Best Fine Dining Restaurant Worcester Near Me

Gina Pugach: My family and I went to dinner with a 5pm reservation. We arrived a few minutes late and the service was amazing. Thankfully we ordered my kids meals relatively quickly because we waited over 1.5 hours to get our soup and salad. We had to get ourEntree to go because it took sooooo long to get the food out. We fortunately ordered apps so we had that because otherwise we would have been waiting. I’m glad my kids were fed but 1.5 hours for entrees is unacceptable. We told the manager on our way out how terrible the timing was and she didn’t really care.I’ve been a fan of the Sole for a long time and this was by far the worst experience.

Albert Vo: An excellent place to visit when you're in town. I have to admit that the seafood here is super fresh and flavorful. All the dishes came out amazing and delicious. Our host Marie is super friendly, nice and funny! She made our dinner meal much more enjoyable with her wits and jokes. I will definitely be back when I come visit Massachusetts next time.Tips: make sure you call to make a reservation ahead of time because you don't want to wait in a long line.I definitely recommend their fresh oysters and shrimp cocktails the most!Kid-friendliness: A fun family experience for everyone to enjoy.Parking: They have a large parking space, but it can fill up quickly because they are quite popular in the area. You might have a hard time finding parking during peak hours, especially dinner time.

Modern “Modern Butterfly” Butterfly: I recently had a very disappointing experience at the Sole Proprietor. My husband, my son and I were celebrating a special occasion and were looking forward to a delicious seafood meal, but unfortunately, that's not what we got.We started. off with some appetizers; fried clams, steamers, clams casino and a beer for each my husband and son (i was not drinking). Unfortunately, the steamers were undercooked and very sandy, the clams casino very chewy & the fried clams were cold. We didn't complain bc we didn't want to ruin our special dinner.But the worst part of the night came just after we ordered our entrees (we each ordered 2lb. lobsters). When my husband and son tried to order a second beer, the waitress refused to serve them, saying she wanted to make sure we got home safely. We were in disbelief, since neither my husband nor son were remotely drunk on one beer and we were quietly enjoying our time together. Furthermore, I explained that we had taken an Uber to the restaurant! She still refused to serve them. She called the manager over and he also refused to serve them. It was a very unpleasant and ridiculous situation, especially since they are responsible drinkers and have never been loud, rude nor disruptive in any way.What's even more frustrating is that this has never happened to us anywhere before, except THIS restaurant. We were hoping the previous incident was just. a one-off during Covid. It's insulting and outrageous to accuse us of being drunk and saying we are incapable of making responsible decisions.I would not recommend Sole Proprietor to anyone. The food was subpar, and the staff's behavior unacceptable. It's a shame because we were looking forward to a great. dining experience, but instead we left feeling disappointed and disrespected.I'd be curious to know if this has happened to anyone else here? Clearly, I understand an establishment cutting a customer off if the customer is indeed drunk. But what i mean is has anyone else been cut off when they are not? What is the deal here?

Anne Edgington: We arrived a bit early for our reservation, but were seated right away. Our servers, Brendan and Earnest came over promptly and took our drink order. Tip: the 1/2 bottles of wine are a great deal and let’s you order white or sparkling with the appetizer and red with the meal. We ordered oysters and a 1/2 bottle of sparkling rose from Alsace. Brendan volunteered to take our picture and arranged our table to maximize the shot. We both ordered the filet and lobster tail and easily substituted a vegetable for a starch. We also got a 1/2 bottle of A to Z Pinot noir. The service the two provided was top notch. I could see on the corner of my eye that they would both would regularly glance over to see if we needed anything. A great tactic to ensure our needs were met without hovering. The steak was cooked to perfection Pink inside with a little char on the outside. The lobster tail was probably the best I’ve ever eaten. It was tender and succulent. The Sole Proprietor is not cheap, but boy do you get what you pay for. Thank you Brendan and Ernie for a wonderful evening.

Ross Davis: Beautiful building. Food was a 10. Went with a party of 7 and it was all good. Lobster rolls and crab cakes were amazing from my experience. Price was pretty decent for the reputation it has!

Lisa Casey: Being a third generation seafood dealer I am fussy. Horribly fussy. I’m not so at the Sole Proprietor… Wonderful experience and the staff are attentive. No one goes home disappointed even me!Kid-friendliness: The kids eat!Can’t complain about that.They see it’s a special place and show their best manners.

James Joyce: Good food and great service. Prices are inflated so if you don't mind paying extra then it's worth the trip.Parking: Plenty of parking!

Adam Bergstrom: Superb dining experience. Wife got the filet with truffle crust, I opted for the ribeye. Filet was butter smooth, crust was strong but not overpowering. Ribeye was extremely juicy and flavorful. Sweet potatoes with pecans were amazing. Soft, sweet, almost tasted like it had a hint of marshmallow in it. LOADED with pecans. Absolutely would get again.Staff was very attentive and personable. Food was relatively quick to the table considering it was a packed Saturday night. All around a very positive experience and looking forward to our next trip.Only point of consideration: check the DCU schedule for this location. If there is a packed show, parking is an absolute overpriced nightmare. Ended up parking in the garage, but it cost me 25 bucks. Not a ding on the restaurant, just a point of caution for this location.

Ilene Quander: This is our favorite steakhouse. We always visit Ruth Chris wherever we live. We want to give a shout out to the bar staff: Melissa, Stephanie and Sean… we celebrated my husbands birthday and sat by the bar as we always do. The service received from bar staff was above and beyond. Looking forward to celebrating our sons HS graduation there in 3 weeks. 😉👍🏼

Bill Baldino: My son treated my wife and I to dinner at the Worcester Ruth's Chris to celebrate my 75th birthday. We enjoyed crab cakes and a seafood tower as appetizers. My son and I had the Cowboy ribeye and my wife had the filet. All excellent. Our server was excellent and attentive adding to the enjoyment of the evening.I highly recommend the Worcester Ruth's Chris and we look forward to a return visit.

Bob Chakarian: Outstanding experience. Waitress, Samantha, was outstanding, esp. going out of her way congratulating us on our 43th anniversary. Steaks were perfectly cooked and the meal, drinks and dessert were all perfectly presented. I just hope that Worcester will totally support this A-1 establishment!!!Parking: Very Reasonable at $8.00

Jameson Hollis: Stacy is always a delight. We sit at the bar for a reason. She always has the best suggestions regarding excursions in and around New England largely.

ian hickey: Steaks were really good. They were out of a basic menu item on a Sunday. Sides were ok. Service was a tiny slow but super friendly. For $500+ for a four top I expect more.

asia flint: Date night recently ended with great food and great service! Shavaun took care of my husband and I and was phenomenal. Looking forward to next time!

Alvaro Perea: The food here was great! Definitely a fancy atmosphere and a great place for special occasions. It's a pricey place but you get what you pay for and some. And then the staff was great from the host to the waiter to the manager down to the bus boy! Everyone was friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend to friends and definitely will be coming back again!

Faithy: my daughter and son-in-law and I went on Easter Sunday. We had dinner at 4 o’clock. The hostesses and staff are unbelievable. The service was phenomenal and the food was out of this world. Alex was our waitress and she was such an engaging person. Very knowledgeable, offered suggestions when we had questions. I also spoke to the manager at the end to let him know how happy I was with the service and with Alex. He was so nice and entertaining to say the least. I really liked him and I really liked this establishment. I will be coming here again with my son comes up from Florida in the fall. The steak melts in your mouth that’s how tender and delicious it is and the sweet potato casserole out of this world as well as everything else that we ate.0Parking: easy parking and you can also park across the street in the garage.

AJ Rooney: Good food and atmosphere but Makenna is an excellent waitress; despite an overcooked steak, which was remedied and not charged, she made the dinner a pleasant experience. Her recommendations were on point and her demeanor made us want to come back.

Lali Marie: Typically my fiancé and I don’t really get the chance to dine out and enjoy ourselves but today was a special day for the two of us. It happened to be our 5 year anniversary so he decided to take me out to celebrate. Food was cooked amazingly, alittle on the pricier side but still very delicious and fulfilling. I’m sad I didn’t take any pictures of the food so you all can see just how delicious it looked. Our server’s name was shavaun which was outstanding btw and was extremely attentive the whole time never had to ask for anything she was on top of it. She deserves a raise. 10/10 for me keep up the great work Ruth Chris!!!

Oliver Motta: No tengo queja del sazón pero si considero que fue muy costoso considerando las instalaciones y el servicio, pagué $47 por arroz, camarón al ajillo y dos pargos fritos (muy pequeños) y por esto mismo he pagado $32 en lugares mejor presentados, por último me pareció de muy mal gusto escuchar a las empleadas hablando de “machos y gustos personales”

Joel Malaver: Excelente comida Dominicana. El mofongo lo hacen como el de Moca. El pollo frito es el mejor de la zona. Lily e Iveth son las mejores de la zona.!!!

Carlos Zambrano: The food tasted good and the prices were good. The rice and beans with rib stew was really tasty.

Alfredo Pina: El cocido es de primera, revive los muertos.
