Town Meeting Bistro in Massachusetts

"My sister was visiting from Houston and we were celebrating her 50th birthday. Ruthnie took care of us like family, as always. She worked with the wonderful staff at Artistry to make my sis's birthday a day she won't soon forget. From the special, almost to pretty to consume, charcuterie to the mouth watering brunch and finally the beautifully plated birthday cake. The chef was so talented and passionate about what he does that we were in awe. Such attentiveness and warm service that my family kept saying how genuine and heartfelt their efforts were. The quality of the food and the gracious service from our server were appreciated by all. They even gave my sister a card that they all signed! Don't hesitate to book a table here for your next special occasion, or turn an ordinary day into one by coming here! They never disappoint, but they really wowed us this time. Thank you, Ruthnie and all of you rock stars at Artistry on the Green!"

"We had an amazing brunch at Town Meeting Bistro! The food was absolutely delicious. The menu had a great variety, and every dish we tried was cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was charming and relaxed, making it the perfect spot for a weekend brunch."

"Absolutely phenomenal food and even better service. Town Meeting Bistro is a lovely little dining room in the back of a fancy little old inn in historic Lexington. The menu shows off seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients in a variety of upscale, but not pretentious, dishes, and the quaint decor evokes an 18th century-inspired feel without being over the top. I arrived just after 8:00 (they close at 9:00) without a reservation, and after checking with the kitchen that they could accommodate me, no one on staff ever treated me like an inconvenience. I was serviced with kindness, sincerity, and class - and I made sure to return it with copious, well-deserved thanks. The food was incredible. I had a parsnip soup with poached pears and candied pecans which was, for my mouth, like coming in from the winter cold to a warm blanket on the couch. It was so good, I’m determined to try and recreate it at home. I followed that up with a wild mushroom risotto which made me count my blessings that I enjoy both mushrooms and risotto. I washed it all down with a delightful rye cocktail, and would have partaken of dessert if my company dining budget would have had the space (it was also approaching 9:00 and I wanted to be considerate to the staff). All in all, a fantastic experience. I’ll be sure to visit again, and perhaps stay at the inn as well."

"Lamb shank was the winner. The steak tartare was lean but not very flavorful, I expected the rouille of bouillabaisse to be more orange/coper colored, here it is was more of a seafood broth. The duck cassoulet was very good (the duck was pre-fried) and so were the desserts, candied apple with ice cream and a pavlova."

"Town Meeting Bistro is a solid neighborhood spot that gets the job done without truly excelling in any one area. Food, service, and atmosphere all land squarely in average territory — nothing disappointing, but nothing that really wows you either. It feels like a reliable go-to for a casual meal rather than a destination dining experience. With a little more ambition in the kitchen and some added warmth in the space, it could stand out more."

"I take delight in reviewing this establishment, housed within the beautiful Inn at Hastings Park, in Lexington, MA. Service was attentive and thorough coming from a friendly staff from host to the waiters. The ambiance is modern, rustic yet beautifully, adorned with old-world charm. The food, every night, was a delicious delicacy of taste paired to take the pallet on an adventure of flavors. The temperature was perfect with every bite, and the plating and presentation were beautiful. We loved every meal, from salad to dessert. Thanks to Tricia, the owner, and the team for creating such a beautiful dining experience. We are sure to return. The Hammond's - CT"

"My family and I had Saturday tea in one of the igloos and it was an incredible experience start to finish! The igloo was nice and toasty so we were so comfortable even though it was 30 degrees outside. The food and service were excellent. Elaine was so professional and friendly - thank you! The scones were the best I’ve ever eaten. I wish they sold their pastries in to-go boxes. They’d be such a good gift. Overall, 10/10 experience and can’t wait to go back!"

"This is the perfect place to eat if you prefer quality over quantity. Food and ambiance was just right, and staff was very friendly. We had a great time celebrating my birthday with family. My son was happy there was a kids menu, which was creatively presented on a wooden sailboat! Thank you!"
