- KKatherineVIPGreater Boston •9 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoConsistently delicious food and welcoming ambience. Service was impeccable and warm. There are good reasons why it’s hard to get a reservation! So grateful we were able to start the year off there!More infoKrasiPrice: Expensive• Greek• Back Bay•4.8
- SSoniaGreater Boston •18 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoSat at the bar for brunch, served by an excellent bartender--a real craftsman--patient explaining the ingredients of the cocktails. Drinks and food was terrific. My only minor criticisms are that the seats at the bar essentially have no backs and are horribly uncomfortable. There is no reason chairs with backs can't be used. Secondly, they offered no black tea, only herbal. I'm not a coffee drinker, but needed that morning caffeine and no tea option was available. Again, no reason not to offer that, especially at brunch.More infoBar VlahaPrice: Moderate• Greek• Brookline•4.8

- SsHARAGreater Boston •4 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoGreat meal. 3 of us ordered 5 dishes,which might have been 1 too many for our group (1 larger eater; two smaller eaters) Typically it can be noisy but they say us at a banquette in corner across from the bar, so the noise level (6pm res) was quite tolerableMore infoAlden and HarlowPrice: Moderate• American• West Cambridge•4.6

Discover Boston
Beantown, dubbed for the baked beans that put the city on the map, is about far more than beans these days. Local restaurants channel the region’s farm-to-table traditions and celebrate the iconic seafood of New England’s coast—no trip to the region is complete without a proper lobster (pronounced “lob-stah,” steamed and served with butter and corn on-the-cob), freshly shucked oysters, fried clams—you name it. Hometown to a handful of internationally influential female restaurateurs and the inimitable legacy of Julia Child, who called Cambridge home, Boston will always be a city where liberal sensibilities meet a global approach, in politics and on the plate.
