I've eaten at 45 several times. The service is usually poor. The waitresses are past retirement age and most have an attitude. That needs to be addressed. The food is very good especially the veal parm so if you can deal with the service issues and want good good. Then this is the place to go. Update. Yes Lisa I will stop in again You are correct. It has been a couple of years since I've been to your restaurant and like the review stated. I've always enjoyed the top quality food that you serve No disrespect towards the retired waitresses but I am older myself and I know how hectic a servers job can be. It is best done by young energetic people See you soon. Thanks for responding to my review read more

Updated review after today. We sat on the patio with the perfect weather and had a great meal. The real gem of the afternoon was the service we received from Michaela! She was absolutely awesome.....super friendly with just the right amount of attention to our table. What a wonderful change from our last visit! read more

Had dinner here last night. Great food and great service. Our waitress, Nancy, was very helpful and patient. Will definitely return in the future. read more

Best restaurant in the area! Consistently GREAT food and service! They also do amazing small functions.

The food was ok, I ordered a caesar salad with steak tips, the salad was a little disappointing, it had 3 pieces of steak and I didn't see any parmesan cheese on my salad, when I asked my waitress she said they use sprinkle parmesan, I was blown away by this, I thought this was a decent restaurant and the fact that they use a Kraft type parmesan cheese on a salad that was almost $20.00 is ridiculous, she did offer to bring me real shaved parmesan cheese. I think they need to reevaluate how they are making some dishes especially something as simple as a caesar salad. read more

Salt, pepper and garlic powder in your flour dredge for your calamari will go a long way. I was extremely disappointed in the lack of love put forth in one of my favorite apps. Service was great!! Just a poor start to my meal. read more

Friendly hostess and waitress. Yummy drinks. Food and dessert were great. I will definitely return.

The food is always a good value, but every time we've been there, over the past few years, there have been flies buzzing our table and landing on your food. It's disgusting! read more

Probably won't go back for awhile. I ordered a burger that came with fried onion bits on top and french fries on the side- WAY over salted. My wife ordered Jeffrey's seafood saute and they left all the tails on the shrimp. Who wants to bite into shrimp covered in sauce and eat the tails or try and pick them off yourself? Went to take the rest of my burger home and the waitress didn't include the whole uneaten pickle in the to go box- it's the little things. read more

I feel bad that anyone can give this restaurant a "not good" review!! If you are in this area, where is there any place that serves better food than Restaurant 45 and the price is so very reasonable. Service is hard to find anywhere..ANYWHERE!! People are trying to do the very best they can and anyone running a business knows this. Talk to your servers, be polite and courteous..they are trying to earn a living..If you are not being treated the way you think that you should, nicely point out where it went wrong. It's seems so much harder these days to find good in anything, so much easier to find something wrong..a little communication goes along way!!!!!! Looking forward to my next meal @ 45.... read more

I love the lobster corn chowder! You have to get it when you come here! Great kids menu Large selection for the menu. I have had many good things there.... Chicken Marsala, Spaghetti and meatballs, Salmon, Eggplant Parmesan and chicken Parmesan. Wonderful bread read more

It was our first visit to this eatery. Overall we had a good meal. Ordered the Calamari 45 which was one of the best that I've had in very long time. Very tender and cooked just right with a little bit of heat from the cherry peppers. Our server, Wes, was very attentive and our meal was served quickly but not rushed. My husband ordered the Veal Parm. which was a generous portion. I order an item off the Chef's special menu for the night, Tuna Alana which was to be served med.rare. unfortunately it was overcooked. Wes was more than happy to return it for a med. rare piece of tuna. My second piece was perfectly cooked. Overall we had a good experience and will be returning to try other items off a very large menu. read more

Nothing special here. Food is average at best, and not seasoned well. Prezos up the street in Milford is much better. read more

Great food and service. My husband loves the jambalaya. I had one of the pasta / seafood specials. We don't go there too often but I I have never had a bad experience. read more

One of my favorites. The steak tips are always cooked perfectly, the zios chicken is crusty and the cream/red sauce is great! My husband and dad always get the seafood dishes, which they rave about. Servers are always friendly and the restaurant is very welcoming to small children read more

We had a wonderful experience at Restaurant 45 when we rented the function room for our rehearsal dinner on 8/17/18. The tables were set up in a way that it was very easy to get around the room, the wait staff was attentive, and the food was excellent. We chose to have a buffet style and they were able to offer a great variety of food for our group of 45 people with a variety of pallets and dietary restrictions. They even let us use an extra room for our videographers to interview our families for our wedding video. Thank you Restaurant 45 for helping us relax and giving us and our families a fun and delicious meal the night before our wedding! read more

Great place to eat. Food is reasonably priced and it's right off the highway on rte 109 in medway. My favorite dish is the eggplant parm. Nobody does eggplant like the 45. Staff is great. food is awesome... TD read more

This was sadly our first and last visit. The service was slow and the food was mediocre at best. Their bread did not look appetizing at all and we did not touch it. I ordered salmon with rice pilaf. I asked the waitress for a wine recommendation. She said "I have no idea". Really! The rice pilaf I am sure came out of a box. My husband ordered their special, a rib-eye steak. It came medium rare (he ordered medium well), and terribly gristly. Yuck! He could not eat it. After we ordered dessert, it was quite a while before the waitress came back and said that they were out of the lime torte. Okay, fine. We got the cookie pie, it was okay at best. The dominant flavor was sugar and not much else. We also ordered espresso. It came very watery and just gross. One sip was enough. The waitress said the machine was broken. Maybe they should not serve it then, or better yet, fix the machine/get a new one! Overall, not a good dining experience. read more

Menu wasn't bad, I loved all of the seafood choices. My shrimp order was perfect. Sat in the outside patio area which was great to enjoy a couple of their drinks at the end of summer. Desserts were great too. The wait staff was pleasant and very attentive. Overall, restaurant is clean and atmosphere is for any age group. read more

I have been for lunch a few times recently. The chicken marsala is pretty dang good and I am a huge marsala critic . The mac n cheese balls are also good and the sauce they come in. Nothing else has really impressed me. The service has always been good. read more

My adult grandson travels 50 miles to visit! Can we go to Restaurant 45! He remembers his favorite dinner! Chicken with broccoli! Service was great! Prices reasonable! Have to try their pizza next! Neighbors rave about it! read more

Average fare and adequate food. Chicken parm seemed tasteless to me but my husband liked it. Place was packed when we left. Don't think there are a ton of options in this area. read more

Pam was wonderful great service. Food was good and fair prices. I would recommend to a friend and will come back.

Disappointing. A favorite Sunday afternoon spot did not live up to past experiences. The bartender who initially waited on us at 3:20 we later learned was also the bar manager who left the bar at 3:30 leaving one person to service the bar and tables until 4pm. This person was literally running trying to accommodate the patrons and clearing several tables as best as she could and was on the verge of tears. Several other patrons also left without being served. From our vantage point we could see into the kitchen area where the bartender/manager stood chatting for a full 20 minutes plus to the owner while we and others were waiting to order. My husband and I decided to leave after a few sips of wine, explained to the lonely bartender it was at absolutely no fault of hers but due to the lack of support offered by the bar manager and others to jump and provide customer service. Not a work culture I would ever endorse. read more

Been frequenting this place for 10 years or more for both take-out and dining in, even had functions here. The food is ok, some days it is spot on and other days it is junk. It is an upgrade from the chain restaurants in the next town over in Milford. I love their turkey sandwich, it is one of the best meals on the menu, which is kind of sad! they only serve it for lunch and I can't get it for dinner. You have to eat any of the seafood dishes there, i wouldn't get it to go! The clams are terrible. The marsala was decent, but could be better. Their pasta with just like whole tomatoes and marinara is decent, I hate their house sauce. For a Italian restaurant it isn't great, but your choices are Olive Garden or Bertucci's, so it is a winner hands down. read more

We returned to the restaurant to celebrate closing on our new home in Norfolk. We all had a great meal...including my year and a half grandson. Service was good, food was delicious and the atmosphere was fine. It did get a little noisy towards the last part if our meal...but it was a busy night. I was grateful they take reservations. We will be back for sure! read more

I recently ate at The 45 and was blown away by the food. I always though the 45 was good but this particular time it was amazing. First our drinks were made perfectly and service was timed perfectly with our drinks and appetizers coming out at appropriate times.I personally recommend the Toasted Ravioli. As for dinner, I believe they have the best seafood in the MetroWest area and thoroughly enjoyed my dish and knowing it was a fresh catch. They also hold a large function room which was very crowded when I was there and it seemed as each customer was happy and having a great time. Also has a bar and and outdoor patio which is nice in the summer with a cold drink. read more

My first dining experience at Restaurant 45 included take-out. I ordered the mesclun salad with tuna, picked it up and brought it back to work for lunch. I was very disappointed by the salad. There was no dressing included and was flavorless. The only flavor was the tuna and the restaurant only included four small pieces. The salad itself was dry and looked like someone just threw together ingredients from the grocery store. I could have made a better salad myself and it wouldn't have cost me $14.99. I'm very disappointed. read more

Restaurant 45 is a wonderful place to visit. It not only has good food, but the people behind the business are great! This is a wonderful local business. My favorites are Salmon Alex on a day I want a sweet dish, Zio's Chicken (a parmesan chicken over potato gnocchi in a cream sauce) and Chicken Blue Eyes (sautéed chicken with breaded eggplant and sharp provolone cheese). They are great every time. read more

Restaurant 45 has become a newly "refound" favorite place! We had our son's rehearsal dinner here about 12 years ago and then forgot about it....we returned recently and now go back! The food is well prepared and plentiful and our waitress was well worth a hefty tip! We like sitting in the lounge or bar area in a booth...it is quiet, unlike the Noon Hill Grill in Medfield, so you can actually have a conversation. We like going home with "doggie bags" and you probably will when you leave Restaurant 45! Then you get to enjoy the food twice! read more

We love the 45! We live just around the corner and the 45 has been our go-to take out place forever! I mean this has been for years. Here's a few of our favorites: Stuffed Haddock, Veal Parm with meat sauce (I gave up a little secret there, the meat sauce is where it's at), oriental chicken salad, the spin/artichoke dip, and the pizzas! Honestly, living so close we have tried most of the menu over the many years we have been dining here, and haven't been disappointed. The pizza crust is something from heaven! While I can't speak to the service because we so rarely dine-in, I can say the place had a really nice renovation done and has been brought up to current style. They always seem to be busy, and you can expect a longer wait for your food then whatever they quote you. However, I hope I don't jinx myself when I say that we have never received the wrong order. Aside from the wait time always being longer then quoted, this place is on point. We recommend it to everyone and hope you enjoy it too! read more

I was the biggest fan of 45 ever, telling everyone who would listen what a fabulous new restaurant had come to the area, but then...45 has gone WAY downhill.Several months ago, I ordered take-out that was simply not edible. Cold pasta diahes, missing french fries on another dish, and extremely strong spinach on a pizza (which was usually outstanding). Yuck. Then I took my out-of-state brother there for dinner, what a mistake. We were seated in that empty, disorganized room in front of the desk to wait "because the bar was full." Finally, we got seated at a table with paper placemats and waited forever to see a waitress, since no one had approached us in the other "waiting area" to take a drink order. The food was mediocre at best although the waitress never inquired!! Still a fan, I returned with my daughters before they returned to campus for 3 disappointing meals out of 3. This strong fan of 45 will never return to this pathetic, enlanged venue.What a shame!! I don't know how they will fill their new space with sub-par food and service. read more

We had our wedding reception here (50 guests) and couldn't have asked for better food or service. The Chicken Picatta, Salmon Nicola, Chicken Marie, and Chicken Parmesan are delicious and the portions are very very generous. The function room is quite nice and is separate from the rest of the restaurant, so the room feels more private. We booked it without seeing the room (we came from CA), and Mark was very helpful in answering our questions. Also, the price was extremely reasonable. Thank you to everyone there, including our servers Mary and Jess, for a lovely wedding reception. read more

I think this is one of the best local restaurant by far. The pasta dishes are great, the seafood excellent and so was the prime rib. also priced right for the quality. Why do I go anywhere else when I'm home? read more

I've enjoyed every meal I've tried for lunch and dinner! The salads, pasta dishes, chicken, steak & fish are all delicious. The zios chicken is so good I've ordered it several times. read more

We drive by this place everyday and have wanted to try it for a while. The parking lot is always packed. We walked in and we stepped back 20 years.The decor is out dated and too dark. The booth was all ripped up . Really slow service. Started off with ice tea that tasted like burnt coffee. They quickly gave us new tea and explained it got mixed up with the coffee.I ordered the shrimp app which was flavorless and the "toast" was soggy and gross. The fisherman's platter had fries that looked like they never hit the fryer soggy and gross. The sauce tasted like it came from a can. $65 for lunch for two in my opinion is crazy especially when I could have made a better meal at home. read more

My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner . I've been telling everyone I know today about my experience , it was my first time going to restaurant 45 . The food was amazing but the service was top notch , our waitress was amazing by far the best experience we have had at a restaurant . The waitress or waiter can make or break your experience at any restaurant you go to no matter how good the food is, the service was amazing and therefore want people to know about this place it's 5 stars !!! We will be going back . read more

Great spot for good food, 5 people in our party & 5 great dishes. Seafood is strong here with creative combinations and delicious sauces. Less formal in the bar & a little more atmosphere in the main dining area. Highly recommend 45. read more

Been hearing about this place and driven by it for years. My boyfriend and I stopped in for the first time this Sat night to try it out. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by our bartender Heather. She was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She was right on top of things and we never felt like we had to wait for anything we wanted. My boyfriend ordered the chicken parm with a side of meatballs while I ordered surf n turf (haddock with filet). Not only were they cooked to perfection, but the portions were hearty! We even made a few new friends who were regulars to the place while sitting there. All in all a fantastic experience. Kudos to Heather at the bar and to the chefs! We will most def be back to visit Heather when she's tending bar on Sat nights! read more

We were attending my Aunt Tillie's graveside service in Milford, MA when the funeral people asked if we had planned a luncheon? Hell, we came from California, we knew nothing around the area after all these years. One of the family suggested Speroni's, which was family to Aunt Tillie, and it was arranged and everyone told how to get there, straight out Milford street from the cemetery, but it is now called Restaurant 45. Not only did they welcome us, they set us up with no notice in a separate room, and we all had a great meal. The meal was so good, my husband and I and other family were back 3 times before we left for home. read more
