    One of our many visits to Elsie's Table. It is a small space and at our last two visits we were seated right by the front door, squeezed between a wall and column. The service is always friendly and great. The dumplings were fantastic as were the cocktails. The lobster risotto was excellent except for the scant amount of lobster (seemed to be just one claw worth of meat). The scallop risotto was excellent with 4 or 5 nice scallops over the risotto. Overall, always of nice local visit.

    Always my first choice of where to dine in Newton Centre! The food is seasonal, tasty, and accompanied with delicious popovers. While a small dining area, tables are placed so that conversations stay localized. We return time and time again!

    Both food and service were excellent. Prices were reasonable too. Lot of middle eastern food options, but I thought this was different (in a good way) than other options in the area. I got the shrimp kabob plate and my kids split the chicken kabob plate- both were excellent. Appetizers were also extremely good. I will definitely come back here.

    Nice inventive cocktails, delicious escargot, and three wonderful entrees (there were three of us!). Very attentive and friendly waitstaff, and comfortable ambience where we could converse and actually hear each other.
