Reviews for O'Hara's Food & Spirits in Newton, MA
My husband and I have to travel to the area for medical purposes every few months, and not only does the staff always remembers... us...the food is so amazing. I wish we lived closer we would be there weekly. The onion rings, the chowder, the pizza, fish andchips, all the salads... everything is perfect, all the time. The food, the absolute kindness and generosity of the staff reallymakes this our favorite place. ?? Read more
It was a very busy weeknight and we lucked out and were seated right away. We had read the menu online and knew just what we... wanted to eat, so we quickly ordered. The chicken pot pie was fabulous and my son loved his shepherd's pie. We also both ordereda cup of French Onion Soup which was good, but had rye bread in it (not my favorite). Our server was so sweet, attentive andlightening fast. We were seated next to a couple who had already ordered before we sat down (a burger and a chicken parm). Ourfood came long before theirs. They were just getting served when we were finishing up. Their server was surly, unapologetic andkind of rude when they asked for an update on their order. "IT'S BUSY AND THE KITCHEN IS BACKED UP, THEIR ORDER JUST CAME OUTFASTER" yup, that is what she said, but with serious nasty attitude.. So although it wasn't my experience, it did impact how Ifelt being there. Grateful that we had the great service, felt terribly for the other people. I wish I recalled our server'sname. But if I ever go back I'll definitely remember the rude server's face and ask to switch tables. Read more
We have enjoyed both eating at Oharas & getting their takeout for years. Recently I ordered Haddock Leone takeout & my husband,... fish tacos. Tacos always v good. But, 1st time I had this haddock. I loved it.Comes with tomatoes, mushrooms, cheese sauce. Verytasty. THANKS to the chef???? Read more
Stopped here tonight for the 1st time. Found them from a Google search for top restaurants in the area; not an area we... frequent. Parking is an issue, no parking lot, you need to find it on the side of the side streets. Service was ok but notgreat. They kinda point to the table they want ypu to sit at. I'm sure to the locals that's fine and they're on 1st name basewith most. Very busy for a Tuesday night, obviously a popular location. The food was good, portions were good and prices werereasonable; but they can't wait for you to get out so they can seat the next table. They didn't even ask or offer water, a 2nddrink, coffee or dessert. Read more
Wife and I both ordered the baked stuffed haddock, which was great! However, she ordered broccoli and baked potato, I ordered... spinach and mashed. The baked potato was undercooked, and broccoli was just ok. The mashed were actually good, but nothingspecial, and the spinach was a bit undercooked, bordering on salad. The $2 extra for the dinner salads was well worth it. Read more
Great upscale family friendly pub. Their insistence on high quality ingredients makes for excellent meals. Their clam chowder... and pizzas are my personal favorites. Draft beer is well carbonated and nice and cold. Good wine list as well. Employees aregenuinely happy and fun to be around. All around great place to eat and drink. Read more
Visiting family in the area and decided to check this place out based on the recommendations of others. Overall a decent... experience. Had a variety of dishes from the menu and no major complaints from anyone. For a "pub" style place, there is aunique menu. The shepherd's pie that I had was pretty good. The drinks are reasonably priced. The service was friendly. Read more
I really enjoy this spot. I?ve come many times and all of the staff are incredible. Super polite, and attentive. My only... complaint is the blackened chicken tacos. The queso was cold and the chicken was partially undercooked Read more
