“Such a unique and special experience and meal. I went in without a reservation and was able to get a seat. Coolest restaurant menu I’ve ever seen, annotated with so much meaning and history behind every ingredient and dish. I ordered two drinks, a main, and a side. Everything was delicious. After eating, I spent some time sipping a drink on the couch/lounge area looking at their books. An immersive cultural experience. I will be back. You can tell this place has so much love and energy behind it.“

“As per usual my favorite bar wish it was closer to where I live! They also have more small plate options which is great! Their attention to detail with music, cocktails, glassware, knowledge of many things never goes unnoticed and a great amount of cat statues around the room! As well as beautiful murals and Star Wars memorabilia. Can't wait to go back when I lived in Massachusetts I was there way more often! Impeccable service wonderful to watch the bartender move flawlessly they were from Arkansas awesome style! Music was phoenix, say anything, the strokes, Radiohead etc. they also have a special pop up nerd boi Monday? where they have board games, big screen video games and cocktails inspired by all the cool things!“

“Got no pics for this as everything was too good to stop and snap a pic. But just know, you should go here if you want a slightly more unique dining experience in Boston. Sit at the bar for the full experience, as the bartenders are very helpful/knowledgeable. It's a cocktail bar with amazing drinks but don't sleep on the food. It's the real deal. Salmon crudo was incredible, perfect amount of tartness. Braised lamb parpaldelle was delicious as expected, and the carbonara I believe is one of the best around. Highly recommend this spot.“

“A neighborhood hidden gem? A surprisingly good restaurant with hearty, delicious food.The Detroit style pizza was unique and the corner crust is absolutely to die for!Furthermore, the grapefruit tequila sour had a cinnamon flare that ingeniously balanced the bitterness.Why not 5 stars? Perogi’s were only okay, they were oily and not crispy. As for value, the bill was around $80 for: 2 mains, 1 app, 1 soda, 1 cocktail and a 20% tip. Slightly more than anticipated but the food and drink were very good.In all, 4.5/5. Definitely try it out!“

“Rewriting my review because the place has changed hands and changed menus. Pleasantly surprised to see that brunch was still on the menu, and even more pleasantly surprised to see these awesome Indian brunch fusion dishes. We got the butter chicken eggs Benedict and the masala chai French toast. It was super fun and delicious, definitely considering becoming a regular. My only regret is that the portions have shrunk somewhat since the previous owners.“

Empanadas

“Located upstairs in Bow Market, Nook is a great little cocktail bar with really cozy decor/ambiance and a diverse menu of drinks. Service was pretty quick and the server came around occasionally throughout the night to ensure we were satisfied which was a nice experience. The seating situation isn't particularly plentiful, but we were lucky enough to snag a table as some folks were leaving in the corner of one of the booths. The drink variety they had was very nice and reasonably priced - I would gladly get anything they have listed the next time I'm in the area. If you're in the mood for some post dinner drinks, Nook is definitely a strong contender near Union Square. Looking forward to returning one day in the future when I'm in the area again!“

“Came here after a disappointing trip to another wine bar close by. Was greeted by the nicest person who gave us recommendations and suggestions. This person was working alone but was able to check in on us and ask if we had questions. Love the fact you can also buy some of the bottles to take home. You can also get takeout from their parent restaurant next door. Will be back for sure!“
