Best Cozy Restaurants in Natick

We had the most amazing experience last night! The food was wonderful, of course, but the shining star was our waitress. She was kind, clever, and patient. We will be back and we feel silly we only discovered The Coach Grill last night. Make your holiday reservations now and order the beef Wellington!

I love when you are greeted and seated with professionalism. The waitress suggested some great choices. I choose the Brussel Sprout salad, it was large and wonderful. I didn't think I could eat the whole thing, but I did. My friend enjoyed her burger, the fries were good too. Since it wasn't too crowded, we were able to sit and relax. Thanks for a great afternoon.

We love the ambiance but got crowded quickly which is expected during holiday season. Two of us were dining and another friend dropped by but the restaurant could not accommodate him by adding another chair saying we had made reservations for only 2 people. That was a bummer! We were almost done dining too so not sure why we couldn't be given an additional space for a few minutes. Food was good, server was good too.

Perfect craft season drinks ..grain harvest bowl with blackened chicken was amazing and robustly full of fall flavors. Loved it. I added arugula yumm

We were really pleased with the food. We kept our order simple by taking them up on their pre-packaged "works" offering - $50/pp (2 min) which included several starters and assorted grilled kebabs over rice plus dessert. Their take on baba ganoush was excellent - I make the stuff myself, and I'm pretty pleased with mine...Theirs was better. In fact better than I've had from anywhere else. The humus was also excellent as were the grape leaves. The kibbe was exceptional both as to ratio of meat to grain and also texture and flavor. Fattoush salad, labne - everything on the table was exemplary. Honestly, I'm a tough grader and this stuff was far better than expected and worth a trip there all by itself. Then the grilled meats - the lamb, the chicken, the kofta (really interesting) all excellent as well. Some nice grilled veg as well. The rice was the only let-down, and frankly at this point with their overachievement everywhere else - who cares? Dessert included was baklava - a good example, but not a highlight for me. Bottom line for me is these folks know how to cook, seem to have some real tradition driving their recipes (as they are distinctive), and offered way more quality and quantity (did I mention quantity) than expected. My cocktail was also good, btw. I am mostly disappointed by suburban restaurants, but not so this time. This discerning diner will definitely return.
