80 Thoreau

Fine dining.... wonderful dinner, excellent service. We pretended we didn't notice French fries were available on a different bar menu.The kids survived without French fries and chicken nuggets. One enjoyed halibut and black rice. The other had fettuccine with clams. There were great vegetarian options and hubby enjoyed his lamb medium rare. Something for everyone at this beautiful restaurant in the lovely town of Concord.

Excellent Cocktails Amazing Food Lovely Decor. I went to 80 Thoreau for a girls night out and I needed it bad. The food here is incredible. This was maybe the best seared Foie Gras I have every had. Beautiful Texture, Not greasy, and pairing it with the polenta cornbread was GENIUS. Our server was REALLY nice and had great drink recommendations, so glad I listened to her. I will be back very soon.

We supported 80 Thoreau through Covid, buying takeout meals and wine, buying lobster rolls on Saturdays. We loved the restaurant and the food. But unfortunately, something has changed. They do not serve the beloved 80 Thoreau Burger anymore, for some vague reason. And the meals are all inexpensive proteins - chicken, etc. No steak, no swordfish, no salmon. We have seen people come in, sit down, learn there is no burger and then walk out. If costs are higher, then please raise prices. Do not lower quality. Bring back the 80 Thoreau Burger!

Why drive to Boston when this 10 star restaurant is available (with parking) in the suburbs? The word “no” is not in their vocabulary. Let's underline the word accommodating. Every single time I have the exact same experience… no complaints about anything and nothing but compliments every step of the way. Please dont skip the dessert menu. These are always better than their description. Thank you, Thoreau!

Fantastic meal. Was so nice to be able to dine out again, but chef Caroline really knocked it out of the park. Highlight for me was the strawberry and rhubarb cake with pistachios and rose mascapone, tho it was all great... Monkfish on the bone, tagliatelle with braised lamb, smoked salmon pate, mushroom gnocchi, Spanish mackerel.

The highlights from our amazing meal were the chicken liver mousse and the hangar steak. Layering the toast with the blueberry mustard, mousse, pickled rhubarb, then micro greens created a perfect bite. The hangar steak was medium rare inside with a gorgeous char on the outside. The heirloom tomato salad, scallops, and desserts were also solidly delicious.
