Beacon has been open now for over 2 weeks, and I think it’s still working out kinks and flavors in the kitchen. The staff were phenomenal and our waitress was brand new. Atmosphere was casual, inviting, and cozy with a working fireplace, fall decorations, dark wood, and white linen napkins. We arrived before the evening dinner rush but the place filled up quickly and the bar slowed down considerably once the place got busy. Started with the duck poutine which wasn’t a fav. The duck was cured, dry and therefore very salty. The brown gravy had very little taste and deff not enough cheese curds (couldn’t even see them as they were mixed in). Not a traditional Poutine style! In my humble opinion, Keep Poutine true with lots of flavorful brown gravy and cheese curds.
The Neapolitan style pizza was good. Crust was chewy. Flavors of tomatoes, bruschetta and sweet balsamic reduction came through. Beacon’s version of a 3 meat Bolognese was warm and comforting. Taste of plum Tomato and onion came through. Meats were tender. However I missed the more classic earthy taste of carrot, celery and nutmeg in mine. (True Soffritto) Being able to add more Fresh parmigiana would have been nice. The Rigatoni was cooked perfectly al dente.
Will I come back? I think I’ll give this place some more time to find its footing. Every new place has its growing pains. The...
Read moreThe restaurant is very attractive from the outside. They have outside eating, along with gas heaters that are the very tall ones, that look really cool! They have many seats and tables outside. The inside is very nice as well. There are various rooms to sit in, having all different environments. There's are large bar with many stools and a few larger TVs. Then, they have a large eating area near the bar that is a bit noisy for me. However, we asked for a quiet room, and they had a very peaceful dining area with about 8 tables. The staff are very welcoming and polite. The menu online is really great and varied. However, when we were seated and given our menus,I looked and see that they had half the amount of items than the online menu. We still had some very delicious food, that came very fast, and were generous portions! The prices are moderate to semi-pricey, but that's what's out there now. Anyway, the food was great and the waitress was very nice.I highly recommend Beacons Restaurant!!! My Caesar salad was very large and delicious. I had a hamburger, which was large and very tasty. I was craving one for one year. My wife ordered a pizza with no cheese, for diet surgery 6 reasons. The pizza was great! The crust was crunchy and the tomato sauce and chicken were delicious! Call ahead to book which room you want. You can get a reservation or not, but if...
Read moreI have never written a review about a restaurant before, but felt compelled to do so after the incredible experience my guests and I received at the “Beacons Restaurant” Walpole Ma . This was my sons wedding rehearsal dinner. I chose Beacons because of its stellar reputation. First off, the decor was warm, rustic and cozy just as I anticipated . Jennifer, the owner, had given me plenty of time to set up, decorate, and she graciously assisted me in doing so. Regarding the food, all I can say is it was absolutely fabulous ! Chef John did an incredible job. The appetizers were phenomenal, and the entrees were delicious and a perfect temperature at that. Everyone kept mentioning to me about how amazing everything was ! Danielle, the bartender, was extremely professional and did a great job while also enjoying the evening. Kylee was a great server, very attentive and right on top of every request that I asked for. The evening ended with music, dancing, and lots of fun. As I had said before the warm atmosphere, professional staff, and scrumptious food were absolutely top notch in every way. I simply cannot say enough about the Beacons Restaurant and I would give this restaurant my highest possible recommendation to anyone that is planning a function of any type. Thank you all! You made the evening a night to...
