Tapas Restaurants in Boston, MA

“The Dungeon Master Roll the Dice“

“Xavier was the best! We came in on a quiet Sunday night to celebrate a birthday, and he brought us a delicious tres leches cake with a candle! It was an awesome surprise. We loved the Good Vibrations drink, it comes with gin but he had it replaced with vodka to better suit our tastes. Xavier is a great server, very intuitive and attentive.“

“Just had an okay meal here. Vibes and atmosphere were nice, but the food did not live up and we were disappointed with how long the end of the meal took. They were clearly short staffed, as we saw our server running around trying to help all of her tables and so we do not blame her—she was great! It just shouldn’t take 30 minutes to order dessert after receiving the menu. The meatballs and ham & cheese sandwich were my favorite, but still a 4/5.“

“My absolute favorite restaurant in Boston. Was my favorite when I lived here and continues as my favorite must-have when I come back to the city. The food is always phenomenal - favorites include the jamón ibérico (it’s like if meat was candy!), gambas (shrimp), setas (mushrooms), dátiles con jamón (essentially bacon wrapped dates), maíz (corn, I recommend getting “off the cob” for less mess/zero hand holding), the empanada, and the cod croquettes. But you really can’t go wrong!
But on top of the outstanding quality of the food, you must also consider the incredible service and people who work here. Jonathan at the host stand is beyond welcoming and helpful. Bartenders Oscar and David are gems, always attentive enough to know you’re cared for. And so many more, never had a bad experience in my many times here.
Could not recommend more!“

“Love the back bar and service was 10/10“

“Charming old school beer hall. Sadly, it was damaged in 2018 due to a fire upstairs, and never re-opened. As of early 2019, the building appears to be for sale, so it looks like the closure may end up being permanent. :-(“

“I always have fun in this place. Amazing terrace for sunset and drinks at a decent price. They are very chill and don’t discriminate so you can find everyone across the board from tourists in their shorts to people dressed up. ID is required at door.“

“Garlic shrimp was highly rated by many. I thought they were good but not exceptional. Calamari was fresh but again not special. Fried monk fish bites, mushrooms toast and short ribs flatbread were good. Sangria was a bit on the sweet side but good overall. It was a v generous large glass of it. Service was good, comfortable, attentive and not overbearing. I would go back and try the paella next time.“

“Had my first visit to Bootleg Special last night and it did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“Exceptional service and superb food and drink! Very cozy and comfy atmosphere!“

“Used to live in Boston, and we just stumbled into here on vacation. The bartender knew all of the history of the place telling us how it was a speakeasy, and even went downstairs to take a couple pictures for us. My new favorite bar, but I live in San Diego now. I will go back next year. Although it was tucked away on a side street, I will find it easily. I wish I could remember our bartenders name he was GREAT ! The night of September 16th 2025 .“

“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.“

“It is always dependable and delicious“

“I celebrated my 52nd birthday today with my daughter. Our service was amazing. I recommend this place to everyone“

“I tried the greek salad with tzatziki and chicken. It was DELICIOUS! The food as well as the drinks (iced tea and lemonade) 11/10 for me. The location is modern and clean but somehow a little too clean. Could be a little more in a Greek design and more welcoming.“

“Amazing food, great atmosphere. Ordered the Buttermilk Pancakes with lemon whipped cream and sausage, my partner ordered the Croque Madam. Would highly recommend all of it. What a great place!!“

“Delicious casual meal. All about the food. It's fantastic.“

“Rose is a fun and vibrant place! The space is larger than I thought upon entering. Service was indeed amazing (compared to other reviews). I will say that we did enjoy the tapas menu better than our entrees. The drinks were great and we loved that they were willing to make drinks not on the menu. The live DJ just added to the ambiance and yes you will be dancing in you seat haha. My girl enjoyed the birthday surprise with the tres leche cake which was actually good (and I don't let tres leche).“

“Came from Georgia to visit and I absolutely loved the environment. All the waiters were great and drinks were good too. The guacamole was to die for as well as the chips. I come from a Mexican town and this place was on spot, I felt very welcomed. They also had a Banda which was great.“

“We enjoyed ourselves so much we returned for another visit the following night. The food, service, vibe and music were all excellent. Our waiter on Saturday, Issam, was fabulous and ensured we had a great time. So glad we discovered Fete, we will definitely return!“

“I wish I could recall our bartenders name... he was great! Knowledgeable about his craft of providing well made cocktails. Locations like this are hard to find in a sea of "bars". If you are looking for an upscale cocktail experience stop in, you'll be glad you did!“

“Had a group of 8 meeting for brunch before some in the group's afternoon flight out of Logan. Honestly, our expectations were not high, but we were thoroughly pleased. I had already known about the incredible view of Boston, but Dee and the rest of the staff were attentive, accommodating and very pleasant. Food was very good and priced reasonably. This is a hidden gem!“
