I came here for the Nite Brunch experience at the end of the year and honestly loved everything on the menu--I wish I could have ordered one of everything. The standouts for me were the mini pancakes, the wedge salad with tomato jam (AHHMAZING), and especially the cornbread... you have to get the cornbread! The ambiance is super cute, filled with flowers and plants, making it a perfect spot for plant lovers. It's also quiet, intimate, and cozy--great for a relaxed brunch vibe. Definitely a memorable experience! read more

I've mainly only come for theme dinners (mushroom, tomato), and once for a work dinner off the main menu. The staff is accostumed to dealing with large groups and is very patient and knowledgeable about the menu. Service is always top notch, and the food is farm-to-table fresh and fun. Plenty of vegetarian options always on offer, too. read more

I have to say, this place is an experience. It's definitely worth the visit if you're looking for a vegetarian friendly / delicious experience. While the dishes may look basic in ingredients, the combination and quality of the finished dish is amazing. Some dishes were better than the others (hello, beets), everything was surprisingly tasteful. Service was friendly and decorations were appropriate, very "green" and welcoming. Prices are definitely on the higher side as expected and portions are fairly small as with farm to table places. The main reason they didn't earn the fifth star was that the mocktails (and maybe cocktail) options were a canned which I did not realize. Also, the desserts, while the descriptions At a farm to table, I would have expected something made in house. looked very appealing/interesting, were nothing to write home about. While I understand the rotating menus I would also have expected something with meet besides the uncooked beef dish (there were two seafood options). All in all a good experience worth checking out. Oh, would not recommend for birthday celebration. The "celebration" was just a candle in a little jar. Nothing special. Made it feel lack luster. read more

I wanted to like Field and Vine so much... I just felt like the food was overpriced for what it was. The portions were also a bit small. The flavor was lacking in the appetizer (the crudo?) and the sausage dish. The swordfish was definitely the best dish - perfectly cooked and flavorful. The ingredients were very fresh and high quality but we were underwhelmed unfortunately. I loved the ambiance and service. Both were impressive. read more

Had a bit of a tough time deciding if this was going to be a 3 or 4 star review, but I need to settle on a 3. Ambiance was really nice here and service was good as well, but can't say it was great which is okay. The part that dropped off the extra star for me was the food ultimately. It was pretty good, but idk, maybe I just had higher expectations. The beef tartare just had too many greens in it. I see what they were trying to do, but the ball was dropped. They also had a steak special and for the price you pay for it, definitely not justified. Tho the portion wasn't the issue, the steak was incredibly chewy and wasn't good. The taste was flat. If I had to say which item stood out the most in terms of taste and being different, it had to be the house pickles. Oh... and just skip the desserts. read more

Love this place! The restaurant is super cute and covered with plants. I thought about asking for some pointers about keeping houseplants alive but decided instead to focus on the menu. They serve beer and wine, no cocktails, but I loved the glass of red I tried (enough to order a second glass). Upon reading the menu, I didn't feel super excited; however every single dish hit the mark. The beef tartare is a must-try along with the cast iron cornbread. I feel like with my meals in the boston area it is rare to be obsessed with every item we order, but here is an exception. The flavors were well balanced on every single dish and I loved them all. The service was wonderful as well. Our server was incredible kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Field & Vine read more

Farm to table vibes with great plant/natural decor! It's an intimate small plates restaurant that recommended 2 plates per person. We tried the Tuna Carpaccio (5/5 creative with beets too), Scallion Cheddar Cornbread (5/5 their signature), Kale Salad (4/5), King Oyster Mushrooms (5/5 great flavors), Bavette Steak (5/5), Carrots (5/5), Grilled Fish Collar (5/5 and also interesting flavors), and the Duck (4/5). For dessert, we tried the Miso Apple Cake (the table favorite), Chocolate Pot de Crème, and Dark Chocolate Sorbet. The one thing is that this place is a bit particular. They're quite strict on arrival time (part of our party was going to be 5 minutes late) and ordering (had to be all at once), and this came across a bit off putting. The food was good though, and it was still an overall great meal! read more

Came here for an anniversary dinner and it was a nice spot to celebrate, but didn't wow us. We had the beef tartare, scallion cornbread, charred cabbage, pork sausage, mushrooms, tuna collar special and the ice-cream sandwich. I was looking forward to the beef tartare but we didn't end up getting much beef, it was hiding under a bunch of greens (see pic) and we each got about 2 bites worth. My favorites were the scallion cornbread and the tuna collar special. The collar was cooked perfectly - so tender and a good sized portion, it was the most memorable part of the meal me. Sausage and mushrooms were okay. The cabbage had good flavor, but it was hard to cut with the very dull knife provided (this was true for all the knives - they were all strangely dull) and the dressing became a watery mess within a min of it being dropped at the table. The icecream sandwich also left a lot to be desired, the macaron shell just came off as sort of a stale texture, but the lemony flavor was nice. I did like the glass of sauv blanc with the meal - it was refreshing and had a lovely minerality to it. As for service, the server was attentive and prompt without being invasive, and the food runners staggered the plates nicely over the course of the meal. Ambiance is nice with an upscale but casual farmhouse meets mid century modern vibe- the vine decor is unique. Overall I enjoyed my time at the restaurant but it was not a stand out in terms of innovative farm to table offerings. read more

Cute place & very friendly service. Our fave bartender works here so we had to check it out. We had the tuna carpaccio (amazing), the beef tartare and the pork loin. Absolutely loved the tuna! We heard the couple next to us order the beef tartare without the peanuts and wondered why! The tartare is good but the taste was completely overpowered by the peanuts. Great tip for our next visit. The pork was plain and I wouldn't order it again. Gratuity is automatically included (20%) and there is a kitchen appreciation fee as well. I think we will definitely be back for the tuna/drinks but I would skip dinner. read more

Top 4 in the city. It seems silly to split hairs when parsing the elite restaurants in and around Boston. Field & Vine is one of them. There have been a spat of disgruntled yelpers spouting off about F&V. Pay them no mind. The Parisienne Gnocci is spectacular. It's still the only restaurant around that serves tomatoes for $19 and you finish wanting more . . . And then there's the Sweet Corn Habanero Ice Cream. I ate four scoops. FOUR! read more

What's Great: Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5 Food is amazing, Service is exceptional, Great vibe. What's Disappointing: Location: Hidden & Invisible!! Auto 20% Gratuity: Poor!! 2 HR Limited Dining Time Without Prior Notice!! First time trying this place. The restaurant was very difficult to find, it was hidden in an alley, and there were no signs on the street. I would definitely give extra $$ for great services but would appreciated the option to choose our own gratuity % and if auto tips are included you should at least inform customers in prior notice. Last disappointment was the limited 2 hour dining time WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE ON RESERVATIONS!! As first time customers, you should at least notify this policy prior to our reservation. We ordered two desserts, and with only ten minutes left, we had to eat them very quickly, so we didn't really get to enjoy them properly. The overall experience wasn't the best! read more

Delicious food, great service, relaxing atmosphere. Would definitely go back to try new menu items.

A literal hidden gem inside an alley, Field and Vine is worth discovering. A bright green door leads you inside where you are greeted by a wall of plants and natural decor. Overall vibe was romantic and intimate in a small, cozy setting. The food is high quality and filling. The veggie dishes impress just as much as the main protein courses. They are sizable portions meant to be shared. Our favorites were the tuna carpaccio, cornbread, cavatelli, and cabbage. Who knew you could make a grilled cabbage so delicious?! The garlic and mushroom combo with the cavatelli was magical. We had great service and left happy and full. For a nice dinner of 5 dishes and a glass of wine, our bill was only $150 which was very reasonable. Perfect spot for date night or meeting another couple out. read more

Ambiance & decor was a 12/10. Best in Boston on god. We went with my mom who is a crazy plant lady and she was in love with all the plants and arrangements. So many details. Wow. Oh! The food! Food was great #f2t #farmtotable. The cabbage was surprisingly the star of the night! It's charred in a brown butter on this garlicky cream boy oh boy. Can't wait to go back. read more

I came here for a special seafood tasting menu. It's all unique items so I won't break them down. But every dish was amazing and full of flavors. Their bread/flatbread is awesome too. The staff there are among the friendliest I have experienced at a restaurant, which is saying a lot. I will def come here again and try out the regular menu and highly recommend everyone to try this place out 5/5 read more

I had a great evening at Field & Vine. My partner and I are vegan and vegetarian, respectively, and Field & Vine had a dedicated vegan/vegetarian menu for us. The vegan items we ordered were the salad with vegan Caesar dressing, a grilled cabbage dish, house pickles, grilled focaccia, and a sweet potato dish. The salad was the best vegan Caesar salad I have had, featuring toasted almonds and a crunchy crouton-like crumble, and I would return just for this. It is rare to see a cabbage-starring dish that is so well-executed. I also enjoyed the sweet potato dish. I don't love smoky flavors, so the grilled focaccia wasn't my favorite (though the bread itself was excellent), and the pickles were hit or miss, depending on the relevant spice mixtures (I enjoyed the cabbage and jalapeño ones). The staff were friendly, and the numerous plants inside the restaurant created a great atmosphere, fitting the restaurant's name. Honestly, I was on the fence about choosing to eat here as a vegan based on the website, but it was a wonderful experience. My partner also had the cornbread and gnocchi, the cornbread being excellent in particular. It would be great if they had one or two additional vegan items or did not use gelatin in their futsu squash dish, which looked amazing, but I would highly recommend Field & Vine overall. read more

Enjoyed the beef tartare and bavette. There was a snafu with an overdone pork chop and with the subsequent bill but they sorted it out eventually. read more

Second time coming here. Unbelievable food, service, ambiance = 10/10 Had the orange wine to pair with my meal. For food: Started with the oysters and ceviche, next we're the crispy beets and the cornbread, next was the warm cheese and Brussels sprouts, and lastly was the swordfish. For dessert: We had the rosemary and almond cake The menu is quite strange as it pairs things that typically would not be paired together. However, when you try it, you're left in awe and a "why have we not tried this before" experience. The plates are small but meant to share. Do not underestimate the size because it will fill you up! For our party of four, a serving of 8-10 dishes were recommended. My favorite part of this restaurant is that the menu is seasonal and they use fresh ingredients. It's guaranteed that you'll have a different meal every time you come! read more

Delicious and creative farm-to-table food! They have a beautiful woodsy interior. Sat at the chef's counter and loved watching them prepare everything. They have a rotating seasonal menu, but I don't doubt that everything they offer is good. The shaved smoked lamb shoulder with sesame naan was INCREDIBLE. So tender and flavorful, maybe the best lamb dish I've ever had. The cheddar scallion cornbread was also good but kinda heavy--would be better for sharing. Super worth the trek into Somerville, itching to go back. read more

My partner and I dined here two years ago and were absolutely blown away -- it was one of the most memorable meals we've had, and we've talked about it ever since. We live out of state, so when we found ourselves back in town, returning was something we were genuinely excited about. Unfortunately, our experience last night didn't live up to what we remembered. We were disappointed to find that the quality of the food seemed to have declined significantly. The beef tartare was overwhelmed by aioli with very little actual meat, the clams in curry were extremely salty with almost no broth, the asparagus lacked depth and flavor. I could go on and on We spent $175 and left not only hungry but truly disappointed, especially considering how exceptional our first visit had been. I don't often leave negative feedback, but the contrast between our two experiences was stark enough that I felt compelled to share. I'm not sure if there's been a change in chef or ownership, but sadly, it just didn't feel like the same restaurant we fell in love with. We won't be coming back.. read more

**Closer to 3.5 stars. The restaurant is adorable, it gives woodsy greenhouse and sitting at the chef's counter to watch the food being prepared is fun and immersive. While our server was very kind, I wouldn't say the service was overly exceptional and it would've been nice to get some engagement from behind the counter other than quickly dropping our plates - I say this given that there's a 20% gratuity + 3% kitchen fee automatically included. Happy to support the staff, but I wish the service had really exceeded expectations. All the food was tasty and interesting but a bit overpriced for shared plate portions. We ordered 5 plates (and 2 desserts) for two people as recommended - tuna carpaccio, beef tartare, gem lettuce, risotto, and pork loin. The pork was probably the favorite as it was cooked perfectly but the risotto was a little watery and al dente for our taste, albeit flavorful. Overall, a cute spot to try for a date night or catching up with a friend but be aware that the bill can rack up quickly, especially if your party has more than 2 people. read more

One sausage, yes ONE sausage, was $34. Really? The two of us had 1 glass of wine each, shared 4 small plates, and the bill was, with tip included, $194. Food was average at best, quantity was meager. RIP-OFF read more

Cute little area located in Somerville with the entrance to Field & Vine tucked away. Not a huge dining area inside, but it's decorated beautifully. We shared five items and every single one was delicious. Shared plate style so they brought out each dish as they were ready from the kitchen, and every dish they brought out was better than the one prior. What we ordered: - half a dozen oysters - striped bass ceviche - cheddar scallion cornbread - cherry tomatoes - grilled swordfish It's going to seem weird, but the cherry tomatoes might have been the best thing, so good! The swordfish was also great, mainly the mint and dill sauce that came with it. I don't visit Boston all that often, but next time I do this will be a must visit. read more

Food and service was top notch. I only wish they served cocktails. MVPs of the night were: 1. Cucumber salad - oh so refreshing! Must get! 2. The ceviche with squid ink crackers We also got the crispy potatoes, crudo and the corn - all were pretty darn good. Will definitely be back! read more

Extremely exciting interior,creative and well thought design, inviting ambience. Best service you can expect from busy establishment and super knowledgeable staff. Now to the food. Nothing was wrong or bad,fish ceviche had complexity and flavor profile was up to the standards. But plate was intended to share and priced around 20 dollars and it wasn't enough for even tasting. Same thing was with all plates, bluefish entree costs 36 dollars but it was tiny piece of braised fish on top of tiny amount of vegetables. Taste was fine,but nothing special. All in all, this is trendy design,good vibes,but somewhat no impressive food and quite overpriced. read more

We love stopping here when we're in Boston. The food and service are always top notch and the ambience is great as well. Parking can be tough so get there a little early. Here's a food rundown: Field Green Salad: great to start with, fresh lettuce and great textures. Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread: this is so good. It's the dish you'll remember most. Comes with a miso butter and picked veggies Cavatelli: this was good, all the tastes of spring! Sweet Potato: really good veggie side read more

Probably the most underrated restaurant in the Boston area. One of the top 3 best restaurants I've ever been to. Every dish was outstanding and so creative and unique. Also the olive oil ice cream? That was a first for me and changed my life forever. If you love good food and a great experience this is a must go place. read more

Field and Vine is "our place". As parents who rarely are able to get childcare, we go here once a season, when the menu changes. Every meal we have had here has kept us talking the rest of the evening. It is Michelin level food for local dining price. I cannot say enough amazing things. I would eat here every date night knowing the experience I will have is better than any other. read more

I have had F&V on my "local bucket list" for years. Every time I am over in Union at Backbar or Warehouse XII, I see this place from the outside and it looks so cool through the windows. My husband brought me here for my birthday and I was SO looking forward to it, and ended up being a little bummed out. The aesthetic and vibe is cool, indeed. Music is great. Decor is excellent. The waitstaff are pretty chill and don't hover; they seem to know the menu well. I just could not really get into the food here... I really couldn't. Here is what we ate: *tuna crudo - was fine, nothing amazing, very small portions *beef tartare - I dont eat beef, but my husband ordered this and the chips were so excellent. Wish I could have just gotten those. *cheddar cornbread - this was literally cheese bread. Salty, too cheddar-y, and hardly any cornbread flavor. I did not enjoy it personally. *brussels sprouts salad - this was my fave dish. Flavorful, great texture... yummy. I'd get this again. *grilled pork - I forget what the accoutrement was that accompanied this dish, but again, it was fine. The pork was cooked nicely and tasted good but it didn't stand out/blow my mind. I'd recommend this place to grab a glass of wine and maybe an app or two, and then move elsewhere for dinner. read more

A friend and I had a lovely dinner here in late spring. I eat mostly seafood and fish; my friend is vegan (but will eat vegetarian, if those are her options) and does not drink. Field & Vine is a little hidden, but it makes the atmosphere all the better. The space is small, open, and filled with greenery. The menu caters to both non-vegetarians and vegetarians or vegans (depending on the dish). My friend and I had an abundance of choices, both for drinks and food. Field & Vine had some clever mocktails and great sodas for my friend, and a fantastic array of cocktails and wine for me. As far as food, most dishes had an option to make it vegetarian, if not vegan. We enjoyed everything we had. Boston can be a very seafood-forward city, so if you find yourself having a vegetarian or vegan dining companion, Field & Vine has kind service and options for everyone. read more

Field & Vine is DELICIOUS and such a gem of a spot! We discovered it in December and absolutely had to return because there were a few items we just couldn't fit then but really wanted to try. I'm so glad we came back while they were still on the menu! After two visits - our absolute favorites were: - Chicken Liver Mousse - Beef Tartare - Squash - Cabbage I might pass on: - Tuna Carpaccio In general - I think this is one of those places where you either have to go back repeatedly to try things or you should just order all the appetizers and skip the mains (to increase the sheer number of delicious and creative things you get to try). Oh - and the service was EXCELLENT! Kirstin (sp?) is our favorite!!! Definitely a Boston Best! read more

We came here with my bf's parents as his birthday get together and overall very much enjoyed the food here. Our server was very informative and friendly! He even marked up the menu for me as to what I can and cannot eat as I have a shellfish allergy. We LOVED the black bass crudo. SO SO SO good it was everyone's favorite thing that we had ordered. Shishito peppers: very delicious, seasoned very well and we enjoyed it! Pork: so good!!! Deff a must try :) very flavorful and well cooked. Cucumber salad: very refreshing no complaints! Cornbread: this was really good and paired so well with the miso butter they give you to put on the bread! Beef tartare: this was good but nothing super impressive, not sure if we would order again. Duck: I'm not a huge duck fan, and wasn't as popular within our table but wasn't bad, a little dry. I just personally do not like duck. Dessert: lavender chocolate pudding? I don't remember the exact name for the dessert but we were not a huge fan, it was kind of salty and we did not finish. Wine: We tried their Orange wine and we would not recommend. Nothing special kind of bland and not that pleasant. Red wines: we tried two glasses of the red wine they had by glass and they were both delicious! Definitely ask for the server's recommendation on the red wines based on your liking of reds. We overall enjoyed dinning here and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very pretty!! read more

Decent tapas style restaurant in Somerville. I loved the cute interior design of this place. The restaurant had a lot of cute plants and natural lighting through the window. Some of the highlights from our dinner included peaches and beets (so refreshing), cornbread (seriously amazing), and shishito peppers. These were all great dishes, but what I actually remember the most from my meal was the olive oil ice cream which sounds initially a bit strange but had the most impeccable flavor. read more
