Highland Kitchen

Won’t you be our neighbor?
It's a restaurant with a menu that goes from diner to bistro without missing a world beat. There’s some pretty good American roots music on the jukebox, too.

Minsok Restaurant

Skip the sushi, stay for the serious Korean dishes

Lobby Bar & Kitchen

Room for improvement

Another Brookline sushi place? It’s actually a welcome addition.

Small plates

Good food, small packages
