“ One of my favorite neighborhood spots. It's family friendly, but I prefer to come without the kids :) Christie makes the BEST espresso martini and they just made the killer tuna melt a permanent part of the menu yesssss. ”
“ We had a FANTASTIC dinner at Cook Needham this weekend. This place is super unrated-- definitely one of my new favorites in the Heights. The restaurant has a nice modern feel, and a well developed menu. Everything was cooked beautifully, and was so delicious. I got a crispy chicken sandwich with their famous truffle fries, and I was in paradise. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy, the vegetable toppings complemented it so well, and I never wanted the truffle sauce to end. 10/10 meal. My mom got the falafel dish, and it was delicious. Fresh pita, flavorful falafel balls, and a fresh salad. My mom's boyfriend wanted an omelette, and it was technically on the brunch menu, but they were able to cook one up for him for dinner. The eggs were so fluffy and the cheese complemented the omelette fantastically. Service is just as great as the food! We will be back! ”
“ Overview: well lit roomy casual dinning resturant serving an eclectic menu. Meal/Time: Dinner/Tuesday 1830/ Party of 3 Seated: 1835 Ordered: 1845 First ordered item arrived: 1903 Decor/Atmosphere: casual dining with a touch of class; Tuesday night is loud since it's trivia night. Service/ Front of the House: we arrived, but it took 2 or 3 minutes to get everything sorted out to find a table for us Service/Serving Staff: Bridget was friendly and helpful. She did check back, but did not check on drinks and refills for the iced tea. Food: Lets start with the best to the not so best. The Braised Short Rib Tacos ($17.00 + $10 for additional taco). Soft taco wrapped around a crunchy taco. Tender and juicy short ribs. Sweet and savory... can get a bit messy...but worth the napkins. Charred Broccoli with Chimichurri ($10) - slightly smokey with some crispy bits. The chimichurri adds layers of flavor. Mussels Fra-Diavolo ($16). Steamed mussels in a tomato based white wine sauce. Use the garlic bread to get the sauce. I would to have a side of bread just for the sauce. Prime Steak Tips ($29). This was the biggest loser of the night. You get about 4 pieces of beef, 3 potato croquettes and some broccoli with Chimichurri. We ordered the steak tips medium. Of the 4 tips, 1 was medium rare, 2 were well and only 1 was medium. Love the sides...the potato croquettes were perfect... crunchy crust with a creamy center. Value: Pretty good value as tapas...we ordered all starters except for the steak tips. Restroom: Men's Room is really narrow. There is one stall, one urinal and 1 sink with 2 soap dispensers. Well stocked and clean. Will I come back?: sure I would love to come back...I want to try the fish platter and the Braised Short ribs. ”
“ Stopped by for lunch with a friend. I made a reservation for Saturday afternoon but it wasn't that packed and we could have just walked in if needed. We both got the black bean burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was very flavorful and the lettuce and onion on it were very fresh. The sweet potato fries were super crispy and well seasoned which I feel like is typically harder with sweet potatoes so I was pleased! ”
“ Went in for lunch, had the truffle fries as an app and grilled shrimp bowl for the main course. Both dishes were delicious! Service was also good. ”
“ Last month, I went out with friends to Cook, after talking repeatedly about their hidden menu item, the Triple Burger. Naturally, I ordered that and that only. You can order any of the burgers listed and the total at the time was $45 for it. 1. Basic Burger - very onion heavy, which made it just a bit difficult to taste the rest of the dish because it lingered for awhile. Otherwise, as stated in the name, it's your basic burger. 2. Rodeo Burger - I love bacon and was very happy how much of it there was. There's also light bbq sauce on it and above the onion rings. My suggestion is to have the thinner onion ringers and maybe caramelize it. (totally not a fan of caramelized onions or anything! :D) 3. I wasn't able to finish my 3rd burger in the restaurant due to movie plans shortly after dinner. But I will say that whatever was going on with the previous 2 burgers, the Chicken Sandwich blew it away! If I had to come back and get only one, it'd be the chicken sandwich...unless I can get 3 of em at once?? ”
“ Came here with some of my friends. It's basically all American food! It had the chicken sandwich and truffle fries which were good. I did sample the pizza and I would describe it as a really nice casual dining place for friends and family. ”
“ Most of the time the service is great and the food delicious. When it is busy they try but not always served in a timely manner. Most of the time 5 stars though. ”
“ Cook's is a Modern American suburban restaurant that offers a variety of items culled from different cuisines. In addition to staples like pizzas, burgers, and salads, you can enjoy falafel or pita and dip. You can also try tacos, a shrimp and grains bowl, or a rigatoni bolognese. On the day of our visit, short rib tacos were also available. When I previewed the menu before leaving, I planned to have something light, like the scallops. However, it wasn't available so I went with the NFC (Needham Fried Chicken), recommended and also ordered by my brother. It included crispy and tender chicken thighs, creamy mashed potatoes, refreshing cole slaw, and a flaky biscuit, the latter topped with melted butter. Everything on the plate was pure indulgence. My nephew had the falafel plate with a light salad and some puffy pita. We all enjoyed the Truffle Fries appetizer. The large cone of fries was crispy, dusted with Parmesan, and served with a rosemary aioli. The restaurant itself has high tops near the bar, though that area was empty when we were there, and a main dining room. I liked the restaurant design, including the exposed brick wall, neutral colors, and semi-open kitchen. Service was slower than expected. ”
“ Great dinner at Cook. I got the braised short rib with mashed potato and asparagus special and my friend got the burger with Parmesan truffle fries. Both meals were excellent. The cocktails were good, and the wine by the glass options were plentiful. Although they were sadly out of the crème brûlée dessert special, I am happy i chose to get the pumpkin cheesecake because it was not only delicious, but was large enough to ensure leftovers for tomorrow! The restaurant was busy consistently all evening, but we never once felt rushed by our server. Great bar space for those who choose to grab a drink or grab a bite at the bar. Will definitely come back to Cook for more delicious food and drink! ”
