By the time I add a couple of toppings, a beer + tax & tip it's going to cost me $50. Plan on $pending at least $100 for dinner as a couple; a family of four isn't getting out of here much less than $200. I make good money, but NO WAY am I going to be coming back. For the record, I ordered a small cast-iron skillet of cornbread with a coke and it cost me almost $20.

We visited Oak Barrel Tavern as a party of four and the experience was just okay. I put myself on…read morethe waitlist before driving 30 minutes, not realizing that they run both a reservation system and a waitlist at the same time. Even though we were first on the waitlist when we arrived, we still ended up waiting another 20 minutes while several parties who arrived after us were seated before us. There were three girls working the front desk. They were pleasant, but they seemed pretty confused and unsure of how the waitlist was supposed to work, which didn't make the wait any easier. Our waitress was very friendly, and the service at the table was good. The food itself was fine, but nothing really stood out. The children's juice box being $4 definitely caught my attention. It felt a bit steep for what it was. Overall, it was a pretty average experience. We decided to skip dessert and went across the street instead. I wouldn't rush back, but it wasn't terrible. Just not particularly memorable.

The lake is gorgeous…read more I don't think they are seating people outside right now, although they could be. Inside is very dark and dingy, enormous fly flying around. Menu is super basic, takes a long time to find anything to eat here. Settled on an iced tea, fish sandwich, and side salad. Iced tea was solid, fish sandwich was good, but the bun was lacking. Salad was low brow, but tasty enough, homemade blue cheese dressing, not offensive. The place could use a cleaning, and some feminine energy, and the menu needs a lot of help, if we are going to move away from seed oils. No need to rush back. But if I do come back, I will probably have dessert only, which looked decent.

I had a Cesar salad that had chunks of the ends of the lettuce - annoying. And whatever seasoning that was on the chicken didn't go with the vibe of the salad and was dry as a bone. My friend ordered seared scallops which came thrown on top of a cartoon like pile of fries. She didn't have time to complain because the waitress was out to ask us how it was before we had a bite (the runner brought the food). When she finally came back to ask if we needed boxes - my friend explained the issues with the inedible scallops. The waitress said the owner was there and would come talk to us. The owner didn't come out, a manager never came, and the waitress dropped the bill off and walked away. She came back with the machine to run cards - no apology, no please come back another time ... nothing. I am from Maynard and was embarrassed that this is what happened.

I have visited the Newton location many times and excellent pizza. I was in the area late evening…read morebefore their 9 pm closing and i opted to try the Sudbury location . It is larger than the Newton spot and a bigger bar area, more extensive menu with many pasta dishes, appetizers. The pizza is my preference . I ordered the Dante pizza and very good meatballs slices on the pizza . The beer selections on draft are all good. I think the pizza crust was better on the Newton pizza... or a perceived perception? But maybe because I really enjoyed the Newton pizza which was the L'oscar which was grilled onions, sausage, mascarpone , olive oil, mushrooms, mozzarella. Maybe the Newton water vs. Sudbury water in the dough theory or maybe I am just being an over anal analyst of the dough? Either case both locations have great pizza. I would test the water at both locations and see affects on the dough and which water had better preferred pizza dough qualities ? Maybe then filter the water or Bri g a 5 gallon jug of the better water for the dough ? Maybe the dirty Boston water or New York water in Bew York bagels theory? Or maybe who cares ? On a different note; The oven baked wings I had in Newton were very good and meaty with the grilled onions ... I do have 1/2 pie to save for next day lunch as their pizza reheats well. I like both locations and Sudbury easier parking .

I usually sit at the bar, which is very cozy and comfortable, order up a nice Jack's Abbey House Lager, and a build-your-own pizza. Their pizzas are great.

Everyone who works here is super friendly, and the vibe is relaxed. I love coming to Max and Leo's whenever I get the chance!
