Yvonne's may be the best restaurant I have been to so far in Boston! The food was spectacular and the restaurant itself is elegant and gorgeous. The drinks were delicious as well as each of the plates we shared. I can't even pick a favorite dish because they were all so good!! I think the gobi Manchurian flatbread I would definitely order again and the flavors balanced so well. The tiropita tasted great - like an elevated spanakopita - and the mushrooms were so tasty. I appreciated all the vegetarian options! The cheesecake was the perfect end to an all around amazing dinner. I can't wait to come back!
I've been wanting to experience Yvonne's for the longest time, so I thought, why not finally go for my birthday? Unfortunately, the experience didn't start the way I expected. My birthday was noted on the reservation, but there was no acknowledgment of it when I arrived. I'm not expecting a grand celebration, but for a place with such a classy, trendy, upscale reputation, I expected a warmer welcome and at least some acknowledgment of the occasion. To me, service and hospitality are a huge part of the dining experience, and that initial welcome just didn't set the tone I was hoping for on my birthday. A heads-up if you're driving: there isn't parking immediately nearby, so expect to walk a little. Also, pay attention once you're on the street because GPS can be a little misleading when trying to locate the entrance. Thankfully, our server, Alexia was great! She was very kind, sweet, and attentive. I actually had to tell her myself that it was my birthday, and once she knew, she did what was necessary to acknowledge it and make the occasion feel a little more special. I really appreciated her for that. The food was good as well. I didn't end up trying any of their cocktails, which is unusual for me, especially during a birthday dinner. By that point, the overall experience just hadn't put me in the celebratory mood I had expected when I chose Yvonne's for the occasion. Maybe my expectations were higher because this was somewhere I'd wanted to visit for so long, but hospitality matters to me, especially at an establishment like this. Amanda helped turn things around, and the food was good, but the overall experience still left me disappointed. Will I come back? I'm honestly unsure.
Great ambiance and cocktails. I did not want to kill the vibes by taking flash photography. Check out the place yourself!
Yvonne's is such a pretty restaurant! They are part of the COJE group, which includes essentially many of the super aesthetically pleasing restaurants in Boston. With that being said, I don't usually have the best experiences at these restaurants because their interiors are beautiful but I find that the food tends to be not great. I ended up going here for some small bites, drinks, & dessert, after having dinner elsewhere. We got the Iberico skirt steak & spicy lamb stone fired pita for food. Both were honestly not bad! Lamb wasn't spicy though but I liked the pita bread. For dessert, we got the Baked Alaska! This was the star of the show for me. I loved the presentation. Anything torched, IM THERE! Haha. It tasted like what I'd imagine snickers bar ice cream to taste like. It was good! I'm glad we didn't opt for the bigger size because it would've been too much to finish, even for a party of 5. Lastly, we had their espresso martini! I liked it. It wasn't too sweet & had the perfect amount of alc. Our server was the best! He was super attentive and helpful with figuring out what to order. I think I would definitely come back for drinks and dessert. Food-wise, I'm not sure because I don't think for the price the two dishes we ordered were worth it. I felt a bit underwhelmed.
Great place, I love the speakeasy look incredible ambience. The food was fantastic. We stayed appetizers and were disappointed by anything we order staff, friendly and attentive.
I was very excited to go to Yvonne's, so it was a bit disappointing that it was a less-than-stellar experience. The food was very creative and the service was good, the carrots and mushrooms were favorite dishes, but it was a bit marred by many of the dishes being way too salty. I'm generally not too sensitive to salt, and it wasn't just me, it was all of my party who felt that way. I understand the desire of bars to push it a bit on the salt, and it would be one thing if it was one dish, but basically every savory dish we ordered was painfully salty. I also ordered a cocktail that came with a bergamot flower garnish that was pretty and aromatic, but unpleasantly stuck in the teeth. Unpleasant to the point I seriously considered asking them to take it back, strain it, and serve it again. Ultimately I didn't, and eventually it improved when the garnish settled on the ice. The carrot cake hit a similar note, really quite good, but I thought it could have done more with less (it had icing sprinkles and candied nuts and ice cream _and_ edible flower petals). Okay, that last bit is more of an aesthetic nitpick than the stuff I said earlier. The decor and setting was a stand-out, I really liked their choices for the place-settings and tableware. It's certainly very pretty, and my main complaint aside, I liked the food. Hopefully something was just off that night.
Updating my review from 5 to a 2 star. Yvonne's has the worst reservation system among the fine dining restaurants in the Greater Boston region. After numerous attempts dealing with the reservation managers (through its phone system) and despite receiving confirmation from the manager via its text messaging communication, the restaurant still failed to honor my reservation. Not to mention, upon pressing * on their phone to be connected to someone, it hangs up right away. Such incompetency is surreal. In fact, the reservation manager -- behind the phone messaging service -- is so incompetent that the staff at the check in agreed with us that they are indeed incompetent. Surely, Yvonne's is doing fine with its continuous pouring of new customers -- but it is known amongst previous regular customers that it starts to handle things in haphazard manners. Such carelessness, non bothering, laxing attitude will make such business fail. And Yvonne's is not immune to such failure.
Beautiful ambience, wonderful service and delicious food. The moment you walk into this space, you know it's going to be nothing short of mesmerizing. The service was super attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. And then there's the food. The deliciously fresh, perfect presented food that just melts in your mouth. Yvonne's is an absolute must if you're in Boston.
Looks dreamy but leaves a lot to desire This wasn't my first time at Yvonne's (it was my second) so I went in knowing the vibe. I was there celebrating a friend's birthday and left with a sour taste. First and most important, this place is not inclusive, despite them asking in advance if anyone has allergies or dietary restrictions. One of my friends had restrictions and we were told the chef refused to accommodate them. Let me add that it was simply to omit an item from a dish and we were told "the chef refuses to serve this meal without that item". She then asked about omitting the sauce from another dish and was told the same. She literally had to sit there and watch the rest of us eat all night. For a place at this price point, that's unacceptable. Yes, the restaurant is beautiful, but the layout is a mess. The entrance area is very dimly lit, the seating is extremely tight, and I couldn't even lean back in my chair without getting hit in the head every time someone walked by (which was constant). The back bar area is another issue people are seated but also standing directly in front of the bar, so trying to walk through means repeatedly saying "excuse me" just to move. Service didn't help. Servers would come out of nowhere and grab plates without saying excuse me, which felt abrupt and rude. The bathroom, very cutesy and all but was poorly maintained, the four stalls that it does have two stalls did not have toilet paper, which caused a line. The food itself was underwhelming and the portions were small, I know I know, it's tapas style but seriously? After spending more than $600 (we were 8), I still left hungry and ended up at McDonald's afterward. That pretty much sums it up. Conversations were tough to have because the place was very loud so unless you are sitting close to the person you are talking to, it was hard to hear them. After a while, it does get to you. So.... if you're just going for vibes and cocktails, and you're not hungry, this might be the right setting for you. But for a celebration, group dinner, or anywhere inclusivity, perhaps not.
Such tasty food and impeccable ambience. Service was great and timely. For a nice meal out ordering 4 dishes and drinks, we were in and out in 1 hour! We loved the lobster dumplings and tuna crudo. I tried one of their seasonal cocktails which was definitely good but not mind-blowing like my friends saids- maybe should have stuck to the tried and true cocktail menu.
Stunning experience, friendly staff and artfully plated dishes. I love the ambiance here: low lit, sexy and perfect for date night. It's the kind of restaurant that is made for late nights and fun times. I went her for my birthday and we were seated at the corner table near the back. It was a perfect setting as the bar can get quite loud and this allows us to have more privacy. We ordered drinks, appetizers and for the finale, the waitress brought out a 3-tiered ice cream cake signed by all the staff. It was a thoughtful touch to a memorable evening. However, the star of the show was the lobster dumplings. Creamy, zesty and incredibly flavorful. I would return just to experience it again. The gobi Manchurian flatbread was also yummy and provided a bit of spicy kick. Overall, a beautiful experience.
We came on a Sunday night without a reservation and we were able to get bar seats. The menu is unique and the vibes are great. All of our food was delicious.. the caulilini was my favorite, but the cheese cubes are always a favorite. Bar snack popcorn at the end was fun
Loud and enchanting with a dark brooding vibe the space was electric, cozy, and crowded. The atmosphere in the first section was like an old time sitting room. Low tables and plush rounded chairs. Service was slow because it was busy and there was only one bar tender but we were in no rush. The passionfruit mule was deliciously gingery and the rose thorn tasted very floral. The wild gulf shrimp were large and flavorful. The tuna crudo was the highlight! Fresh with a light sauce, and a delightful taro crisp for a nice crunch. The king trumpet mushrooms were grilled instead of dairy buttered and they were fine. Nothing too extraordinary. Every was pleasant and a fun vibe. So many groups of people, couples on dates, friends meeting up it was a lively atmosphere.
Back at Yvonne's for the second time, and it won't be my last! This is such a beautiful, romantic speakeasy-style restaurant with an intimate, moody atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special. I came with a group of four, which I highly recommend because the menu is designed for sharing. We ordered several dishes so we could try a little bit of everything. The crab beignets were probably my least favorite and something I'd skip next time, but the seared halloumi was delicious, the Lazy Lobster Dumplings were a MUST, and the Mediterranean Chicken was so flavorful and satisfying. And then there's the Prime Rib Chop, absolutely cannot come here without ordering it. It was easily top 5 best steak I've ever had! For dessert we tried the creme brûlée , the cheesecake and the carrot cake- honestly they were all unique and great. Yvonne's is definitely pricey, but I think it's worth it for the food, ambiance, and overall experience. Come with a group, share a bunch of plates, order the Prime Rib Chop and lobster dumplings, and enjoy the night. This is the kind of place that feels perfect for a special occasion or a romantic night out. read more

My lady and I are on a trip through New England, and our first stop is Boston. Due to traffic we got to the city later than planned, and had to hurry to the restaurant in order to make it in time. Luckily, they have a grace period of 15 minutes so it was not a problem that we were about 10 minutes late. The restaurant was loud and busy. I didn't mind the volume but some people surely would. It's dark inside, so the kind of place that some people would need to put on their readers and use their phone's flashlight to read the menu. Over the course of the night, each of us got 2 drinks. Altogether, the drinks we chose were the Icarus, the passionfruit mule, and we each got an espresso martini. No complaints, all were delicious. We were a bit overwhelmed by the options but luckily our server was very informative. Told us what he recommends and what's popular. We went with the crispy tater cubes, the lazy lobster dumplings, the bavette steak mirabeau, and the brussels sprouts. My ranking of how much I liked them would be the steak, the dumplings, the tater cubes, and then the brussels sprouts. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the brussels sprouts, but the steak and dumplings were especially good. Beware, the servings are quite small. So if you have a large party, prepare to order quite a bit. The prices aren't terribly unreasonable for most of the dishes, but it adds up fast. We still had some room for dessert, and my wife very much wanted to try the baked alaska. She didn't even know what it was, but her interest was piqued by photos online as well as seeing other tables order it. We ordered the half baked alaska, and were both very satisfied with it. All in all, we were happy with Yvonne's. When you come in, realize that you're probably gonna be spending quite a bit of cash. But we were satisfied. read more

The ambience of Yvonne's is a vibe in itself. The attention to detail is everywhere -love the playful portraits and the moody library feel. The pulsating music is energizing. Caesar, our server was outstanding! Anticipated our needs. Very efficient. Vibrant personality. A seasoned professional. But the food!!!!! Need I say more? We LOVED the food-from the chicken pita to the octopus. The flavors were truly incredible! Definitely recommend this outstanding restaurant. The whole experience from beginning to end was spectacular! They presented our check in the middle of a book to complete the library effect. Very clever. As a Yelp Elite/Allstar reviewer, I can definitely say Yvonne's was probably the best place we ate while vacationing in Boston and believe me, we went to many highly rated restaurants. Thank you for making our trip to Boston so memorable following the theater. If we ever venture back to Boston, we will definitely be back! read more

Absolutely would come back here and make a reservation as well. The espresso martinis were delicious. The place was packed and not very much seating was available. Lots of chatter and great individuals at the restaurant. It has a dark mood to the inside but a great place. read more

Came to Yvonne's for dinner/drinks before the Nutcracker at the Boston Opera House. We had bar seat reservations and were taken to the space below behind the speakeasy entrance. Yvonne's has beautiful decor/ambiance and the food was delicious. Wine and cocktails were good (however our bartender was a bit distracted and made several small mistakes/oversights that ended up being non issues but were noticeable nonetheless). Very much plan on returning again. read more
Celebrated a graduation here and I'm glad that we did. Everything was on point in my opinion. From the food to the ambiance, this establishment seriously impressed me. The star of the show was the food to me. I'm usually pretty good about snapping pics of the grub but I was just chowing down hahaha My favorite style is tapas and combined with Mediterranean food. This place checked both boxes so I was bound to be a happy camper. I loved the tuna and the octopus! Their meat was also sensational. Cannot forget the pita as well. There wasn't a dish I tried that I didn't fully like. read more

Every dish was thoughtful, bold, and beautifully executed. From the crispy spring rolls with a bright, addictive sauce to the rich, comforting mains and unforgettable desserts, not a single bite missed. The atmosphere is moody and vibrant, the service is warm and polished, and the entire experience feels elevated without trying too hard. Easily one of the best meals in Boston. Five stars and already planning a return. read more

We came here without a reservation even though their reservation was full. We still got seated. But more like in the main bar area but not in the main dining area. The restaurant is very dark even though it's bright outside. The decorations look nice. It's like a tapas restaurant as the portion is not too big. We got the CHARRED MAITAKE MUSHROOM. The taste itself is very good but also too salty. CRAB BEIGNETS is my favorable. The brussels slaw is surprisingly good. WILD GULF SHRIMP is ordinary. They have 6 shrimps and the sauce is good. But it didn't wow me. SPICY LAMB pita is very good too but again it's too salty. The lamb here has very strong lamb flavor. Some people may not like that. Service is good. But they added 3% kitchen fees. read more
Still one of our favorite downtown Boston dining spot. Especially like the lounge seats - casual, cost, great to hang out. Variety of small plates options, and their menu changes occasionally with the classics stay - we tried and liked most dishes. read more

Yvonne's is such an incredible spot and easily one of my favorite places in Boston. From the moment you walk in, the service is absolutely amazing--attentive, professional, and genuinely warm without ever feeling overbearing. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect, which makes the experience feel elevated from start to finish. The atmosphere is stunning. It has that intimate, speakeasy-inspired feel--moody lighting, elegant design, and a sense of exclusivity--but without being hidden or pretentious. It feels fun, lively, and welcoming all at the same time. I also love how versatile the space is, with options for tables, a beautiful bar, and comfortable lounge areas, making it perfect for a date night, drinks with friends, or a special night out. The drinks were expertly crafted, made properly, and absolutely worth the price. Every detail--from the ambiance to the service to the cocktails--was on point. Thank you again for such a great experience. I will definitely be back! read more
The food, service, and ambiance of this place is amazing. It's like stepping into a speakeasy but is extremely comfortable and has amazing food. We had Jill as our waitress and she was wonderful! Everything we ate was great--we had the spring rolls, pita (like a pizza almost), pork, and steak to share. The shared plates at the bottom easily serves 4 people so the price really isn't that bad for an incredible meal. read more

What a great dining experience. Our server was amazing with equally delightful food! Small plates to share which is fun--not a large entree that allows you to try many things! A bit dark but space is beautiful with a speakeasy feel. We will return! read more

Went to the bathroom and saw mouse droppings. We came here to eat but I thankfully used the restroom first and told my husband we're leaving- I was so grossed out! I guess they've had big rat problems in the past- and I'm sure it goes for all the restaurants around here since the 2 biggest homeless shelters are just 2 blocks away and it's a big city, but I've never seen this in a restaurant- I wonder what the food area looks like read more

Ask the Community - Yvonne's
Hi! Is there a bar/lounge area where we can grab drinks without a full dinner reservation? Planning a night out and your space looks amazing.
Yes, there is a bar lounge area. I would just let the hosts know that is what you prefer.
Do they typically take same day reservations? If not, what's the minimum time ahead you would suggest calling to place one?
They do usually have some available for two tops, and one of the bars has ample standing room with high tops that you can do as walkin. I'd recommend 2-3 days ahead to be safe
What time does the club start?
Do they let you add on one extra person to a reservation last-minute (one week in advance)?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Is it possible to walk in on Friday around 5ish without waiting?
For drinks, yes. For food, not likely. They book up weekends for dining/food as far as 3-4 weeks in advance. 4pm and 9:30pm are usually safer times to walk in and finesse a table as they are last reservation spots to go
Is this a good 1st date spot?
Yes! Definitely a nice place for a first date, the ambiance was amazing
What is the average cost per person?
It depends of how much you drink ... average is like 50 per person
Is there a dress code? Do I need to dress fancy?
You should look nice it's definitely not a t shirt and jeans kinda place
Can you go without reservations?
For drinks, yes (although be prepared to squeeze past people to get to the two bars). For dinner, not likely. The dining areas are usually full during peak dining times. Highly recommend reservations for food.
Is there a pool table here?
Yvonnes is not a sports bar atmosphere. High class dress to impress.
Do you need a reservation to just sit at the bar? And is there a minimum amount you're required to spend?
No and no
Are there any good vegan options here?
No. There are decent vegetarian options, but none that I consider decent for vegans because of dairy-based ingredients. The sister restaurant, Ruka, about 2 minutes away, is better for vegans.
