“This place does not miss. I have been here many times for friends birthdays, anniversaries or family dinners and they are always extraordinary. The wait staff is professional, the drinks taste amazing (but are still strong), and the steak is some of the best I have ever had. The bread is always fresh that they bring to the table and the side are all very tasty. I highly recommend the tomahawk steak and a dirty martini from this place. A match made in heaven.“
“The crème brûlée is BOMB! And so are all the sides, and the tiramisu! NY Strip and the ribeye were also pretty good! Lovely ambiance and GREAT service. Service is surprisingly fast, as well, at least at lunchtime. I usually eat at the bar.“
“La Voile offers a cozy and trendy atmosphere with excellent service and classic French cuisine. The portions come with the fine dining territory, but the quality is outstanding.Extended: Nestled in a charming setting, La Voile exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, making it a delightful destination for those seeking classic French cuisine. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism, setting the tone for a memorable dining experience.The restaurant's ambiance is cozy yet trendy, with stylish decor and a welcoming atmosphere. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the carefully curated wine list to the impeccably presented dishes.While the portions at La Voile may be smaller than some diners are accustomed to, the quality more than makes up for it. Each dish is beautifully plated (though I was unable to capture the excellence on camera) and bursting with flavor.I would like to note that the liver pâté was served generously but with a slight oversight in the amount of accompanying bread. However, this minor hiccup did not detract from the overall excellence of our meal.The menu at La Voile offers a range of classic French dishes, each prepared with care and attention to detail. From the rich and decadent sauces to the perfectly cooked proteins, every bite was a delight.La Voile is a charming restaurant that excels in both service and cuisine. While the portions may be small, the quality is exceptional, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate quality over quantity.“
“We had an absolutely phenomenal time at MIDA!! The Caesar salad, the spacatelli al pesto, and the tiramisu were particularly incredible, and the whole team was so kind and welcoming! Absolutely the best place for date night and to celebrate my birthday ? “
“We came from Chicago to explore Boston. After we visited Bunker Hill, we were looking for a place to hide from the rain. The only place that was close was the "Brewer's Forks". Honestly we were pretty skeptical at first, but we were extremy delighted by the very tasy, delicious food and warm and nice atmosphere. We loved it so much that we decided to stop by the next day again before we went to the airport! We met Jeorge and Kyle who are very professional, polite and nice guys. They helped us choose from their very interesting and outstanding pizza flavors. We have never tried such delicious pizza before. Also the big variety draft beers was very impressive. I would recommend everyone to visit this place. Delicious and authentic food all made fresh at the restaurant, professional stuff and warm atmosphere, everything that you need to feel good!!!“
“When visiting a French restaurant expectations are high. The food tends to be exquisite and some dishes are here. The Foie Gras is amazing and so are all the deserts we tried. However the escargot which is something I always try at French restaurants was only ok.The service varies on who your server is as we had friends who came to the restaurant after we sat and we ordered before they even got their menus and yet they had their appetizers first. When looking for someone to call for a refill and even when we wanted the menus for desert, it is very difficult to catch anyone looking at your table as if each waiter will only look at their own table only. On the bright side they brought us water as soon as we sat and refilled it often. That is how I would get someone's attention...finish my water so someone could come by and I could ask for something.The place is very small and you will have to be a party of two and be lucky to get a table without a reservation, which is what happened with our friends..who came in a little after we sat and were hoping they could sit with us, but with such little space it seemed unlikely they would even be able to get a table but as they were asking a table for two was leaving.Its rather on the expensive side which can be understood with the quality of some of the dishes, however I would except everything to be great for these prices.Its a good place with potential to be great.“
“Always a delicious meal prepared and served by a great team. If you like watching how the magic happens, book the chef's counter. And order the crispy chickpeas to start--delicious. We had a toasted farro pasta with deliciously earthy mushrooms and the wild boar bolognese. The fennel salad and chicken liver mousse were scrumptious.“
“stuffed cabbage (rice + pork) smothered in tomato sauce. middle — grilled kielbasa on a bed of ‘bigos’ aka hunters stew (fresh & cured meats + mushrooms + sauerkraut) right — variety of boiled pierogis + caramelized onions & bacon bits. everything deserves the ‘chefs kiss’ rating. this is a sampler type plate, but it was the perfect dinner that day.“
“This was a really good restaurant. Very authentic Italian cuisine. Food was all amazing. Jeff, our waiter was the nicest most cordial man I've ever met has a very sociable personality. He gave us good recommendations on what to order and was very accommodating. You could close your eyes and point to any random dish on this menu and you will NEVER be disappointed. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone.“
“I attended an event yesterday at this amazing Restaurant. The atmosphere is so inviting, the drinks were delicious. Food was absolutely scrumptious. And the staff all so kind and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in for a cocktail or dinner, you won’t be disappointed!!!“
“This place was truly decadent. Their wine list was to die for, and I savored every bite of food I ordered. The most incredible part of the meal was a tie between the anchovie toast, and the tinned fish. If you are like me and look for a bunch of little yummy bites from all different dishes- this is the place for you! I went with three of my gal pals and we all shared everything (including the wine) and it was awesome. The seating is limited so you should definitely reserve ahead, but whether it's a girl's night, romatic date, or seat for one at the bar, you should definitely check this place out!“
“At Barcelona and it has been amazing. I visit the Atlanta location often but they do not have Elizabeth. Found out that the company trained her for a Manager role and I think it was the best decision they could have made. She should write a book on the service industry and how to do it right. I am thankful for the experience and her time at this location. #winebar #goodservice #boston #bostonfoodies #bostonstrong“
“One of the first places me and my boyfriend went to while he was visiting Boston. The steak was flavorful and buttery, and the sides were up to par. The tots!!! So so good. Our drinks were exactly according to our taste. I like sweeter drinks so the bar made a drink just for me. Would go here again if I need to go to a restaurant that I know is good and won't upset anyone.“
“Welcome and friendly service, the pasta is perfectly cooked and the accompaniments are delicious. The pesto sauce is a bouquet of flavor and the shrimp pasta a watercolor of taste and texture.The service is fast, attentive, excellent value for money ?, very pleasant time ?“
“Service was outstanding. So many people to help to make the dinner experience everything you want. The food was fresh, homemade, and delicious . The oysters and scallops were so tender. My pasta dish with morel mushrooms so savory and tasty!“
“Was here with a friends for a bday dinner. It was absolutely delicious from drinks to mains and to dessert. We had their private room and it was so great to make all the noise in there. Totally recommend everything but our favorites was the croquettes, patatas bravas, shrimp in garlic and the salad. But totally do the omakase pre doze meal they have. Let them do all the thinking. Sit back and drink and stuff your face. Can't wait to go back. Service was phenomenal too!!“
“Our dinners were seasoned with a lot of spicy which the menu/ingredients did not specify. Although we enjoy some spicy in our food, we would have chosen something else if the server would have indicated so since the dish description on the menu did not. The music was so very loud and we could not hear ourselves talking, while heading out we walked out with 3 other couples we did not know who made the same comment. We could not hold a conversation over the loud music.“
“I would certainly return to this restaurant. The bread isn't very good with artificial butter but don't let this deter you. Everything (except beef tartare)made up for the bad first impression. Beef bourguignon - 5 stars Filet mignon - 5 stars Tartare de boeuf - 3 stars (didn't come with chips contrary to the description.and was very acidic) Foie gras sautee - 5 stars Cocktails - 4 stars - no better or worse than you typical cocktails Crème brûlée - 5 stars - hard to go wrong here but delicious Service - 5 stars - our waiter was so friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience excellent. Hands down the best service I've had in Boston. I would give him 10 stars if I could“
“We had a reservation for Easter brunch, and upon arrival saw that the bar was empty, so we decided to sit there instead. Friendly bartender greeted us and offered drinks promptly. Ordered an asparagus strudel off the brunch specials, and it was outstanding. We both got the scrambled egg plate for our mains. The plate came out looking great except the bacon was not cooked. Just limp bacon not living up to its potential. I would've told the bartender but he never came over to check on us after our food was dropped. Would come back and try a meal again though.“
“Went on a Saturday night, had the pleasure of being seated and taken care of by Gwynne and cooked for by Miles. Incredible service, wonderful food, and amazing wine recommendations. Couldn’t name a better place in Southie, let alone Boston. Dates, family visits, drinks with friends - bring them all here and make sure you ask for Gwynne and give a shout to Miles (get the pickles)! Will be back ASAP“
“Everything about Limoncello’s is terrific. I started back in the early 2000’s having lunch when visiting family that lives in Chelsea. Then we came this past summer for my son’s 10th birthday. We dined there Friday and Saturday night this past weekend because my son loves it so much. If you haven’t tried it, then get there! It’s the best I’ve had in the North End! Maurizio is a gentleman and his family treated us wonderfully. Chico is a great server and LuLu is quick witted, kind, and BEAUTIFUL! Every staff member was great…especially one person that really made my boy feel special.“
“It's really a great place!!I was visiting BOS for work right on Valentine's Day and saw great reviews about this place and wanted to try it, but it was fully booked. I came to see if it was any space at the bar, but it was booked as well, but RODIJA was kind enough to find me a spot in the corner of the bar. I really appreciate that.At the bar, LUIS Fernando was super friendly and professional as well. I had a Ceviche for an appetizer and a stake for the main course and were delicious.I also had a pizco sour that was really well made.I will definitely come back in future trips to try some more dishes and recommend them to my family and friends traveling to Boston.Thank PURO team. !!I came back the next day and had Aguachile and fish tacos and were delicious as well.“
“I came here for an anniversary dinner and it was an excellent choice. I had a vegan ravioli special which was great. The introductory bread and dip are also vegan and delicious. My partner had another ravioli that was a special and raved about it.“
“Love this place! It's the perfect date spot! It's the perfect gathering of about 4 friends spot! The food and service is always on point. it seems as if the staff is committed to you enjoying every single drop of wine and food that touches your tongue. I love this place and can't find a bad thing to say about it.“
“We got seated right away at our reservation time. Our server and the staff was excellent, very knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive but not over the top, we didn't feel rushed. The food was very good, the menu has a great variety, almost too much as it is hard to decide. One of our favorite places in the North End.“
“Fantastic brunch! Layla’s has a wide variety of options for food and I left with plenty of leftovers. Favorite items were definitely the Cinnabon Pancakes—they were extremely thick and fluffy. Great texture and not too sweet. The burger (royale) was also just an excellent burger with good sauce.The only thing that I’m not sure I would order again was the brunch bowl. The eggs came over medium so the yolk wasn’t oozing over the rest of the bowl. Also, the portions of each item felt a little off. It definitely could have used more Brussels sprouts and bacon, but there were a lot of the breakfast potatoes. It was still great, just a little disappointing compared to the rest of the amazing food. I would love to come back here to try even more food!“
“The Amar has an exquisite high ceiling interior and besides the food and service, that is definitely what you are paying for. The service was great, friendly, and efficient. And the appetizers and desert were also really good. However, I was a little disappointed in the cod fish main course. It was quite hard and tasted more toward a grilled fish than cod. But nonetheless I had a good experience, especially with the hospitality I received right when I exited the 17th floor lifts.“
“Lively place with great food. Good service. Only issue is that they don't do tableside downstairsVegetarian options: Good flavorful optionsParking: It's north end so parking is hard but sister restaurant declined to valet due to capacity but did recommend paid lot“
“Very cute and cozy, and we had great service. Loved the menu options and our drinks were great. We had the brussels sprouts, pork entree, and chicken mushroom risotto entree. The food was good, but could have been a bit better for the price. It was definitely a cute place for a date night overall, with a pretty convenient location.“
“Great location in the theatre district. Good value, and a plus that it's not too loud. Easily accommodated a wheelchair in our party. We had the ahi tuna tacos which were great (except are served with flour tortilla instead of corn tortillas). We also enjoyed the pear salad - perfect to split with two or three as an appetizer. Tempura green beans were as promised with two delicious sauces.“
“Absolutely delightful! The food selection is incredible, and all of our selections were done to perfection. Very nice wine list - something for everyone. Of course, an ample cocktail list. Attentive waitstaff who do not hover. Cozy environment.Thoroughly enjoyed our meal and time there. Will definitely go again.“
“Beautiful restaurant, excellent service, late night menu with limited, but delicious options! Everything was great, except for the bathrooms. They were unbelievably filthy, trash everywhere, disgusting. Management needs to have someone empty the trash and clean up every so often.“
“The best flavour I ever tasted in a Chicken sauce with pasta. Excellent service and ambience. The four of us asked for different plates and everyone said it was delicious. I strongly suggest you to go there. Downstairs there is a bar and ambiance couldn’t be better. I loved it.“
“This is the cutest little place in the North End of Boston. The kids had a pepperoni pizza and a Margherita. We loved the chicken parmigiana and the gnocchi. Bryan, our server, was so sweet, attentive and welcoming. We will be back again on our next trip!“
“Quick seating, excellent service, great wine. Food tested great we had calamari and hummus for appetizers they were very tasty as well, i had the lamb shank which arrived steaming and hot. Lamb tasted great the sauce and veggies were tasty as well.. my son had the chicken i think he was s bit dissatisfied with portion thats whay i gave 4 stars but it was overall great experience and i would definitely comeback and also recommend this restaurant to anyone.“
“Wonderful experience. Arrived ridiculously early for our reservations and were seated immediately. Our server made excellent recommendations...in particular for the wine!The manager, hostess and two additional employees checked in on us to make sure all was well. Did I mention the food was amazing?! Thank you to the entire Strega Back Bay staff.“
“If you’re looking for a cozy and quaint oyster bar in the South End, you have to give B&G Oysters a try! It is the perfect spot for a date-night or special occasion. It is very cozy and intimate. I wouldn’t recommend it for large groups, given the limited space.We decided to stop in to celebrate my mother’s birthday with some raw oysters. I would strongly recommend a reservation, especially given the limited seating and space. I am glad we made a reservation, as the place quickly filled up on a rainy/slushy Thursday evening.B&G is located in Boston’s South End. The entrance is around the side of the business, right off their outdoor patio. I look forward to returning when we have better weather to truly enjoy the patio! It looked like the perfect place to enjoy oysters on a gorgeous day!B&G is mainly known for their oysters and raw bar offerings. The raw bar is expansive and offers raw oysters, raw little-neck, and raw cherrystone clams.They offer multiple raw oyster options to suit every taste and preference. We prefer a larger, creamier oyster. Our server was well-educated on the day’s offerings and explained the flavor profile of each variety offered, as well as the location where the oyster is procured.The menu also offers fresh shrimp cocktail, crab cocktail, Jonah crab claws, and ceviche. If you are a fan of caviar, they offer three different types. For the larger appetite, they offer a “caviar flight”, as well as seafood towers with a solid variety.If you’re not a raw-bar fan, no worries! They have a solid selection of appetizers. You’ll find fried calamari, fried oysters, tuna tataki, and more. They also have a small selection of fresh salads and of course, clam chowder.The entree menu may be on the smaller side. However, everything here is incredible. They offer classics like Fish and Chips, Lobster Rolls, and Fried Clams. You’ll also see unique offerings, like Branzino.We decided to start off with some raw bar offerings. We are huge fans of raw oysters, so we took the recommendations of our server. We went with a dozen oysters, half Wellfleet and half Martha’s Vineyard.The oysters were exactly as described by our server. The oysters were medium to large size and they were some of the best I have had in the city. They were clean, no sand or bits to break a tooth on. Everything is shucked and prepared in an open kitchen.Next, we decided to order a few of the shrimp cocktail and the crab cocktail. The shrimp were medium in size, cleaned properly, and incredibly fresh. No odd aftertaste. The crab cocktail was a generous portion, highly recommend it with a side of their toasted bread. It is plenty to share and is very rich.For the main course, we decided to order the Whole Branzino. It is served with an incredible caramello sauce, charred lemon, and a crisp tomato/cucumber salad. The fish was cooked perfectly and our server was kind enough to assist in “de-boning” the Branzino.The Branzino was super light and flavorful. The caramello sauce is truly incredible and is wonderful on the fish. The tomato/cucumber salad was juicy and crisp and complemented the fish perfectly. My only complaint is that we didn’t EACH order a fish. It is THAT good. The best I have had.We will certainly be back. The Lobster Roll and Spicy Clam Linguine is on our list for the next visit! The service is top-notch and the servers are actually educated on the raw offerings of the day. That is a rare thing these days! Pours are also very generous.We cannot wait to come back for more oysters and to enjoy a meal on their outdoor patio. It looks like the perfect spot to kick back with some fresh oysters on a beautiful day!My only suggestion would be is to offer a larger dessert menu. That was the only thing that left a bit to be desired. Aside from that, one of our new favorites in Boston!Parking: Parking is very difficult, if not impossible. You can wait and get lucky and snag a street spot a block or two down and walk it. Otherwise, I’d suggest garage parking or take an Uber.Any other parking in the area is mainly resident-only, permit“
“We went for brunch with our 9 year old. We got 2 spicy bloody Mary's, highly recommended, and the steak tartare. I do wish it came with 6 chips not 4. Our server steered me to the croque madame over the beouf benidict, it was one of the best I've ever had in my life. We had crème brûlée a Negroni and an espresso martini. Can't wait to go back at night for the escargot.“
“The waiters have always been a constant for me here. I’ve been coming here for years, a go to spot in the north end for me. Last time I was in, they were hustling with reservations and when we were seated they were as hospitable as they always are and brought us over complimentary chocolate cake to top off dinner. Thank you wait staff!!!“
“we did a few rounds of apps and entrees to split between four of us and these were great! meat in the bao was tender and my friends were so obsessed w the deep fried ball things that they ordered another round (a lil too rich for me but no hate). chips got soggy too fast and flavors kinda clashed if it sat for too long“
“The food and wine was excellent, our waiter made some great suggestions for wine pairings too. I really enjoyed my time here. It can get a little bit loud, but that's to be expected for a smaller venue. I was still able to chat with my friends no issue though.“
“Ordered takeout of several items off the menu for dinner with my partner.Jollof Rice w/ Bean and plantain: The Jollof was not my favorite. However, the beans and plantain were both excellent. Perfectly cooked and flavorful.Goat Pepper Soup: I really liked this item. It had just the right amount of spice and kick that I was looking for. The goat meat was soft and tender as well.Moi Moi: I loved this. I'm a big fan of Moi Moi and this did not disappoint.Efo Riro: This was by far the highlight for me. The dish was very flavorful.Will definitely check this place out next time I'm in the mood for some Nigerian food.“
“THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE KRASI STAFF.The hostess Jasmine is a GEM! She truly made our day. She went above and beyond for us!Every single staff member was so friendly, kind and welcoming.
