Best Historic Restaurants in Maynard

Nice place for brunch. A little pricey. Waiter was very personable, forgot 1 item for party of 7, understandable. The fruit in the fruit bowl side order was tasteless, which was better than the flavor of onion, or something else, of the strawberries that came on our French toast, it tasted like they were cut on the same cutting board as the onions for the French onion soup. If they bring up their fruit game, and a little more attention to details (it was cold inside, right next to the fireplace, which was lit, but down to tinder’s.) Potential 4.5-5 stars with a bit more effort.

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.

We met for a lovely family lunch in the Liberty Room. Crab cakes, fish tacos, chicken pot pie were all very good. Service was attentive and friendly. We highly recommend the Colonial Inn Liberty Room.
