    Interior bar and kitchen
    Diane N.

    Wow this place is a vibe on Thursday night! (College Friday). Outdoor and indoor seating was fully booked but the bar seating was open and quick to be seated. These 2 items were the server recommendation: $16 TALEGGIO STUFFED FOCACCIA rosemary; olive oft mozzarella - This was delicious! It looked like they served me half a pie until I cut the flaky bread open to reveal the melted Mozarella and rosemary pieces. The salt on the bread just enhanced the flavor and paired nicely with all the ingredients. I completely devoured this appetizer. $27 SPAGHETTI CON VONGOLE saffron ciams. tomato butter - It was either this or the Bolognese. To each their own but I think I should have gone with the bolognese and here's why. The Spaghetti took roughly 30 minutes to come out. It looked great, but it was slightly more on the saltier side and pasta tasted gummy and undercooked. Don't know if it's the type of pasta they used or if the chef rushed it a bit early. However, there were plenty of clams in the dish to have for each bite. And enough tomato butter at the end when you complete your dish. And just a note: This is not a big portion. You come here to taste the flavors and feel good. Not to feel like you went to an all you can eat if that makes sense. Overall, would definitely come back to try the rest of the menu and perhaps a few artisan drinks if I didn't have to wake up so early the next day.

    I wanted to love this place but, it wasn't quite love. I think this restaurant has work to do with managing the volume of its clientele. They seemed very unprepared for the pace of the business. To start, we weren't seated until almost 35 minutes past our reservation. It was understandable that some tables like to sit and chat after their meal. My solution would be to leave seats open at the bar or have a table or two not booked back to back for reservations. It almost seemed like this restaurant was sacrificing the experience to flip another table. Instead of having a place to stand we were stuck behind people eating at the bar or by the kitchen constantly being moved out of the way. It was awkward and unpleasant. When we were finally seated, there was a custom menu that said "happy birthday" waiting which was a unique and fun touch. I loved that it was something personal that I hadn't encountered before. When we went to order food unfortunately the dish I wanted was sold out. They had "just sold" the last one. I couldn't help but think that if we had been seated on time, I would have had the dish I wanted. After some more debate, we ended up with the broccoli Caesar salad and focaccia for starters. Unfortunately, the staff came over with an extra salad and no focaccia which we wanted to go with the salad. The broccoli Caesar salad was probably the best item on the menu. It was charred with citrus dressing. I could eat that everyday. I had the steak entree which was well cooked and good quality but came with a deconstructed elote on the plate. It was strange in an Italian themed restaurant and was just odd overall. I also tried the salmon which was good and pretty plated and the bolognese. Both were average. When the main course was almost over our focaccia arrived. It was fabulous but too late. We ordered desert and coffee/tea. Deserts were all fantastic. I had a passion fruit dessert and tried both the creamsicle and cherry sorbet. All were perfectly balanced and great pallet cleansers. Unfortunately we had another blunder with the service here and the creamsicle dessert didn't arrive until we asked for it twice. Let's talk about the drinks. The wine list could use work. All the reds (about 5-6) were Italian which I get we're going with a theme but then elote on a plate? I would have liked a nice Pinot or Cab with my meal. Instead I settled for a wine that was just ok. The cappuccino were sub par. It's nice that they offer them but, the server was struggling to make them and you could tell. The tea was inexpensive and not the best quality or selection. I would expect more. Overall the server tried her best. I could tell she was frustrated by all of the issues that we were having, none of which were her fault. But, if this restaurant wants to stay at the top of Boston's food scene, they need to get their act together. There can't be no space for people to wait for their table and to have drinks, there can't be food being run out of and forgotten. There needs to be a premium experience all around. It just seemed like the restaurant was overwhelmed and didn't know what to do. I would say this restaurant is worth a try but probably not a second try. There are restaurants with just as good, if not better food with a 10x better experience. If I had a better experience I would have been more apt to come back. **side note: the manager was sitting at a table when we left and did not say a single word to us on the way out. I at least would have liked a "have a good night"

    We made a reservation about 20 minutes before showing up on a Tuesday night. It was fairly empty, so we were sat right down. Our waitress was incredible and gave great recommendations across the board. We were guided to do about 2-3 dishes per person and landed on 6 total. They were all delicious.

    Insalata di Indivia
    Allie G.

    Awesome for dinner! I made a reservation at Fox & The Knife after finding it on Yelp. The interior was modern and stylish, with dim lighting and neon signage. I usually don't love high-top seating, but our table was pretty comfortable. For drinks, I got a glass of Pinot Grigio, which was nice and crisp. For my first course, I ordered the Insalata di Indivia, which was different than I expected, but still very tasty. I just wish it had a bit more sweetness from the pear. I also tried a bit of my friend's Broccoli alla Griglia "Caesar", which was even better! I highly recommend ordering this as a starter. For my entree, I chose the Spaghetti con Vongole. This was absolutely delicious. The pasta was perfectly al dente and I loved the tomato butter sauce. Service was friendly and seamless! My friend is gluten-free and they brought out a special gluten-free menu for her and double-checked about dietary restrictions at least 3 separate times. Overall, we loved this spot for dinner!

    Stuffed focaccia
    Nina F.

    A moody, romantic dinner setting - Fox & The Knife was a popular destination even at opening. We were lucky to get seated at the bar only 10 minutes after opening due to how many reservations they had, so make sure to get your seat in advance with time to look for street parking if driving. Portions were pretty small, so you are advised to get a couple to share. The flavors were strong and unique, but a couple dishes were overly seasoned. Service was quick and felt a tad rushed instead of being able to linger. Overall, it's a great spot for couples or small groups.

    Jodi Y.

    Great ambiance and service. My friend and I each ordered a pasta and 3 appetizers - the chickpeas and a salad. We're not huge eaters & still had leftovers. I'd recommend the focaccia! Yummy and fresh! The restaurant is right by south station and easy to access.

    TALEGGIO STUFFED FOCACCIA
    Whitney M.

    My husband and I are both big fans of chef Karen Akunowicz, so we knew we needed to come while we were in town. We intentionally came hungry because we knew we wanted to try everything. We stayed off with the piatti di Emilia, which had the most unique flavor. We loved the idea of this appetizer. We also knew we had to order the taleggio stuffed focaccia, which is as good as it looks. The show stopper for me was the dessert. I had an espresso martini paired with a chai affogato (chair gelato with a shot of espresso). Our only downfall, was we were sat very close to what seems like the only waiter POS station, so it was often loud and not very intimate. But I would definitely recommend a visit. The location is very accessible via the T.

    Broccoli Caesar
    Cali O.

    We came to the Fox & the Knife for my boyfriend's birthday. When I made the reservation, I was asked the occasion and stated birthday (as one does when asked). When we arrived, his menu was printed with a personalized birthday wish with his name! I love the details! A+ hospitality. The restaurant was full on a Saturday night and I swear we got the best seat in the house. A corner table where we both got to sit on a booth. Thank you!!! The service was excellent throughout. The food was good, actually very good. But when the meal costs more than my monthly gym membership, I want everything to be extraordinary, ya know? Here's my feedback. Caveat: I'm particular (read: snobby) Stuffed focaccia: obviously it tastes good. It's bread stuffed with cheese. I was a little texturally disappointed as it was all super soft. The bread was soft, the cheese was soft. Do with that what you will. Broccoli Caesar: so delish. Lettuce is boring, and broccoli is fun. I really enjoyed this salad and everything about it Pepe e cacio: I've tried a lot of cacio e Pepe in the greater boston area and they all suck bc they aren't made properly. Notice the name change here. So smart. The dish was delicious. It wasn't pure cacio e Pepe (they use goat butter), but they never said it was, so hell yeah. Oh and the pasta itself--excellent!! Pollo: another word for chicken. The dish tasted good, but it wasn't special. I wouldn't order this again. It was a nice night with very good food overall. I wish we didn't end on the chicken. We probably would have been happier if we just had more pasta instead.

    Focaccia
    Ted K.

    Bustling trendy spot with enthusiastic wait staff. Loved the open kitchen) The fried chickpeas were great as was the focaccia (but the focaccia was on the softer side). The pastas are the stars here. Had the bolognese, pepe e cacio, and the spaghetti con vongole. All were delicious and perfectly al dente but if I had to choose one would pick the spaghetti con vongole. The pesce fritti was very good. Had the orange creamsicle, chocolate torta and passion fruit panna cotta. I'd rate the orange creamsicle the best, follow by the panna cotta. A truly enjoyable experience.

    Bolognese
    Joe J.

    Service really set the tone here. From the jump, Willie was incredibly knowledgeable about both the food and drinks, explaining dishes with confidence and genuine enthusiasm without ever being overbearing. He guided us through cocktails, helped pace a large table order effortlessly, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. You could tell he actually cares about what's coming out of the kitchen, which goes a long way. I also want to point out the attentiveness to allergies and their gluten free menu if requested. We ended up trying almost everything on the menu at Fox & the Knife, and there were some clear standouts. For starters, the Taleggio stuffed focaccia is an absolute must try. Warm, cheesy, indulgent, and exactly what you want to kick off a meal. The broccoli Caesar was also excellent, with a very bold and punchy Caesar and parmesan flavor that really delivered. The carne cruda and burrata were both done very nicely and met expectations for a high end Italian spot. Clean, fresh, and well executed. The chips and fried chickpeas are solid if you're having a round of drinks first, but they're more snackable fillers than must order items. Worth noting the pacing is fairly quick, so don't linger too long before appetizers. Food comes out fast. For pastas, the tagliatelle bolognese is hands down the star of the show. It's the largest portion on the table and also the most satisfying, with tender and flavorful meat and rich sauce. Easily the dish I'd come back for. The pollo al mattone was also a highlight. Incredibly juicy, tender, and cooked perfectly. A member also had the spaghetti and was very impressed. The mains were a bit more hit or miss. The steak was cooked well, but the portion was small and ultimately unremarkable. Nothing that would pull me away from a dedicated steakhouse. The milanese was good overall, but could have been crispier, and while the mustard sauce helped, it didn't fully make up for some dryness. Unfortunately, the chocolate torta was a miss for me. Hard and dry, and not the finish you'd hope for after such a strong meal. Overall, great energy, standout service, and some truly excellent dishes, especially the focaccia and bolognese. A few misses keep it from a perfect score, but still very much worth visiting, especially if Willie is taking care of your table.

    I've been wanting to come to Fox & The Knife and snagged a reservation recently. It was a nice experience! I LOVE that they have a shellfish-free menu and other menus for specific food allergies. They'll also mark it up with any other specific notes for allergies, which I so appreciated. On the food side, the endive salad was lovely, with a lot of fun textures. The pistachios gave a welcome crunch and the yogurt on the side was unexpected but worked really well. They have an awesome foccacia stuffed with taleggio cheese--honestly, why aren't lots of other people putting cheese in their foccacia? Missed opportunity! I had spaghetti as my entree, which isn't something that I would usually order but it was good, although the other dishes were more standout for me. I finished the meal with the orange creamsicle, which was a more refined take on an old school creamsicle. The ice cream was my favorite part but the granita on top was also nice. My server, Suzannah, was super friendly and attentive, and I had a chef's table seat and enjoyed watching the kitchen work! Always one of my favorite things.

    Alex L.

    Great for date night! Plates are small, but tasty. Tried the focaccia (must try), fried chickpeas, endive salad, vongole, bolognese, chicken, olive oil cake, and apricot sorbet. Desserts were just ok, but pastas and the rest are done very well!

    Phoebe L.

    I was super excited to try this spot after receiving multiple recommendations from friends and this did not disappoint. Friendly hostess and a great waitress who provided recommendations for the current menu. She also mentioned to aim for 5 options as the portion sizes were small. Also, appreciated them accommodating my table swap from a bar seating to a table. The food was well seasoned and flavorful though a little pricey to be honest. The scallops were so good but $40 for two scallops as an entree was a bit questionable in terms of value but the broth was exquisite. I also enjoyed the raviolo carbonara which I found a fun take on a classic dish. Overall, a pretty cute spot and would love to come back and try out their other seasonal options!

    Are they wheelchair accessible?

    Not exactly, but I am sure they can accommodate in the dining room. The powder room would be the problem, it's downstairs. The staff is excellent and would likely be helpful.

    Where is the best place to sit for birthday celebration for 2 guest , main dinning or chef's counter?

    Chefs counter or bar! Super great vibes there you can have a drink waiting for you when you come in and if you specify a birthday they will print it on a menu!

    Would it be unusual (or frowned upon) to bring older kids here (12 and 8)? I've been wanting to try this restaurant but we will have our kiddos with us.

    Children would be fine, tables are tight not allowing any wiggle room.

    Are there any vegan options here?

    Definitely! A lot of the dishes include cheese, but for the most part it is added, not cooked in, so you can ask them to hold it. Tell your server you are a vegan and I am sure they will work with you. It's a fantastic restaurant!

You know when you're eating a kale salad and the pieces are too big and you're kind of cramming them into your mouth and then the salad dressing is all over your face? This is NOT that salad! The kale is perfectly chopped so you can enjoy it with just your fork as you talk to your friend/spouse/date or just read your book. The dressing is such perfection, and the perfect amount, no gloopiness here! Crunchy breadcrumbs add magical texture and then there's a shower of finely grated gouda cheese on top. Have you ever read a good book and as you're reading it, you're so into it that you don't want it to end? So you slow down your reading speed to make it last a little longer?

Para Maria is just across the street from a waterfront spot that is very popular, so they don't have unobstructed water views, but we knew the water was there. And on a hot summer day in mid-August, they had the big garage doors open to the outside. It felt like we were somewhere beautiful and relaxing on vacation. We took two seats at their very large bar (which was not very busy at all on a Friday in the afternoon) and ordered a couple of drinks. Mine was their Picosita (Lalo Tequila, Ancho Reyes, Mango, Jalapeno, and Tajin rim), which was perfect for a summer day. I'd love to return with a group, because their margarita pitchers come in lots of flavors/styles (classic, strawberry, lychee, guava, coconut, and spicy), and that would be a great thing to share with friends on the patio of the bar.

    Krasi is a classic, high-end Greek restaurant with an excellent food and drink selection. It was a…read moregreat choice to catch up with friends and celebrate after a difficult med school exam! We chose to sit outside; it was a chilly fall evening when we went last year, but we got some lap blankets which was a nice touch, so brownie points for service. My friend and I split the pastitsio (meat pasta dish), kotopoulo (a chicken dish), louza charcuterie, and tiropita (halloumi rolls). The rolls were stuffed with halloumi and were dense in the best way possible. Coupled with the louza charcuterie, the appetizers were a hit. The two entrees were small but mighty - they were packed with rich meats but also featured microgreens, herbs, and other tangy, bold flavors that really balanced the dishes. We got some glasses of Greek orange wine that I can't remember the name of but it paired excellently with the food per our waitress's recommendation. Overall, a solid Greek option if you're in Back Bay! But definitely make a reservation if you can.

    Lovely ambience..perfect for a date night. We were seated indoors and realised it was too loud so…read morewe requested to be seated on the patio. We got the Tiropita rolls 5/5: the best of the lot. Crispy on the outside and doughy and cheesy on the inside. The Greek honey butter and olives were perfect! The butter was light and airy Tzatziki trio 3.5/5: the dips were great, especially the corn one and the beetroot one, even if a little bland Skopiteniki 3/5: the shell was good but the stuffing was okay..almost forgettable. The dish was also too dry. The wine was great! The server had us try a couple and helped us pick. My partner's wine was delayed so they took off the wine charges on our final bill.
