(30) Eat in 10 New restaurants (6/20) Restaurant: The Marathon Restaurant at North Pond
Rating: 4-Stars
Working in Medway leaves you with limited options for lunch especially if you want something that isn't from a chain restaurant. Today the boys' and I decided we would try someplace new and The Marathon Restaurant at North Pond in Hopkinton was suggested to us.
We were seated in the upstairs dining room quickly and had plenty of space. It was bright and airy. The dining room featured a large screen TV with the game on. I would describe the decor as very casual and comfortable. The presentation of the meals stepped it up a notch presenting a more polished approach. The food was served on a more chic plate then expected. The mix worked and the price point very fair.
Our waiter could have been more attentive but was polite and courteous. Had to wait too long for drink refills and more bread.
The food was a delightful surprise. I had the Steak Frites with roasted garlic butter. The steak was very tender and cooked perfectly to the temperature requested. The fies were fantastic and had the perfect crunch without being over cooked.
Each of my lunch buddies seemed equally pleased with their meals. The cook was also very acoomidating and created a salad with Buffalo chicken for one of us even though it wasnt on the menu. The portion sizes didnt dissappoint and we all left satisfied. One thing to note, if time is a concern then you will be annoyed this isn't a quick lunch kind of place and you were encouraged to relax and take your time.
