Pairings Restaurant & Bar Review

Pairings at the Park Plaza
My Opinions:  It's a shame when a restaurant has prime real estate, and it doesn't make the most of it.  To eat here is not worth it , but to be fair, I did try it shortly after it opened so maybe it was a launching issue- Unimaginative menu - Average Service - They did a good job lightening-up the decor - Empty Bar Scene even though the drinks are fine (same as Bonfire) - I miss Bonfire's food - they did just introduce a sliders menu that seems to be getting good reviews. Try them during their happy hour before you go elsewhere for dinner!

Some Food/Drink Tasted:  Roasted Beet Salad - Hanger Steak - Striped Bass - Albondigas

Il Casale Restaurant Review

Il Casale

BOND Bar Review

BOND at the Langham Hotel
My Opinions: Service is Good - Interior decor is fancy and the ambiance is dark and sexy – They have a maximum-capacity of under 180 people, therefore it doesn’t get very crowded so your visits are hit-or-miss at this place – It is a good spot for private parties and the outside dining in the warm weather is a nice treat

Grafton Street Pub and Grill Bar & Restaurant Review


Grafton Street Pub and Grill
My Opinions: The food is is very good, but I'd skip coming to brunch here again – The service is decent – It's very nice to enjoy the outside seating in the warm weather – The bar can be very fun, but hosts a younger, college-age crowd
Some Food/Drink Tasted: Fried Calamari – Baked Macaroni and Cheese – Pot Pie – Grafton Burger – Pork And Sweet Potato Hash

Chez Henri Restaurant Review


Chez Henri
My Opinions: I’ve been dining here since I was a little girl – The service is formal yet friendly – The food quality is always upstanding – The bar scene can be fun, but the space is small - Location is slightly hidden and mysterious off of Mass. Ave., which adds to its appeal
Some Food/Drink Tasted: Charcuterie Plate – Butter Lettuce Salad – Steak Frites – Bistro Chicken

Alibi Bar Review

Alibi
My Opinions: Contrary to assumptions, it's not operated by the Liberty Hotel, just rented real estate – Outdoor patio is the best feature during the warm weather – I find the interior layout a bit congested – Table service is the way to go instead of waiting for the waitress for each round
Some Food/Drink Tasted: Jailbait Cocktail – The Walk of Shame Cocktail

O Ya Restaurant Review

O Ya
My Opinions: Tasting Choice is fun, but they should double the quantity given to two pieces per plate - The restaurant is small, so be sure to make reservations ahead of time ... and bring your American Express Black Card too! - the ambiance is romantic, so it's a great date spot, and a place that not everyone's been to - the bar can be nice to sit at, especially if you can't get a table to eat at, but Les Zygomates is across the street  and that's my preference for a social bar scene.

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Chef’s Tasting - Sushi (what else?)

Grendel's Den Bar & Restaurant Review


Grendel’s Den
My Opinions: Half-Price menu hours are great! The menu has a good variety of food and is very affordable - Wait staff is average, and gets the job done. The bartenders are usually the best company, so eat at the bar if you want good service – the Food is fine – I am not a fan of garden-level dining establishments – Interior is plain and the seating is close together due to the small space - People who come here are lively and typically a younger, college-age crowd
Some Food/Drink Tasted: Nachos Supreme - Quesadilla - Turkey & Harvarti - Hummus bi Tahini - Sebastian Sandwich

P.F. Chang's Restaurant Review

P.F. Chang's China Bistro
My Opinions:  Food is tasty and consistent - Service is decent - The wait for your table, reservation or not, can be long - the ambiance is social and casual-formal with a simple Asian Decor - Bar can be fun, but it tends to feel a bit too crowded for me - Try their happy hour menu currently offered 3-6pm

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps – Dumplings – Egg Drop Soup – Chang’s Spicy Chicken – Mu Shu Chicken – Sesame Chicken – Kung Pao Chicken – Mongolian Beef – Beef a la Sichuan – The Great Wall of Chocolate – Mini Desserts

Gypsy Bar Review

Gypsy Bar
My Opinions: Pravda was great, but the Gypsy Bar has definitely held its own - The jelly fish tank and fashion shows on tv are great eye candy - the back bar is where the dancing is and the lounge gets a lot of celeb visits - A place to be seen so dress up and get ready to flirt

Corridor 44 Bar Review

Corridor 44
My Opinions: I love the bubblies, and I was lucky enough to enjoy some flutes here during its opening week! The drink menu is fantastic with over 80 bottles to choose from. The service is friendly and it's conveniently located in the cozy block of Larimer Square.

Osushi Restaurant Review

Osushi Restaurant in the Copley

Yoki Restaurant & Bar Review

Yoki
My Opinions:  An unassuming Japanese restaurant that offers great sushi/sashimi - Staff is very friendly - Sitting at the bar is just as fun and service oriented as sitting at a table - It's a comfortable spot for the single diner too - Drinks are creative and good (definitely try the scorpion bowl) - Restaurant is a good size and kept clean. There is even outside seating in the warm season, but with minimal views ... on the topic, there is plenty of free parking in the lot, so it makes it an easy place to visit!

Radius Restaurant & Bar Review

Radius
My Opinions: A Boston-Classic in the Financial District, and one of my favorite restaurants to dine at - Service is impeccable with Food Quality and Flavors to match - I like the sexy room layout and simple/clean decor - Bar scene is very nice, even for the single diner/drinker, and it boasts a nice after-work crowd. Try the seating by the large windows to get a view of passerby's - I'm a big fan of Via Matta as well, a member of Michael Schlow's group of restaurants.

Scampo Restaurant & Bar Review

Scampo at the Liberty Hotel
My Opinions: The food is good, the service is fine and the chef, Lydia Shire, is famous ... the wait for a table, reservation or not, is atrocious, extremely frustrating, and should not still be happening since the restaurant has been opened long enough to correct this issue - The mozzarella bar is fun - Bar scene is fine and gets some overflow from Alibi and Clink - There is outside seating for dining and special events in the warm season.

Fleming's Prime Steakhouse Restaurant Review


Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar
My Opinions: This is a great steakhouse and meets all the expectations that come with a nice steakhouse – The service, cleanliness and decor are very good as well as the cuts of steak – Excellent wine list, including a nice selection of wines by the glass - Bar Scene can be good with an after-work mix, but as of late, the crowd has thinned

Marliave Restaurant Review

Marliave
My Opinions: This was one of those few successful restaurant re-inventions in Boston. With a minimalistic approach to advertising, this establishment's stayed true to their neighborly-attitude and retained their loyal customers while enticing new ones - They have upgraded their menu, so the prices are a bit higher, but still in the affordable range - Though seemingly more food-focused, Marliave mixes some excellent cocktails and a good wine list - The expensive truffle cheesy macaroni was good, and worth a one-time try.

Vox Populi Restaurant & Bar Review

Vox Populi
My Opinions: Decent food and strong drinks - The casual feel pulls a younger crowd and its Boylston Street location sets it up as a good pick-up bar at night - Typically a "meat-market" with more men than women circulating - Vox hosts a lot of events, usually with complimentary appetizers, so there's always a good crowd. They make it very easy to host an event as well. - Don't miss the upstairs section that has additional seating and another full bar - I love the 50 Carat Martini that comes with a stick of Rock Candy!

Neptune Oyster Restaurant Review

Neptune Oyster
My Opinions: Such a great seafood restaurant find in the lovely North End. The seating is limited and very tight, so bring your patience and leave your need for personal space at the door. Once seated, the service is casual, but good - The oysters are cold and fresh and the meals are naturally flavorful.

Pigalle
My Opinions: This is such a romantic neighborhood restaurant ...

Sel de la Terre Restaurant & Bar Review

Sel de la Terre
My Opinions: Everyone knows that brunch is my favorite meal, and I adore the brunch at Sel de la Terre - My favorite location is on the waterfront as it's been opened longer, I enjoy the 1-level layout better, the bakery as you enter the front is inviting, and the small outside dining tables in the warm season  - Food is delicious and the Service is formal and polite at all locations.

Orleans Restaurant Review

Orleans
My Opinions:  Located in Davis Square ... haven't been back in a little while since I frequent Boston, but it's definitely a place I'd revisit - Food is good with a selection of bar food and some entree dishes - the service is friendly and casual - the establishment does a great job catering to the local younger crowd. Trivia night is fun and participatory, they offer live music or a dj some nights, and currently they've even integrated Rock Band into their offerings on Sunday. - Outside seating in the warm weather is nice, even if it has a back-alley feel.

Some Food/Drink Tasted: Orleans’ P.B.T. – Cornish Game Hen – Chicken Rigatoni – Quesadilla - Nachos - Beer-Beer-Beer!
