Excellent all around: staff, ambiance, food, and upfront pricing. This restaurant does not engage in the unethical practice of adding a fee/surcharge to the bill. read more

Whether you know what Greek food is or not, you need to try Krasi. I had never had Greek food but our meal here was our most impressive of our entire trip. Our waiter was so friendly and explained everything on the menu. We're vegetarian and we ordered, the Tiropita Roll (roll stuffed with Halloumi), Ladotyri cheese board, kolokothias (fried squash blossom), and Boureki (summer squash, potato, and caramelized onion). There's no way I could pick my favorite. They were all so flavorful and paired well with each other. Highly recommend making reservations, if you can't get one, show up right when they open to get a table. You don't regret it! read more

We stopped here for brunch on a Sunday at 10:30 and the place was already filled up. We didn't have reservations but only waited about 15 minutes to be seated. The restaurant is cozy and festive with all of the holiday decorations, lots of Britney Spears and lots of Santa hats. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and attentive. It is tapas style and recommended to have 1-2 tapas per person. For our party of 4, we ended up ordering 6 tapas and had leftovers to take home. Each dish was wonderfully presented and didn't disappoint. We did end up getting the lamb and I was surprised how tender and delicious it was. I'm not usually a fan of lamb since it needs to be prepared a certain way, but they did a great job. I tried the Bellini which was quite good and I ended up ordering another. Not too sweet. I'd caution against eating the apricot, it tastes like it is infused with some type of liquor. My friend got the Bloody Mary which isn't a traditional Bloody Mary and ended up being more on the sweet side. Overall, a great experience. Would return again soon! read more

Good food and service. The variety of food is both full and interesting. The drink menu is interesting. Lots of exotic selections. read more

Edit: per the restaurants response, I'm laughing that it is the most "authentic"... Don't be fooled Overrated. I was in Greece less than a year ago, I was very excited to be transported back, but Krasi fell short in more ways than one. 1. The layout of the restaurant seating does not provide enough room to those in the walk way. There is a lot of in/out during busy times. 2. If you're dining in the colder months, you'll need to be seated far away from the door to stay warm 3. Food was okay, - Peinirli had an overwhelming smokey flavor that will blow out your taste buds. - Spanakopita was good, more of the very small side salad should be provided for an acid balance - Dips and bread did not feel authentic, lacking spice and fresh flavor 4. Service was fine, but did not refill or warm up on coffee. Note, no cream only milk. 5. Out of the Bougatsa by 11:30am makes me question if they even have them (they open at 10am). I really wish I had better words to write because I wanted to love this place. read more

The atmosphere of this place is so cute. Very good for weekend brunch. The coffee was good, nothing special. You must get the tsoureki. It was almost like a breakfast apple pie with this delicious granola and a very mild chocolate sauce. Incredible. 2nd favorite dish was the avga me patates. We got without goat cheese but it was really good. The bougatsa was good but nothing special. The pancakes had an interesting filling I wasn't a fan of personally. It was a crumbly whey like texture. Service was excellent! Food came super fast. read more

I cannot recommend Krasi enough. It is probably the best restaurant in Boston that I've been to. Everything from the ambiance to the food is so tastefully done, with impeccable service (thanks James!). Kudos for having many vegetarian and vegan options. I would list out my favorites but every single item we tried was fabulous, you can't go wrong! I especially loved how the tzatziki came out and you "make it yourself"- it was a playful touch. read more

I went to Krasi on a Friday around 5 PM to secure a table. My party of 2 was seated at the bar since it was already starting to get busy at 5pm! The décor of the restaurant is beautiful and the half of the bar seats look directly at the chefs preparing the meals. For food we ordered the following: Tiropita Rolls- The rolls were soft and came with a delicious dip with olives on top. I do wish the rolls were warm though. Htipiti - Whipped feta dip with chicken skins. This was ok, not a standout dish. The chicken skins were oily and there weren't enough to use up all the dip. Wish we got the tableside tzatziki instead. Lavraki - The sea bass crudo was fresh and the texture of the fish was so smooth. However, there were a lot of toppings that overpowered the fish. Soulva - The rotisserie of the night was lamb. I usually don't eat lamb but this was delicious! Tender and juicy. Overall this was a nice dinner experience and the servers were very friendly. I would like to go back to try more dishes. There are a lot of similar restaurants popping up in Boston though so they have some competition! read more

Krasi was an absolute delight! I did think the meal overall was pretty expensive, but if you're going to treat yourself do it right and come here. It's a shareable small plate vibe so come with friends or go on your own, can't go wrong! Their Htipiti dip and Midia are both must-haves! The Htipiti comes with these delicate crisp chicken skins that you basically use as chips. Perfect combo! You only get three so be sure to make the most of it. They do charge for extra chicken crisps so beware of that when they make the offer (didn't know this until we saw the check). I would encourage everyone to get some bread to start so that you can also spread the dip from the Htipiti on that as well. You will most likely have extra dip. Now when it comes to the Midia (instantly salivates)...it literally melts in your mouth! As soon as I took the first bite I knew I ate what is my favorite dish at this restaurant. It has a sort of tempura look and flavor. Comes with 5 mussels so I recommend everyone at the table get their own so you don't have to share with anyone at your table hehehe! FYI- If you come with a big group (5-7) consider ordering the Feast of the Gods! This includes everything on the menu except for the cheese and charcuterie boards. Great way to try everything if your group is interested. read more

Loved the food, service, and ambiance. We sat at the bar and had a front row seat to the chefs preparing the dishes. All of the food looked so good that we had a hard time choosing what to eat. Luckily the server had good advice on food (and Greek wine). Will return when next in Boston. read more

Krasi serves delicious small plates and an unique selection of Greek wines! The portions are on the bigger end for small plates, so I'd recommend going with at least 3-4 people to be able to order some more dishes across the menu! Of our meal, I enjoyed the "Little Shoes" eggplant and the Lamb osso bucco which had an amazingly fragrant orzo paired with it. read more

After lots of long waits during the first part of our Northeast trip in Portland, it was a welcome change to be promptly seated (even at the bar) at Krasi upon arriving back in Boston. Jimmy was extremely warm and charming behind the bar, providing excellent, in depth insights into the food options and pairing recommendations. He didn't hesitate to entertain some small talk and give us out of towners recommendations for food and nightlife even during a busy night. The dishes were incredible. I'm not adding pictures because my camera let me down during this particular outing, but I tried the Akrokolion which was like a lamb prosciutto spread, and paired it with the delicious Graviera sheep cheese. I generally have a big appetite but I figured portions would be small as is common with fancier restaurants I've been to of this type. I underestimated how filling this board would be. I already had ordered the patsitsada, a braised beef cheek dish that came with a rich pasta. I wish I had saved this for another night only because the portion was very generous and the dish was very filling. The price was on the higher side but it's certainly a worthwhile dinner spot if you are looking for something a bit fancy, Greek, and different. read more

OMG, great accidental find!!! Food and service were excellent. We ordered the tiropita rolls, the whipped feta, rotisserie lamb and wild mushroom salad. The cost was way less than expected. Was expecting a $140 bill but it was $60!!!! Definitely found a gem and we walked in as well I thought we were going to a hole in the wall type mom-pop bc it was $$, but it was a happening place for sure! AND was $$! read more

Absolutely wonderful. Krasi is a well oiled machine run by knowledgeable servers and talented chefs. Fit with majority of small, shareable dishes, this place was perfect for a birthday dinner with friends. We split a bottle of delicious and reasonably priced wine. And ordered about 10 small plates to share amongst the group. Everything that came out was absolutely delicious. If you're with a bigger group, they offer a deal where you can get everything on the menu for under $400. Aside from the food, the restaurant is clean, inviting, and stunning. I would come back any day. read more

We ordered takeout from this place and boy did they deliver! The food was amazing. We ordered the lamb osso buco, the hazelnut, butternut squash, dumplings, and a trigona for dessert. The lamb was so tender, it just fell off the bone. The dumplings were really interesting and flavorful. I can't wait to try this restaurant in person. read more

I had a wonderful dining experience between the well crafted wine menu and the shareable greek cuisine (make your own tableside tzatziki) Our waiter was exceptional, he had great suggestions for food options! Definitely 10/10! Highly recommend the octopus, chicken fricassee, htipiti dip, tableside tzatziki, skioufikta, salata, and freshly baked tiropita roll! I didn't get to take pictures of each dish because I was too busy eating, it was delicious! Highly recommend. read more

F.I.N.A.L.L.Y GREEK FOOD & WINE get the focus they deserve!!! BRAVO!!! Impeccable experience from start to finish. From the 5 star service, to the modern and industrial chic decor, to the showstopping charcuterie, elevated Greek meze, and expansive 100% GREEK wine list...there are no shortage of reasons to return to this back Bay gem! I credit this restaurant directly for bringing much needed attention the Greek culinary and wine scene! The orange wine from Ioannina was a delicious surprise, the tsipoura was spectacular on the plate and on the palate...the charcuterie dazzled, and the desserts impressed!!

Vibe is great but food was very underwhelming. I honestly didn't enjoy any dish and waited a month for the reservation. I really tried my best to enjoy the fish but majority of all the flavor didn't really work together. Bread and lemon sponge cake was really good though! Best I've had. Was hyped but disappointed. read more

This place has a wonderful cozy atmosphere, good service, interesting food, and great wines. I especially liked that they had retsina and a variety of spirits. We probably had ten different dishes and enjoyed almost all of them. I liked the meat dishes especially from the rotisserie. The space is small so seating is tight, noise level is high, and social distancing isnt happening. But I am a fan and look forward to going again. read more

This is one of those places you think about not reviewing so no one else can find it but...obviously people will find it, and honestly they deserve all the stars. Came in for a late night snack and wine date and were happy with all of our choices. Our waiter (I'm sorry I forgot your name!) Had wonderful recommendations for folks new to Greek wines and the orange and red we had were spot on to the preferences we had mentioned. Topped things off with some bread (you could come for just the bread...) and octopus, and know we'll be back soon to try other parts of the menu. Ambiance was beautiful, we were neatly spaced out from others at the bar, and getting to watch the kitchen do their magic was just the cherry on top. If you catch them on a good weather night, their outdoor setup is real cute too. read more

So Krasi is the best restaurant in Boston for Greek and Mediterranean food. I'd end my review there but I will highlight why Krasi needs to be the next restaurant you visit. Krasi doesn't just pass the vibe check, it is the vibe. It's an intimate location tucked between Boylston and Newbury. The place is buzzing and always has groups of people waiting outside in hopes of snagging a last minute cancelled reservation. I once made a 10pm reservation because I simply couldn't end my night without eating here. The wine and drink list is A+. I highly recommend the orange wine. I'm not much of a wine drinker but the orange wine on their menu is light and refreshing. When you're ready to order, there is nothing you could get that wouldn't be good. Seriously every single item on the menu is fantastic. However you must get the Htipiti, the table side tzatziki, the patates (omfg my mouth is watering), daily pita, Skioufikta, and daily souvla. Oh and I just made a reservation for this weekend. The service is also top notch. The staff is knowledgeable and very good with recommendations for food and drink pairings. I really can't say enough good things about Krasi. If people ask me where they should eat when visiting or locals wanting to try something new, Krasi is the first restaurant I recommend. Thank you for existing read more

I've been here twice: once on my own and once with my husband. I absolutely love sitting at the bar, which overlooks the grill/cook area. It's dinner & a show. The food is amazing but what makes things extra special is the amazing friendly staff. They make you feel so welcome and special. We tried a bunch of the dishes and all were amazing but my favourites are: the TZATZIKI dip, PAPOUTSAKIA "LITTLE SHOES"  eggplant, TSIPOURA  grilled sea bream, and the lamb Osso buco. This is the kind of place I could become a regular! read more

Beautiful, friendly and super hot spot. We dined at the bar and could not have been more graciously trreated. The food unfortunately was mostly a chip dip small plated. The deconstructed taromasolata was terrible. If you can imagine ordered pimento cheese and getting a block of cheese with peppers poured overtop, you get the idea. All Greek wine list no AF options. read more

Krasi has one of the most beautiful interiors out of all the restaurants I have been to. Honestly, I didn't really understand their menu dish names, but just show your server pictures and it'll be all good. Each dish was gorgeous and also tasted great. My favorite was the french toast, and we also ordered the omelet and smoked salmon plate which was both really good. The prices aren't too bad, especially for Back Bay. Two of us were full after 3 plates (they are meant to be shared) which totaled to about $65 after tip. Expect a wait even at uncommon hours, but the staff is very nice and accomodating about seating. We didn't have a reservation for Saturday at 1 PM but were given two bar seats! read more

Absolutely love this place! I came for brunch with some of my friends and we were seated in the front by the windows. Really beautiful restaurant, from the decor to the furniture and plates, it had a really classic city-restaurant vibes. Everything is to share so between the 3 of us, we ordered 4 main dishes and it was perfect. We had the trahana, the dips, the strapatsada, and the avga me patates. We also ordered one baklava muffin just to try! Honestly everything was SO good!!! Both savory plates (strapatsada and avga) were delicious and I'd highly recommend trying both! I can't pick just one! The dips were a nice side, and they offered you more bread if you ran out. The baklava muffin was so yummy, I probably could have ordered my own! It was sweet but a nice extra little side to accompany everything else. My least favorite was the trahana. Nothing wrong with it, it just wasn't my cup of tea. It reminded me of an acai bowl in a way with all the things inside of it. Probably wouldn't get this one again. I also ordered the Aphrodite's Bellini for a cocktail. Perfect, sweet, brunch drink if you want something other than a classic mimosa! Overall my experience here was 10/10. From the food to the service to the atmosphere, I get why people love this place so much. I will most definitely be back for brunch again and to try their dinner menu!! read more

7/10: Boston is home to some great Mediterranean restaurants like Sarma/Oleana. Krasi is a newer addition. But it stacks up well. This could be a James Beard contender in the future. Gorgeous marble-topped interior with Greek accents like terra cotta and gold. Caters equally well to intimate dates and professionals. This is from the same team that runs Committee. They know how to curate great vibes. The pork butt and lamb were incredibly tender. The texture seemed sous vide (it's just slow roasted). And the dips came with creative touches like fried chicken skin. read more

Honestly, the food here is average at best and IMO it's overrated and too expensive for what it is. But the reason for the 1 star? This place does fine in terms of business and they aren't hurting for money. For an establishment off Newbury street, this place sure does skimp on customer comfort. We were seated outside along with the other half of the restaurant with weather in the low 50s with a strong breeze and they don't even have heat lamps out here. I'm shivering my ass off as I write this and can't even seem to get a waiters attention to put our food in. Not rushing back here anytime soon, but def avoid at all costs in the cooler months if they do not have indoor seating available. EDIT: Just had a massive Rat run into my leg. I guess this isn't their fault as we're eating outside, but this is the first time in my life this has happened, even after living in NY 10 years read more

Talk about friendly service! I came here with my family after my graduation and had a BLAST! We enjoyed our meals, complimented by a friendly staff and a beautiful, opulent ambiance. I do wish that they had more vegan options, but besides that, everything was great. read more

I stumbled on this place upon my Yelp searches and had been wanting to try it for some time. We decided to go with another couple and made a reservation- which is a must! Even with our reservation, we still needed to wait for about 20 minutes before we were able to be seated. This was ok as our friends were running a little behind. The place was absolutely packed, and rightfully so. We were seated and our waiter gave us the low down of the menu. He was extremely friendly and helpful. A friend of mine had recommended the orange wine that they serve there so that was immediately what we asked for. They have 3 types of orange wine so we were unsure of which one to get. The waiter was very helpful and pointed us to their most popular orange wine- Vlahiko/DEBINA. It's a semi-sparkling wine with almost a beer after taste. Definitely unique. As Krasi is a a tapas bar essentially, we were told that for 4 people we should order anywhere from 8-10 dishes. We opted in for the following: -Lanlangia: their freshly baked fried dough. Very tasty and definitely worth trying! (8.6/10) -Graviera: a hard nutty sheep milk cheese. Comes with bread too! (8.2/10) -Tzatziki: this was a fun one! We actually were able to make the dip in front of us. The waiter brought out all of the ingredients with some directions of how and what to add to make it just right. We were also able to take the directions home so we could make the dip there as well! The dip also comes with a basket of bread so no need to order extra. (8.7/10) -Salata: this was a super flavorful salad. I'm not much of a salad gal but I would 100% order this again. Super refreshing and tasty. (8.9/10) -Patates: exactly what it sounds like. They are essentially like home fries with a very faint lemon flavor. (7.8/10) -Papoutsakia "Little Shoes": very good! Especially if you like eggplant and cheese and mushrooms! Worth the try! (8.5/10) -Makaronada: tasty lobster dish! (8.5/10) -Skioufikta: was not a fan of this. Was VERY Smokey in flavor. However, the others seemed to like it! (7.2/10) -Giovetsi: I thought this was decent, but everything else we ordered seemed to be better than this (7.8/10) We definitely ordered the right amount. I started to fill up quickly as they bring out the plates as it is ready to be served. The boys left still feeling hungry though. I would definitely go back! The ambiance is great, and it's a fun dining experience with great food! Highly recommend! read more
