A very popular, long-established Greek restaurant in Boston. Last time I walked in and was told…read morethere would be a two-hour wait, but this time I made a reservation and finally got to enjoy a delicious meal! Tiropita Rolls: Very straightforwardly delicious. The bread was warm, soft, and airy, with a rich aroma of butter and cheese; the spread was a rich blend of honey butter, and olives, sweet and delicious, perfect as an appetizer. Tzatziki: A slight disappointment. The cucumber and Greek yogurt spread was surprisingly heavy, a bit cloying, and the pickled kumquats weren't as sweet as I expected, but rather had a slightly bitter taste. The pita bread was thick and soft, probably better suited for dipping in soup--like Bourdeto--than for the spread. Bourdeto: The tomato fish soup was a pleasant surprise. The freshly caught grouper of the day was thick and tender, lightly seared to create a crispy crust. The broth was a vibrant, tangy tomato base, with onions, fennels, and red peppers contributing a sweet, layered flavor. Trahanas, fermented wheat and dairy, added richness and a smooth texture to the soup. The broth also had a slight spiciness, making it incredibly comforting on a chilly autumn day. Portokalopita: The dessert that elevated the entire meal. A traditional Greek orange phyllo, the cake, made from crumbs of phyllo pastry, becomes incredibly soft and moist after being soaked in orange syrup. Every bite was bursting with rich orange sweetness and fragrance, followed by a slightly bitter orange zest--perfectly balanced. Paired with Manouri cheese ice cream, the creamy flavor was incredibly rich and creamy, creating a harmonious and layered flavor profile.

Absolutely stunning view of Boston on the 17th floor of Raffles hotel. High end decor and artful and elegant setting. Service: Professional, attentive, knowledgeable and easy to find. Tea was warmed. Opinions and pairs offered when asked. Food: lovely tower. Filling -- neither scant nor heavy serving sizes. Sweets were a standout, especially the chocolate kouignette. The savory was very good. Nice dab of caviar on the cucumber sandwich. Drink: we had the mango and greens spritz to start off. So fleshing and subtly complex. I had the grand jasmine tea, and it was a wonderful bouquet on the nose. Price: This will set you back a bit more than some but done better than the same priced or close to it when considering service and ambience. Valet parking is $40. Garage next door is $25. Though if you're paying this price and having this experience, the extra $15 might not matter. I'll be back for special occasions.

A Disappointing End to What Should Have Been a Lovely Evening…read more Three of us visited Haley Henry Wine Bar in Boston this evening, looking forward to a relaxing night of wonderful wine, delicious small plates, and good company. We arrived promptly at 7:00 PM for our reservation and thoroughly enjoyed ordering several expensive bottles of wine and a generous selection of appetizers. We certainly weren't holding back on our spending and were happy to indulge in what we expected to be a memorable evening. Unfortunately, the evening ended on a very disappointing note. At 9:00 PM, while we were still enjoying our wine, we were informed that we needed to leave because another reservation was scheduled for our seats. I completely understand that restaurants need to manage reservations and accommodate other guests. However, when three patrons are spending hundreds of dollars on wine and food, being asked to leave before they've even finished their drinks feels incredibly unwelcoming. If there was a strict two-hour seating limit, that expectation should have been clearly communicated when we made our reservation or when we arrived. What started as a lovely evening ended with us feeling rushed, unappreciated, and frankly, disappointed. Fine wine deserves to be savored, not hurried. Unfortunately, the hospitality did not live up to the experience or the price tag.

So, I decided to treat myself to a solo lunch. I began with the mixto ceviche, which was a refreshing and vibrant dish. The fish was exceptionally flavorful and perfectly complemented the onion and peppers. The shrimp was fresh, full of flavor, while the octopus was a bit tough, still enjoyable. The sauce was a tad heavy and thick for my taste, and the portion size was a bit small considering the price. On the bright side, the chips were light and incredibly tasty. I also ordered the Costillas de Cerdo. The sauce was excellent, and a few bites were oh so good. The disappointment came in the ribs themselves -- the meat didn't come off the bone easily, which made working through the dish more effort than it should have been. This place truly impressed me with its exceptional service, especially considering my allergies. My server proactively approached the kitchen and communicated directly with them, demonstrating remarkable attentiveness and care. Their prompt response and willingness to accommodate my needs without any hassle made a significant difference. The friendly and accommodating nature of the server throughout the entire dining experience made it feel effortless to enjoy a solo meal. Three stars for now -- great flavors and genuinely caring service, with a few misses on execution and portion for the price.

I'd always know of this place as Metropolis Cafe. Are they dropping "Cafe" for a sense of…read moreelevation? Works for me. I suppose given its smallish size, you could consider it a cafe... small in size, smallish in menu, big in variety, flavor, service. Evidently being near several theaters, if you arrive for dinner late afternoon, you may be asked if you have any time dependencies. This is a nice touch, I wish more restaurants did this. It works, no one around us seemed rushed to get through their dinners. Cocktails are limited but delicious. The menu is somewhat small as well. Instead, I went with an evening special, lamb chops and sauteed spinach on a bed of pureed parsnip. We also asked for an appetizer of their brussels sprouts to be served as a side. The waitress said sure, but the sprouts still came out quite a bit before our meals. We said we'd be good and have only one each and save the rest for dinner. FAIL! Crisped just right, served with celery salad, and a properly spicy sauce, I think we finished them in less than 3 minutes. The dinners were equally satisfying. We passed on dessert foods and drinks, but if we had had room, there were lots of tempting items. Because of the restaurant's size, reservations are not a bad idea at busier times. Few tables were ever empty, and as we left, a short wait list was beginning.

I've never had a scampi be so flavorful! I love that there was a hint of lemon. I add the breaded chicken cutlet to my pasta and it was a great choice. We had dinner positions and it was enough for leftover, which might I add heat up very well due to the high quality of the food.

This may have been…read morethe particular dishes I chose , but unfortunately, the food was just okay I ordered the shrimp scampi and Brussels sprouts. The sprouts had too much balsamic reduction on it which was cloying, and the garlic aioli didn't have a distinctive taste. Together it was too much sauce and the sprouts were generally overcooked, the mushy texture that makes people dislike them. The shrimp was cooked perfectly but the seasoning was on the bland side and too little sauce. It did have a nice brightness on the lemon and butter. The pasta had good texture (freshly made), but not enough flavor. The place was quite busy on a Monday night, but I don't think I'll return.
