Cute place. The servers were extremely friendly and the food was enjoyable! I absolutely love the respective menus for mocktails and eggs Benedict, the two things I get most excited to see on a menu. The Strawberry Orange Berry Nojito was nice and light. I wanted something flavorful but wasn't in the mood for ham so the variety of options for eggs Benedict were exciting. I chose the eggs Benedict with pulled pork. A good decision! It was an adjustment to have pulled pork without the moisture and flavor from the BBQ sauce that it is typically prepare with, but who knew eggs went well with pulled pork? I thought it was an interesting take on a favorite. I am extremely picky about hollandaise and this one was not bad but not outstanding. What I hate most is when hollandaise has an overwhelming amount of lemon in it and this one did not commit that crime. Just a little bit bland but not egregious. The potatoes were very well seasoned. The croissant French toast was great, texturally balanced. Nothing I hate more than a soggy French toast and this one had no sogginess. I only wished for some fruit or whipped cream personally. Pros: creative and fresh menu options, friendly staff Cons: lacking intensity in the flavor department (only slightly!)

Bistro781 is a nice little place to grab a bite to eat. We were pleasantly surprised with the taste of the food the portion sizes were good. We loved the cornbread, highly recommended if you don't try anything else. Be warned that there are some golden raisins in it I believe so expect that texture in it. (We didn't mind it once we knew it was in there). The drinks were really good I had the angry mule and it was delicious with just the right kick. My wife had the spicy prickly pear and it was really good as well. For our entrees, I had the steak frites and the steak was done perfectly. Paired with the Parmesan truffle fries made for a delicious bite. I also enjoyed the smoked tomato chimichurri which I don't think I've ever had before but will definitely have again. My wife ordered the sweet potato crusted salmon and really enjoyed the sauce as well as the crusting on the salmon. The Brussels sprouts were ok could have used more hot honey in my opinion but I know people vary in spice level and taste. My son had the bistro burger and said it was good and my daughter had pasta with Alfredo and kudos to the homemade Alfredo sauce. The service was excellent and our server was very friendly and attentive. One side note, although they have a kids menu, the setup isn't really designed for young kids which is ok but something to be aware of. At night they definitely have the lights down low which can be a little difficult for younger kids. Other than that it was a great experience and the next time I'm in Waltham I shall be making a return to try other items on the menu.

BEST spot on Moody St., hands down! Great for connecting with friends. Good everything, cocktails, appetizers, entrees and desserts. Each trip brought me such joy, whether you sit at the bar, high top, table or the lounge area up front; it's a vibe - they even have a dope live music set on some Fridays. My favorite selections (to name a few) are seafood paella (watch out for lemons), pan seared scallops and short rib Mac and cheese. The staff really makes it feel like place you wouldn't mind frequenting - special callout to Elizabeth! Parking on Moody street is like winning a scratch off, so good luck. The closest lot is the Crescent St lot, puts about a brisk (if it's cold) walk away. Confidently recommend!

Not a bad little restaurant in Waltham. We got some apps, the firecracker shrimp and crab cakes were really good. I split a pizza with my wife and surprisingly the pizza was good, not as good as Buffalo pizza but solid dinner. My friend got the sweet potato crusted salmon and he loved it, very unique dish with lots of flavor.

This was my 3rd time dining here. Two very notable things- it's a scratch kitchen and the menu is large and diverse. So many options and I love being able to eat breakfast foods on a weekday at lunch time. I had the eggs Benedict (so many options) with fried chicken instead of pork. It was delicious with just the right amount of tasty fried chicken. My friend had the chicken and not waffles (French toast) and enjoyed it- very large serving. I had a bite of the French toast and it was very good. We split an order of yummy cornbread. I'm not even much of a cornbread fan but I knew it would be amazing and it was. Don't miss the cinnamon butter. We didn't have room for dessert but we considered a dessert (Nutella) pizza. Hostess and server were friendly and efficient- hostess cleared our plates. We enjoyed the festive atmosphere and Christmas music. Street and paid lot parking off Moody street. Note: Scratch kitchens take a bit longer than most places because everything is made to order. Not inexpensive but great food and value.

We came here with little kids and the crew accommodated our needs very well. The food was very good. Combined with decent drinks and a good vibe, it made for a great evening. A good hangout spot if you're in the neighborhood. They also have a dedicated vegetarian and vegan menu, which worked out well for folks in our crew.

The brunch is unreal! I had the best breakfast sandwich i have ever had hands down- the morning staple breakfast sandwich. The home fries were also very good, and I do not normally like home fries. They have an entire eggs Benedict menu that my friend ordered from and also the same for bloody Mary's fixtures. The cinnamon bun skillet was unbelievable- warm, gooey and covered in icing. The waitress was really nice and attentive as well. It was very busy so I would recommend making a reservation. There is a parking lot around the corner in the back- but you have to enter through the front door. I wish I could have brunch here everyday.... If you are a brunch person this is a must

Food tastes better than it looks! Good location right on moody street if you're interested in bar hopping. Quinoa burger was massive and the wings were solid as well. Cooked perfectly but I will say I was expecting some type of sauce or spicy rub for the hot wings. They were plain but tasted solid. Service was just okay but we came on a very rainy day and the staff was distracted by a very good football game on. Looking around at the other plates that passed I think I'll come back and try breakfast instead of lunch.

What a great place on Moody Street! We made reservations for NYE and I'm glad we did. They had specials for New Years, so I decided to get one of the cocktails, and it was good! Would recommend the Sparkling Pom Kiss. I then ordered the steak tacos. They were so fresh and tasty. I loved the sauce and all of the flavors. It was paired with a handful of chips and a salsa. This salsa was incredible! Again, very fresh. The ingredients they use seem to be top notch. My friend got the caesar salad (half portion) and the steak bomb spring rolls. She said they were both great as well! The ambiance in here was also so nice. They have candles on every table, and the decor takes you out of Waltham for a minute into an upper-scale New York feeling restaurant. The vibes here are top notch. Although the food was delicious, only downside was I was expected the portions to be a little bigger for the tacos, served with rice or something. The chips were great but I left a little hungry. Not sure if the tacos are supposed to be ordered as an appetizer, so If I come back I would definitely order off the entree section! Now I want to review their NYE party. We ended up coming back later in the evening for their NYE party. There was a DJ and lights...btw the DJ was awesome and played all the right music! They also gave out free champagne to toast with at midnight, and had catered Chinese food for everyone! Wow. Not many places do this anymore, so it goes to show the owners really care and want everyone to have a good time. Respect to them, and a thank you. All in all good experience and good vibes.
