District 118 Kitchen & Bar

We stumbled on this gem of a restaurant just looking to try a new spot. The menu is packed with tempting options. We had to ask our server for recommendations because we couldn’t decide. And let me tell you they didn’t disappoint. We started with the steak and cheese egg rolls. They were crispy and flavorful. They didn’t leak grease as you bit into them. For our mains we had the short rib grilled cheese and duck and mushroom risotto. The short rib grilled cheese was decadent. It was hearty, cheesy and simply just melted in your mouth. The duck and mushroom risotto stole the show for me. It was cooked to perfection. Creamy and deeply flavorful with earthy mushrooms and tender duck.

Incredible food, incredible service, great price point for quality and atmosphere. Really good menu with lots of great options. I will definitely come here again!

Stumbled upon this place after a day of errands & shopping. Wanted to ultimately grabs drinks but wanted to use the opportunity to rate the restaurant via my food rating page @got_gourmet (IG)! The service was great, atmosphere was good, and best of all the food was yummy! Maybe some of the best sweet potatoes fries I’ve ever had!

I went there yesterday with my family, when we got there we were told that the kitchen was closing in 5min, and we had to order within that time. Being our first time at District 118, we wanted some time to look at the menu. They sited us outside( wich is very nice decorated) and gave us time, even though the kitchen was about to close. The food came quick. Food amazing, service amazing, waitress very good, space gorgeous. Definitely coming back!

Food was absolutely delicious. My friend and I each had the quinoa mushroom burger. It was the best I ever had! Our waitress Belle was so nice and really friendly. She got the order perfectly. She even came back a few time to check on us. We asked her if we could have one drink and split it. She can back with two glasses and the drink was split perfectly. I give Belle and District 118 the highest rating

I can’t say enough good things about 118 District! We came here as a family and absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cozy but lively, and the music added such a great vibe. Bella took amazing care of us , honestly one of the best servers we’ve ever had! You can tell she really enjoys what she does. I wanted to post some photos, but everything looked so good that I ended up eating it all before I could take any! 😄 Highly recommend coming here for great food, wonderful service, and amazing vibes!

Our son had a football game in Newton, and we needed to find a place to eat following the game. I remembered passing District 118 on our way and I'm glad we gave it a try. Cool atmosphere, great beer list and lots of interesting dinner options. My wife got the prosciutto Flatbread. The toppings were good but the flatbread had a weird texture. Tasted better the next day with the flatbread a bit crispier. I had the Yard Bird and Brie sandwich, and it was amazing! Such interesting ingredients(Cajun Chicken, Brie, Fig Jam, Bacon and Arugula). All worked so well together, each taste coming through with each bite. Hoping we have more games in Newton so we can go vmback and try some of the other options. Worth checking out!

We hosted a large work dinner at District 118 with 18 people, and from start to finish the experience was outstanding. Bora, the owner, went above and beyond before we even arrived …he offered to FaceTime me to give a tour of the restaurant, parking, and seating options so I could choose what worked best for our group. He followed up personally to confirm and made planning effortless. When we arrived, the vibe was incredible…stylish, welcoming, and perfect for a group dinner. The food and cocktails exceeded expectations. Standouts included the burrata salad, prosciutto flatbread, and the beef short rib entrée, which were all phenomenal. The service, hospitality, and attention to detail made the whole evening seamless and memorable. I can’t recommend District 118 highly enough for both group events and nights out. We’ll definitely be back!
