Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in West Newton

Nothing special, good atmosphere good service good price for the amount of food

Food is consistently good here. It was Wednesday and therefore burger night - perfectly cooked as ordered and fries were hot and crispy. We also got delicious parsnip soup. Last week we tried the ziti with lamb bolognese - also excellent. Looking forward to having the duck board again this winter. Staff is friendly and efficient.

As always, the food was outstanding as server, Catherine she was exceptional. She’s very dedicated to her job and she was very helpful and very knowledgeable of the menu.

Everything was delicious, especially the beets appetizer and the risotto. Not a lot of vegetarian options on the menu, but they will modify menu items to accommodate vegetarians. Overall, a lovely place for dinner.

This was our third time at The Bluebird Bar, our first for a special occasion, a birthday. We ordered mussels as an appetizer, which were absolutely delicious and plentiful. The main course of salmon, which my husband asked to have cooked through was good, but kind of bland. My steak tips were good and came with fries that were exceptional! The curious part came towards the end of our time there. We were well-fed, but might have ordered a dessert, since this was a birthday celebration. The bill came and no dessert menu was offered, nor was any little gesture made in honor of the birthday. The person seating us did give happy birthday wishes verbally, but that was it. Most times we and friends have eaten out to celebrate a birthday, some gesture has been made at other restaurants. We enjoy The Bluebird Bar and will return, but my advice to the restaurant is to pay some kind of tangible attention to someone celebrating a birthday with you.
