    Not pictured is the French onion soup Mac and cheese which was pretty good and our drinks, all delish! Service was great, our waiter was helpful in explaining/suggesting dishes, it would be cute date night spot or hang out with friends and you want to feel like you are out of town,

    Steak Tartare
    May H.

    Came here for Saturday lunch and had a great experience. I made a reservation the night before just to be safe. It was a quite busy, but I don't think the wait would be long without a reservation. The greenhouse section was full when I arrived, with about a 15-minute wait, but I decided to sit in the dining room instead -- still beautifully decorated and full of charm. The food didn't disappoint. The steak tartare was flavorful, and the steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. The duck confit as well, with generous portions of tender duck, and the poached eggs were done just right. Service was attentive, with both the host and our server checking in often to make sure everything was going well. Would definitely recommend and come back again to try their sweet breakfasts.

    Phenomenal brunch, but of note, the Mushroom Spinach Crepe (brown onions, kale, scrambled egg, spinach bechamel, mushrooms) was gorgeously cooked and constructed; perhaps one of the best dishes I've had in 2025. The mushrooms and bechamel were *chefs kiss* delicious. Along with a light house salad, crisp and chilled radishes, pickled onions and a light vinaigrette. Ahhh!! Pure joy. I was stuffed and happy. Ambiance was perfectly appropriate for Sunday Brunch and service was swift.

    Stopped here for a drink before dinner. Great cocktail list and nice little snacks. The white Negroni wasn't my cup of tea but it was well made. Oysters were delicious and very fresh.

    This place has been sitting on my "someday soon" list for a while, and I finally made it. First thing to know: accessibility is not its strong suit. The stairs going in are narrow, the trip to the bathroom downstairs is a single-file adventure, and even the patio has a step down. Just something to keep in mind if that matters for you or your group. The space itself is interesting. Big enough for groups up front, a few smaller tables tucked away in the back, and greenery here and there that makes it feel less "restaurant box" and more alive. It can get chilly depending on where you sit, so maybe bring a layer. There's an open kitchen, which I love--you get a peek at the action (and a whiff of what's coming). Service was fine, not over the top, not checked-out either. Just... solid. Food: I had steak and eggs with potatoes and one of their mocktails. Huge points to them for having a creative zero-alcohol menu--it wasn't just soda or juice slapped in a glass. My guest went for the lobster eggs benedict, and while the lobster portion wasn't massive (maybe four ounces), they said it was worth every bite. For dessert, I got treated to a birthday surprise--a chocolate mousse situation with strawberries--and it was delicious. Now, the not-so-great: when the music goes up, the conversation goes down. Between that and the hum of AC/vents/whatever, it was tough to hear even sitting across the table. And this was at 10 a.m.! So if you're planning a catch-up with someone who struggles with hearing, it might not be the easiest spot. Overall, I'd go back. The food was good, the vibe has character, and even with its quirks, it feels like the kind of place you keep in your rotation.

    Came here on a weekday night with the family. The food was incredible and the staff was super nice. There is no kids menu, but the kindly made a butter pasta with chicken for my son. French onion soup, salmon, pasta, chicken and lamb chops were all excellent. It is pricey, even for the South End. They also add a 3% kitchen fee. We would come here again.

    Frenchie Toast

    Finally got a chance to venture over to Frenchie for brunch recently. The menu was full of so many must haves for us but we settled on the Lobster Benedict, Frenchie toast, Vennienostiere basket and the Assorted Fruit Cup for the baby. Pros: Frenchie toast, instagrammable atmosphere complete with neon lights, and friendly service. Cons: Lobster in the Benedict was a tad rubbery and for the cost, it was a bit disappointing. Finding parking also took as long as our whole dining experience. Pro tip: We found some parking over by Berkeley Street past the Life Alive right on top of the highway overpass. This was basically one of the only places to park that wasn't resident only.

    A cute place for a brunch date! We sat in the greenhouse area which was cute, but maybe looks a little bit bigger/nicer in Instagram photos. It's still very nice and air conditioned too. I love that the eggs Benedict come in a croissant, it was delicious. I also tried the duck hash and that was tasty too. And of course, had to get their frozen espresso martini, which was perfect for a hot day.

    The lamb appetizer is cooked to perfection. Ask for side of bread to soak up the delicious sauce it comes in.

    Frenchie Wine Bistro is an adorable spot. We were in the back room (almost with a sunroom feel) that had the cutest view. This would be a great first date spot! The food was all really, really good. The cheese, while you don't get much of it, was so delicious. The salmon and risotto were also perfectly cooked and really flavorful. I'd highly recommend this place! It's very small, the waitstaff was very nice. We got here early so it wasn't super busy, but with so few tables I can imagine it could be hard to get in.

    Frenchie Wine Bistro is an absolute gem in the heart of the South End! From the moment you walk in, the cozy yet chic ambiance draws you in. They even decorated for Halloween which contributed to the fun atmosphere. They had a great playlist going and not too loud. The staff was warm, attentive, and kind. I ordered the nutella crepe with a side of crispy bacon and red potatoes which was out of this world. The fruit on the crepe was fresh and the nutella was rich. The bacon and potatoes were perfection and well seasoned. My friend ordered the eggs benedict with a side of french fries, white toast and avocado which she said was one of the best she's ever had. My other friend ordered the traditional onion soup with a side of french fries - perfect for a fall day and great flavor! As for drinks, we ordered mimosas and raspberry bellinis, they were basic but great. I would definitely come back for another brunch outing or to even try dinner for a date night!

    A beautiful French bistro with a hidden oasis is my ideal way to Brunch on a Sunday. It was really easy to reserve a reservation online for a spot with myself and two friends. The host was very friendly and offered me the option to eat outside on the patio or inside. I requested to sit inside the greenhouse garden room and they accommodated to my ask! The menu had so many options but what caught my eye was the mushroom crepe with the bechamel. Our table also ordered smoked salmon Benedict and Frenchie toast. And my latte was delicious and strong. I just loved being in the greenhouse where I felt transported out of the city. It was quite romantic and so lovely. I'd definitely recommend anyone to Frenchie for the experience! I would love to come back and try some more delicious French food paired with a glass of wine.

    You are here!

    A local suggested Frenchie for Sunday brunch before we headed home. It's a cute place with outdoor seating and a garden room in the back. With the kitchen in the middle, it was pretty toasty there. We enjoyed the cool air in the garden room. There were maybe eight tables occupied when we arrived at 10:30am. There wasn't much energy or excitement in the place. A Mimosa was a great way to start our meal. For our meal, we started with the Traditional Onion Soup that was served nuclear hot. It was beautifully presented and yummy!. I had read the Eggs Benedict were excellent and they lived up to their reviews. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't ordered fries with it.

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.

From the moment you enter, the setting makes an impression -- the dining room is decadent and beautifully designed, with rich finishes, dramatic details, and sweeping city views that create a luxurious yet inviting atmosphere. It feels special without being overly formal, making it perfect for celebrations or a sophisticated afternoon treat. The tea selection is thoughtfully curated, featuring high-quality blends that range from classic black and green teas to more delicate herbal options. Each tea is aromatic, well-balanced, and served with care, allowing guests to truly savor the experience. The sweet pastries are a standout. Beautifully presented and expertly crafted, they deliver flavor and texture without being overly sweet -- a balance that elevates the entire tea service.

    People recently wondered why Boston got nearly entirely shut out by the Michelin people (only 1…read moreone-star was given); among the places that were said to be in the running was Amar, located in a lovely space in the Raffles Hotel. We have been there twice, and I now will put my brief review. The take-home: if Boston, Raffles, and Amar think they deserve a star, they really need to up their game. I will get one thing out of the way very quickly: the food is spectacular and the wine service was excellent; these are not the reason for my comment. The simple truth folks is that a dining experience is not JUST about the food. It's about ambiance--which includes service and atmosphere, and that is where Amar just falls apart. It would be wrong to not recognize that the individual servers were quite nice and attentive. We had an 830 pm seating--hardly late in most cities, though one might suggest that in Boston that is on the later side (it really isn't folks). Regardless, by 1030-11 pm, the dining room was nearly empty on a Saturday night. At that moment, a server came over to us to alert us the kitchen was closing--which was obviously them saying "get out"--but soon thereafter the smell of cleaning fluid filled the air, and we realized there was a person cleaning the tables--with a cleaning cart, complete with mops, brooms, and cleaning fluid in the middle of the dining room. While people were seated and eating. This is a restaurant with a pricey menu and wine list, and I cannot remember a time when dining in a fine restaurant when something like this EVER happened. We found it funny at first, but while trying to eat our dessert and drink our final cocktails the smell of ammonia really ruined the final experience. In the end, once served with the bill, it was not funny. The bill was around $1000 for 4 people including a nice bottle of wine. So: expensive, nice individual service, good food. But the lack of awareness about how diners paying for an expensive meal feel being rushed, and then the utterly ludicrous presence of a cleaning cart in the middle of the dining room while people were still eating (I posted a photo) makes Amar a laughable memory but nowhere I'd go back to.
