I want to say thank you to Michael, the owner who showed my Aunt P and the entire family a wonderful and fun time Saturday night for her 80th Birthday!!! . The waitress (I did not get her name) and other guest was nice and wished my aunty a happy birthday celebration she will never forget Thank you again Michael and staff!!! read more

Stopped for late lunch. the place looked nice and was quiet. Our server was very nice. Food was so so and came out of the kitchen cold. Will not be going back. read more

The vibe is like an Applebee's with a small menu that is trying to present itself as being higher-end, plus everything is freedom themed. I ordered the Nashville "hot" chicken sandwich, which had literally no heat whatsoever, and very little flavor. The fries were actually pretty good. The baked Alaska dessert was tasty, but way too large. The server was friendly but not very warm or attentive. All in all, the experience felt very generic and bland. read more

This restaurant is very underwhelming. I understand the challenges the restaurants are facing now with the increase in food prices and finding quality help, but the bottom line is customers will expect better quality for the money they will spend at this restaurant. The booth we were seated at was covered in crumbs (both table and seats). I can't imagine this table was ever wiped down after the previous customers had left. Certainly not the best first impression. The drinks were one of the few bright spots. My parents ordered the Bourbon in Dedham and Mother Brook, and I ordered wine. My parents loved their drinks and my Catena Malbec was tasty. I tried a sip of the bourbon in Dedham drink and it was delicious. We ordered the Burrata for a starter. I was definitely impressed as we all devoured it. The entrees were much less impressive though. I ordered the scallops and I'm still in shock that I received a plate with roughly one cup of rice pilaf and and 3 scallops. That's not a misprint... I spent $42 on 3 scallops and a small amount of rice pilaf.. That's insane!! I would understand if they were jumbo sized sea scallops, but they weren't. My parents ordered the pistachio cod and the pork chop. The portion of pork chop was decent size but the flavor was bland and the chop was dry. The pistachio cod had decent flavor but the portion was way too small. Sorry, Cod is not an expensive fish.... For $34 we were certainly expecting a much larger portion. The service was average at best. With the troubles finding quality help, I won't sit here and complain about the mistakes they made because they were minor and didn't effect our experience. I just don't understand how I never saw one manager walking around and checking on staff or customers. A good restaurant manager would have spotted the crumbs on our table and maybe had an explanation for why I only had 3 scallops for the money I spent. If you're out shopping and you stop in for a quick drink and appetizer, you might have a decent experience here. I just don't recommend staying for an entree though. Liberty and Main is overpriced and underperforming... I can't imagine they will stand the test of time. read more

Over 45 minutes for 2 salads, a hot chicken sandwich and a kids cheeseburger. I know it was Friday night and busy but that was absolutely ridiculous. read more

Have been here probably 4 or 5 times, each time choosing to forget the last experience, hoping that they were anomalies. Really great looking place inside. Clean, modern, "upscale". Unfortunately neither the food nor price match the atmosphere. This place could be great, given the atmosphere and location, but the price does not match the quality of food or drink. Service has always been fair, so would give that 3.5 stars. read more

The menu looks real good, but I went there with five other people and 3/5 meals were wrong. The medium rare steak was well done, the medium burger was bright red rare, the Mac n cheese barely had cheese and was mostly breadcrumbs, and the cioppino had hardly any food (he went and got pizza after somewhere else). The menu items sound deceivingly delicious and our waitress was actually incredibly sweet. The food was just way too expensive for what it was and the execution was poor. read more

The Dedham location does not offer any dairy alternatives to serve with coffee or tea. This oversight made my experience here less enjoyable. read more

So I have been here 4 times now. 1st time, got the stuffed chicken leg- awesome 2nd time, stuffed chicken leg- no stuffing, chicken burnt to a crisp, gravy was not edible 3rd time, stuffed chicken leg- awesome Last night, stuffed chicken leg- no stuffing, mashed potatoes inedible. My husband tells me I get burned by this place because I always want to give it another chance. The bread basket is fantastic. The wings are amazing. But when the main dish comes out, its always a toss up. I get frustrated because I do enjoy coming here for the most part but I feel like the stuffed chicken is just too much for the kitchen on a busy night, but I shouldn't have to pay for a meal that may be pretty terrible. I wish this place was more consistent with their quality. I don't think I'll be back until I see something else on their menu I would think I'd enjoy. read more

This place is just a meh. Food should be delicious at this price point. Could be more forgiving if the portions were larger. Dined here twice and got beat salad, Caesar salad with salmon, and steak frites. Nothing to rave about, bland dishes. Definitely skip this. read more

First off I would like to say our server Ava was great. Very knowledgeable and took great care of our table of 4 last Sunday @ 5:30 . Now for the food. Two of us ordered the steak tip dinner. When the plates arrived we had to laugh. If it not for the mashed potatoes the plate would have been empty as the steak tips were so small and so few . My wife ordered the blackened Salmon dinner and the same issue. The piece of salmon was so small we had to chuckle. In a nutshell our experience was quite disappointing. read more

Stopped by Liberty & Main tonight for a "quick" after work drink. I was promptly greeted at the bar by the bartender who took my drink order. Shortly after, Michael (the owner) came by and made sure I could see the Celtics game. Finished my drink and had left when Michael poked his head out the door to say, "Thank you for coming!" Nice touch, great customer service read more

The food was very disappointing. We ordered three appetizers we had to send one away and didn't come close to finishing the others. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was extremely bland and tasteless. Would not recommend. read more

Nope....nope... very disappointed with portions paid 27.00 for some romaine which had way too much dressing and and piece of salmon literally 2" inch long 1" wide. Overpriced I was shocked I asked the manager and he said it's the side portion which was 9.00. But they charged me 12.00 and 15.00 for a handful of romaine. I wish I took a picture.....waitress was nice though.... Total bill was 48.00 for a chicken sandwich and romaine with a sliver of salmon.... read more

First off it was freezing!! The food was at best mediocre. Out waiter was awesome tho. Food wasn't even picture worthy..so not like me!!

Service was great. Tuna was fresh and nicely prepared. They toughest thing is finding parking

First impressions are this is a beautiful restaurant that wouldn't look out of place on Newbury Street or in the Seaport. Beautiful decor, very clean lines and open plan makes the restaurant feel modern yet classic at the same time. As for food, we were there for lunch and had a mix of meals, 2 burgers, 1 mac and cheese with steak tips, one chicken sandwich and one steak tip dinner, all were demolished with great gusto! Burger was cooked to perfection with crisp pickles, lettuce, tomato and onion with cheddar or American cheese and was served in a nice soft bun, excellent. The mac and cheese with tips looked delicious and was gone in no time, steak tip dinner was also gone in a flash and both diners commented on the tenderness of the steak tips. The chicken sandwich was fried chicken breast with a hot sauce on a roll and was pretty substantial and was also very well received. The fries are sublime, get them even if your ordering a salad! Service was pleasant and attentive without being intrusive , all in all an outstanding option for lunch, hopefully i can get there for dinner one night as i'm sure it would be just as good. read more

Wow!! What a classy joint!! I was highly impressed by my night out at liberty & main last night from the time I stepped into the restaurant the insane warm & welcome was over the top! I saw Mike the owner going from table to table embracing his customers making sure everyone was happy & satisfied. The Martini's were delicious & the food had a different twist which peeked my interest from beginning to end, everything was fabulous!!! Can't wait to go back, thanks for making my night read more

People were super nice and they were trying but the food was prepared poorly. They're trying hard with fancy ingredients but the quality of the food was poor. I almost feel bad writing this review but with the high prices people should know. read more

Staff not attentive to needs. Haven't had bacon in over 2 decades. Ordered a salad with a side of salmon and they put bacon in it... huge chunks. I accidentally ate one thinking it was one of the nuts. Disgusted, annoyed and outraged. Get it together fr read more

Found it. Family atmosphere with a skilled fine dining chef. The service was great right away. Drinks, appetizers : perfect. Blackened Salmon was the best cooked I've ever had. Velvety with layers of flavor. I hate sharing these secret treasures but it's that good. You're welcome. Enjoy. read more

I really enjoyed this place. So much so that I went 2 weeks in a row. The vibe is really cool and all of our dishes were great!

Not sure I'll return. Went today for lunch/brunch and service was super slow and inattentive. Food took 40 minutes to come out, eggs Benedict was Luke warm, mushy English muffins with cold cut style ham slices on top and a poached egg yolk (that's basically all that was there with both eggs) they forgot the hollindaise sauce and later brought it over in a separate dish. Top it off with a sprinkling of "homefries" on the side which appeared to be the leftover scraps of the day - not good at all, especially for $19. My friends chicken Caesar salad came out minus the chicken and after almost 15 minutes they finally brought out a tiny side plate of microwaved, grilled chicken pieces. Atmosphere is nice though and the espresso martini was very good. read more

Great place for a Sunday brunch and Their adult coffees are super good! Must try. Food was great! & environment was nice read more

My wife and I visited this restaurant yesterday and had a wonderful experience! They have a great menu for both food and drinks and the price point is right on the money! One of their appetizers is a bacon and peanut butter and it was delicious! Our waitress was a very pleasant and attentive young lady named Ava and she was a real nice person! We recommend Liberty & Main for lunch or dinner!! read more

I give 2 stars because the twisted fish tacos had absolutely no flavor in them. I had gotten the fried version and my sister's friend got the grilled version and she mentioned lack of seasoning. I went with it because the waitress said it was a nice portion and good. Can't trust that every waitress knows true flavor. The service was fine. Atleast no complaints there. I also recommend they add a list of mocktails for us non-drinkers. read more

Food is outstanding. Great attention to detail is obvious with the filtered water and sparkling to the resetting of silverware after apps and the presentation of the food. This isn't a chain and the menu items show a lot of creativity indicative of an independent restaurant. A gem for sure. read more

The food was over cooked, dry and tasteless. Dessert was not made properly. Their is a serious problem in the kitchen. Will never return.

I was there Saturday night and the place was jamming. It was great to see that life is finally coming back. Great vibe. As soon as we sat down, the staff was right there to take our drinks. We also ordered the Tuna Boat and the BB Wings. Both came out timely and they were very good. For my entree I had the steak tips and they were cooked to exactly the way I requested. The meal came out a little slow (not that we noticed). The staff came over to apologize and to let us know on the timing. Everything was really fine. First of all we were having a great time and really appreciated the staff to let us know what is happening. Second of all we all have to learn some patience in our post Covid era. I'm sure the restaurants can't find people to work the kitchen. I will definitely come back. read more

My first yelp review, which I felt the need to write after reading so many negative ones. My husband, son and I had dinner at Liberty & Main last night, which we almost didn't do based on these reviews. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. The food was excellent; we had the shrimp scampi, chicken saltimbocca and chicken rice bowl. All were cooked perfectly. My husband had beer and I had wine; no complaints. We made reservations in advance, which I'm glad we did as it got quite busy there as the night went on. We would definitely go back. read more

I brought my nephew in after a day of shopping. Christine was amazing! He didn't like the fries (they tasted like they had sat for a bit), and she noticed he wasn't eating them. She asked him why. validated his reaction, took them away, apologized, and brought him a fresh batch. She even came back to make sure they were ok. He was so impressed with the service. For a 16yo boy to chat about it on the way home, you know she made a great impression! read more

Tell no one, I hate waiting in line. Absolutely could be the best-kept secret. Went yesterday for the first time. I am no movie star but I am famous and quite the critic so you should listen closely. The BEST. Now my goal is to convince the owner to open for BRUNCH. All The Best, The Pancakeman 1980 Guinness Book of World Record Holder read more

I hate to leave a bad review but the food we received wasn't anywhere close to quality. I got the chicken dish. No flavor at all. My husband got fish tacos and he said those were good. I wish them well, but for the price of the food, I definitely expect a whole lot better. read more

One of my new favorite restaurants in Legacy Place. The food is so delicious. Staff is very friendly too.

Always a great experience here from fun events with live music to tasty brunch and dinner with amazing drinks! read more

Liberty & Main - One Night Stand - New American Near Me - Dedham, Massachusetts

See all

I've been there twice and it's ok. Service has always been good. The food is okay honestly I've had a burger the two times I've been there. This time the stuffed clams had not even a taste of clam - the burger was okay but it's pretty hard to screw up a burger. The shock came when the bill arrived and four dollars was added for ice in the two vodka on the rocks. I have never heard of anything like that in my life. The waitress said it was because they pour more in a drink with just ice. What? I've worked in the service industry and never heard of anything so absurd. read more

Delicious food - attentive service - great atmosphere! Went to Liberty and Main today, New Years Day, for lunch and to listen to some live music. Everything was wonderful - thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. Perfect start to 2022!! read more

I have had several good meals and excellent evenings @ Liberty & Main, but my last experience compelled me to write this review. The 4 of us had a rezzie for a Sat night at 7:15pm. The place was buzzing, but b/c of our reservation we were seated immediately. We had THE MOST LOVELY waitress ever, who smiled and joked and was very accommodating. We ordered burrata and a few salads to start. For entrees, we ordered the burger (for my daughter), steak, mac and cheese, and chicken with zucchini noodles. All of the food was very good. We also ordered a few martinis, which were well-prepared. Before we knew it, we had spent over 2 hours at our table! We finally packed up leftovers and my hubs and daughter left to play games in the adjacent green area, but my friend and I just kept gabbing away. Eventually the owner came over and politely said that they had a very large party and needed our table, but that he had secured a booth by the bar for us and asked if we could go there to keep chatting. Of course we agreed, and we quickly saw a party of at least 20 move in to our area. Then as we were leaving, the owner came over and again thanked us for moving. This experience was a CLASS ACT! I mean, I'm from NYC and I have been legit physically removed from a table for "staying too long." I mean, the chair ripped from under me. This place knows how to treat their customers. I highly recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Atmosphere is cozy and nice. However, menu options are extremely limited. If you are vegetarian, your only options are Mac and cheese or a caesar salad sans the meat. Food is overpriced and dishes do not come with veggie sides other than potatoes. My house potato chips were stale. Server barely shrugged when it was mentioned and no discount was offered. Staff seemed aloof. read more

Food and drinks were creative compared to other nearby options and everything came out pretty good. Our waiter was awesome! Man bun with tattoos (management, if you see this, give him a raise). He was so friendly and attentive. read more
