We came here twice because it was an amazing experience. The first time we entered (wait by…read moredoor/come early) My hubby and i knew we were coming back with our newly legal-age daughter to buy her, her first drink from us. Night one we had an old fashion & the knee deep in passenger seat--both top notch! I paid more for my old fashioned earlier at the Ritz--this one was way better! With our daughter we had almost the rest of the menu: tropic like its hot, dirty gin martini, sour smash (gin) then mahattan, espresso martini & dirty shirley float. And she sent us celebratory house daiquiri shots with a bday candle. This is our new "go to" place. Emily & her team (Becca & India) were awesome hosts & helped us celebrate & remember this moment.

I really enjoyed my time here at bar Lunette. The place is small, but the ambience is so pretty …read more very dark Paris themed with glasses because of course it used to be a glass store lol it was really crowded at 8 PM but luckily my girlfriend and I were able to get seats and even for those who weren't able to get seats they still were able to get their orders and drink. I first had the live laugh louvre followed by the Nutella espresso martini. It was really good if only this place was bigger it would be great but I think it's because of the small ambience of it that makes it unique service was also prompt and courteous. I would come here again, but maybe on a weekday night or earlier on Fridays or Saturdays.

So i asked the bartender if this was the "soccer tourist" pricing upon immediately getting massive attitude. "A can of red bull is $5" he said.

I would go back just for that - crispy + slicing with scissors adds a whole other feel to it. I feel in control of my flatbread. Calamari was good but I'd choose the flatbread over anything. Can't go wrong with fig, goat cheese, and prosciutto. Emma didn't like the dill on there but I didn't mind. Enjoyed with a nice glass of white wine while we dined outside.

Parking in the area can be a bit tricky, but it's super convenient to get to via the Green Line, which made it easy overall. For food, everything was delicious: The Romaine & Kale Caesar was good, though I wish it had whole anchovies for a little extra punch. The prosciutto bruschetta was incredible, definitely a standout. The crispy cauliflower was my favorite dish of the night, so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The rigatoni bolognese was solid and comforting. The Chianti-Marsala braised beef short rib was insanely tender and cooked perfectly (just wish there were a few more mushrooms!). Also have to mention the dirty martini was so good. Overall, such a great spot with a fun vibe, amazing service, and really tasty food. I'll definitely be back!

There is literally fun everywhere you look from the panda stuffed animal riding a tiger on the wall to the hilarious shrek pillow. Coming right when they open I was able to see these things that you would likely not see in the evening. But to be fair I came right when they opened since it is first come first serve. A majority of the drinks were more on the savory side which was very interesting like "may all your bacon burn" with bacon bites at the top of the drink. The drinks my friend had were all stunning with the use of egg yolk to elevate the drink. We ended the evening by walking over to Bow Market and trying Viet Citron which was so DANG GOOD my gosh. The to go orders were insane but looks like they are doing very well despite recently opening in. I got the grilled lemongrass pork ribs bowl and youtiao and the side sauce was so good. The ribs were all very meaty. It looks small but I was surprised how full I was after having it. Nice night of drinks and food.

The snacks hit the spot, and the music and ambiance are perfect. I was able to enjoy the night while the Barlette team took care of all the behind the scenes details. I brought in pizza and cake and they helped with set up/clean up, and I was able to connect my phone to their speakers and play my own music. Whether you are visiting for a night out or hosting a private event at Barlette, I cannot recommend it enough!! Such a gem in Brookline.

They do both reservations and walk-ins but it's safer to make a reservation ahead if you can. It's pretty easy to make one as well; we only booked a day ahead for a Friday night. Amazing first impressions as well. They make a tiny space work perfectly; I did not feel claustrophobic at all even with full house. They have really cute decors and the space is decorated well. They have their seasonal cocktails that you can choose your choice of liquor for and martinis (both vodka and gin). They brew their espresso fresh as well so the space smells so good every time it is brewed. I got a Peru Plunder and it was fruity and light (a dangerous one). Their apple pie old fashioned has an interesting aftertaste in a good way. The bartender and the server were attentive and friendly as well. I had a great time and will definitely be coming back. -9.1/10
