Los mejores restaurantes que aceptan perros en Somerville

We arrived here almost by accident. The places we "usually" go to locally were booked out for the times we wanted to dine - since it was Valentine's Day. But it was a very happy accident. Bistro 1 is a brilliant place to dine and celebrate. The staff were attentive, but not intrusive; the menu interesting; the ambiance modern and spacious. The wait staff were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the menu. So my partner's main course was barramundi, instead of the rockling she'd initially favoured. It was great advice. We began with a grilled calamari entree, which was lovely; tender and smoky, like a barbecue. For my main course, I chose the spaghetti marinara. It was, quite simply, the best I've had in years: mussels, scallops, prawns and fish chunks topped by a whole crab. Spectacular, and delicious. We shared a lemon meringue pie for dessert; tangy and delicious, topped by a pompadour of singed meringue. We could feel the happiness and enjoyment from other diners around us; they spoke to neighbouring tables about the treats from what they ordered. Valentine's Day 2025 was our first visit to Bistro 1. It certainly won't be our last.

Very good food and very efficient service from friendly staff

Such a wonderful spot! Tell all your friends. Great food, excellent service, amazing Spicy Margs.

Great location, decent food, pretty fast service. Very busy on the long weekend understandably, booking is a must, however, you can only book inside. Normally would not be negative in a review, read on for further details.We were turned away Saturday, they were really busy- understandable, the markets were on too. We booked for Monday night 8pm inside then upon arrival, we were encouraged to sit outside by the same server from Saturday who seemed not very friendly. we were happy to sit outside & were going to ask to anyway ! Had to ask them to clean the table when drinks were delivered, food from the last customers was all over it, (they didn’t offer to clean it. )We watched a group of four arrive just after us, get turned away - told the place is booked out, however when I went to the bathroom soon after it was evidently nearly empty inside and very clean tables set up for the next day. They started shutting down by 8:45- 9pm, assuming this is why the four were turned away, seemed to be enough staff on. Go early to snag a table in the sun or book early.

Eaten here many many times. Permanent part time locals. Food great quality and consistent Great basic pub food, caters well to kids and has some higher end selections as well. Can get a bit too noisy, back ground music can be a bit too loud
