Barado's On The Water

We had an amazing experience at Barado’s on the Water for a graduation dinner with a party of 16. From start to finish, the service was outstanding. Randy, our server, was incredibly attentive, helpful, and kind - he kept everything running smoothly and made sure everyone had what they needed. Another woman, who we think might be the owner, also jumped in to help and was just as warm and welcoming. The food and drinks were phenomenal - every single person at the table loved their meal. Everything came out quickly and tasted fresh and delicious. With such a beautiful setting and top-notch service, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate. We live nearby and will absolutely be back routinely. Highly recommend!

The food and service is always on point. I love how the menu changes periodically. Great food, great drinks, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere.... Can't beat it!

Great place and great food. We went at 6 on a Saturday night. The place was busy and they said it would take about an hour to seat us, no problem, weren't in a rush. Dinner was delicious, both my wife and I got the salmon dish and we really enjoyed it. Our server was friendly and prompt, overall it was a great experience. Service would have been 5 stars except for our experience at the bar while waiting for dinner. If there's not a seat at the bar they have you get in line for service. We were in line for just under 35 minutes before we could order our drinks. When my wife asked a question about a drink the bar tender said she didn't have time for questions, threw the drink menu in front of my wife, and walked away. We never saw her again. Anotherbar tender came by shortly after and helped us.

Once again, Barado’s on the Water didn’t let us down! We had a party of 6, it’s our dinner spot every summer x’s 3!! The food was absolutely delicious, as was the presentation! Everyone loved their meal - from a generous & tender steak to a huge lobster roll w/sweet potato fries and lets not forget their butter crumb haddock w/rice pilaf! Their staff is kind and attentive to your every need! And when you have finished dinner and you’re full, don’t forget to get some of their homemade dessert - there’s enough for everyone to have a bite!!!

My wife, who had often enjoyed a slice of pasta pie at Julie's Restaurant on James Street before they closed some years ago, discovered that the dish was still being prepared using their recipe at Barado's in Central Square. So, on a Sunday afternoon, we set out on a nostalgic quest for her to relive the enjoyment of that dish. Happily, the pasta pie was exactly as she had remembered. Cheesy angel hair spaghetti with a topping of finely chopped mushrooms set on a bed of tasty marinara sauce. I ordered the strip steak with tavern fries and garlicky green beans with small sliced mushrooms. The steak was covered by a tomato balsamic sauce and a garlicky aioli was provided for dipping the fries. Although both were filling meals, we couldn't pass up slices of cake made by their on-site baker. My wife ordered the pumpkin spice cake with a maple cream cheese frosting, and I ordered the five layer chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. The entrees and desserts were well prepared, but I encountered two problems with my food. First, the tomato balsamic sauce layered over the steak was cold. I quickly scraped it off to preserve some of the steak's warmth and ended up not eating the sauce. The second thing was that my cake was served soon after having been removed from a refrigerator. As a result, the chocolate flavor was muted by being chilled. Otherwise, we enjoyed our visit to Barado's On The Water where the wait staff members were welcoming and efficient.

This place is a gem. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was awesome. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.

First time here and absolutely blown away by the atmosphere and food. Music was playing at a volume where you could still hear your conversation while we sat on the outdoor patio. Food was delicious and came out quickly! Will absolutely be returning this summer

Great night by the lake for dinner. Bar- Excellent- expresso martini, When they say this a house favorite they mean it!!... Food- Spectacular- Scallops with Porkbelly & rice.
