50 Best Wine Bars in Boston

“Never disappoints. Small plates and a few entrees. Extensive wine offerings. Superb service.“

“Phenomenal food, wine, and service. Some the best food I’ve had in Boston.“

“We visited haley.henry on a Friday night around 5pm. The staff (starting with Hannah, then met Ann Marie, then Meg) was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We sat at the bar and had the loveliest time. The atmosphere is warm and inviting.

The tinned tuna belly with toasted bread made us so happy and easily enough to come back for. The octopus in garlic and olive oil was insane, however. This is the place I'm coming back to every time I visit Boston. What a special place.“

“My favorite wine bar, specially for after work drinks or girls hangout! Wonderful wine selection, including great orange wine options. Tasty small plates to go with your wine. It’s great for wine and tapas but not really a dinner place in my opinion.“

“What a gem! Super approachable, super service, super variety... it really is super bien! Pop in and grab one of their empanadas when you're waiting for a table in Charles Speedway. Or, sign up for one of their wine tasting classes (wine and hot dogs, anyone?!!). Or cozy up at the bar with your favorite person and try one of their expertly curated wines. Oh -- don't forget to grab a lil something from their ready-to-go deli fridges: flan, salads, all sorts of fresh goodies.There's no bad choice here: you'll have a super bien time :)“

“Great experience, our waiter Brian gave us Great service and recommendations. The food was AMAZING! Steak melts in your mouth!“

“Ambiance and ambiance and beer and beer“

“I attended an event yesterday at this amazing Restaurant. The atmosphere is so inviting, the drinks were delicious. Food was absolutely scrumptious. And the staff all so kind and friendly. I highly recommend stopping in for a cocktail or dinner, you won’t be disappointed!!!“

“Kati was an excellent server. I would come back, the Atun Canario and Gambas are my favorite. Everything was delicious.

Vegetarian options: Very good vegetarian options offered

Dietary restrictions: N/a“

“Food delicious!! I told them they stole my sauce and meatball recipe! Best meatballs ever“

“First time here and the shrimp tacos were delicious! French fries were thin and cooked perfectly.“

“One of my favorite spots in Boston. The tasting menu is constantly changing according to seasonal ingredients, all of which are locally sourced. The tasting menu is always 6 courses. Vegetables and fruits are usually at the forefront of dishes, but fish and meat are the main course. Everything is always delicious. Nothing pretentious here. Just simple ingredients cooked with great technique to fantastic results. Desserts are also super creative and always finish strong.
Service is always super friendly and top tier. . I am a regular and they make feel feel like I'm at my second home wherever I come.
I highly recommend everyone try Asta. I assure you, you will be become a regular too!“

“Awesome place, food is great“

“Frenchie is a beautiful brunch place with delicious food. We enjoyed the lobster Eggs Benedict, Salmon Tartare, and White Truffle Croque Monsieur. Unfortunately with the way the tables are structured this is not a place one would go to for a conversation. It is very loud.“

“Very Energetic! Bartender was fantastic“

“Great menu and friendly staff! Definitely coming back!“

“Overall it was a good experience. The environment was not bad, but the dining table was not big. Maybe that was the reason why the plates were cleared in time. Foie gras with apricot jam and bread go well together. It is commendable that the waiters were very attentive.“

“Easily top 5 restaurants in Boston. Everything is fresh and delicious. Some of my favorites are their homemade olive oil, the duck wings, short rib lasagna, and the skillet cookie. Haven’t had a single thing that didn’t wow me. That first bite of the short rib lasagna put a huge smile on my face though, it’s just that good.“

“The potato pancakes were crispy on the edges & soft in the middle. Delicious!“

“I loved the spaghetti here, and everybody loved the food too! Thank you, we will come again!“

“Staff were so kind! I got the lobster Mac n cheese and it was worth eating as soon as it came out, I would burn my tongue just to have another bite. The dining is fancy but comfortable, my food came out fairly quick. It was definitely the nicest restaurant I’ve ever been too, I was a bit anxious but that’s just me. I would recommend this place for dinner, if you want a nice night out then this is a place for you! My waitress’s name was Addy and she was very patient with my younger sibling, if you do see this Addy then I just wanted to say you have been one of my best waitress’s!“

“I just devoured the Cubano sandwich...absolutely delicious, and perfectly satisfying. And now I get to kick back with a cup of what is unquestionably the best coffee in town. MAN, do I love this place.....“

“Wonderful food and great service in an amazing setting!“

“I have to say it, this restaurant is amazing.

1. The service is great, well trained and polite.
2. The food is out of this world, I’ve had the duck highly recommend it).
3. Great drinks ?

“It is always dependable and delicious“

“Great Bastille day celebration, awesome specialty drinks and the food was great. Service was good, surprising as the place was packed.“

“Delicious food and great ambiance! We will come back!“

“Went here for a special occasion and everything was fantastic. The food, service, and dining room were all outstanding. I have to comment especially on the service, I called ahead of time to let them know I was there for a special occasion and when we got there the hostess went above and beyond to make us feel special.“

“Very nice venue with a view of the water and downtown. The food and drinks are always good and worth coming back. Getting to see the kitchen, food being made is unique unlike other restaurants. The only negative is parking, you have to have luck with street parking.“

“Sonsie is a gem of a bar located in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. This place offers a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and a well stocked and maintained bar. I had the burger and a spicy margarita, both were excellent! While the food was great, the highlight of my evening was the friendly bartender who made my drink! Dilan is an exceptional bartender and a has the charisma and personality to make conversation with anyone and make you feel right at home!

Highly recommended Sonsie for a night out at the bar with friends, or an energetic date-night dinner.“

“Great 1st experience! We chose it because we spent a few weeks in Greece this summer and wanted a reminder. The food was very, very good. The server was super helpful and very nice/funny. The whipped feta and olives were a great starter and the linguine and clams were tasty! Overall a great Mediterranean meal!“

“Amazing, and good portion sizes! Very satisfying and good atmosphere that I found romantic. Having it in old city hall was interesting.

Wheelchair accessibility: I did not see a ramp, only found the stairs. Luckily not many.“

“The food is good even though my order today was totally different from what I ordered of the same thing a few weeks ago but all in all it’s good customer service could be a little bit better, but it is what it is“

“Lucia Ristorante has been my favorite Italian restaurant since 1979, when I was in Boston for medical school. I haven't lived in Boston for over 40 years, and I have not found another restaurant anywhere to rival its mix of neighborhood charm and superb Abruzzian cuisine. Vitello carrozzella is my favorite, and have failed miserably trying to reproduce it at home. On a recent visit the service was spot on, but our charming host Frank declined the opportunity to share secrets which might improve my results. The North End seems to be thriving after the Big Dig, and I am relieved that Lucias remains and neighborhood fixture and well worth a visit!“

“Wait staff was very attentive and kind.“

“Authentic Italian food directly on the Freedom trail. Salud!“

“I visited this place for a girls' night, and it was great! I believe it’s connected to Lucy’s and Chubbz, both of which are excellent restaurants. The atmosphere is very trendy, and the menu features American cuisine with a variety of handhelds and delicious appetizers, along with some amazing cocktails. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu.

One standout feature was their specialty cocktail, where they donate $2 from each purchase to a community project. A cocktail with a cause is a great concept, and it's refreshing to see restaurants giving back like that! Overall, it's a great spot for a friends night out, or to catch a game.“

“I just devoured the Cubano sandwich...absolutely delicious, and perfectly satisfying. And now I get to kick back with a cup of what is unquestionably the best coffee in town. MAN, do I love this place.....“

“Appetizers were good. Mushroom tacos and the drinks and the empanadas. But the main dishes were just OK. Not bad not great. But OK.

Pass on guacamole, get the fried riceballs, andmpatatas braves. pass on arroz on pollo.

Steak was great and the sides.“

“We love staying at the XV Beacon & so end up dining at Mooo Beacon often. I have to say the food is always yummy & cooked well. There’s be couple of times when our orders got confused but they always make it right. Salads are fresh & steaks are really yummy! Definitely recommend Mooo Beacon!“

“Great service. Delicious food.“

“Great place/restaurant to spend time with friends and grab a bite/have lunch or dinner!“

“Went here for my first time for my birthday with my kids and husband. I can’t believe how small they are compared to how it looks online. Regardless, we had a good time, good drinks and good food. We ordered a good amount of food and we waited less than 20 minutes for it. Everything came out so fast. I was impressed! The first drink we ordered we didn’t like (Morning in Miami) and the manager was nice enough to switch them out for us without giving us a hard time. Steve and Niko were our servers, and they did a great job. Very attentive, and always making sure we were okay. For the size portions, I feel like they are a little pricey, but the food was good, so I will be coming back. I wish they had better music to vibe to.

Kid-friendliness: They had pizza, french fries, and chicken tenders. Perfect for kids.“

“Everything about Limoncello’s is terrific. I started back in the early 2000’s having lunch when visiting family that lives in Chelsea. Then we came this past summer for my son’s 10th birthday. We dined there Friday and Saturday night this past weekend because my son loves it so much. If you haven’t tried it, then get there! It’s the best I’ve had in the North End! Maurizio is a gentleman and his family treated us wonderfully. Chico is a great server and LuLu is quick witted, kind, and BEAUTIFUL! Every staff member was great…especially one person that really made my boy feel special.“

“Everyone was so friendly and great food. I love seafood and I am glad they had it. I glad they closed their kitchen late at night like 11 pm. I could enjoy a meal without reservations. Excellent five stars for me.“

“Always amazing food and service!“

“I absolutely love this place for casual drinks. It's quiet, service isn't obtrusive, and the espresso martini is to die for. I love all of the other cocktails I tried too.

Most days it's not terribly busy so you can grab a seat by the door, which lets you people watch all you want. It's fun to see people milling into Mike's Pastry across the street.“

“Beautiful restaurant, excellent service, late night menu with limited, but delicious options! Everything was great, except for the bathrooms. They were unbelievably filthy, trash everywhere, disgusting. Management needs to have someone empty the trash and clean up every so often.“

“great coffee!!! great vibes“

“Food was outstanding; great service“
