“We took a friend out to dinner at Oleana last night for her birthday and it was one of the best meals we’ve had. We loved being able to share and sample so many dishes, and each one was a masterful balancing of herbs, spices and flavors. The service was also top-notch. We can’t wait to return! It’s no surprise that it’s hard to get a reservation.”

“Kyle was so lovely!!! We came in for our friends birthday just for a drink and some oysters and he overheard us talking and brought us free dressed oysters!!! And he took into account that our friend was pescatarian so he removed the bacon on them. So attentive we never even asked. The swordfish pastrami was so so so good and very shareable. The oysters were fresh and the oceanic was able to be made for 3!”

“Only reason 4/5 for atmosphere is that they turned down the lights drastically at around 7 PM weekdays, it was too dark to see your meal properly. However by then my meal was finished. Ramen is delicious, I didnt ask for chili oil as broth was sufficient alone. Ordered one sushi and it was one roll but loosely wrapped in seaweed. Service is quick, I would be surprised if anything takes more than 10 mins. If you with a group, get a table. Two or a pair can share side by side bar/top seating.”

“Had an amazing time last night! We loved the duck wing special as well as the seafood linguini special. Dishes were prepared so meticulously that were just mouth watering. We also ordered the duck breast which was so fresh and not overwhelming. Matt took great care of us at the bar and was so knowledgeable in the menu. His attentiveness and service made the night special. We will be back!”

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!”

“A group of us meet occasionally and play Mahjongg. I wish there were heaters outside for these Fall evenings. It’s so much nicer to be outdoors and playing! The beer is good (try the Lawn Mower….or is it the Snow Blower….I kept forgetting. It’s nice that outside food is allowed as well. Friendly place, good tunes.”

“We had our engagement party at Zuzu's in mid May and it was wonderful! We already knew the snacks, desserts, and wine would be fantastic from our previous visits. What really stood out was how attentive Alexandra was throughout the process. She did an amazing job of setting up our food and bev choices and was very flexible when our guest count changed last minute. We had exactly what we needed and ended up with only a few leftovers. Everyone was so helpful on the day of the event as well! The space was arranged perfectly and already so charming that we barely needed to decorate. We received many compliments from our guests and of course we had a great time as well!”

“Matsunori is a comfort spot I keep going back to. Boston is definitely lacking in terms of handroll places, so the opening of this spot was a win, for sure. The fish quality is pretty good and each handroll is crafted with care (in terms of ingredients pairing). I personally really love the OG miso cod, Eel with foie gras, Mango salmon, and Spicy tuna. All the ingredients mesh perfectly together without overpowering the ⭐ of the show (the fish). While they don’t offer reservations and are usually super busy (weekdays&weekends), today we got there around 7pm (on a weekday) and there was no wait, which was nice. Our server, Duc, was so attentive and helpful. Rolls came out super quick, as always. Definitely recommend checking this place out!!”
