The Cottage Wellesley

Amazing food and the best gluten free options I’ve seen at a restaurant! I loved the picatta and the rib eye was delicious.

Pretty room, nice service,but just okay food. Had the stuffed avocado with chicken salad, which is just an assembled dish, so should be easy for the kitchen. The menu described butter lettuce and tomato but the single sad leaf of lettuce and two thin slices of pale, wan tomato really do not deserve mention. The avocado is a large, whole one, halved and filled with tuna or chicken salad. The chicken salad on my plate was a generous helping, but loaded to bursting with mayonnaise. The plate was also dressed with quinoa salad, a messy addition. Fish tacos were the other entree, looked nice but a tiny portion of tilapia. There's two tacos on the order. The reason only one star is lost is that the staff is pleasant, the room is casually pretty and the table is well set with handsome dishes and glassware. A soda and the water glasses were refilled promptly, and there's a nice little bread basket on the table. Still trying to find the place's better dishes, though, maybe it's the burgers. There's parking in the shopping center lot, they take reservations, and it's handicapped accessible. Vegetarians and gluten free diners would do fine, and there's a full bar.
