Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Bedford

We drove from Worcester to have Christmas Eve dinner at Smith & Wollensky in Burlington after discovering that every (every) nice/high-end restaurant in Worcester ("we're the second largest city in New England!") was closed on December 24. The drive was well worth it as we discovered a wonderful new place for high-end dining: Smith & Wollensky! As noted in our star ratings, the food was top notch, as was the service and ambiance. Furthermore, even the noise level was decidedly low, which allowed for pleasant conversation -- a huge plus for my wife, who is very hard of hearing (even with two cochlear implants) and a big, big difference from any of the big-name restaurants in Worcester. All-in-all, having Christmas Eve dinner at Smith & Wollensky was a treat for us, no matter how you look at it. We will definitely return and we recommend that you go there, too!

Food and service were both excellent. Our server was personable and fun, and we had a great time! I will be dreaming about the garlic butter and fig jam, and my boyfriends favorite was the cheesesteak eggrolls with the cheese sauce. The ribs fell completely off the bone they were so tender! Soooo good!!

Fantastic. Ate at our own pace, everything was delicious, cocktails and wine included. Service was great, not intrusive, have what we wanted when we wanted it. Loved it, will be back soon.

Great, fresh food but even more impressive service. They were so kind about helping us to celebrate a birthday. Van came over to discuss a special cocktail order. We were impressed start to finish. Thank you for a special night.

Incredible! This word sums up what you need to know. Incredible food, incredible service and incredible hospitality. We had dinner during a challenging time in our lives and the team couldn’t have been more kind. This is one of the best restaurants we have been to, with a large variety of delicious food. The staff was so hospitable, making sure everything was right for our family. We will be back and you should go and try them too. You will not be disappointed.
