable. Foo- prix Fixe of 3 parts- salad, entree, dessert for lunch fir $24 was reasonable cost and thoroughly delicious. A lovely lunch in a beautiful setting!!
