    My wife and I absolutely love Cactus Club! It's a franchise that's originally from Canada, but this is their first American branch. This restaurant is huge! They have two bars, a large indoor dining area, an enclosed patio, and an outdoor seating area. The menu is American with seafood and steaks plus Asian fusion with items like poke bowls and sushi. It's the best deal to come here during happy hour for their food specials! It's Monday to Friday 3 to 6pm or Sunday to Thursday 9pm to closing. I personally think their appetizers are better than their mains. I would highly recommend the sushi set (12 pieces), short ribs (very tender and juicy and comes with 5 pieces), Szechuan Lettuce wraps (big portion with sweet crunchy chicken), Brioche with Truffle Butter (soft and the butter is to die for) and the Butternut Squash Ravioli (soft and very flavorful). The service here is awesome, they're quick, friendly, and checked on us often. This is one the few places were the server actually made small talk with us. I can't recommend this place enough!

    Salmon aburi
    Jacklynn K.

    I had a perfect girls dinner on Saturday at Cactus Club Cafe. Reservations are highly recommended. The interior is boujie and gorgeous. A perfect place for date night!! I appreciated the Basquiat artwork. Our server was great. We had the crab and spinach dip and salmon aburi to start both were fantastic! The dip was cheesy and warm and the salmon aburi was perfection. The salmon was smoky and I will be thinking about it for a long time. I had the steak frites with truffle fries and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think $40 is a very fair price for that quality and amount of food. My friend did the steak and lobster and loved that as well. For drinks we started with Hand of God and Tropic Like its Hot, which were good. We the had the peach bellinis which were fire! We did the chocolate cake for dessert and that was delicious. We will be back the next time we are in Boston'

    Chili citrus calamari

    Stumbled on this establishment and indulged in their happy hour menu. Wow! Definitely the best things I ate in Boston over that week were at this restaurant. I love that we can still find beautiful places with a great happy hour food menu. I tried many things and there is nothing I wouldn't eat again. The avocado dip, calamari, ribs, hot chicken were all great! Loved the ambiance! It was modern and exciting! You can tell it's very popular by the droves of people waiting to be seated. The service was great, we weren't waiting long for staff. I'm so glad I ended my first trip to Boston with this highlight. PS: this review is strictly during my Happy Hour Experience

    Warm Pull Apart Brioche
    Rajandeep D.

    Every bone in my body was saying this place is going to be overrated BUT happy to report back it wasn't. The hype is real and the food is amazing! We tried their iconic pull apart bread which was so soft so butter and really well seasoned. For drinks, we had sugar free margs (was good but not the greatest) and Peach Bellinis. Peach Bellini was my fav and sooo every time I go back you best believe I will be sipping on that. For the entree, I had the Butternut Squash Ravioli (w/o the Shrimp). I don't know what they put in that sauce but I can see myself drinking a tub of that sauce. SO GOOD. The dish was lowk expensive for a chain restaurant but whatever it was worth it. Oh and the vibe? 10/10 and the service was amazing.

    Avocado dip
    Kiara V.

    High expectations coming in that weren't met because WHAT were those entrees we ordered?! Wow. What a let down on those!! We ordered apps, entrees, and ofc the peach Bellinis (how could you not!). The apps were delicious- with the exception of the avocado dip- don't recommend. We got the sticky ribs, crab dip, bread, truffle fries, and more sticky ribs. No complaints! The drinks were also very good! For entrees we got three orders of the steak frites. They weren't cut up, one. Two, we couldn't even cut them ourselves because they were SO tough. Mind you, we ordered medium well and medium for one. None of us could even bite into them. So bad, we had to send them back. We ordered more apps. How do you have amazing apps and trash entrees?? Something isn't clicking back in that kitchen. Very disappointing especially because it was my birthday dinner and we all woke up stuck to the toilet with the runs the next morning. Yeah TMI but something must've been overlooked in that kitchen last night. However, I will say... our waiter Gabriel was AMAZING! Soo kind, personable, and attentive. Gabe, needs a raise!

    10sss across the board!! This food was soo good and flavorful. It was first time here and I wish I had one closer to my home, but I definitely recommend. My server was amazing she was very sweet and attentive. My first time having a lettuce wrap and I need this all the time now. The vibes and scenery was very beautiful and open two bars one inside and outside very big dining room. 10/10

    Peach Bellini, sunset soda, blood n blanco, old fashioned

    Frozen. Cocktails. ‼ you can't go wrong with any drink or food from the menu. Garlic buns are so yummy, and ambiance inside is very chic. Can be hard to get a reservation on the weekend but worth setting up last minute notifications for cancellations!!

    Chili citrus calamari
    Lizzie Y.

    Cactus Club Cafe reminds me so much of Earl's! Similar vibes, aesthetic, & unfortunately also pretty mid food. The interior is beautiful! They have a lot of seating, both indoor & outdoor. We went for lunch and wanted to try their happy hour menu, however, it starts @3pm. We arrived @2pm & didn't have much time to stay for it. As we flipped through the menu though, we noticed there wasn't much of a price difference between the happy hour prices of the dishes vs. regular prices. Only noticeable difference was for their chili citrus calamari ($8 difference). We ordered these dishes to try: - bacon cheddar burger (x2) - truffle fries - chili citrus calamari - sushi set The food took a LONG time... way longer than expected. Chili citrus calamari arrived to the table first. It tasted okay. Wished it was crispier and the sauce it came with tasted flat. Not impressed by this dish. I enjoyed the sushi set but don't think it's worth the price. I've never had sushi made this way! Fish tasted fresh. Still, didn't "wow" me though. We got two bacon cheddar burgers, one with a side of truffle fries. The fries were yummy! Perfect crispiness and had good flavor. Burgers were cooked how we requested, so no complaints for the burgers. The service was meh. Most of our dining experience was spent looking for our server, rather than getting to enjoy the food. Asking for the check took forever too somehow because she was nowhere to be found for a bit. Overall, I see the Cactus Club Cafe as more of just an aesthetically pleasing restaurant for cute pictures & strictly for the vibes. If you're looking for delicious food, I wouldn't recommend coming here. To me, it's very reminiscent of Earl's-- gorgeous interior + nice ambience but super lackluster & overpriced food.

    Peach Bellinis
    Brianna R.

    We went for the Peach Bellinis (because of Drake) and they did not disappoint. Perfect summer drink. The waitress was friendly and very attentive. Food was tasty and the restaurant was beautiful.

    pull apart bread
    Hallie L.

    Amazing ambiance, server was so sweet, and food came out pretty quickly. They have the best peach bellini I've ever had in my life. All the shareables we got were good, but most felt a little overpriced for the quality of the food. The pull apart bread is super popular and I can see why, but 10 dollars for it is kind of crazy. Overall though, still a really nice place to get food, just be prepared to spend.

    dining room

    This experience did not live up to my expectations and in fact was quite disappointing. I'd rate the food and service "5" and the rest of the experience "1", hence my rating of 3-stars. My two BFFs and I were eager to try this new-to-us spot and were surprised to find a 6-week wait for a Saturday night reservation, but, okay. Given that, our expectations were high. Perhaps we are not the target demographic for the CC. We noted with surprise in their communications about the reservation, and on the website, an emphasis on a particular dress code. In their words: Dress Code Policy To complement the tone of our space, we kindly ask guests to dress in stylish, smart casual attire. We celebrate personal style that aligns with a refined atmosphere. Admission is at the discretion of our management, with the goal of ensuring an exceptional experience for everyone. We had a few conversations about this before we arrived, and took it seriously, so imagine our surprise to find, waiting in line and seated in the restaurant, people in blue jean shorts and sneakers, well worn blue jeans (not the stylish ones), backward baseball caps, etc. Not refined. It wouldn't have bothered us except for the emphasis made which was clearly for show and not enforced. Seemed a bit pretentious. The ambience is as described in other reviews: lively, energetic, trendy, etc. The design is lovely. There are two sections, a dining room and an enclosed patio. We waited to be seated and were led to the patio, the focal point of which is a bar. We were surprised not to be seated in the dining area, having made our reservations 6 weeks before, but didn't ask for a different table as the place was quite busy, the banquette to which we were shown looked comfy, and we didn't want to wait further. We later looked at the email reservation and noted that as was requested, "dining room" was specified. Had we realized that at the time we would have asked to be re-seated. The banquette was along the window, and each table had a shawl/blanket draped over a chair, which was a nice touch, as window seating can sometimes get chilly. However, the space between us (the banquette could easily have seated 5) plus the noise made it difficult to hear each other. We walked through the dining room on the way out and that space was only a tad less noisy. Our server, Nicole S., was pleasant, attentive, and efficient, answering our questions and making sure we got our drinks and meals quickly and as ordered. I had a glass of sauvignon blanc and the rigatoni bolognese with the fennel topping on the side; the bolognese was delicious and the pasta al dente. One companion had the spaghetti portofino, which looked amazing and she declared was very good. My other companion had the truffle parmesan chicken with grilled mushrooms and gnocchi in a sauce served on the side as she requested. She said this was quite good as well, so no complaints about the food. Unfortunately, with so many good places to eat in the city, given the above experience it is unlikely that we will return to the Cactus Club.

    Fries and avocado dip and Bellini
    Mar G.

    Stopped in here late on a Sunday night, and we were delighted to learn about the happy hour menu. The Smashburger is truly such a steal, but everything else is about like three dollars off. I got the Bellini, which was delicious; however, as someone who doesn't really like sweet drinks, I really benefited from cutting it with some soda water. Really good martini, but not sure it was worth $21 (wish I had known this before hand). We got the smash burger, fries, and the avocado dip - all of which were really delicious. Definitely recommend the smash burger (it isn't super huge). The avocado dip was like a guacamole and the perfect size. The mousse cup desert left a lot to be desired. It's very small. Most importantly, the mousse looked and tastes like it had fallen, so it was kind of like a sad pudding. Super disappointing and wish I hadn't ordered. Ambiance is super vibey, but the service was not super great. Had to ask several time for things like water and waited a long time for it to actually be brought to table

    The Bellini
    Gabrielle K.

    Cactus Club Cafe is definitely a statement restaurant. They have such an elevated vibe with decor and design that feels very hand picked in every way. The ceiling had these metal bars with these spheres similar to an abacus and everything just looks so organic and cool.I could literally go on and on about how nice it was inside. In addition, their music selection was great. I heard Purple disco machine (edm/disco) at the perfect level to not affect conversations. Usually for places like this its beautiful vibes, food is bad and staff are meh but I've got to be honest all parts of the experience were great for me. Our server was such a sweetheart and we had some nice chit chat whenever she came over to check in on us. I never felt like I was ever waiting for anything. Now to the important stuff: the drinks and food. If you looked around the restaurant you could probably spot 5-15 of the Bellini (their fan favorite frozen cocktail). I mean I could see why it is sweet AF and just tastes like your drinking juice ...so delicious. The sushi set was fun and the salmon aburi was so delicious, I haven't had salmon on sushi like that a lot and it being torched really adds another depth of flavor. Truffle fries were perfect, the quality of potato was at another level from the first bite. Brioche was DELICIOUS but the truffle butter really elevated the flavor to me. Literally not a single thing I can complain about. Then, we finished off with a HUGE piece of chocolate cake, the type kids dream about. Me and my friend barely managed to finish most of it, it felt like those cheesecake factory slices but somehow more dense. The thing is the price points are definitely high here so expect to spend at least $60-100 if you get a drink or two. This is a great place for a date or celebrating a birthday. They do have a happy hour and late night menu where some menu items are a few dollars off but yeah still pricey. However, I am very happy with my experience and looking forward to coming back again! the bellini blood n' blanco sushi set Warm pull apart brioche truffle fries Six layer chocolate slice $$$ Food 9 Atmosphere 10 Service 9

My guess is that this is more of an evening destination where people come for cocktails and the atmosphere rather than lunch. We ordered a Diet Coke, the Scampi appetizer, Carbonara, and the Rigatoni Alla Vodka. The scampi was easily the best part of the meal. It was flavorful, cooked well, and made for a nice appetizer to start things off. Unfortunately, the pastas didn't quite meet expectations, especially considering the price. The Rigatoni Alla Vodka was $28, but the pasta wasn't cooked al dente and felt overdone. The Carbonara, also $28, was disappointing as the eggs had curdled and the dish ended up being much oilier than I expected. At $18, the scampi was enjoyable, but overall I don't think the food justified the price point. One bright spot was the service. Our waitress was incredibly kind, checked in on us frequently, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a very aesthetic design. I can definitely see why it's popular on social media. There is also outdoor seating, which I imagine would be a nice option on a warm summer evening. One thing I did notice, though, is how closely the tables are spaced together. Since the restaurant was mostly empty during our visit it wasn't an issue, but I could see it feeling crowded and fairly loud once the dining room fills up. I was honestly surprised by the meal because Gigi is part of the Mazi Restaurant Group, and I've really enjoyed some of their other concepts, especially Kava Neo-Taverna. Based on this experience, though, I think there are plenty of Italian restaurants in Boston that offer better food and better value for the same price. Overall, I'd give Gigi 3/5 stars. The service and atmosphere were both strong, but the food didn't live up to the pricing. If I came back, it would probably be for drinks, appetizers, and the ambiance rather than a full Italian dinner.

Since it was summertime, we were able to sit outside in the courtyard out back. I had been to SRV before and had no idea this space was even there. It was tucked away, relaxed, and a great setting for dinner. I was pleased with just about everything that came to the table. There was one dish that simply wasn't doing it for us, but we didn't complain or ask for anything different. Then something happened that really stood out. The chef came out herself and mentioned that she noticed we barely touched that particular dish. She asked if she could send us something else instead. Sure enough, she did. That immediately took the service to another level. We never had to say a word. She noticed, cared enough to ask, and made sure we left happy. Looking back on this July 2020 visit, the food was creative, the courtyard was a nice surprise, but that level of attention from the chef is what I remember most. It turned a great dinner into a memorable one.

    Was excited to try SRV for the first time! The food was good, the servers were attentive, and the…read morerestaurant is beautiful inside. The one major issue we had was the timing with food. It was insanely slow. The starters were a little slow to come out, but nothing unusual. The entree, however, took probably close to 40 minutes to come out. We had so much time in between courses, by the time we go our food I was ready to leave. I also want to note that this was a Monday, they had a decent dinner rush, but it wasn't slammed. I have never experienced such slow timing with food before. I also work in the service industry, so it's a bummer to have to leave this review, but I was in genuine disbelief at how long it took. I understand things happen and maybe this was just a one-off thing, I hope it was! I wanted to get coffee and dessert but was so over it by the time we got our dinner, I didn't want to risk how much longer it would take. Unfortunately, because of how slow the service was and how long we were left there waiting, it made the dinner experience unenjoyable. Totally was not our servers fault! She and the whole staff were great, and everyone was so kind and friendly. Hoping to give this place another try one day. Definitely want to try their dessert if I decide to give them another chance.

    Coppa is such a cute restaurant located on the corner of a tucked away street in the South End. I…read moreappreciate the quietness and NYC vibe to it. The inside is pretty small so make sure you get a reservation ahead of time. In the warmer months you can sit outside but we sat at the bar since it was too cold outside and the regular seating was all booked up. The bar seating is tight so beware if you have a big jacket or bag with you! We ordered the celery Cesar, cavatelli, and margarita pizza. The celery Cesar was interesting. It's literally thin pieces of celery tossed in Cesar dressing. It immediately reminded me of the small side you get when you order buffalo wings -- not exactly in a good way. The cavatelli was delicious and perfect to split. My friend and I split the salad, pasta and pizza which was great. The portions were just right and this meant for an inexpensive dinner for each of us which you love to hear. The margherita pizza was good but nothing that'll blow you away. The slices are tinyyyy though. My friend took home the pizza leftovers (2 slices) but we almost left them on the plate because that's how small they were. All in all it was a cute spot and I'd be interested in trying other menu items!
