Food was amazing, no notes. Eggs cooked perfectly. Highly recommend the wagyu burger - best burger I've had in a long time. Ambiance was great - on a nice day, the patio doors were open, and the seating is really nice where you don't feel squished against other tables. Being on Newbury makes for a nice day to walk in the city before/after eating. Service was great, nothing to complain about! Would come back here to eat again. read more

The four of us felt very disappointed when we dined last evening. We had all dined there before and had been pleased. Some of us have been multiple times. The ambiance is very nice and it is in a good location in Boston. The disappointment came with the service followed by the food. Our server had an attitude throughout our dinner as if she did not wish to be there. Only one of the four dinners was above average. My friend had a chicken dish special that when he made a comment you could not cut it with a regular knife ,the server came back with a steak knife for him to cut which should have been tender chicken but was not. The manager did take that particular dish off of the bill. Over all and we are a group of frequent diners who will not go back there for anything but a drink. It was a very big disappointment. read more

While visiting my college girl and nephew in Boston, we planned to go to brunch before I caught my flight back to Chicago.Usually, I like to take charge of where we dine, but she took the lead in this one. And she didn't disappoint. We arrived to a busy Sonsie at about 12:30 on a Sunday, about 15 minutes before our res, and surprisingly, we were seated right away. When I say this place was busy, I mean it was packed. Although we weren't seated in the cute, front section with theater-style seating facing bustling Newberry Street, we did get a high-top across from the bar. Our server, Tyler, came over promptly and walked us through the menu and took our orders. I had a Bloody Mary and a Croque Monsiuer; my daughter had the Ginger Crush mocktails and a breakfast sandwich; my nephew had the French toast. Our food arrived quickly and everything was absolutely delicious. Sonsie is definitely a vibe with and the place-to-be for brunch and they have clearly mastered how to work the brunch crowd quickly and efficiently, while watching up delicious eats. Can't wait to go back! read more

Made a reservation for brunch to sit on the cafe side of the restaurant which faces out to Newbury St. the tables in this section are small bistro style for parties of 2 only. We were seated quickly and our waitress was was friendly and attentive. I ordered the cornflake French toast w/ berries and a side of bacon. The French toast was delicious, crispy and flavorful. The berries were a little lack luster - the strawberries were either once frozen or sat in a syrup too long, a bit mushy. The bacon was a bit thin and didn't come hot. My daughter ordered the avocado toast w/ a poached egg and a side of potatoes. The avocado toast was delicious and fresh, the egg nice and runny. The potatoes a bit lackluster - just frozen potatoes fried up plain. Two mimosas were nice and the coffee was good. Overall a decent place for brunch for the location. read more

Perfect spot for brunch! They had a great menu with a variety of options. I got their croque monsieur with fries and my fiancé got the avocado toast with smoked salmon. Both were very good and filling. We sat in their cafe section that overlooks Newbury street. It was very nice to people watch as we enjoyed our food. Our server was nice and attentive and made sure we had all we needed. I really liked the artwork they had inside and the overall ambiance of the restaurant. Definitely will be back. read more

Fabulous restaurant!! Great selection of food, drinks, and what a party atmosphere post marathon.

Terrible service. Waited so long for a waiter and did not come. There was this lady waitress that kept looking at us when it was clear we needed help and just kept walking away with attitude, pretending she didn't see us. However, the food was decent. read more

lol I came here instead because they removed my Google review. Guys lol I gave yall 2 stars now why are we greedy?? #immature. I encourage deep reflection without a defensive response from the owner because let's be serious guys...$20 for this??? Not to be that person but a 5 year old could make this unsupervised and yall wanted to charge me $20+ for this?? No hate to my waiter tho, he was a gem and gave my friend and I a free scoop of ice cream because he also agreed the $20 burrata salad was bs. I will say the only thing keeping yall in business is highkey the wonderful waiters read more

Seated is without menus, had to ask after 30 minutes, 10 minutes in was given water at the table. One member of our part ordered late and well after all of the other food came out including his salad, the burger arrived after we inquired. Don't be fooled in the vegetable section the "bonito" flakes are indeed dried tuna. "Vegetable" dies not mean vegetarian friendly :( The peppers were good but didn't have much flavor, the tempura was very very good and the sauce was delicious. The BEST dish of the night were the spring rolls. Very very good, and the pizza had a fluffy crust with ample cheese. read more

While on vacation in Boston, we ate here twice! It was that good. The ambience was wonderful! All the tables in the front of the restaurant are facing out towards the sidewalk with a fully open wall so we could feel the breeze from outdoors and watch all the people passing by. Even the tables were so cozy with a cute little candle on each one and just made for a romantic dinner. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful! I would highly recommend giving it a try! read more

A great spot for a date night dinner on Newbury St.! Came here for an anniversary dinner, and the servers were very friendly. We tried the Calamari (5/5), Kung Pao Cauliflower (4/5), Grilled Wagyu Beef Burger (5/5 maybe I was craving a good burger but this just hit the spot), the Bolognese (5/5 well executed for a simple dish), and the Cheesecake (which we got for free, though I'm not a huge cheesecake person so it's hard to tell how good it was). Overall great eats and night! read more

The good: Food was decent. Dollar oysters from 3-4pm. Had the gem salad. Others had the Caesar. They were all serviceable. The bad: Service was kind but disorganized. Seems they would either forget to bring things or the runners were awful. They apparently changed the menu but didn't tell the servers. Could have done a better job disclosing allergens on the menu (as in not at all). Shrimp were grilled/ burned into submission. read more

We came here for brunch on a Saturday morning around 10:30. We were able to get seated immediately but I would say if you are going any later, you should make a reservation. I've been seeing videos of the front sunlit tables area everywhere online. We ended up getting seated in the back of the restaurant, which was a bit more dimly lit and felt more formal. I would definitely try to come back and get seated in the front area when they open up their windows and the weather gets warmer. I ended up getting their breakfast plate with scrambled eggs, bacon, house potatoes and toast. Everything was cooked really well and there was a generous amount of food. Usually when I get a breakfast plate, I don't care for the toast but tasted freshly baked. I also loved the seasoning on the house potatoes and how soft they were. read more

Sonsie - Breakfast Plate - New American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The food was mediocre to begin with, but that's irrelevant when FOUR out of eight people got sick after eating the Caesar salads with chicken. This wasn't a coincidence. We called the restaurant multiple times--no one answered. Left a voicemail--not a single call back. Zero accountability, zero concern, and clearly zero regard for customer safety. I was really hoping to like this place, but instead we left with stomach issues and complete silence from management. If you enjoy gambling with food poisoning and being ignored afterward, this is the spot. Otherwise, stay far away. read more

The food was so good, I got the Croque Monsieur with egg, and the fries were amazing. My friend ordered the Creamy Espresso Martini and she loved it.

Great summer night dinner here on Saturday before the long Memorial Day weekend. We were walking outside over the Mass Ave bridge enjoying the really great evening that it is today. Then decided to head over to Newbury Street for dinner. Saw Sonsie open with nice outdoor seating and walked in. They said they close at 10 and if that was ok because it was 9:04 pm. We said it was totally fine as long as their service was efficient. I got the roast salmon which came with mashed potatoes and shishito peppers. The salmon was amazing perfectly cooked tender and flavorful buttery - I'd say one of the best salmons I've had and I've definitely had a lot of salmon lol! It is my go to dish!! The mashed potatoes were also really good creamy and buttery too really really nice couldn't stop eating! The shishito peppers were nice too. The hubs ordered the wagyu beef burger which came with a ton of fries. He really enjoyed the burger and said "this is just what I needed" and he remarked more than once how good it was! I tried the fries and they were perfect crisp on the outside tender soft on the inside. Our server Dawson was great very friendly and good service with a smile. The hostesses were also very nice. Overall great ambiance sitting outside soaking up the atmosphere on a warm summer night and a really great meal! read more

I came to Sonsie for the first time for my best friend's birthday celebration, and was pleasantly surprised! Pretty decent spot for American-Italian fusion, with lots of brunch and lunch options. Food and service are pretty good. I ordered the breakfast burger with an over-easy egg, and a side of fries. The burger was cooked well, but the bacon was a bit thicker and fattier than I like, and the egg was overcooked. I also asked to take off the caramelized onions, and they forgot, which is no big deal but could be a problem with allergens. Overall, the burger was pretty good, and the fries were incredible. I liked the pickle spear it came with. My best friend's got the Margherita pizza with no marinara sauce, and it was absolutely delicious. The pizza is the real star of the show here, and worth coming for. I was hesitant to try a slice without sauce, as I am a tomato lover, but I fell completely head over heels for this pizza. I was shocked at how good it was. It was one of the best pizza's I've ever had, and I didn't even miss the sauce. It tasted like the best version of garlic cheese bread that you could ever imagine. So cheesy and garlic and absolutely amazing. I may have helped my best friend consume that masterpiece more than I should've. Worth coming back for! read more

We went for lunch. Sat at a table right at the opening and it was a nice day. Table was too small - more like what they have at a bistro/coffee shop. Service was mediocre. Food was mediocre. I ordered the spaghetti dish and asked if there's bread - no there's not but I could order the focaccia. Which I did but I just wanted couple slices of plain Italian bread (free) not a big slab of focaccia +bowl of olives that was overpriced. Overall it was fine but that's not a compelling reason to go back. read more

After a long night, I was craving a bowl of soup and was pleasantly surprised with the sheer amount of soup that comes in their order. My friends had ordered drinks and one of the drinks had ingredients that ran out so the waiter asked if a replacement ingredient was fine. The waiter allowed my friend to try it and offered to make a completely different one if he didn't like it. I really liked the seating, in the front, it's French style where the chairs face the street and I'm assuming the big window wall opens up on nice days. I'll have to come back when it's nice out and find out! read more

We got seated at one of the tables looking at the street and they had the doors open. It was actually quite cold, so I wish they would have waited to open the doors until it got higher than 60 outside. I got the french toast which was ok. The strawberries on top were clearly of the compote/possibly frozen variety and had that really soft texture. I wish they would have used fresh strawberries. Otherwise service was good. My friend got the traditional breakfast and really enjoyed it, and that was the same price as my french toast. I would highly recommend getting the traditional breakfast instead. read more

I find the dinner menu mix funny. There are pasta and pizza options, but also dumplings and fried rice? The food was good. I thought the bolognese was flavorful and comforting. The chicken dumplings were nicely crisped on the outside, but a mushy mess on the inside. The focaccia was okay but unfortunately way too salty. I did think the serving size was appropriate and plenty of food for 2 people. I would come back to try their brunch options. The inside of the restaurant was roomy and dim, despite it being bright outside. I liked being seated in a corner so it wasn't very noisy. Our server did seem very busy, however, as he was not the most attentive and forgot to put in our order for calamari (or the kitchen forgot to make it). read more

I've been to Sonsie a few times now, and have had a great time every time! The interior is beautiful and a great space for dates or dinner with friends. My boyfriend and I shared the spaghetti and meatball entree (mainly because the prices are pretty high for anything other than pizzas) and planned to eat somewhere else after. The pasta was delicious, but wished there were more meatballs. We did order drinks, which were really good and had a nice time catching up with friends. The service is also nice and quick! I've heard their brunch is great, so maybe we'll stop in for that at some point, but because of the cost, we'll probably go elsewhere for dinner. read more

The food was good and reasonably priced! Their menu has a lot of options of different cuisines and there was plenty of seating. Just a thing to note that they charge you $7 for "still water" and don't mention that when they offer, so make sure to ask for tap! Which is better anyway because it's cold.

3.75* For an iconic Boston brunch spot, the food was just okay, but overall experience was good! I got the breakfast sandwich, and it didn't feel too heavy, but it lacked something I couldn't quite put my finger on. I also asked for the spicy mayo on the side, but it never came. The traditional breakfast was huge, but I found the eggs to be overdone, the bacon to be too greasy, and the toast over buttered. However the star of the show were the breakfast potatoes/homefries- they were perfectly crispy and not overdone, like they were prepared in an air fryer. So good. Overall the ambiance is nice, and the wait staff are very attentive. I would recommend sonsie as a whole, but I wouldn't say their brunch game is out of this world. read more

The food here was great, loved the ambiance and service as well. You can opt for a French bistro style of seating both indoors and outdoors (season dependent of course). It's a fun intimate setting to enjoy with others, I would recommend checking our Sonsie at least one.

Sonsie was quite a nice restaurant with a great vibe inside. All of the windows were open into the restaurant on the night we went which was really nice. The food was really good.

I have wanted to try Sonsie for a while, and I'm very glad that I did! My friend and I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and it was delicious. The eggs were the perfect amount of runny, and the hollandaise was flavorful. The home fries were also seasoned very well. The vibe of the restaurant itself is so nice - it's a perfect brunch spot to enjoy while the weather's nice, with an open view on Newbury Street. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. The only flaw I'd say is that there are no meat alternatives to pork, but other than that it was a great experience. I would recommend Sonsie for a nice brunch with friends! read more

The salmon was just right--good portion size, nice flavor. The salad was nice but I thought it needed a little more dressing. We liked the pasta dish as well.

By chance, my family and I had been just outside this restaurant when it started to rain, so we decided to come in for an early dinner. I decided to order their steak frites which is a NY strip 12 oz, peppercorn butter, & red wine demi. My mom ordered their spaghetti pomodoro, which is cherry tomatoes, basil, breadcrumbs, burrata & pecorino romano, and my friend got their Margherita pizza which is house-made mozzarella, fresh basil & san Marano tomato. We all loved our food and were so pleased with the quality of everything. My steak was so soft and cut like butter. The fries were ever so slightly oversalted but perfectly thin and crispy. I would come back and order the same thing again. Our waitress was also outstanding. They always kept our soda glasses full and checked up on us enough without hovering. The menu itself is pricey in general but reasonable for Newbury Street in Boston. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spot for a great dinner in the area. read more
