Don't those grapefruit slices look delicious? Well pair it with beets, goat cheese, grains and greens and you'll be bowled over, Citrus Beet Bowl.

Our food--burger, fries, gnocchi, caramel cheesecake--was competently prepared. Our booth was comfortable. Service was OK but not at all attentive

Wonderful food and service. Recommend a reservation and if you want a quieter table, ask for the side room by the windows.

Visiting family in MA and my cousins took us to the Cottage. Modern upscale eatery near a Starbucks. My cousin and I split the lamb sliders and Brussels sprouts. It was plenty of food for two females. The lamb sliders were nice and juicy but the Brussels sprouts were the highlight. I believe the blood orange vinaigrette gave it a nice zesty flavor. I could eat it over and over again. My son always is satisfied with steak frites. Who doesn't love steak? It was cooked to his liking and he devoured it. Always a good option for a teenage boy. Lastly my other cousin got the fish and chips. He grew up in GB and he is always on a quest for the best in the states. It wasn't his favorite since he thought the batter was too thick and it didn't make it crispy enough. He will keep searching in MA.

Sunday brunch with the family at the Cottage at 9:30 am. Very busy! Service was friendly and efficient but slooowwww. The dining room was lively but you could still have a conversation. Food was good, but I had a few issues. My avocado toast didn't appear to have any actual avocado on it. It was delicious but mostly made of burrata. My nephew's portion (omelette) seemed small and again a lack of guacamole and the scone was bland. Were they running out of avocados? Nice crispy hash browns though. Also, although it made no difference to us, no alcohol served before 11am (or is it 11:30?).

We had an amazing lunch experience at The Cottage yesterday at the Wellesley location! I've been a "Cottage" lover for a while, but have been so sad since it closed in the Chestnut Hill location. However, this location is just as great! The restaurant is clean, classy, and has ample outdoor seating. It was a very nice day so we chose to sit outdoors. The service here is wonderful. All of the waitstaff and hostess were so nice and added to a great dining experience. We started off with some warm bread and butter, which were AMAZING, and ordered two "Watermelon Breeze" spa drinks. They were excellent! Tasted just like biting into a fresh watermelon fruit, though I would've liked them to be a bit sweeter. They also came with a hint of blueberry/blackberry, which was a great addition. For food, I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich which came with a side of fries, and my mom got the chicken salad sandwich and bowl of chicken tortilla soup combo. Everything was so delicious! My grilled chicken was perfectly cooked and the sandwich was assembled well. The cheese and fresh avocado were great addition, and it all paired well with the mixed greens and chipotle sauce. The fries were above average, so crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. Definitely something to write home about. My mom's chicken salad sandwich was great, with some sweetness added to it because of the raisins. I also had to steal some of her chicken tortilla soup because it was just so good. I really liked the crunchy tortilla strips, and don't even get me started on the melted cheese, GAME CHANGER!!! A must try lunch restaurant in Linden Square!

The cottage is truly a staple in Wellesley! They bring consistent high quality food, attentive service, and a good atmosphere. Prices can be on the higher side, but I've never had an issue with it as everything is fresh, local, and made in house. Good food is worth it - and the cottage has it!

Excellent lunch with nice decor and amazing (accommodating) staff. I was with 2 that have mobility concerns and they made it easy.

This is one of the best lunches I've had in a while. This place was so good. The ambiance of this place is like walking into a spa. It's so nice and spread out. The service was spectacular and the food was even better. All I got was the Caprese Sandwich with chicken and it was so good. Caprese Sandwich- 9.6/10 Fries- 9.0/10 Service- 9.3/10 Ambiance- 9.5/10 Overall- 9.4/10 AMAZING 100% Recommend

This restaurant is such a great find in Wellesley! The service was fantastic. With great recommendations and polite and fast service. The "Ay Caramba" cocktail has a sort of savory flavor but goes well with a meaty dish. The beef short rib fettuccine is such a well crafted dish. The braised short ribs were very flavorful and the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce was so complex and really tied the whole dish together. We split the brownie and they plated each half separately. The portions were generous so no need to worry about not feeling full afterwards. The only thing is I think they could've braised the short ribs longer so they would be more tender.
