Power Breakfast Spot in Newton?

[julieallen3]

I am looking for an upscale power breakfast spot in Newton, MA. Any suggestions?

Baker's Best on Lincoln Street. Snooty but the food is good.

oh yeah! How could I forget to mention that this place, primarily known for catering, does a very good breakfast! Very close to Rte 9 and the green line. Good idea, Whats.

Breakfast is nothing special, but a lot of business gets done at the Riverbend Restaurant/Lounge in the Newton Marriott on Comm Ave near 128.

I was just about to suggest the same place, and it isn't anything special otherwise.

That was my idea, too. Not great, but many a breakfast meeting there.

Thank you so much! These are both helpful!

I've done a few brekkies there myself, but noticed that they really made the parking a PITA lately at that Marriott with the booth, attendant and stuff. You used to be able to just drive up and park and walk to the restaurant inside the hotel.

When you pull up to the booth, the attendant will ask if you're checking in. Just say yes, give him your name, and take the tag he gives you. Pull in and park. When you're ready to leave, just drive out. I've never had an issue, and have never paid for parking.

Ahh...lying through my teeth. Why didn't I think of that !

If I were to say...tell the truth, I'd be charged for parking? I think I'll just take my extra few bucks and my conscience and go somewhere else, that place isn't worth the hassle for me.

Oh, agreed, I used to park my car there for the day and have my parents pick me up for the holidays when I went to BC, it was the best secret place to park. Back on topic, I agree that the food is nothing special at Riverbend, but it's not bad.

While not upscale, a lot of serious business gets done at Johnny's in Newton Centre on weekday mornings.

15 years ago i used to like that place. Went back this past year and didnt see what all the fuss was about. Loud, overcrowded, seats too close, too many screaming kids, waited forever and the food was not only very average but very overpriced.

Haven't been but I think that the new Hotel Indigo, which is fancy and new, should have a nice breakfast place, maybe in their fancy restaurant Boxk 109. Located near Riverside Station.
