LA FINA RESTAURANT

"Staff were wonderful and enjoyed the ambiance. This is a nice place. Unfortunately, I didn’t think the food was anything special. It was good, don’t get me wrong, but in a fine dining establishment like this and at these prices, you’re hoping for excellent. We got multiple appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Some decent stuff, but no wows."

"Normally head into Boston when looking for a great steakhouse, but was recommended this spot by many people on a Merrimack valley eats Facebook group. It did not disappoint! Had a res at 630 on a Friday, but got there at 530 and was able to sit right away due to being nearly empty(not surprising since it was quite early). The ambiance is beautiful here. They have valet parking outside, a coat check as well. The waiter came right over to us, and truly was one of the best waiters we’ve had. In such an upscale restaurant, Andrew was the perfect mix of professional, knowledgeable on the menu, and down to earth. He came over to us quite often, and was cracking jokes, he truly was the star of the show. We got the home made bread (my bf said it’s the best bread he has had) and ordered a couple of drinks. I had seen a drink on the menu from a couple months ago I was interested in, and the server informed me that that drink menu was for their lounge attached on the other side(that was having a private event) and they didn’t have the products over on the restaurant side. He went above and beyond though, and was able to have the bartender recommend a drink very similar to what we were looking for, which was probably better than the original one we wanted, it was delicious. He was only able to do this though because it was a little slower at that time, and of course, we wouldn’t have even asked if it were a little later in the night, as it got packed in here! We ordered the pork belly, wagyu spring rolls, and a Caesar salad for starters. All of them were amazing. The salad was big enough to share as well. For entrees, I ordered the chicken dish which has an unbelievable sauce on it. Came recommended from waiter, and he was not wrong. My boyfriend got the short rib, literally fell apart when you touched it, it was so tender. We also got sides of the croquettes which had a light cream sauce on them (amazing, never had a croquette before) and the bacon Brussel sprouts. For dessert, he got the seasonal cinnamon bread dish with ice cream, and I got the cheesecake. Both also very good and made by their pastry chef. The whole experience was amazing, and I am not someone who ever writes reviews, but always looks at them, so I wanted to make sure I posted for anyone who is looking for a fancy dinner north of Boston, with great food and even better service."

"Very very good Steak house. From the service to the food it was exceptional! They make their own focaccia bread that tasted really good. The wedge salad, and Caesar salad was really good. We got our steaks with a peppercorn crust which was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. For sides we got the truffle corn and the truffle fries… SUPER good! Our server Amanda was super sweet and very attentive. The service was extremely good. This place was a 10/10 definitely worth the money! We will be back soon :)"
