    I loved Krasi and will absolutely be back. We went for Symposium Wednesday, and it was my first time exploring Greek wines. The whites leaned a bit funky/natural for my taste, but I really enjoyed the reds. Standouts for me were the Magiatiko (amberjack crudo) and the Tiropita rolls. The Magiatiko was bright and fresh with beautiful acidity and herbs, while the Tiropita was pure comfort. Warm, buttery, and unbelievably soft with that perfect pillowy-dough texture and honey butter. We also ordered a charcuterie selection (Louza, Noumboulo, and Akrokolion: pork, wild boar, and lamb). Two servers described them differently, so I was never completely sure which was which, but everything was flavorful and nicely spiced. I usually love octopus, but the Xtapodomakaronada (braised octopus with pasta) wasn't my favorite. It was slightly fishy with a texture that didn't quite land for me. There are so many other dishes on the menu I want to try that I'd return in a heartbeat. Service was spectacular: attentive, warm, and genuinely friendly, with multiple team members seamlessly running food and checking in.

    We finally got to go back to Krasi and loved everything!! Special shout out to Journey who helped me navigate the menu ahead of time because of my allergies. There were also plenty of vegetarian items. The tiropita rolls were warm and better than I remembered. The fava with split pea and leek dip was so creamy and delicious with fresh pita. The alevropita was like a scallion pancake it with feta and caramelized onions on top- so good. My absolute favorite was the matsata which was such a unique thick, perfectly chewy pasta with sunchoke cream! My husband also enjoyed the souvla and a guava mocktail.

    I love the interior deco and it's so cozy entering it each time. Prepare to wait for a bit if you don't have reservations. The orange wine was delicious and honestly can't go wrong with most of the menu items that I have tried over a few visits. Portions are small/decent size like tapas and some of the entrees are larger in portions but best to do family style. I tend to bring folks here from out of town cause it's so good and a crowd pleaser!

    My wife and I have been waiting to try Krasi so we took our daughter there for dinner while visiting Boston. To be fair, it is difficult for me to write a review for a Greek restaurant being brought up in a traditional Greek household. My parents both came to the US so I am a bit biased. My wife tried to talk me out of it but I wanted to see if the hype was real. We checked in and were sat at a charming table at the front of the restaurant. They had a nice bar area. The ambiance was cool and dark and pretty hip. Our server came and introduced himself. We ordered some wine and appetizers. The restaurant does not have a liquor license but does offer cordials like Ouzo. I don't understand it but if you want a cocktail, this isn't the place. The appetizers were good. We ordered Tzatziki made table side, some fresh rolls, some Kasseri cheese and some Lokaniko sausage. We were pretty happy at that point. However, things got shaky after this good start. Our server was virtually nonexistent. I had to ask another waiter for a 2nd glass of wine and some seasoning. Our entrees arrived. I got the rotisserie which was chicken, my daughter got Giouvetsi which is braised lamb with Orzo in a rich tomato sauce, and my wife got a pasta dish. They all looked good! However, my rotisserie chicken was pieces of dry chicken on a platter with some pita, potatoes, and overly ripe tomatoes on a platter. The potatoes had a really unusual aftertaste. My daughter's Giouvetsi was overcooked. They only gave us butter knives so it was impossible to cut into it. The sauce was not very flavorful. My wife's pasta was good. Value is not the greatest. My chicken dish was $36 dollars, and one glass of wine that my wife had was $19. I really was hoping for an authentic Greek restaurant in Boston but this isn't it. I hate to go against the Yelp rating. It is fine for people who have never had true authentic Greek dishes. It's like Midwest people flocking to Legal Seafood because they can get good fish at home. I believe a more accurate rating is 3.5 stars. I think 3 would have been unfair so I gave it 4. If you are out, give it a try for a glass of wine and an appetizer or two.

    Such a cozy spot for dinner! Very intimate and inviting. For appetizer, we tried their Marouli salad, which I did not expect to have so much flavor. It was fresh, light, and every ingredient in there paired so well together. Probably one of the better salads I've had. For dinner, we had their Souvla, which was chicken this time. Honestly, maybe it was just us, but it did not quite hit the mark for us. They go by rotisserie of the day and that day we went was chicken. Perhaps other selections they had were probably better than the chicken we had that night. We did like the roasted potatoes with the roasted garlic yogurt in that dish, but everything else felt really bland. It came with pita bread which was perfect for dipping into other dishes. Speaking of dipping, we had was the Spetzofai, which I used the pita bread from the Souvla dish because this dish was amazing! It featured pork meatballs topped with caramelized onions and leeks and everything was balanced so well. So much flavor and spices and every bite was wonderful. Definitely the standout dish of the night. Overall had a lovely time!

    Great atmosphere. Awesome choices. Not many gluten free options at all. The homemade tzatziki is delicious as well as the cheeses.

    Tiropita Rolls
    Rachelle L.

    Was really excited to try Krasi and have heard about how it can be a tough reservation to get- but unfortunately the food itself fell a bit short of our expectations. The ambience of the restaurant is lively and cozy and the service was also great, but the actual dishes were a bit lackluster and pricey. Tried the famous tiropita rolls and felt they were a bit heavy/oily, tableside tzatziki, xtapodi/octopus, and souvla. The dishes were okay, but felt that they were lacking some flavor/zest and I found myself wanting sauce to add some spice. Not sure if I would come back, but it is a cute spot for a date night or girls night! Food: 3/5 Price: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 4/5

    Krasi, the name of the place I have passed several times near Hynes that I always wondered about. In December, I finally had a chance to try it and now I shall tell you my tale. First of all, booking for this place is insane even trying a month out. Luckily, I was able to snag a singular 7pm slot on a Monday at the bar. The restaurant has half bar seating and half small tables and feels like a long but tight halfway but in a good way! They were decked out for the holidays with ornaments hanging from the wall with wreaths and some gnome looking santas that frightened me a bit lol. Nice atmosphere and a good playlist that ends up fading to the back. You must absolutely get the triopita rolls and Portokalopita.... honestly was the best part. The rolls have that fresh bread aroma mixed with that sweetness from honey butter and the cheese inside. Honestly, 3 rolls was not enough. I have never tried an orange wine and enjoyed the one recommended to me by my server. He was really great and even gave us a shot on the house which was so complex in taste... I couldn't totally explain it. I really also enjoyed the bourdeto which was super red and apparently spicy but all i could taste were some spices lol. The tzatziki and giouvetsi were just alright to me. While the lamb was nice and easy to cut I felt like the sauce was lacking in flavor. After our shot, we dove into our dessert. On yelp reviews, all I saw were people mentioning this cake.. So I knew I had to get it. And let me tell you it was BUSSSSIn... so moist and orangey and paired so well with the ice cream. Seriously, just coming back here and getting wine, bread and dessert I would be satisfied. I left full from sharing 2 apps , 2 entrees and dessert and was surprised because I wasn't sure it was gonna be enough. While I do not think it lived up to the extremely high expectations this is definitely a nice spot to treat yourself on a special night and I would go again if I am prepared to spend a pretty penny.

    Feast of the gods. I did this incredible Krasi experience for my 30th birthday with a group of 9 friends. From start to finish, this was truly a foodies perfect night. The feast involves every dish on the menu, and is recommended for a group of 6-8 dinners. The table at the back of the restaurant is reserved for this experience, and the table itself is gorgeous with a little moss terrarium under the table and a semi-secluded environment from the rest of the restaurant. The process was easy, and they did a perfect job of handling the dietary restrictions in our group (no pork, severe anaphylactic peanut/tree nut allergy) with confidence and ease. They were easily able to replace dishes that we couldn't eat (ie pork dishes) with other equivalent dishes on the menu. The food came out quickly, and each dish was truly phenomenal. Some highlights were the divine Tiropita Rolls (we added a few orders of these so we could each eat a whole roll), Htipiti dip, Fruitosalata, Magiatiko, Garides (!!), and Giouvetsi. This was truly the most perfect birthday experience. Such a fun concept where every dish is shared, and you spend the night passing around plates and so much food. We were so stuffed as 9 people (6 girls 3 guys) so the amount of food is definitely more than enough! Must experience for any foodie!

    Wow wow wow wow wow Wow Uh Wow So came by with some friends from out of state for dinner Wow Wow The food ... Wow. We got a bit of everything. From bread to chickpea fritters to eggplant (my friends got seabass and lamb) wow. So insanely good. I can't even put into words how incredible everything was. The service was top tier. From an absolutely perfect wine recommendation to the clearing of dishes and being present yet not overbearing. I just.... Wow And inside was so classy yet not stuffy. Very cozy feel. I ... Wow Tl;Dr - Wow. Go here. Have amazing food. You're welcome. But make sure you make a reservation. I cannot wait to go back soon.

    Came here on New Year. This place has a nice warm classy ambiance. The waiter gave us helpful recommendations. The dip was pretty good. We had some sort of pasta dish with octopus that I really liked. Less a fan of the short rib dish. My favorite dish was the tourbeto, which is fish in some warm stew. And dont forget dessert!

    Delicious Greek brunch at Krasi! We loved our meal and there were so many sweet and savory dishes to choose from. My favorites were the sweet Tsoureki (like a Greek French toast) and the Trahanas, a cracked wheat pasta with mushrooms. Loved the flavors and textures in the dishes and I would love to come back and try more dishes.

    Sharitza P.

    Came here for the Christmas vibes and to try something new! I don't always go out for Greek food (but I love and have tried many Greek dishes/flavors) and wanted to give this spot a try. Right when we walked in it was very cozy and inviting, the service was great and our waiter was super kind and knowledgeable. I tried I few things I had never tried before including a Greek spirit called Ouzo, it tasted like black licorice and I loveeee black licorice! Enjoyed everything we ate, but the tableside tzatziki was especially good. Would love to come back and try some more dishes.

    Love that they offer a gluten/dairy free edited menu. Super thoughtful and empowering

We walked into a warm, energetic space with dim lighting, an open dining room, and a constant buzz that makes it a great choice for a night out with friends or a date. The restaurant has a vibrant, social energy that encourages sharing and exploration, and the open layout adds to the sense of activity without feeling chaotic. Rather than ordering individual entrées, the experience is centered around sharing a variety of dishes, making each visit feel a little different depending on what you choose. The tapas are the highlight of the menu, with plenty of options that encourage trying a little bit of everything. The bacon-wrapped dates are one of the signature dishes, balancing sweet and savory flavors, while the patatas bravas, croquettes, and charcuterie boards are reliable choices to start the meal. If you are looking for something more substantial, the seafood paella and squid ink pasta stand out as excellent main dishes, offering rich flavors and generous portions that are easy to split between two or more people. The olive oil cake is also worth saving room for if you want to end the meal with dessert, and the overall progression of the meal works well with the tapas format. The drink menu is just as impressive as the food. Wine is the main focus, with an extensive list featuring Spanish and international selections, but the sangria and cocktails are equally popular. It is the kind of place where you can easily spend a couple of hours sharing plates while working your way through a few different drinks, and the beverage program is thoughtfully curated to match the style of the food. Service is one of the restaurant's strongest points. The staff are knowledgeable about both the menu and wine list, and dishes arrive steadily throughout the meal instead of all at once, creating a relaxed dining pace. The pacing allowed us to enjoy each dish without feeling rushed, and the team checked in at the right moments without hovering. The restaurant is consistently busy, especially on weekends, so reservations are highly recommended. Even with a reservation, there can occasionally be a short wait, and the lively atmosphere means the dining room can get quite loud during peak hours. The energy of the room is part of what makes the experience work, but it is worth keeping in mind if you are looking for a quieter dinner. Barcelona Wine Bar is one of the best places in Boston for Spanish-inspired tapas and wine. The combination of flavorful shareable dishes, a well-curated drink menu, attentive service, and vibrant atmosphere makes it an easy choice for group dinners, celebrations, or date nights. It offers a meal that feels both communal and polished, with a setting that encourages slowing down and enjoying the evening. Just be prepared for the energetic environment and plan ahead if you are visiting during the busiest times.

    People recently wondered why Boston got nearly entirely shut out by the Michelin people (only 1…read moreone-star was given); among the places that were said to be in the running was Amar, located in a lovely space in the Raffles Hotel. We have been there twice, and I now will put my brief review. The take-home: if Boston, Raffles, and Amar think they deserve a star, they really need to up their game. I will get one thing out of the way very quickly: the food is spectacular and the wine service was excellent; these are not the reason for my comment. The simple truth folks is that a dining experience is not JUST about the food. It's about ambiance--which includes service and atmosphere, and that is where Amar just falls apart. It would be wrong to not recognize that the individual servers were quite nice and attentive. We had an 830 pm seating--hardly late in most cities, though one might suggest that in Boston that is on the later side (it really isn't folks). Regardless, by 1030-11 pm, the dining room was nearly empty on a Saturday night. At that moment, a server came over to us to alert us the kitchen was closing--which was obviously them saying "get out"--but soon thereafter the smell of cleaning fluid filled the air, and we realized there was a person cleaning the tables--with a cleaning cart, complete with mops, brooms, and cleaning fluid in the middle of the dining room. While people were seated and eating. This is a restaurant with a pricey menu and wine list, and I cannot remember a time when dining in a fine restaurant when something like this EVER happened. We found it funny at first, but while trying to eat our dessert and drink our final cocktails the smell of ammonia really ruined the final experience. In the end, once served with the bill, it was not funny. The bill was around $1000 for 4 people including a nice bottle of wine. So: expensive, nice individual service, good food. But the lack of awareness about how diners paying for an expensive meal feel being rushed, and then the utterly ludicrous presence of a cleaning cart in the middle of the dining room while people were still eating (I posted a photo) makes Amar a laughable memory but nowhere I'd go back to.

The wine selection is excellent and thoughtfully curated -- whites, reds, bubbles, orange wines, and more, so there's truly something for every palate. My friend and I both ordered a red, and it was absolutely perfect. Our server was super friendly and attentive, and she even offered a few samples so we could try before committing to a full glass, which we really appreciated. For food, we shared the hot dog with fried oysters to pair with the wine, and it was surprisingly delicious and a fun, elevated bar bite. Overall, the experience was fantastic -- great wine, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Pricing is definitely on the higher end, with wine glasses around $20 and the hot dog at $14, but the quality and experience justify it. I'd absolutely come back for another wine night.

    I've been a loyal fan of haley.henry for years and have recommended this spot to countless friends,…read moreso I was really excited to finally bring a new coworker here. Unfortunately, this most recent visit didn't live up to the high standards I've come to expect. While a few dishes hit the mark, the majority of our order was a letdown: Tinned Octopus: Surprisingly chewy and lacked seasoning. Mushroom Toast: The texture was rubbery, and the flavor was completely drowned out by an aggressive amount of balsamic. Beets: Had a very overwhelming cumin flavor that threw the dish out of balance. Roast Beef Slider: Served cold and felt a bit uninspired. It's such a cute, intimate space, and I've had so many wonderful nights here in the past, but the execution was just off this time around. I'm hoping it was just an off night, but it was definitely disappointing given how much I usually love this place!

    We have been frequenting Grill 23 for 10 years. We often come to commemorate special occasions,…read morelike birthdays or anniversaries. Given this, in previous years, these moments were celebrated by the restaurant. Unfortunately, this was not the case tonight. We were celebrating a wedding anniversary and there was no acknowledgement of said celebration in any way. It felt really disappointing, as we have patroned this restaurant for years, and were really looking forward to this evening as new parents who do not get to have these moments out as much. It truly left a sour taste in our mouths.

    Finally tried out this Boston steakhouse staple. Steak and service were very good. The 100 day dry…read moreaged prime ribeye had great flavor and the dry aged prime new york had a nice texture. Both were served with a bit of greens and french onions to balance the rich beef. The foie gras was a good starter, kind of like a French onion soup with seared foie on top. They definitely seem to apply their French onion flavors in a couple places. Sides left a bit to be desired, the peas and mushrooms were a miss (overcooked) and while the sweet potato looked impressive the pork belly was dry. Cocktails were on the sweeter side, so wine is probably the better play. Ambiance is traditional Boston vibes and quite lively given the Back Bay location. Overall, solid steak and service, but I'm not sure I understand the hype for the price.
