Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Winthrop

We had a fantastic experience at Amber Road! The Valentine’s prefix menu was absolutely wonderful, with delicious dishes that were thoughtfully prepared. Our server was amazing—attentive, friendly, and made our evening even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself is beautiful, creating a warm and elegant atmosphere perfect for a special night out. The only drawback was the large screens playing sports, which felt out of place and took away from the otherwise sophisticated aesthetic. It would have been nice to fully immerse in the ambiance without that distraction. Overall, a great dining experience, and we’d definitely return!

My experience at Libertine was great, but not amazing. When you first walk in you see the open kitchen and bar, then there is a good amount of seating that is a bit cramped, but nothing unusual for North end restaurants. Our server was very attentive and greeted us just a couple minutes of us sitting down. We got an appetizer of chourico that was lit table side, and was amazing. Highly recommend as an app. Then, the only downside of the night was when we ordered a special that night, Portuguese bitoque. I asked for medium rare and barely got it rare, and I had to get it recooked for another 6-8 minutes. We had bread in the meantime and I was aware that things like this always happen. After getting my meal recooked, we both enjoyed out dinners and the food was great. The prices are a tad on the high end, especially the drinks, but that’s life nowadays. I would totally recommend Libertine if you want to get away from some of the classic Italian restaurants in the area and go for something a bit more unique.

I made a reservation and was seated promptly upon arrival. The server appeared right away and service was great and attentive. Food was wonderful. Great experience.

The food was phenomenal and the bartender and server were both very kind and attentive. The mushroom pasta with shrimp was especially good. The only hiccup was with the check in and reservations…make sure you have your email confirmation handy!

Always a favorite, I brought my friend here for the first time to celebrate her birthday before attending a concert and it didn’t disappoint. We had a wonderful server, the food was fast and delicious, the value was great and they gained a new fan in my friend. A great spot for a weeknight outing with friends or special event.
