It was my partners birthday and I was able to opt into their birthday package which comes with a cupcake and balloon for $10. It was worth it! The cupcake was gorgeous and my partner said it was very good quality cupcake. The ambiance was also gorgeous as always. I love how they decorated the restaurant! Perfect for an event or gathering. Totally photo worthy.

Great meal and service…read more Our waitress was phenomenal and extremely accommodating for our kids regarding food they'd eat - getting us a plate of off menu chicken fingers. The food was very good. Octopus - Octopus is my favorite meal, and this is one of the best examples I've ever had. Steak tips - cooked perfectly medium rare, overall dish great Oysters - shucked clean and fresh Chips and salsa were great, no notes. Lobster empanada - crispy on the outside, soft and creamy inside, very good Fish Tacos - good fish tacos, nothing earth shattering to write home about - paled in comparison to the tapas. Dole Whip - great Churros - very good, they were small donut things not the traditional long churros, the mezcal chocolate was great and the vanilla cream too.

We've Found a New Favorite!…read more Sabina Mezcaleria - Back Bay What a wonderful find! Sabina Mezcaleria is a cute, cozy restaurant with impeccable, genuinely warm service and absolutely incredible food. We always prefer eating at the bar--it feels more personal and less transactional, and we've met so many wonderful strangers that way. Last night reminded us exactly why we love it. Luis, our El Cantinero, took us on a spectacular journey through the world of mezcal and tequila. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does. We learned so much from him about tequila and mezcal, and he made the whole experience feel like an adventure rather than simply ordering drinks. And then came the food! I had the Enchilada Mole, and the mole was beautiful--deep, complex, rich, and perfectly balanced, without that powdery quality you sometimes find in lesser versions. The Chicharrones were enormous, thick, and cooked perfectly--almost melting in your mouth while absolutely exploding with flavor. Then came my favorite: the Empanada de Maíz. We had the one with chicharrones, beans, and mozzarella, and I almost cried. Seriously. SO flavorful, with this delicate little crispy coating on the outside that made it extraordinary. From Luis and the bar experience to every plate that came out of the kitchen, this was just an exceptional evening. Warm, intimate, delicious, and memorable. We came up from Providence by train, and Sabina alone is worth the trip. We've found a new Back Bay favorite--and we will absolutely be back!

I must admit that based on some other Yelp reviews I was expecting the food to be ok but I was so very pleased because everything we ate was absolutely fantastic!!! I didn't take any photos but will say that the following were FABULOUSLY delicious and very much worth ordering. Esquite Tostada Cuadrito de Lechón Mini RibEye Tacos Guacamole with RibEye Chicharron You will need 4-5 of their small plate sized apps for 2 of you to share. BTW I always try to have a Michelada at Mexican restaurants. I ordered at Sabina with a Modelo and theirs was fantastic. All that being said, highly recommend this great place on Newbury Street.

Two of my work colleagues had suggested we all meet up at Tamo for HH and dinner. If you're craving…read moredrinks, want convenience, with great bar service, this Restaurant is it! I'll have to say, it's pretty quaint, great ambience, so many tables and a huge bar wide enough to fit your whole entire group. Menu selection is pretty extensive, you'll find something for yourself. All of us were in the mood for an adult bevy, yet all of us were in the mood for grub. Went in craving for pasta or maybe pizza. I knew I had a big appetite. Some items that we ordered were French fries, pizza, but I was in the mood for steak frites. From a customer point of view, it was one hefty serving of steak. I also had a few glasses of red wine. There were about 3-4 servers at the bar, it was easy to grab 3 bar stools during the middle of HH into the hours of dinner time. Restrooms were super nice and super clean, prices were expected as Boston is a very expensive city to live and visit. Being from Honolulu, it was just about the same, or even more. Tamo also provides Gluten Free, Vegan, Dairy Free, Vegetarian options. They also source locally for fresher produce, eggs, fish and meat, supporting local farmers and reducing carbon footprint. They also produce their own honey used in different menu items and cocktails. I didn't know this helps the environment. All in all, it was a great experience and l'd definitely recommend this restaurant if you're wanting great service, convenience, great atmosphere and amazing food.

A vibey spot for tapas! My friend and I tried a few different ones and they were all pretty good,…read morealthough we noticed a couple of items were a bit overcooked/burnt, including the patatas bravas. That may be the way they're supposed to be served here but I didn't like that part. The service was super friendly and the food was brought out quickly. I loved that the staff were all wearing Spain jerseys to celebrate the World Cup win! One last thing I didn't like: there's a QR code at your table to pay your bill on your phone which is convenient, but they tack on a sneaky $2 platform fee if you use it, and it takes some extra effort to have your server actually bring you the bill to avoid that. Two bucks isn't a big deal but it's the principle! I'd rather put that amount towards the tip.

This was my second visit to Boqueria, once for a late dinner and another time for lunch, so I feel…read morelike I got a good sense of the restaurant. The vibe is definitely one of its strengths. The low lighting, music, and stylish décor create a fun atmosphere that's great for catching up with friends or enjoying a night out in the Seaport area. The service was wonderful on both visits. The servers were attentive, friendly, and made the experience enjoyable. The drinks were another highlight. I tend to prefer sweet, fruity cocktails, and the lychee drink was right up my alley. I'd happily order it again. As for the food, it was... average. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. During dinner, we had the paella and the steak. On my lunch visit, we tried the roasted chicken, patatas bravas, garlic shrimp, and the ham and mushroom croquettes. Everything was perfectly edible, but I'd rate each dish around a 3/5. We ate because we were hungry, but none of the dishes left me wanting to come back for them. Overall, Boqueria is a great place if you're looking for a nice atmosphere, good drinks, and excellent service. If you're going primarily for the food, though, I think there are better options. I'm not sure I'd return to eat, but I'd definitely consider stopping in for drinks.

I can remember that the patata bravas were probably some of the best we've ever had. Service was great and they remembered us the next day when we ate next door at their sister restaurant. Super cute place to go out to eat with friends or date night.

Really great food! Came early (5p) on a Sunday so we didn't have to deal with too many people. Had…read morethe following: - beef cheeks - octopus - patatas bravas - grilled shrimp - pan con tomate with anchovies - crab salad pintxos All of the plates were delicious! The pintxos were a bit small for the price, so those might be the only things I would pass on next time. The beef cheeks were delicious and reminded me of a common Korean braised beef dish, shrimp were grilled wonderfully, and octopus was cooked perfectly. The octopus comes with a lot of potatoes, so you end up with a lot of potatoes when combined with the patatas bravas. Would definitely recommend!

It's worth a try if you're adventurous. The brûlée was average. My wife absolutely loved the short rib. I liked it and I'm not even a fan of balsamic vinegar. The beignets were good. Note for Chase Sapphire Reserve card holders... this restaurant is on the Open Table Reserve list, which can be a nice perk.

The bread that comes out has a rosemary butter on the side, which is really good. Steak Meatballs (7/10): crispy on the outside. good but not the best meatball I've had. Streak Tartare (8/10): loved the texture of the chips it came with. flavorful. Mushroom risotto (6/10): usually love risotto but this missed the mark for me. Chocolate Cake (9/10): star of the show in my opinion Apple Pie (8/10): the pie part tasted like a churro, which was unique and delicious. In my opinion, it's a little overpriced for what you get but worth a visit if you're looking for a restaurant to try in the North End.

We wanted to start with the frozen espresso martinis but they were out so we ended up trying different drinks- I had a spritz that was refreshing and my friends had the coco Rita & the lemon blueberry Tini- we had two rounds of drinks before the frozen drinks were ready again. They tasted like a mudslide/milkshake so was a nice finisher to our night here. We had snack throughout our time here. The mezze platter was OK, the cauliflower was gross and flavorless, the cheese was iffy. Really we just munched on the hummus and the pita bread. The oysters were decent! And the spinach artichoke dip was also fine- not the best but not the worst. I did really enjoy the pita bread. Really people come here for the view and a drink- I would skip the food and eat elsewhere. Sidenote- the bathroom lighting was immaculate lol

Girl NExt Door was perfect for it, and we sat at the bar, The bartender was friendly and a few people that worked there stopped by to say hi, and check in on us. Ironically, the people next to us at the bar were complaining about everything from Service to the Drinks to the food when it came out. I was skeptical and wondered if we made a mistake. (We did not) - We had apps, and mine were the sliders, pictured in this review. They were served in an appropriate amount of time, we perfectly cooked, and topped with a pickle, and served on a Hawaiian roll. As it was hot and busy, I just went with an Ice Tea - my friends went with adult libations with no complaints, and the same with their apps. The bartender apologized that things were slow coming from the kitchen as they had a surprise Health Inspection and that slowed things down. It was not that long, and it was a busy day in Boston. The staff were so attentive and funny. In busy times, that helps. I think the people next to us made such a fuss, they were gun shy. It was all good and busy as one would expect with the Tall Ships in Town.

There wasn't a candle on our table and the chandelier directly above our table was off so the area was too dark to see anything, including the menu. It was so dark that the server couldn't tell how close the black table was so she kept accidentally slamming the glasses/bottle. We requested to move. Better choice. I couldn't tell if the food was good because we were both hungry. My girlfriend also noticed last night that the skinny young server with glasses did not wash her hands after leaving one of the stalls. Aren't employees required to do so? I mean, you should that in general. We asked for the check immediately.
