    Wagyu
    Annika T.

    An unforgettable night at Dalia. While we were seated about 20 minutes past our reservation, the manager came over to apologize and give a complementary glass of wine (to celebrate a graduation). The acoustics and lighting of the room set a great scene for dinner, without being too loud but also fun and lively. We loved the wagyu with chimichurri, the hamachi, the pulpo, the mushrooms and egg yolk, and the croquetas de jamón. We'll definitely be coming back here!

    We sat at the bar and the bartender was very helpful with recommendations for both drinks and food. Every single dish I ate was fantastic. The restaurant is super cute inside and overall very good vibes.

    Went to Dalia with a couple friends and had a really great experience. We made a reservation, showed up on time, and were seated right away. The space itself is absolutely gorgeous and way bigger than it looks from the outside. There are two bars, tons of seating, and an open kitchen in the middle of the restaurant. There were three of us, and we ordered the Tortilla Española, Patatas Bravas, Croquetas de Pollo, Pan Frito, Bikini, and Hamburguesitas to share. Everything was really good, and we got the Basque cheesecake for dessert. My friend loved the Sangria Blanca, another got the Apasionada Margarita, and I had a Mexican Coke. The portions are pretty small, even for a tapas restaurant. A few dishes - like the croquetas, bikini and hamburguesitas- only come with two pieces, so if you're with three or more people you'll probably want to order a few.

    The decor and vibes are amazing here! Service was pretty good too. All the food looked so good so i kept ordering. You can't go wrong but the dessert with the ice cream was a game changer!

    Dalia is a new spot that serves tapas style plates. While pricey, the restaurant offers a solid variety of dishes. Some of our favorites included the hamburguesitas, paella, and all of the desserts. The branzino was beautifully presented but sadly a bit overcooked. Serves were extremely kind and even brought out a candle with our dessert since we were celebrating a birthday. Inside of the restaurant is beautiful though a bit loud and difficult to have a conversation in. Overall, a nice spot for a special occasion!

    Service: 10/10. Tori was an amazing server and made the experience Food: 7/10. It's a unique menu for Boston. It may be too "niche". For someone that lives in NYC, I personally loved it, but I saw everyone around us ordering the same thing. Drinks: 8.5/10. the drinks were good, the wine was good. They have a sommelier which, I did appreciate, and he was very knowledgeable about the wines. Ambiance: 10/10. They took antiques from all over Boston and the surrounding area to furnish this place. I LOVED that vibe and had seen the girl on TikTok decorating this place. Definitely a good idea by the Broadway Restaurant Group.

    Major yum alert!! This place is not only gorgeous but has delicious food to boot. I had been seeing social media posts about this place for at least a couple months and so glad I finally checked it out. I loved the pan frito and especially the churro...so unique and the perfect balance of umami flavor and crunchy fluffy texture. Service was lovely as well, super attentive and helpful with great suggestions. We sat by the kitchen which got a little hot, especially in the heat wave we've been in, but it was fun to see how everything is made, especially watching them shave the jamón. Highly recommend, just make a res very far in advance!

    Patatas Bravas
    Chris T.

    Firstly Thank you to our server Jacqline? (Sp) she was handling the bar. Top Tier customer service, personable, and a gem! protect her at all costs, she's good for the business! This place was popping and we understand why! I typically dislike tapas but this has changed my mind. Quality, flavorful and didn't feel like i got ripped off after haha. - Hamburguesitas Wagyu sliders, juicy (typically sliders at other spots are dry). Flavorful, buttery, and not too much bun. - Croquetas de Pollo - more marinated or seasoned protein ratio would be nice, felt i tasted mostly just cheese. - Patatas Bravas MUST order. Layered crispy potatoe blocks with aioli, spiced red sauce. Just order it... in fact order at least TWO! - Churro (crab meat & caviar) - thank you for this it was a surprise gift because our paella was taking much longer than expected. Warm churro bites with crab meat and caviar. Salty, creamy, GOOD. (Two pieces) - Pluma Iberico pork well cooked, chopped cutlet, i wasn't too big of a fan of the pairing for the garnish and side tho. - Hamachi crudo - fresh hamachi, nice bite of the fish. The yuzu citrus didn't shine for us, i love ginger but that's all i tasted. - Valencia Paella (half size) even at half size i thought the rice portion was very shallow. Flavorful, extremely well seasoned, ample bits of seafood and chicken! -Tarta Tatin- warm banana, rum caramel, vanilla bean gelato. OOooOooOoo this was a HIT! Most people i think order the basque cheesecake but im telling you try this one. Yummm Great spot for group dinner, date night, or like us a post workout meal. I everyone was dressed nice but we showed up in workout gear and it wasn't an issue. Definitely coming back!

    Pan frito
    Eva A.

    Went for a birthday dinner, overall the place lived up to the hype. The biggest appeal was the ambiance - the interior decor is breathtaking. Everyone was taking photos. The food is a bit pricey for the portions, but then again very in line with tapas spots around Boston. We had the bravas, pulpo, prawns, snap peas, pan frito, and the veggie and chicken paellas. Everything was delicious, get the paellas and pan frito! My one complaint is that everything we ordered came 5-10 minutes apart, so we couldn't enjoy everything together. (For example, I would have loved to soak up the octopus marinade with bread, but we didn't have any). I would also advise staff to come around with water a bit more often. With Dalia being a new spot, it still has some service practices to smooth out, but that's natural. Also, managers come around with freebies from the kitchen- such a nice touch. Would recommend, of course!

    Hamachi
    Katherine R.

    Absolutely blown away! Worth every bit of the hype. My husband and I finally got a reservation here and we were completely blown away by how amazing this restaurant is. From the stunning design and thoughtful interior details to the special little features scattered around the space, the whole vibe felt elevated and special the moment we walked in. The food was spectacular across the board. We tried a variety of dishes and every single one was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was equally outstanding: attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being over-the-top. We tried a variety of dishes: Spicy tuna - amazing (VERY spicy) Tuna - amazing Hamachi - amazing Mussels - great Scallops - good Churro - great Papas bravas - fine Croquette - amazing Gateau basque dessert - amazing!! We were lucky enough to sit right at the bar overlooking the kitchen, and it was such a cool experience watching the team cook all night. It added such an energetic, behind-the-scenes feel that made the evening even more memorable. This place is a hot ticket and reservations are notoriously hard to get, but it is 100% worth it. We will definitely be back the next time we can snag a table. If you're on the fence, just go. Highly recommend!

    Fui a Dalia en Boston y honestly... este lugar es toda una experiencia. Desde que entras, se siente súper diferente a cualquier restaurante en Boston. La decoración está on another level, luces bajitas, el diseño como europeo, todo demasiado aesthetic. Es de esos sitios que tú dices "ok, aquí vine a vivir el momento", no solo a comer. La comida es estilo español pero elevated. Pedimos varias tapas para compartir y todo se sentía bien pensado, nada básico. Hay platos súper creativos, algunos hasta raros but in a good way. Eso sí, no es comida para llenarte full, es más para probar y disfrutar. El servicio fue bueno, pero lo que más se roba el show es el vibe completo del lugar. Ahora, seamos realistas... es caro. Este no es un spot para cualquier día, es más como para una ocasión especial, date night o cumpleaños. Pero overall, I get the hype. Es uno de esos restaurantes que tienes que visitar aunque sea una vez en Boston.

    Pink sangria
    Jacob C.

    Absolutely beautiful restaurant with multiple bar spaces and table areas. Cocktails were excellent, especially the sangrias, and with an extensive wine list, as well. Our sever was excellent and very attentive. The menu was a little overwhelming, but with some well-executed tapas classics. The patatas bravas and paella were standouts. The menu was very pork-heavy - not shocking given the cuisine, but fairly limiting for those who don't eat pork for religious or other reasons.

    Churro & patatas bravas
    Michelle S.

    Honestly I was hesitant after seeing some "meh" reviews on Instagram but I'm glad I tried it for myself! We had a great experience. I didn't order off the cocktail menu but the drinks were good. I appreciate my waitress mentioned the $1 per for the blue cheese stuffed olives for dirty martinis. They're fresh stuffed not jarred which I appreciated. For tapas we ordered the patatas bravas, crab churro, pollo coquettes, jamon croquettes, and the bikini. No complaints on any of these items - I loved the uniqueness and crispiness to the patatas bravas. For the bikini I think we were both like I could eat a full sized sandwich of this. The crab & caviar churros were a fun unique bite! And I appreciated that everything that had truffle (croquettes and bikini) very clearly had fresh grated truffle. For mains we ordered the Iberico paella and the wagyu flat iron steak. The paella was HOT coming out but had great flavor. This version did have a number of "salty meats" so if that's not your vibe go for another one but the snap peas were a nice veggie addition. The wagyu flat iron steak was not only beautifully cooked but it was so tender and the sauce had amazing flavor. My only negative would be the mashed on that dish was either over salted, or too garlicky for me but honestly we were so full by then I only took a small taste. Lastly a basque cheesecake for dessert was a nice end to the meal. Our server was very knowledgeable and pretty passionate about the food which I appreciated.

Every dish exploded with unique, fresh flavors. Definitely try the fried chicken. Epic. Another big hit was the scallion pancakes with caviar, topped with a perfectly fried egg. The combination worked shockingly well with the pancakes and caviar. The only dish I'd recommend skipping is the Spicy Szechuan Dandan Noodles. Not bad, just a very heavy anise and dill flavor that overpowered the entire dish. That being said, the service was amazing. Our server, Robin P., took that dish off the bill, which was incredibly thoughtful. I can't say enough good things about this place. Go try it. Get blown away. Thank me later.

    Nothing but greatness from Nautilus Boston!…read more First time here at this excellent and beautiful restaurant in Seaport on the waterfront. Our server Jonathan was excellent. It was quite busy due to the tall ships on a beautiful and sunny Saturday afternoon, but I was happy to have made reservations a week prior. This restaurant is known for an eclectic Asian seafood cuisine, but they also have a few meat options such as a duck breast which was recommended for larger parties to share. Since it was just the two of us, we did have some cocktails which I thought were OK not great. What we did enjoy were the Japanese fried chicken, I highly recommend this and it was perfect for two people to share. The pan roasted dayboat scallops were also delicious but a little bit on the salty side, and the roasted beet salad was also good, but lacked some savory notes. Due to the unexpected wait, they actually comped our dessert which was very nice of them. Overall, I did enjoy this restaurant and really liked the view of the tall ships. I think if we decided to come again, we would probably come back on either a weeknight or maybe in the fall/winter. It can be pretty expensive as well but I do feel this restaurant is of quality.

I had been craving fish tacos for a really long time, and I was delighted to find a whole section of the menu dedicated to them. We started off with margaritas - one of the best companions to fish tacos - and I ordered mine spicy with jalapeño. For food, we shared the lobster empanadas and chorizo and potato taquitos. I ordered the tempura fish tacos for myself. Our margaritas were brought out shortly - mine was refreshing but lacked the kick from the jalapeño that I was hoping for (there was only one thin slice of pepper). Our food was brought out shortly, and I found it a bit overwhelming when our appetizers and tacos came out together. I started with my tacos, and these were excellent. The fish was flaky and fried to perfection, and I loved the rainbow of sauces and toppings. Plus, the tortillas were nice and sturdy and didn't tear. The lobster empanadas were super decadent, and I appreciated the substantial amount of lobster stuffed inside. I was too full to eat much of the taquitos but took a few bites. These also had good flavor but weren't standouts. Next time, I'd just get the tacos and maybe a light app. Towards the end of our visit, the restaurant seemed to clear out, and we had a difficult time trying to locate our server for the bill. Overall, we had a nice meal and satisfied the fish taco craving.

We also spent an hour at the King Tut exhibit across the street! This restaurant/bar always seems packed. And, with reservations for 645pm (highly recommend) the bar was quite busy. The buzz from this high-end cocktail bar is exactly what you want on a Friday evening; From girlfriends sipping their wine to couples laughing and swirling their cocktails, Moon Bar is for the classy and sexy. Abby our server is excellent! A mixologist who knows all the cocktails and can recommend based on your preference. I tried one of their new cocktails with bourbon and did not care for it. Abby made me my mezcal drink that I have ordered before...its the 305 cowboy, an extremely popular drink. A must try for sure! Note: Some bartenders make you feel guilty for saying something about a drink you ordered and did not like. But, here at Moon Bar, Abby was so gracious to make me something that I will enjoy. Hats off to her:) Food: Since it was restaurant week we just shared everything. For starters we ordered the Tuna Tartare that was excellent. Then, we had Piri-Piri Chicken Thighs that were also good but quite spicy. For dessert, we shared the Caribbean Tiramisu, which was great. It was a tough choice between this and the Guava Cheesecake. We were so full that we ended up bringing home leftovers. Oh, I also forgot to mention we always order their Curry Fries - a must try when coming here Trust Me.

Total came out to approximately over $40. What's Hot - Menu. Simple and straightforward. It's not a large menu and easy to figure out. - Quality. Pretty delicious, with the exception of the greco fries, which I explain below. For my build-your-own salad, I ordered spicy whipped feta as a topping, which was probably the best part of my salad. The spice doesn't hit you right away, but it's definitely spicy, which my husband and I liked, especially because we have a pretty high tolerance. My husband liked his hot honey chicken wrap. The hot honey was spicy, as well, which is a good thing, because every place is different. The loukoumades was pretty good. No skimping on the toppings. - Location. Fairly easy to find and right by the harbor. As such, it's conveniently located to other attractions, shops, and restaurants. - Price. Fairly good value for money. That we were able to order 4 dishes for approximately $40 is pretty good value. - Service. They use paper containers for the food when dining in, which I like, because it may be more environmentally friendly. There are 2 kiosks where you can order, which is pretty straight forward. What's Not - Service. My issue is about a specific incident that happened while we were there. The staffers were putting our order together at the pickup counter. As such, some items were on trays on the counter, while other items were being put together. There was another customer there, who had his large dog with him. He allowed his dog to put his head and paws on the pick up counter, where our order was being put together. None of the staffers said anything. As such, my husband instructed the other customer to take his dog off the food counter. This other customer's dog did not appear to be a service animal. The other customer responded to my husband that no one else had a problem. The main concern is sanitation. A dog is putting its head and dirty paws on the counter where food is being served. Had the dog put its head and/or dirty paws on our food, or licked our food, or made a mess, or whatever, that would have been a concern. That none of their staff said anything was not a good thing, because it directly affects food sanitation. - Quality. The greco fries are nothing to write home about. Not flavorful and did not stand out. They also skimped on the feta cheese that topped our fries. Would not order again and would not recommend. Also, a couple of the olives in my salad still had the pits in them, which I didn't like. Just something to be aware of. For the loukoumades, all the flavor came from the topping. The fried doughnut holes didn't have any flavor and we're uncertain whether that's intentional. - Portions. The portions tend to be on the smaller side. This is not a place where one dish will fill you up. Final Answer Willing to return, but not a first choice.

Today we went to this location in Seaport, but they also have 4 other locations in MA & 2 locations in Washington DC (one on the way!). GRECO first started in Back Bay, on Newbury St then expanded over the years & actually the owner is behind two other great Greek establishments I've heard lovely things about, Krasi in Back Bay & Bar Vlaha in Brookline! We ordered the chicken gyro & the pork gyro to try, as well as one Bikos Cola & one Vikos Cola (essentially Diet Coke). I really liked the Greek colas, very good flavor & carbonation. As for the gyros, the chicken gyro came w/ honey mustard sauce instead of tzatziki, which was in the pork one. After trying both, I'd say I prefer the chicken one more. The pork was definitely a bit dry also. In terms of size of the gyros compared to other Greek establishments I've tried in Boston, they seemed to be smaller in portion because typically I have a hard time finishing gyros fully in one sitting but I finished this one w/ ease. Overall, I can see this being a good lunch option if you're nearby & I can see myself coming back to try their donuts!! Parking: it's much easier to get street parking in Seaport during morning & lunch hours compared to later on in the day.

    Went here on a Sunday during the tall ship event. What a beautiful view of the ocean!!!…read more Ambience was great and cozy, decor was on point and has a really nice uniqueness to it which was really nice. The sushi rolls here are on point! I came here with no high expectations on sushi and it was over the top! Every bite was a burst of freshness and flavor! It was truly worth the price. On the other hand, we did sushi nachos, chicken lettuce wrap, and Rangoon. These apps were extremely mediocre for the price. The cocktails here are wonderful and are worth the $20 My reason for 4/5 stars were for the mediocre apps that I didn't think were worth the price. And the service, we didn't receive bad service but I truly believe that when dining at places like this I like to think I'm paying the high cost for the ocean view and the good service. Our server really lacked personality, never asked us how our drinks or food was but only come to the table when we needed to order something. Idk if this is because we had younger kids at our table but there's many other places in Boston that my family truly enjoy service from. I will come back for drinks and sushi at the bar!! Again props to the sushi guys! Phenomenal sushi rolls!!!

    I had an overwhelmingly disappointing experience at this restaurant last night. I'll preface this…read morereview by saying that I've worked in the industry for 16 years and I understand sometimes people have not so great days. The Tall ships are in town so the restaurant is probably busy. While this presents new challenges, it also gives most of the employees an opportunity to make more money so I'm not putting a lot of stock into that being the reason why the service was so poor. I asked my server what they thought about these two dishes and they didn't immediately say I shouldn't get the tuna burger, which I find fascinating given how absolutely terrible the dish it is. As you can see from my photo it is literally an entire tray of french fries and then a tiny little Tuna burger which was fine ish? Pretty dry but I was just astonished at how many fries we got. And they were like a bad version of McDonald's fries. It was hot and humid outside, and I was begging for water. Every single time the server came over I had to ask for water, despite having an empty glass that I strategically put at the end of the table. We had a service animal with us and we did ask for water for her which she forgot , but honestly that didn't bother me much because we should have brought her our own water. There were no server assistants, or managers , or busses to fill water I guess ? It seemed like this girl had an entire section to herself, and she did not seem very happy. This was an overwhelmingly disappointing experience given how expensive everything was, and with so many nearby options we don't feel any reason to ever go back. I think my photo says it all, have you ever seen so many fries on one plate ???? One positive : the drinks were amazing.

    I really enjoyed the food here, we were absolutely stuffed by the end. The larger plates take…read morearound 30-45 min, so make sure to pick those first and put in your order while you peruse the rest of the menu. I loved all the dishes, but the patatas bravas is a must, the sauce plus aioli with crispy potatoes was divine.

    Barcelona Wine Bar brings the atmosphere of a lively Spanish tapas bar to Boston with a menu built…read morearound shareable small plates, paellas, charcuterie, and an extensive wine selection. We walked into a warm, energetic space with dim lighting, an open dining room, and a constant buzz that makes it a great choice for a night out with friends or a date. The restaurant has a vibrant, social energy that encourages sharing and exploration, and the open layout adds to the sense of activity without feeling chaotic. Rather than ordering individual entrées, the experience is centered around sharing a variety of dishes, making each visit feel a little different depending on what you choose. The tapas are the highlight of the menu, with plenty of options that encourage trying a little bit of everything. The bacon-wrapped dates are one of the signature dishes, balancing sweet and savory flavors, while the patatas bravas, croquettes, and charcuterie boards are reliable choices to start the meal. If you are looking for something more substantial, the seafood paella and squid ink pasta stand out as excellent main dishes, offering rich flavors and generous portions that are easy to split between two or more people. The olive oil cake is also worth saving room for if you want to end the meal with dessert, and the overall progression of the meal works well with the tapas format. The drink menu is just as impressive as the food. Wine is the main focus, with an extensive list featuring Spanish and international selections, but the sangria and cocktails are equally popular. It is the kind of place where you can easily spend a couple of hours sharing plates while working your way through a few different drinks, and the beverage program is thoughtfully curated to match the style of the food. Service is one of the restaurant's strongest points. The staff are knowledgeable about both the menu and wine list, and dishes arrive steadily throughout the meal instead of all at once, creating a relaxed dining pace. The pacing allowed us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed, and the team checked in at the right moments without hovering. The restaurant is consistently busy, especially on weekends, so reservations are highly recommended. Even with a reservation, there can occasionally be a short wait, and the lively atmosphere means the dining room can get quite loud during peak hours. The energy of the room is part of what makes the experience work, but it is worth keeping in mind if you are looking for a quieter dinner. Barcelona Wine Bar is one of the best places in Boston for Spanish-inspired tapas and wine. The combination of flavorful shareable dishes, a well-curated drink menu, attentive service, and vibrant atmosphere makes it an easy choice for group dinners, celebrations, or date nights. It offers a meal that feels both communal and polished, with a setting that encourages slowing down and enjoying the evening. Just be prepared for the energetic environment and plan ahead if you are visiting during the busiest times.
