    French Fries "Au Canard"
    Eva A.

    I don't typically go to the more upscale spots but came here on a date night. The bartender greeted us with our names when we sat down (resi was at the bar) and throughout the night was very nice and friendly. The drinks were alright, we got classics (gimlet and cosmo, as their house cocktail list didn't have much to choose from). However the food was impressive. The presentation was beautiful. The duck fat fries delicious, and a large portion- lovely to snack on while you wait for the entree. The duck entree was perfect, the meat melted in your mouth and failed beautifully with the sauce/mushrooms underneath. Note that the chicken and duck take ~30 min. I loved the staff's uniforms and how everyone held themselves, as staff presences in these types of establishments matter. All that said I agree with other reviews that overall, it wasn't much to write home about, but i had a lovely experience and would recommend for a fancier date night!

    French onion soup

    Deuxave had been on my list for quite a while, so I decided to make a reservation and got lucky with street parking right across Commonwealth. When I checked in at the host stand, they offered a coat check service, which was helpful. The decor is sophisticated yet not overdone, with a great wine wall--I'm always a sucker for those. I was seated at the bar and was pleased to see an amuse bouche, which seem to have fallen out of favor at some restaurants labeling themselves as fine dining. While I am typically not a mushroom fan, I found the amuse bouche to be quite tasty. I started off with the French onion soup, which was accompanied by a flavorful crouton. The soup was very nicely done! I had the Long Island duck breast as my entree, and it was excellent. From the pairing with the sweet potato puree to the bed of well-coordinated veggies below the duck, this was some of the best duck I've had in recent memory. It also was very meaty, and even the duck fat was rendered nicely. I paired this with a glass of Syrah, which was a great match for the meal. While I was tempted to do a full dessert, I was stuffed, so I ordered a single scoop of the smoked vanilla bean ice cream. And WHOA! This ice cream was an absolute show stopper--I savored every bite and still wonder how they packed such an incredibly large amount of flavor into one scoop. My only ding is that the staff unfortunately lost the stocking cap that was tucked into my coat pocket, and they were not able to find it after the meal ended. I was less sad about the stocking cap and more about the windy, cold night outside, but at least it wasn't a long walk to my car. I hope Deuxave enjoys many more years in Boston, and I'll be back!

    We went for the tasting menu paired with non-alcoholic beverages and it was a shockingly nice touch! Our server had an incredible knowledge of the non-alcoholic wine which was so appreciated, our favorite was the jasmine. Loved the service, he was wonderfully accommodating when we asked to be moved to a more private table. The food was spectacular, though there was so much we could barely finish. My personal favorite was the melon salad. Her favorite was the foie gras. Atmosphere was quiet and sophisticated. Would definitely do this again

    I had a lovely meal here with a friend on a recent trip to Boston. We were immediately seated in a cozy nook that was quiet and perfect for catching up but also great for people watching we opted for the prefix menu and enjoyed our meal. the fish was cooked to perfection, the amuse Bouche was one of my favorites and of course I love the desserts!

    This is more like a 3.5 but given the price I will round down. Deuxave is a staple - it's in the quiet rich area of commonwealth ave, between kenmore and Newbury. It's been in business the whole time I've lived in Boston, nearly a decade now. I am sure it precedes me. Boston has a lot of decently upscale French restaurants, this being one of them. It's a safe choice for an anniversary dinner or a parents in town dinner. That being said - it is nothing special, especially for the price. The ambiance could have set it up to be something extraordinary. Props to management for making waiters wear nice uniforms with tie bars and button downs. There is a sommelier. But there were lots of little things that ruined the experience for me considering I was in a party of 5 with over $200 pp spend: - it was cold. I had to ask 3 times to turn on the fireplace next to me (3!) and I was finally told they didn't have gas for it. It's October? Offer to turn up the heat? Offer to move us? Something? Anything? - we had to ask to have our wine repoured. Multiple times. The glasses were empty for a while before we finally asked. - women are not served first, and in fact, I wasn't done ordering before the waiter went to the next guest. It actually felt disrespectful, but perhaps it wasn't intentional. - bill was brought before we had a chance to ask for coffee/tea. - bread service was one brioche which wasn't fully or evenly laminated and quite gooey in the middle from the butter layers not having separated. I would have preferred regular sourdough slices or rolls. - in general, our waiter would disappear or be busy chatting with a friendly table and we'd be waiting for a while when we needed something. - I liked that the menu changed every day depending on what they had in the kitchen, but I simply didn't love any of the appetizer options. It's okay. I know how pretentious this review sounds. But I think it's warranted when you're asked to pay $$$ and you can tell they are putting out the promise of luxury without executing (but charging for it).

    Had a lovely birthday dinner at Deuxave. Their ambiance exudes casual elegance. The staff seemed professional and kind. They warmly greeted us and every time they explained the dishes, you could tell they were very proud of the dish they were serving. We got their seasonal tasting menu and were thoroughly impressed. My favorites were the roasted duck breast and homemade tortellini. The second we tried the tortellini, we knew it was the dish of the night. It was buzzing with rich creaminess inside but was perfectly complimented with the freshness of the roasted corn, red pepper & fresh pesto. We ended the night with their sticky toffee pudding with coffee ice-cream which was to die for. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for hosting such a wonderful meal & providing such lovely service.

    Heirloom Beet Salad

    Star moments: the bread ! Came out warm and was similar to a croissant in texture. Wonderful way to start the meal! Food was overall tasty but nothing outstanding. The service was also very slow. Overall it was solid but not mind blowing

    Excellent meal, service and total experience. We had the tasting menu option and everything was great (even the salad!).

    This place is French in a good way. We were greeted warmly and seated by the large windows overlooking Mass Ave. The place exudes casual elegance -- candlelight, brick, the ubiquitous wine display. Magically, the waitstaff was there when you needed them and in the background when you did not. We dined on duck confit, scallops, and homemade tagliatelle. Ok, I think you could skip the tagliatelle but the server did warn us it was a "neighborhood" dish. All were well prepared and thoughtful. We enjoyed the combination of jicama with duck confit, and the watercress brought a freshness to the scallops. Would highly recommend trying the goat cheese and espresso cake. It seemed weird to us, but we found the combination delightful. This place has been here for years and appears to be going strong. We'll be back.

    Spiced duck breast
    Meg C.

    Classy dinner spot with romantic, low lit ambiance, huge arched windows, brick walls, a cozy fireplace, wine towers in glass and excellent service. They take your coat when you first get there and the server was attentive, friendly, and informative without being overbearing. We started with the foie gras, which was decadent but not worth getting again for the price point IMO. The star of the show was the duck breast. The duck was cooked a perfect med rare and I loved the savory farro risotto and mushrooms - a very umami forward pair. It was balanced by the spiced persimmon puree which was sweet, but the spices were a bit too strong, so I dipped sparingly. My partner had the bolognese which was good, but we both agreed the duck was better. All of the plating was beautiful and meticulously done. I had the recommended pinot pairing with the duck and was not very impressed. It tasted a bit hot, especially for a pinot and the nose was a bit funky. I don't think it was corked but it wasn't great, which surprised me given the wine list is enormous and pricey. To finish we got the chocolate souffle and it was hot, fluffy and rich. A classic that was well done and a good way to end our meal. Overall it was a lovely date night out. Not sure if I need to return but it's a nice place for a special occasion.

    Food is fantastic. The wine list is exquisite. The cocktails are excellent- highly recommend the duck fashioned. Every single thing we ordered was delicious. Ambiance is lovely, as was our server. We had a very memorable date night.

    Servers were polite, gave decent recommendations. We sat outside and the weather was nice. The inside was a little smaller in size so I appreciated the outside better. Food was solid wasnt amazing but it certainly wasnt bad.

    Ask the Community - Deuxave

    What's the difference of Deuxave's Standard seats and High Top seats?

    There are 3-4 high top tables next to the bar, they overlook Comm Ave and the patio. It would be a more casual experience as the tables are smaller and you'd see more activity. The standard tables are in the main dining area.

    Deuxave or Popeyes? Which one has better customer service? I like fried chicken but I know that the D-something-place got good wine. Anyone can help?

    This has to be a joke. The difference between Deuxave and Popeyes is like asking who has better room service, the Ritz Carlton or Motel 6. Deuxave doesn't serve fried chicken but KFC does.

    Was this restaurant on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares S5E3? I just watched the episode and that was hilarious. Anyone?

    I highly doubt it. The food is off the charts spectacular & the presentations are art work not to mention incredible wine list & service. I'd be shocked if it was the restaurant.

    What is the dress code?

    Classy. Definitely no ball caps.
