Ariadne has been here for a number of years. It is one of several fine dining restaurants in Newton which make it unnecessary to drive in to Boston for a nice evening out. There is a weeknight prixe fixe menu and a neighborhood menu, as Ariadne seeks to make sure that we locals can come more often than just for a special treat. Everything I have eaten here has been good. I lean toward pasta and fish, with a bit of chicken thrown in. There is a bar area at the entrance, and my husband and I have eaten there in the past when we were without reservations, and arrived at a busy time.</p> Claire W. http://www.insiderpages.com/b/6371135094 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 02:19:00 GMT http://www.insiderpages.com/b/6371135094#10302659592 <p>I went to Ariadne for their champagne toast dinner for New Year's Eve. The restaurant has a very &quot;cool&quot; feel to it and the bar looked worthy to come back to and relax.</p> <p>The meal was a prix fixe and had four courses: oyster rockefellar appetizer, raspberry sorbet, the entree, and then dessert. All of this was supposed to include a champagne toast at midnight. However, on this night, the champagne arrived a full half hour after midnight. It really did sour the evening. The food is good, not memorable, but good. For the price, I was hoping for a little better.</p> <p>Parking is easy as Newtonville is a small town with large parking lots.</p> Tim G. http://www.insiderpages.com/b/6371135094 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 07:56:00 GMT http://www.insiderpages.com/b/6371135094#10300568622
