Craving foie gras so found the best foie gras in town. This Michelin recommended spot in back bay looks low-key on the outside but is clearly hiding main character energy. Prix fixe menu ($125) and a minimalist vibe. Also... the silverware is hidden in a drawer?? So fun. The foie gras was easily the best I've had! Perfectly seared - melts like butter but somehow not greasy, and the shell thing added a crunchy texture. Another dish I was super impressed by was the cabbage, they gave this super common veggie a new lift by pairing it with a savory toasted bread sauce and most importantly truffle! The cocoa-rubbed venison with black garlic glaze was so unique. Meat was chewy, and the radish gave it a refreshing taste. The cauliflower came out like art, with the savory kale puree and crispy chicken skin. I don't love veggies but those dishes are seriously so delicious I can eat cauliflower all day. Service was pretty fast and attentive, but it would be nice to have some sort of acknowledgement for a special occasion celebration. Overall the dishes were mind-blowing, you could tell the chef sacrificed some brain cells to come up with those. read more

My absolute favorite restaurant in all of Boston! Used to live right he across the street from here and was always stoked for their chicken sandwich days. They're so good I've driven out from NYC just to get them. I've only had the pleasure of coming here for chicken sandwiches, lemonade, and their sweets but it's truly something magical. Everyone who works there is incredibly nice and great at what they do! The restaurant lay out is so wonderful and is really just the perfect place to enjoy a meal. I can't wait for my next opportunity to be back! read more

We had the most magical dinner at Asta last night. The weather spoiled us and gave us an impromptu private dining experience. Shish and Nora our wonderful host for the evening pampered us with otherworldly wine pairings.....and the food!! The chefs beautifully showcased late winter vegetables....don't sleep on the lovingly prepared pile of cabbage. Can't wait to return. read more

Dinner at Asta was a soul-nourishing, inspiring, and genuinely transformative experience -- in the very best way. From the moment we walked through the door, we felt wrapped in warmth. Calling the staff "friendly" doesn't do them justice. At restaurants of this caliber, service can sometimes feel formal or high-pressure, as if every detail must be executed with surgical precision. Asta does execute every detail flawlessly, yet the energy is the complete opposite -- charming, human, welcoming. Everyone we interacted with was so knowledgeable and sincere that we wanted them to pull up a chair and join us. We absolutely adored Sheesh (sp?), who is absolutely crushing it. We added a couple of supplements to the tasting menu, including the Pho Gras -- which was nothing short of revelatory. I say this as someone who has dined at many world-class restaurants: it is the greatest broth I have ever tasted in my life, hands down. Pure umami that literally made me say, "Oooh, Mommy!" I savored every single drop in astonishment. Another standout was the venison, which had A5 wagyu tenderness -- just incredible. I live in LA, but I will visit Asta every single time I'm in Boston. An unforgettable meal from a team that pours heart, talent, and genuine joy into everything they do. There is a painting of Zeus holding a lightning bolt on the wall, uncovered during a renovation. It's no coincidence that the Gods have blessed this spot. It is divine in every way. read more

Of all the tasting menus in Boston, save your money and skip this one. The short is we left hungry and sober after spending a bit over $500 with tip on dinner with pairings for 2. Half of the dishes were ones we've had better versions of at other restaurants with one element that felt like they were trying to put a clumsy spin on a classic. One halved grape sitting in the bottom of a truffle agnolotti and two large chunks of orange in an acidic squash soup stand out as particularly odd. Some of the wine pairings overwhelmed the dishes instead of complementing them, although the passionfruit dessert and duck with their pairings were notable exceptions and were excellent. There was an inconsistent level of seasoning, with some dishes like the halibut falling completely flat. The service was good, although the descriptions of each dish were brief, matching the depth of flavor. The presentation was mixed, some were beautifully plated and others felt like they'd just ladled/slapped it on. Based on other reviews, we were expecting unique, innovative, and complex dishes and instead found ourself discussing during each course other restaurants that had made the same dish better. Finally, there were fewer courses presented than listed on their sample menu online, which would have been an unpleasant surprise if we had enjoyed the food more. read more

We had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary at Asta. While it doesn't boast the same elegant decor of Deauxave next door, it amply makes up for it by offering one of the finest tasting menus I've tried in Boston. It goes toe-to-toe (and I'd even dare to say, surpasses) some well-known Boston institutions such as Mooncusser, SRV, and the former Menton and No. 9 Park. The soft shell crab, duck, and foie gras were all winners, and the vegetables all incredibly fresh. Service is very prompt and polished, and they so graciously accommodated a number of dietary restrictions. Overall, a dinner to remember and a restaurant we will surely return to! read more

Service was perfect, as was the venue and vibe. Food was very very good--the foie supplement is 1000% worth it, the cheese course was fine but not a must-add. My only almost-complaint is that I really wasn't wild about the pairing. It felt like they were a little too creative--we had a sake, a beer, and TWO orange wines--and things didn't necessarily harmonize with the food. The foie gras needs a dessert wine!!! But still, overall a wonderful night and we left very happy! read more

My husband and I had the vegetarian tasting menu and we were blown away. From the kind, attentive service (they paced the courses perfectly so we could make our symphony show) to the true originality of each plate (how sadly common is boring/low-effort vegetarian food! not at Asta), we were totally delighted. We'll be back!! read more

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. And if you have been and think differently, I would question your sanity and whether we could be friends. If we were dating, I probably would have to end it. I literally don't even know where to start. If the bill wasn't hundreds of dollars, I would laugh, but I guess they are the ones laughing since they have all my money and I left wanting McDonald's (which I don't even eat normally). Run do not walk away from your dining reservation. Please. I beg of you. My husband had booked this place for a birthday dinner as we were visiting Boston. The fine dining scene here is sub-par and limited to begin with - no Michelin restaurants and not much out there. As soon as I yelped this place and I went on the website I knew this was going to not be good......go on their website now. Could they BE more pretentious? Get there and are seated quickly anyway. Ambiance is decent- no complaints. Very small but makes it intimate. Waiter comes up to us and it's just super weird from the start. We were told there would be a six course meal tonight and that everything would be a surprise in a manner and self-styling than screamed Williamsburg and further pretentiousness. I asked to see an actual menu because there are certain things I don't like and was considering the vegetarian option (which the waiter said they had no menu for). I also asked for a wine list and he said they also didn't have that but asked me what I liked. I said a glass of Pinot Grigio sounded good and they said they did not have that either but they could bring me a sample of something "in the style of Pino Grigio." Omg this place is so much work. What they arrived with had bubbles and I tried again with a Sauvignon Blanc which was of course a jerk pour but whatever. Again, you don't even know if they are bringing you a $15 or $40 glass of wine. Not cool. My husband paid so idk how much it was but not right. Also apparently when recapping this misery of an evening with my husband, he noted that they didn't even itemize the bill. Went with the regular menu but asked to sub out the duck for anything else. They said they could do fennel (which I also hate) but this was exhausting already so I said fine. They wound up bringing out fish.... not fennel?? Idk but that was better than fennel as a main course. But again, what is happening here? Food: Horrific. I've never experienced such garbage in my life. Presentation was decent but the food itself had absolutely no flavor. Bland as hell as other helpers have commented on. I wanted to ask for salt and pepper. And while they did the normal "fancy restaurant weird pairings" such as carrots and diced escargot and lemongrass and ice cream, none of it worked at all. And the food was lukewarm. I gave my husband all of it to eat. I seriously mean 1/10 here and when you factor in the price and pretentiousness 0/10. I wouldn't eat here again if it were free. I'd literally rather go to Applebee's. Also the portion sizes are absurdly small. See pics. read more

I greatly enjoyed my meal at asta. Dishes were creative and delicious. The tasting was heavy on vegetables and being a meat eater I was surprised how satisfying these dishes were. Flavors were bold on the main courses l. The vegetable dishes were more delicate in flavor, but still very good. IThe staff is also very nice. I came solo and felt right at home. I will absolutely be coming here again. I was told the menu does change every few weeks as well. I forget the nuances of the dish but here is an overall review 1)White gazpacho salmon broth - very delicate. Very freshing. The salmon roe added some saltiness that elevated the dish 4/5 2)Some sort of pea salad wit mushrooms. Very simple and delicate with a bit of acidity. Very good though 5/5 3) Squash with mackerel and corn- so savory and delicious. Some crispiness added great texture. The mackerel really elevated the dish 5/5 4) stripped bass- another delicious dish. Perfectly cooked with crispy skin with a savory butter sauce to go with it 5/5 5) lamb saddle with stinging nettles- perfectly cooked. The nettles added great flavor to the unseasoned lamb 4/5 Supplement dish Foie gras perfect sear on top and perfectly creamy 5/5 Invierno cheese over dandelion 4/5 tasty! Dessert Raspberry rhubarb sorbet- 5/5 refreshing and full of so much flavor Strawberry rhubarb with angel cake frosting? Very light and refreshing. Good way to end the night Highly recommend. Give this place a shot! read more

We had an amazing meal at Asta last weekend. We had the tasking menu plus the foie gras add on and wine pairings. It was so much fun. We loved the butternut squash soup with cod fritters (I thought they were a tad too salty, my partner did not). Next was the rutabaga with puffed rice which was warm and peppery. The ricotta agnolotti with truffle was devine. So was the sablefish with broccoli and a kind of buckwheat. The foie gras with roasted pineapple was maybe the best foie gras I've ever had. The palette cleanser was mandarin oranges with oat milk foam and crunchy oats, and dessert was a sweetened squash. We loved every bite! I didn't love the first thing we were served - duck liver in a crisp. I am not a huge liver fan and it tasted like liver! :). And the steak with beets was fine, but not out of this world. Loving 6 our of 8 courses seems like a great score. I asked for a non-alcoholic wine pairing, and everything they served was so good. We left with a small bag and salt and pepper candied popcorn and some sesame candy. Yum! Overall, the creative and inventive meal was one of the best we've had in Boston in a long time. We look forward to coming back again. Keep up the great work, Asta! read more

Amazing food, atmosphere and cuisine. The service was first class all the way. I can't wait to go back here

Asta, is one of the worst restaurants in Boston. My wife and I are both vegan and were excited to experience their tasting menu. We expected the small portion sizes but hoped for a variety of tastes and flavors to go along with the experience. Instead, what we received was a bland, uninspired mess of an evening. Each dish was worse than the next, leaving such a foul taste in your mouth that the wine pairing became mandatory as a palate cleanser. To make things worse, the quality of the food being served was below what you'd find at a traditional chain restaurant. From the limp cabbage to the "earthy" potatoes, nothing that was presented even came close to what you would expect from a similar dining experience elsewhere. Dishes were served at inappropriate lukewarm temperatures,"creative" dishes didn't mesh together(especially the raspberry potatoes), and there was really no experience or atmosphere to speak of. Possibly the worst part of all is that it took almost 3 hours from start to finish to end our horror of an evening. At the very least, they could have bought us all of our bland food quickly so that we could leave and find some joy literally anywhere else in the world. A meal for two with a shared wine paring costs $330. For the experience we had, I would have felt better about myself if I'd simply been mugged outside of the restaurant. At least that way I would have had the opportunity to resist being taken advantage of. If you are in Boston, and looking for a place that serves an enjoyable edible meal, please save yourself the trouble and avoid Asta at all costs. The combination of their prices, food quality, and lack of atmosphere make Asta truly one of the worst experiences money can buy. read more

It was a nice experience. The space is very nice, the staff was great and the overall ambience worked well. Food portions were ok for this kind of service and I was full by the time we were done. However the food was so bland. There wasn't a single dish that I'd consider memorable. Two of the dishes base was corn adding to the little variation in food. Dish presentation was also meh for a place like this. $18 for a mid tier glass of white wine seems like a lot, even in Boston. read more

Continues to be the best restaurant in Boston. Most creative and well executed tasting menu available anywhere

*DINER ALERT!* My partner and I are foodies and accustomed to smaller portions with tasting menus, it's all about the flavors and ambiance. I'm also sensitive to post-pandemic staffing and food supply challenges. However the tasting menu at Asta is a COMPLETE RIPOFF. The first course (a tiny piece of charred leek) didn't arrive until 30 minutes in. The first 3 vegetable courses were each hardly even a full bite. The 4th dish- soft shell crab -- was also very small, and the next- duck -arrived cold. A few times our waiter asked how everything was, I gave honest answers and he just walked away without replying. Very subpar service for the price. We ended up going to halal guys after leaving Asta because we were still hungry. Do yourself a favor and skip this restaurant- it's a scam. read more

Really great restaurant with a nice take out option during covid. For only $30, you can get a delicious meal for take out! We decided to try it for date night and were not disappointed. They have daily meals and you can also add on desserts and other things like soup stock and chili. We were pleasantly surprised with a little appetizer of Deanne sesame caramel popcorn and a leek salad. The main was lamb stew with bulgar pilaf. Portions were huge (see photo!) And I couldn't even finish mine, even though it was really good. Would definitely recommend checking out their take out options during covid and beyond! read more

I'm writing this to save the next person who may walk in the door. The good of the night was service as they are very friendly.

Then we got the bill and realized they had the last laugh. read more

Wonderful food and wonderful service! The restaurant is easy to get to in Back Bay. We had a 7pm reservation and when we arrived were seated promptly and given a glance of sparkling wine free of charge. If you don't know, Asta is a tasting menu type restaurant. The standard is a 6 course meal with two optional courses. The menu changes daily and when we came, during Covid, the two optional courses were foie gras and/or connecticut cheese. Food overall was Excellent 9/10 The plates were all unique and had a variety of flavors. The squid, duck and dessert were my favorites. Two of us also decided to try the cheese and it was excellent. Wine 10/10 We had the German Riesling it was excellent and even our non drinking members thought it was good. Service - 10/10 Very good and attentive service. As mentioned our party really enjoyed this place and I'd definitely come back. Only note is that it could be a bit pricey. I don't know the whole price but for the extra 2 cheese plates and wine we were at $160. read more

8.5/10: Asta is one of Boston's better known tasting menu restaurants. They have a rotating menu with local ingredients in an open kitchen. I'd recommend sitting at the high top, so you can take in all the action. The chef was trained in both the traditional/local (L'Espalier) and experimental/foreign (Noma). You can see both influences at Asta. The preparation relies on French principles. Think pures and clean presentations. But there's a bit of edginess with their stone plating and foams. That all being said, nothing was a stand out. The scallops were nicely prepared. Otherwise, the flavors were a bit muted. Most dishes skewed towards a light acidity. I would've loved to see more contrast. read more

As much as it pains me to write a negative review of this chic spot, it it's simply not worth the price. As a diner who has attended many different tasting menu restaurants, Asta's food could not justify the prices (and I have spent more at tasting restaurants that I would attend again). To put it plainly: Too. Many. Root. Vegetables. It practically became a joke with my family and I throughout the meal. My parents both ordered the 5 course meal, and after a turnip, they received a large hunk of celery root with shaved truffle that quite literally tasted more like dirt than truffle. The 5 course meal was about $80, so paying 16 dollars for two very similar, large root vegetables felt silly. The best dish was the lamb, and the cod was okay. I ordered the 8 course menu, and for one of my courses, again it was a half of a sweet potato with glaze and was simply too much for a tasting menu--especially given it was another root vegetable after following a potato Latke. There were definitely dishes I enjoyed such as the venison and the beet (another root veggie) with oxtail I believe. The food wasn't bad (besides the celery root), but the price was simply not justified in the slightest. It had promise with the chic ambiance, minimalist decor, and friendly staff, but take your $400 elsewhere. read more

As the reviews and the website say, tasting menu only. Your only choice is how many courses and whether you drop for the wine pairings. They claim that the 8 course is more creative. I'll believe it. We had some weird but great vegetable items -- mushroom dumpling with celeriac skin, charred pumpkin leaves in tomato, and a cabbage cornbread dessert were the most memorable. It was a perfect amount of food for the slightly hungry but not ravenous -- it's tasting, but not the two bite portions you may fear. Definitely one of the better meals I've had this year. I would get the wine pairings. First, you go through such a variety of dishes that it's almost impossible for one bottle to meet them all. Second, they are generous with the pours, and you can ask for seconds if something really tickles your taste buds. Some were not to my personal preference, but none were bad, and they generally did match the dish. Now, the bad news, this is a $200-300pp experience. Try to come with someone else's money if you can. (I did not. Sigh.) But it does deliver quite well for the price point. read more

My wife and I went to Asta for dinner. They had a very good vegan and vegetarian selection and we got the tasting menu. Portions were very small and we left hungry. I had to eat again right after leaving. Food taste was interesting but not fantastic, especially given the prices.

The best dining experience we've had in the Boston area. Intimate atmosphere with incredibly knowledgeable, and friendly staff. The food was unique and creative.

Had an absolutely amazing time at Asta. We were invited to the chefs table/bar. From there we got to see the chefs prepare the dishes for us. The waitresses helped us pair some wine with our dishes. Each dish was more different than the other and each dish was amazing! Would definitely go back again! read more

I can't say that I would recommend asta. We didn't get served food until 90 minutes into our meal and then what came was a small cup of kombucha. Which after 90 minutes was just not suffice. No bread or anything in the meantime so if you come hungry then you're absolutely starving. I think after that was 2 asparagus and some sauce. I couldn't tell you what came after but I left hungry and poor. There was no communication about the wait and there was no compensation. You have many other options in Boston. read more

We came back to Asta a couple of months ago. While we enjoy a quieter environment, I was really surprised to see only 2 dinner parties including ourselves there on a Friday night. As usual, you get served some free champagne right away and the menu consists of 5 course and a 8 course options. The boys chose the 8 course and the gals 5 course. I won't go in to details about every dish here but our impression was that the menu this night was overwhelmingly vegetarian-heavy. The guys honestly barely had any protein in their dishes so both of them dug into our meat dish. And the portion of the 8 course dinner was much smaller and the overall amount of food probably even less than the 5 course, though it costs more. These 2 factor combined together unfortunately made the guys still hungry at the end of the dinner. In addition, while we understand the amount of work and attention that goes into each dish, paying this much money for a largely vegetarian meal (when we didn't intend it to be this way) felt a bit overpriced. So I will just say that my 2nd time at Asta was not nearly as good as the first one. Had this been the only time I've eaten at Asta, the rating would be significantly lower. However I loved my first meal at Asta and know that they have the potential to be so much better, thus I'm only dropping 1 star. read more

Three star and a half. I really expect more from a restaurant at such a high price(even higher than some Michelin restaurants). The taste of food is way too fair compare to Michelin restaurants's dishes. Comparing to restaurants which are at the same price level, I leave this place a 3* and I really want see this place make progress. New American dishes are hard to create and I can tell this restaurant is trying to make New American style dishes which basically should be delicate and creative. I am attracted by the environment in the first place. Delicate seats, half-open styled kitchen make me feel comfortable. More importantly, they keep the restaurant extremely clean. They don't have a menu. Only choices of 5 courses and 8 courses are provided. In order to try as many dishes as possible, I chose the 8 one. Fermented beets is the pre-meal appetizer. I am not a beet fan, but this one tastes sweet and nice. The salad comes next, the salt seems not to be dissolved firmly. Some parts taste extremely salty, some parts are bland. The ice cream at the bottom is creative. Salad is always a challenging course. This dish is not really palatable. Squid with green beans is much better. The spice and ingredients in this dish really provide a rich flavor. Love this one. Zucchini noodles as the next dish is very creative. Using zucchini itself as the noodles provides a vegetable flavor noodles. Although adding with heavy spices, this dish tastes refreshing. Foie gras is poached. They use a thick layer of pepper and other ingredients to clean up the taste of organs. Jerk chicken as one of the main courses also comes with a heavy layer of mysterious sauce which is too salty. However, the crispy bread and butter which has a slight coconut taste come with it are delicious. Veal with green tomatoes is my favorite one so far. The veal itself is very soft. You don't even need a knife for it. It is a pity that this dish is too salty as well. They serve tofu with brown sugar as a dessert. Not bad! Simple, buInnovative and scrumptious! The last dessert is a bomb! It is a warm pear with hazelnut crunches and chocolate on the surface. This dish is warm and delicious. It is very suitable to consume on a cold winter day! read more

A must try tasting menu in Boston MA ! Very good service, relaxed atmosphere and delicious Tasting menu! Very surprised !You must try it when you come to Boston. The seasoning and food are quite layered, the ingredients are fresh and creative, and the soft shell crab is fried better than most Japanese restaurant dishes, which is not easy. Simple Matsutake with asparagus and simple seasoning can get the freshness and fragrance of Matsutake itself. Roasted quail with dried plums and sweet and sour pickled apricots is a great match , sautéed Foie Gras with crispy meringue frosting on top, Grapefruit-based sauce and fresh Grapefruit on the bottom. It didn't feel greasy because of the pairings, and has a good taste and layering. There are crispy salty biscuits and some pickled vegetables under the grilled cheese. It is not greasy and very special. The freshly made desserts are also very good! read more

I try very hard to visit the top trending or reviewed restaurants within the Boston area; obviously recently Asta made those ranks and it meant I had to visit. We were fortunate enough to grab a reservation last minute for 4 on a Saturday night at 9PM -- though unfortunately this meant we had to stand and wait aimlessly for the party (that had already paid and decided to sit and waste time) to get up and leave before we could be seated. Fortunately, they were kind enough to provide some prosecco's on the house, though I just wish they kindly asked the table of older folks to leave after so much time had already passed. This clearly wasn't the best start to the night, by the time we sat and were given menus and water (very rushed no less) it was 10 and we knew we'd be here a lot later than we would like. We naturally tried the 8 and 10 course tastings offered to us and honestly have to say most dishes was rather odd and disappointing. Though we had a few memorable textures and unique flavors, for the most part it wasn't awe inspiring or worthy of it's grand price tag. The paired wines were wonderful, however, you can't complain much about alcohol when you're already starving. One dish worth mentioning that was incredibly horrible though was the pigeon. This in itself is a rather extreme thing to try for the first time, we were adventurous and attempted to take a bite and was hit with the most vile collection of tastes and textures we could've imagined. One of our party members actually gagged. It wasn't great. We completed our menus, thanked the really well informed server and staff (who were starting to clean up since we were literally the last people left there) and went about our night. We did have more food elsewhere after. Overall, overpriced, over-hyped, not sure what I paid for in terms of experience honestly. I truly hoped and expected more from being so high on Boston's best eateries. read more
