Date night here was beautiful. Did a GF proposal with the help of server on my desert . Needed a table for two at 11pm was told there's a 2hour wait . 10 minutes later we were seated in a nice area by the manager herself. NO FUSS WAS MADE. Guess we were dressed for an occasion and she made our night a priority.(thank you) Didn't get to enjoy full experience because of myself. Will return to get to enjoy the arts and more cocktails. Ordered a pasta that contained scallops &shrimp. 10/10 was even better next day for lunch at work. Peach Bellinis 6/10 not a sweet drink girly but this is what they are famous for . read more

Amazing ambiance, server was so sweet, and food came out pretty quickly. They have the best peach bellini I've ever had in my life. All the shareables we got were good, but most felt a little overpriced for the quality of the food. The pull apart bread is super popular and I can see why, but 10 dollars for it is kind of crazy. Overall though, still a really nice place to get food, just be prepared to spend. read more

This experience did not live up to my expectations and in fact was quite disappointing. I'd rate the food and service "5" and the rest of the experience "1", hence my rating of 3-stars. My two BFFs and I were eager to try this new-to-us spot and were surprised to find a 6-week wait for a Saturday night reservation, but, okay. Given that, our expectations were high. Perhaps we are not the target demographic for the CC. We noted with surprise in their communications about the reservation, and on the website, an emphasis on a particular dress code. In their words: Dress Code Policy To complement the tone of our space, we kindly ask guests to dress in stylish, smart casual attire. We celebrate personal style that aligns with a refined atmosphere. Admission is at the discretion of our management, with the goal of ensuring an exceptional experience for everyone. We had a few conversations about this before we arrived, and took it seriously, so imagine our surprise to find, waiting in line and seated in the restaurant, people in blue jean shorts and sneakers, well worn blue jeans (not the stylish ones), backward baseball caps, etc. Not refined. It wouldn't have bothered us except for the emphasis made which was clearly for show and not enforced. Seemed a bit pretentious. The ambience is as described in other reviews: lively, energetic, trendy, etc. The design is lovely. There are two sections, a dining room and an enclosed patio. We waited to be seated and were led to the patio, the focal point of which is a bar. We were surprised not to be seated in the dining area, having made our reservations 6 weeks before, but didn't ask for a different table as the place was quite busy, the banquette to which we were shown looked comfy, and we didn't want to wait further. We later looked at the email reservation and noted that as was requested, "dining room" was specified. Had we realized that at the time we would have asked to be re-seated. The banquette was along the window, and each table had a shawl/blanket draped over a chair, which was a nice touch, as window seating can sometimes get chilly. However, the space between us (the banquette could easily have seated 5) plus the noise made it difficult to hear each other. We walked through the dining room on the way out and that space was only a tad less noisy. Our server, Nicole S., was pleasant, attentive, and efficient, answering our questions and making sure we got our drinks and meals quickly and as ordered. I had a glass of sauvignon blanc and the rigatoni bolognese with the fennel topping on the side; the bolognese was delicious and the pasta al dente. One companion had the spaghetti portofino, which looked amazing and she declared was very good. My other companion had the truffle parmesan chicken with grilled mushrooms and gnocchi in a sauce served on the side as she requested. She said this was quite good as well, so no complaints about the food. Unfortunately, with so many good places to eat in the city, given the above experience it is unlikely that we will return to the Cactus Club. read more

Stopped in here late on a Sunday night, and we were delighted to learn about the happy hour menu. The Smashburger is truly such a steal, but everything else is about like three dollars off. I got the Bellini, which was delicious; however, as someone who doesn't really like sweet drinks, I really benefited from cutting it with some soda water. Really good martini, but not sure it was worth $21 (wish I had known this before hand). We got the smash burger, fries, and the avocado dip - all of which were really delicious. Definitely recommend the smash burger (it isn't super huge). The avocado dip was like a guacamole and the perfect size. The mousse cup desert left a lot to be desired. It's very small. Most importantly, the mousse looked and tastes like it had fallen, so it was kind of like a sad pudding. Super disappointing and wish I hadn't ordered. Ambiance is super vibey, but the service was not super great. Had to ask several time for things like water and waited a long time for it to actually be brought to table read more

Cactus Club Cafe feels like one of those places you go for the vibe, but this time the food actually backed it up! Didn't expect to say this, but there were NO MISSES. The food was amazing, the cocktail was well balanced, and the service was extraordinary! I highly recommend the Sticky Garlic Ribs Fun fact, this is where the law firm Crane, Poole & Schmidt in Boston Legal was If you're going, just know... you're leaving full and satisfied read more

Go here for the ambiance & drinks, not the food. The bellini was fabulous of course! The drink menu had great choices. The ambience is beautiful, and the bar is great. The food is very average. Think tavern in the square vibe. We got the pull apart bread and it was not worth $10, it wasn't even warm or anything special. the burger & fries were okay. the med bowl was good, nothing crazy. Overall I would come back but just for drinks! read more

I recently stumbled upon Cactus Club Cafe and have already been twice in a row--that's how much I like it. It's quickly becoming one of my go-to spots for a quick drink and bite, especially during happy hour. The peach bellini is to die for--highly recommend if you're going. If you visit Monday through Thursday from 4-6 PM, they have a great happy hour menu with really reasonable prices (think $10 burgers and other options in the $10-$20 range), which is perfect for something casual but still fun. The vibe is lively and upbeat, making it a great place to meet up with friends. It does get crowded pretty quickly, though, so I'd recommend making a reservation or going early if you want to grab a spot at the bar. read more

Finally made it to Cactus Club Cafe! The atmosphere is a total vibe--perfectly classy but casual. Just a heads-up that the lounge seats are a bit of a tight squeeze to slide into, but they are so comfy once you're settled! ​The food is definitely a highlight. They use real truffle sprinkled on almost everything, and the truffle butter was so good we couldn't waste a single drop. The sticky ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and not too sweet, but the gnocchi was the absolute star. It was rich, buttery, fresh, and basically pure fluffy indulgence on a plate. ​Service was super friendly and the front desk was so helpful, though we did have a funny "whoops" moment. We were there for our engagement celebration, but the staff delivered our cake with a "Happy Birthday!" Definitely a bit pricey for a regular visit but ​go for the celebrations, get the gnocchi, and stay for the vibes! read more

The ambience...the food...the vibes...oh YEAH, I'm sorry to say but it's DEFINITELY worth coming here! Drake was right about those peach Bellinis, they are SOOO GOOD!!!!

They are worth it and suuuuper good! Service is top-tier where the waiters are kind and engaging--makes it even more worth coming to a place like this! read more

This place is awesome! And I cannot wait to come back for the food and drinks as they were spectacular! The frozen peach Bellini has been all over social media and it definitely makes sense why since it was delicious. I also got the frozen blood orange margarita which was also delicious. The sushi was really good here too. I would love to try out some other food on the menu next time. Inside the ambiance is dark if you go at night but it was definitely worth the visit. I will definitely be coming back! read more

We enjoyed our first visit for a Mother's Day Brunch. The prefix menu was very nice with a glass of wine, pulled bread and appetizer . We enjoyed the hot fried chicken and pickles. For entree I had the chicken parm with gnocchi and mushrooms. It was a very large portion. For dessert we had key lime pie. Others at the table had steak which they enjoyed. The ambiance is beautiful and modern. There are many rooms with different looks. The patio bar was very bright with a greenhouse look. The servers are all very friendly and each course of food came timely. I would highly recommend and look forward to going back. read more

The ambiance is A1!!!! Trendy, great lighting, and bustling. The service was great as well. No complaints! Sushi set..amazing (5/5) Steak and creole shrimp (4.5/5) Steak frites (3.5/5) the fries were the big let down. I feel like if you get s fresh batch of fries then you would be golden! Cocktails (3.5/5) very balanced drinks and sometimes sweet..personal preference i like my whisky drinks a bit more booze forward. Overall, i definitely recommend and would come back. Also, everyone orders that frozen bellini drink... it was wild to see how many the bartenders made on a Thursday night. read more

Yelp has this place labeled "good for brunch" but I want to make it clear that they do NOT serve brunch. Absolutely huge, beautiful place covered in art and with a patio. What we ordered: -Avocado Dip: 5/5, gigantic fresh corn chips and the dip tasted so fresh with a little kick to it. -Bacon Cheeseburger with truffle fries (me): 3.5/10, burger was pretty good but nothing to make it stand out, the truffle fries were delicious- crispy, and came with incredible aioli -Poke bowl with tofu (guest): 4/5, she says the tofu was flavorful and cooked crispy, the bowl has a lasting spicy after-taste to it -Greek Goddess with Salmon(guest): 3.5/5, very fresh however again just an average salad-nothing to make it stand out -Spicy chicken sandwich with truffle fries (guest): 4.5/5, just the right amount of kick however the chicken patty itself was pretty thin compared to the whole sandwich read more

So I'll start with the vibes here are excellent - perfect for an upscale meal, date, happy hour, or celebration. The service matched the vibes and was great with no complaints. The drinks were fun, although a tad pricy even for Boston (but again, matching the upscale vibe). The food was just a bit disappointing, especially for the price. While there was nothing wrong or distasteful about the meal, it did not live up to the premium prices they were charging. A $45 steak frites (as the cheapest steak option) only to get a fairly bland steak was pretty disappointing. All in all, you're definitely paying for the ambiance which is good in the right situation. Would recommend for the events I mentioned and especially on a corporate card. Would like to try some more of the food options another time, to see if I just ordered a bad plate. read more

Cactus Club has an elegant and trendy vibe with food that matches the aesthetic of the space. Their signature frozen bellinis are super cute and a fun drink to order.

Cactus Club Cafe - Frozen bellinis - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Was in Boston for business for a few nights and went to Cactus Club because they looked like a modern take on sushi and Latino flavors. Being a party of one, I sat at the bar. The bartenders were beautiful and very attentive. The vibe was very cool and energetic, especially for a Monday night. I'd give this review 5 stars of if I stopped here but the food. The food was just ok. Was on the heavy handed side, salty, sour, too big of flavors. I had ceviche which was very heavy in fish sauce and also had crab and spinach dip which was pretty fishy and underwhelming. Maybe go meet a friend for drinks for happy hour. read more

Cactus Club Cafe was so elegant and beautiful inside. Also, a lot bigger than you'd expect! The food was delicious. The crispy chicken sandwiches and truffle fries were perfect to share.

Very excited for the opening of this restaurant! I saw their sign in the window for months and had to snag a res when they announced their opening. The inside is really spacious and had a very nice ambiance. Perfect for a date night or a girls night! We ordered some drinks, which were really good and sweet. It was happy hour, so we also got the sushi platter. Unfortunately, they were all out of crab so we couldn't try the crab roll or the crab dip. We opted for calamari and extra salmon instead. We also tried the fish tacos, which were really well seasoned and crunchy. Our server recommended the key lime pie for dessert, and it was probably my favorite thing we tried!!! Overall, I think the service was kind of slow (took like 20min to get the check) but that's probably because they just opened. Pricey, but fun to visit! read more

The perfect place for a girls night!! Such a pretty restaurant. Vibes are so high inside - they play great music. I can imagine the bar getting pretty busy on weekends. We came on opening night and had such a great time. The frozen bellini is worth the hype! It was so good and not headache-inducing, overly sweet. The sushi set is also the perfect thing to share because you get to try a few rolls. The server was so nice and actually came back and gave us her card after too! We absolutely loved it and will be back! read more

Bar line was ridiculous, fortunately we had a reservation. Ambience is INSTAGRAM in a good way. It's moody and natural with lighting they really did to flatter everyone. Food was pretty good too. Not a ton of veggie options unless I wanted it to be fake meat, which I'm really not a fan of. I don't want meat, and I don't want fake meat as a substitute. We got ceviche that was good but unusual, avocado spread, calamari, creme brûlée and key lime pie. Each dish was somewhat smaller than we expected, but they were appetizers. 4 stars for food, 5 for everything else. Avocado was definitely not guac, too smooth but tasted nice. Calamari was great. Earl grey creme brûlée was a little off, tasted like over-brewed tea and wasn't very flavorful. Brûlée part was very thick. Key lime pie was nice, the crust was also thick and dry and half of it was whipped cream. The drinks were phenomenal. Both cocktails and mocktails were great. read more

Back again at Cactus Club Cafe Boston on a Friday night, and it continues to earn its spot in my rotation. This place continues to be reliable in the best way from great vibes along with solid food and drinks. We stuck with mocktails this time as we were doing dry January. The Margarita Zero, Little Pearl, and Hey Hibiscus were all refreshing, balanced, and thoughtfully made. My personal ranking was Hey Hibiscus (favorite), Little Pearl and then the Margarita Zero. Food highlights were strong: the Sticky Garlic Ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious, and the Warm Pull Apart Bread made a repeat appearance because it's simply a must-order. The Sushi Set was clean and satisfying. My personal favorites from the Sushi Set were Torched Salmon Aburi and Tuna Temaki. The Steak & Lobster was the only miss for me as both lacked flavor, but the truffle fries were excellent. Finished the night with the Six Layer Chocolate Slice dessert, which was rich, indulgent, and worth every bite. What really elevated the night was the phenomenal service. Our server, Rianne, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and fully on top of her game, making the whole experience feel seamless and welcoming. Cactus Club continues to be a dependable go-to for a relaxed night out and I'll gladly be back again! read more

Super exciting new place on Boylston- fun young vibes with a lot of business right now! The bar was totally packed and the line at 8pm was crazy. We arrived 20 mins late to our 5pm reservation and they kindly held our table. Honestly think it's worth the wait- cocktails and mocktails are fantastic. Apps were fabulous too but happy hour deals recommended... 4-6pm before Friday. Looooved the calamari and avocado dip, which was surprisingly not guacamole! It's very creamy and herby, as was the ceviche. Nothing was too spicy or salty- just loved it all. We were sat by the window so thankfully we could all hear one another despite the bustle. Very attentive service and items came out quickly! Will be returning. read more

My best friend heard the Cactus Club Cafe had recently opened so we decided to give it a try for dinner. The two of us had a res for 7:45 and were seated after a few minutes of waiting. The restaurant is beautiful and we got a cozy booth. I was really pleased with my experience!! The service was lovely - very attentive. And we absolutely loved the food and drinks, to the point where there was not a single item that we wouldn't come back for. We tried the bellini and blood orange margarita, both frozen drinks, which were so delicious and refreshing (not too boozy either). To start we shared the pull apart bread (comes with an herb butter that is so soft and divine) and an avocado dip that we inhaled. For entrees I had the rigatoni bolognese, which contains a beautiful mix of beef and pork ragu, and my friend had the cajun chicken sandwich. We both deeply enjoyed these plates. I have only positive things to say about the food, the wait staff, and the overall vibe. I'm hoping to try more on the menu soon! read more

All around a great experience. I stopped by after work and sat at the bar for some appetizers--they have a happy hour menu, which was a nice bonus. The burger was fantastic, and the shrimp ravioli was delicious--definitely the highlights. I also tried the viral TikTok drink; it was just okay. I wouldn't go back specifically for the drink, but I would absolutely return for the food. The bartender was amazing--very attentive and made great recommendations. The ambiance was also great, making it a perfect spot to unwind after work or meet up with friends. Overall, a really positive experience. I'll definitely be back. read more

I was very excited to try the cactus club Café, as it had been under construction in my neighborhood all year... and it did not disappoint! Our waitress got off you a rocky start by calling me the wrong name and wishing me happy birthday... But, it was actually our 25th anniversary. (They personalized our reservation and special occasion... but clearly she had the wrong table.) Nonetheless, she was very friendly, informal, and "hanging with us tonight." I LOVE that they actually offered non-alcoholic drinks tempting enough to order. They were almost $10 apiece... And I'd order them again. The food was exceptionally good and the chef put a new twist on every dish that we've already tried. We had the ziti Bolognese, and they added crunchy fennel seeds and spicy sausage. We had the salmon and they placed it on a subtle savory Dijon sauce. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with dim lighting and comfy corner booths. THE DEAL: if you want a fresh food twist on old fab faves, check out the cactus club café! read more

Hip new place for good cocktails and bites. Came here a few days ago with friends and almost couldn't get in because they were so busy but we managed to get a table. The hosts and waiter were very very friendly and even recommended some cocktails and appetizers which did not disappoint. I had the Penicillin and the paper crane: both very well made though not strong. We also got the Szechuan lettuce wraps and butternut squash ravioli with shrimp which came recommended. Both were great but the ravioli were standout. And I can't forget the 6 layer chocolate cake; SOO chocolatey and moist! Unfortunately the price of food was a bit high for a chain restaurant imho but at least the drinks were typically priced and overall quality good. I'll be back for sure.

You know what Drake says about those peach Bellini's. The food and overall vibe of this place was phenomenal. You could definitely tell that this was a "going out" kind of place that has live end up the Boston food and overall outgoing scene.

I came here to the weekend before the Boston marathon show was definitely packed, but I was able to make it in with my family while being on a standby line to the bar. It was about 20 minutes so it wasn't terrible. The service here was attentive and I would definitely recommend coming here whether that's for happy hour or for a day out on the weekend or for even a night out with your friends celebrating a special occasion, I tried the seafood spaghetti which was delicious, and the other folks in my party tried the chicken Parmesan, the cod, and the steak frites.
