Restaurants near Dorchester Pottery Works

The best staff, food, music and beverages in Dorchester.

We came to celebrate my birthday. Our meal was fantastic. We had crab cakes, filet, NY strip, mashed potatoes, and creamed spinach. Everything was cooked perfectly. Our waiter, Conor, made the night extra special and was attentive, polite, and engaging. All the staff we interacted with were very pleasant. We will certainly be back for our next special occasion.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. It is obvious why they have won so many prestigious awards. The food and service were both beyond exceptional. We went for my birthday and every staff member we interacted with wished me a happy birthday quietly and respectfully (no crazy embarrassing singing the whole restaurant could hear). They also all made sure my allergies were taken care of. Our server, Suzannah, was amazing. She was attentive and professional. She suggested to make the most of the experience to order every course and share them family style so we could try more and get the full meal progression. We started with the Harissa Marinated Olives, then the Taleggio Stuffed Focaccia, Carne Cruda Crostini, followed by the Tagliatelle Bolognese and Salmone. All of it was amazing and we were so glad we followed her advice and shared it all. The olives and bolognese were just spicy enough without being too hot and the focaccia had the perfect amount of herbs and cheese. The carne cruda melted in our mouths like butter and the sungold broth with the salmone was so divine I would have licked the plate clean if it was more socially acceptable (my girlfriend asked for a spoon for me so I was able to get almost every drop). We did each order our own dessert and tried a bit of each others, both were amazing. I had the chocolate olive oil torte with whipped crema and pistachio (which they brought out with a candle), and my girlfriend had the cherry sorbetta. The torte was perfectly and delicately rich and creamy and had just enough salt from the pistachios and the sorbetto was the perfect mix of sweet and tart. Overall an amazing evening and they even had an awesome surprise birthday souvenir for me to take home ready when we arrived. I have already reccomended this restaurant to friends and we will be back!

Lobster roll was delicious! Cookie and ice cream for dessert was the perfect finale!

This is really a gem of a restaurant, off the beaten path but well worth the trip. It is right on the water, and we had a beautiful view of the sunset on Boston. The service is excellent, attentive and paced to the meal very well. Our table had appetizers of calamari- crispy and light- and a burrata and pear dish that was excellent. Lots of versions of risotto for dinner, paired with perfectly cooked seafood. Highly recommended.
