You must order the kale salad. I am not a kale salad person, yet I have dined here three times in the last week to eat the kale salad and am already planning my next visit. 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? That's how I feel about this salad. There are other delicious items on the menu, I saw someone eating the burger that looked so good, I also want to try the Brussels but the call of the salad siren is too strong. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly, especially Catherine, and the kitchen team even shared the dressing recipe with me. Excellent wine list, casual and cozy space with twinkle lights, a lot of bar/counter seating, great date spot. Also attached/sister company to American Provisions I believe (great spot in Southie for sandwiches, cheeses, wines, pastries, rare food items). read more

Really excellent restaurant with a fun, eclectic menu and good range of beer and wine offerings. All the dishes were really well executed and tasty, though the menu does skew a little on the heavier/fried side. The whitefish Milanese was probably my favorite though they are also famous for their burger. Our server was attentive and courses were perfectly paced. I would highly recommend! read more

This is one of those spots that I want to keep on the down low because I don't want it to become too popular...but I have to give Gray's Hall their flowers. I absolutely ADORE this place. It's one of my top 3 places in all of Boston. The vibes, the food, the wine, the prices, EVERYTHING is 10/10. This is one of those places where I feel at peace because I feel like my money was 100% well-spent. The prices are fair, and I don't feel like I'm being taken advantage of. And the FOOD, the food is exquisite. My favorite time to go is on Tuesdays for the $1 oyster deal, definitely my favorite $1 oyster deal in the city. They mostly have small plates and a few large plates, but you seriously can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And the wine options, amazinggggggg. Gray's is a true gem! read more

What an amazing place! One of our go to spots when in Boston. Have tried many of their small plates and they are all outstanding. The wine selection is large and the staff was so accommodating in letting us try a taste before deciding. A ton of good options for everyone by the glass and by the bottle. read more

Best burger in town! If you go on Tuesday's you can have $1 oysters. You will have an amazing view of south Boston

The food is awesome! Especially the burgers!! I never liked kale till I had their kale salad!! Delicious!! Great staff!! Great chef!! Great atmosphere!! (Gabe try adding the burger pickles to the kale salad it's very refreshing and compliments the kale) read more

Grays Hall is an absolute gem! The Kale Caesar is a staple in our house and the smash burgers are an absolute must. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a date night or a fun catch-up with the gals. read more

By far the best wine bar in Boston! As a wine lover and someone who is in the industry I appreciate what Gray's Hall had to offer: small bites, all natural wines (which you don't see much around town), lively atmosphere, excellent staff who truly cares about your dining experience. This is one for the books and in my top 5 places to visit while in Boston. Or, if you are a local definitely come check this place out for sure. Matt, one of the owners is extremely friendly and hospitable. They opened in December 2019 (right before the pandemic) and also own American Provisions next door, which I have not checked out yet, but will be soon. Some of the wines they pour at Gray's can be found here. I can't wait to return with some of my wine gals! Cheers and happy sipping! read more

We walked in to Gray's Hall and met the person at the door. He told us it may be 20 minutes. He came to get us after just 5 minutes but the seats were at the bar but stools did not have backs so we declined. He said give me a minute. He rearranged the table settings and got my friend and I a table for 2. Then our server came over and gave an overview of the place. We asked about the chilled red wine. He brought us 2 tastings. We loved. Proceeded to order 2 burgers, fries and grilled carrots. The food was amazing. Given the most welcoming greeting and service, coupled with delicious food, I could not recommend this place any more. Truly a gem in Southie! read more

I love their wine list and that they do dollar oysters on Tuesdays. The Buratta is also quite good! read more

Very attractive, pleasant atmosphere. Almost empty at 4:30 on a Sunday. Very pleasant servers. Carrots and fries delicious but we came for the burger and honestly we were underwhelmed. Very small patty, tasty sauce but burger did have much flavor. Was expecting more due to all the rave reviews. Definitely would return if in the area but would not go out of my way. Burger would have gotten 3 stars but carrots and fries brought the rating higher. read more

Still thinking about the fried fish from here....not only does this natural wine bar have tasty wine, but their food!!!! I had my first orange wine here and LOVED it. I know it's a common gesture but it was nice to try some of it before receiving the full glass. I thought it was a great drink to have with the food we had like their tuna tartare, arancini, and the fried fish. The fried fish was perfect. I went to another natural wine bar recently and didn't love it as much as I loved Gray's. It's cute and cozy inside with the warm tones- I love the vibes inside. It's not the biggest space but there's also seats outside if anything. The bar is a beaut!! I made a rez but walk ins are def doable. It's super casual, so if you're ever in a little wine drinky mood, stopping by here is the answer. I will be back!! read more

This place is amazing! The food here is superb. We ordered the aracini, Brussel sprouts, burrata, shrimp (forgot the name), and a burger. I think out of everything, the burger was meh (still pretty tasty, but just everything else we ordered was 100x better). The wine selection was great and our server was super helpful in narrowing down our choices. The service was amazing, the food and drinks were delicious, and the space was small but cozy! I would hands down come back here again and I personally think it's a great spot for a casual date night or catching up with a friend. read more

The best. I recommend sitting at the bar and exploring the interesting wines. Staff is tremendous and cannot go wrong with food. $1 oysters on Tuesday. Chef is an awesome dude. read more

This is such a great wine bar if your looking for delicious food and natural wine. I came her on a Wednesday to visit friends and had such a great time on the p. The service was exceptional and she took her time to explain the wine and let us try to make sure we liked what we were getting. For food we got the gray's board and the brussel sprout. The soft cheese on the board was sooo good and it comes with fresh toasted bread which is delicious. The brussel sprouts were my favorite though, they were so creamy and I will for sure get them again. read more

Grays hall is awesome. Great date night spot. Amazing food, great wine, and a ton to choose from.

Amazingly good food and great wines! Gray's Hall is a great spot for a date with a great ambiance and intimate setting. The food was easily shareable tapas style - order the Kale Caesar, it's amazing! The tuna crudo was another highlight dish packed with flavors. The mussels were also to die for, delicious! Gray's had a great wine selection, offering all types and also beers! read more

Okay, a preface that I am not typically a "burger and fries" kinda gal, but you need to pay attention here. A few weeks ago, I had my first and probably LONG overdue experience with Gray's Hall, since I've lived in Southie for over two years now. I was craving a burger, and decided to give them a shot. I figured why not get a double patty while I'm at it. Please believe me when I say this is a massive compliment... Not only coming from a restaurant industry veteran (steakhouses, 3 Michelin, wineries) who is well versed in serious chow, but a former fat kid childhood eating McDonald's several times a week... So here's what I consider a ridiculous compliment and my immediate reaction upon getting this burger home and diving in, I texted my boyfriend: "We have been sleeping on that place Gray's Hall!! OMG it was incredible. It's like... if you took a McDonald's burger and made it with great ingredients and made it really f***ing good... and with a spin on secret sauce. WOW." I first got the burger to go a couple of times, in all it's messy glory of cheese sticking to the paper you get to scrape off and eat... total childhood throwback... But a week or two ago, we finally took a walk and dined in. Holy crap. GET THE CARROTS. The fries were legit the best fries I've ever had. The burger, of course, doesn't disappoint. Service is stellar, and they know how to do hospitality right. Well done, team! We both left absolutely blown away, which is an extreme rarity for us, both being in the industry for so long. The vibe is really cool. It's kind of deceiving when empty, and you think "this is it?", but go for actual dinner and this small place turns into a symphony of life, with a disco ball to top it all off! Amazing. Yesterday, I picked up a couple burgers to go, and as I was handed the bag they said "Thanks for being a super star!" It made what was a pretty stressful day into a great evening. In a matter of two and a half weeks I feel like I've become a regular. I've never had such a fantastic overall experience in the Boston area, and the food is absolutely the star of the show. read more

Such a cute and quant date night or girls night spot. So many yummy food options and great to share with a group. Love all the wine options. Great atmosphere! read more

I had dinner at Gray's Hall with a group of friends recently to celebrate a birthday. Overall we had a delicious meal and a great experience. First of all I need to applaud the wine selection. There are so few restaurants and bars in Boston that actually have a robust and diverse wine list with a good variety of options by the glass, by the full bottle, at different price points, and from all over the world (not just California wines). I had the Negroamaro which was fantastic and my other most wine oriented friend loved her Grenache. I was especially pleased to see that they have orange wines on the menu. I'll have to come back to enjoy those in the warmer months. It's a small plates restaurant where you're intended to share everything with the group. Favorites were the butternut squash arancini, burrata eggplant, brussels sprouts, tuna crudo, and hanger steak. There wasn't any food we didn't enjoy, but the cheese/charcuterie board, pretzel baguette, potatoes, and carrots are the items I was least wowed by and would consider skipping on a future visit in favor of trying more of the menu. We had one picky eater in our group who got the smashed burger and loved it. One slightly off note was kind of weird/inconsistent service. I felt like our server stopped by the table super frequently for a while, then not at all for a long while, so it was a bit all over the place. It also took a long time to pay. Eventually I just brought my credit card to the bar cause no one came to bring us a bill. Overall it was a great dinner and I look forward to returning! read more

Overall great restaurant, liked all the food we got, nothing was bad. Wine was tasty too! Service was good. Housemade Pretzel Baguette: loved Tuna Tartare: a little too citrusy, probably my least favorite we got Duxbury Oyster Chowder: very tasty, a little too liquidy, not thick enough Brussels Sprouts Salad: phenomenal Gray's Board: delicious meats and cheeses, could use a little more crackers/bread Crispy Yukon Potatoes: delicious, home fry type potatoes Fried Chicken Sandwich: juicy, fresh, delicious read more

What a gem. We don't typically venture to Southie for dinner - especially the east side - but we're so glad we did. Here's the highlights: Staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and attentive. Wines by the glass were plentiful and perfect. Food was incredible. Patio seating was lovely. As for food, we ordered: Burrata salad Salmon tartare Green curry mussels Burger Charcuterie Slightly too much food for two people but everything is incredible. The mussels are to die for and not to be missed. The burrata was unreal. Salmon tartare on crispy sushi rice was delicious. Burger was simple but perfect. And the charcuterie was great (the French double creme was a highlight) I can't recommend Grays Hall enough...definitely worth the trip. read more

A wonderful and stunning presentation at Gray's Hall!! The wine selection is perfect and so extensive. The tuna was delicious. The crackers it comes with are so complementary. The burrata salad pairs so well with the fresh, sweet peaches and the salty cheese. The potatoes were a huge helping! The aioli on the side was to die for! And lastly, the charcuterie was one of the best I've ever had! The pickled vegetables paired with the cheeses was an amazing balance. read more

Always a fantastic time here. Love sitting outside in the summertime. They've got the best orange wine I've ever tried!

Our first time to this restaurant. One of a kind find. Friendly greeting. Unique menu. Outdoor seating. Great service. Fun food and atmosphere. Not rushed. Will definitely go back. read more

So glad Grays came to Southie-the staff is so knowledgeable, the wine selection is amazing, and no need to go elsewhere for dinner because they have that too! Somewhat limited selection but it's a wine bar, and the food you select is awesome. Been many times and will be back many more! read more

Gray's Hall gets points in my book for being so new and knocking it out of the park so early on. I came here with 2 friends on a Friday night and waited about an hour to be seated. But our waiting experience was fantastic. They have plenty of space to hang out, drink and order apps while you wait. Then we were seated at the bar for dinner. We ordered the board, eggplant, feta, smoked salmon pate, winter citrus dessert and all were amazing!!!! The wine recommendations were spot on and the vibe here is chill but trendy. We stayed for almost 3 hoUrs and didn't want to leave. Can't wait to come back! read more

Was so excited to visit after hearing about the opening a couple months ago and boy they did not disappoint! Really amazing ambiance, delicious food and wine, and exceptional service. Will definitely be one of our go to restaurants in our neighborhood. After struggling to find parking (classic Southie) we were greeted warmly by the host and our waitress, quickly offering up the wine list. They only have a couple wines available by the glass, but all of the wines are very unique and delicious! Gray's Hall is tapas style, with a couple of starters and entrees that are meant to be shared. Our server recommended a couple different items to us, starting with a luxurious meat and cheese board that comes with grilled bread. We also ordered the crispy yukon potatoes, burrata, fried sardines, winter salad, and rock shrimp. Every single thing we had was delicious and portioned perfectly to not get overly stuffed. We even had a little room for a lip puckering but scrumptious key lime tart at the end. The best part about the meal was that we never once felt rushed, reminding me of a very European style dinner where that is your entertainment for the evening and they really want to enjoy yourself and take your time. I'll definitely be going back to Gray's Hall again sometime soon. read more

This has become our favorite neighborhood spot, and for good reason. Their service is awesome, the ambiance is wonderful and the food is thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Natural wines and a modest selection of beers round out a perfect seasonally rotated menu. The burger is unmissable. read more

This place was actually kinda good, but I'm on a run of going to great places and giving 5 stars most of the time, so I'm getting meaner! Both red wines we tried were great, the white and the vermouth not so much. Unlike other places we've been to recently, you get the glass of wine straight away rather than a tiny taster to see if you like it. The fried potatoes and fried fish were the best things we had. Olive oil cake at the end the worst. Overall, ok. read more

This new spot in Southie is sure to become a neighborhood favorite! It's a pretty small place with a mix of tables, bar seats, and counter seats. We came here for a late dinner, and although we were a little early for our reservation they were able to seat us pretty quickly. We loved everything we ordered. They have an interesting wine list and also offer some non-wine (beer). All of the plates are made for sharing. My partner and I ordered the burrata with mushrooms, rock shrimp with sunchokes, and steak frites. The burrata was delicious of course, and I could have eaten a whole plate of the marinated mushrooms that came with it. The rock shrimp dish was really tasty, and I would have drank the sauce/oil that came with it. The steak and frites were perfectly cooked. We also shared a bottle of Piedmont red wine that was bright and juicy. They had a small dessert menu as well but we were satisfied to just drink our wine to finish the meal. We also really enjoyed people watching from the counter seats in the window. We will definitely be back here! read more

Great spot for drinks and good food! Extremely friendly staff, great selection of wine, and great dishes to try. Highly recommend the fried clams!
