The dirty pictures speak for itself! Manager accused me of using the F word with her and her staff which NEVER EVER happened! Truly unacceptable!!! Calling someone out for running a dirty place isn't a reason to accost guest!! Funny thing, I had a T shirt that was a gift from a friend that had a bars name, I guess I work there now. That woman manager is RUDE! You know who you are!

very nice restaurant in a perfect a d beautiful location. I like the feel of the indoor and outdoor feel to their dining. came here once before just for drinks and it was nice so decided to try it again. our server was really nice but you could tell she was very overwhelmed. she still did her best to be attentive as needed. however the food left much.. much to be desired. eveything was rather bland, bread and wonton chips were very stale. and we both got burgers and it was just not worth it at all. the bread was so much bigger than the burger itself, both were well done. but not impressed. the sangria were very good. might just stick to drinks here going forward.

Partner is a restaurant owner. Beautiful dining space. We loved the menu so much we couldn’t resist picking something from each section. Everything was delicious! Oysters super fresh. Grilled artichoke was perfectly cooked on a tangy humus sauce with green olives. Yum. Dumplings with mushroom and cabbage were rich and surprisingly savory. My soft shell crab in poke bowl was lightly fried with light delicate citrus flavoring. Hamburger with Manchego cheese perfection. Service by (short-haired) Sarah was friendly, attentive and efficient. Thanks so much for a delightful fine dining experience. We will be back. Highly recommend.

I went there multiple times for brunch. Most plates are very delicious and good in portion. But I did not like their avocado toast style, too much tomato sauce. Anyway, I d bring anyone visiting Boston to this place for brunch, very safe decision!

A fantastic local bistro with a crowd of a real social variety. The smaller menu was totally sufficient at midday, with pot stickers and a delicious burger. The bar was rowdy for daylight, but it was Sunday. And really only one boisterous Bostonian. Note: Costanza would NOT like these tiny bathrooms.

We were surprised we were able to get a table for Sunday brunch as this is a very popular spot. Latte and cappuccino were very good. Entrée options were all really nice, hard to choose just one or two. Portions were acceptable, you won't leave feeling overly stuffed. Breakfast Sandwich was nice as was the Avocado Toast. The Prosciutto and fig pizza had an excellent combination of flavors, though the toppings were a bit large so it was hard to get an even combination of all the flavors in any one bite. Overall a solid brunch spot.

The food exceeded both our expectations! Definitely on the pricier end but worth the experience. The ambiance inside was perfect for a date—the lighting, setup, etc! We ordered the tuna tartare, autumn pizza, and roasted bone marrow all of which were SO good. We especially liked the autumn pizza which had a lot of flavorful, unique toppings which went well with the super thin crust. The tuna tartare was also extremely fresh and the dressing was delicious! Super impressed overall. The service was especially slow despite there not being many customers, but our server was very nice.

Very nice quiet evening for a Monday night. Grilled octopus was delicious. Espresso Martini was...WOW! I don't typically drink but THIS I would order...again and again and again. Wow. The Sonsie Burger was fantastic. Super full of flavor and freshness. Although I have had fresher tasting beef. Still good. Always a good place to relax and chat

Sonsie has a nice date-night calm mature atmosphere— I would take my grandparents here to show them what American restaurants are like. We ordered a sangria pitcher but it tasted like water with a little bit of sugar in it—not strong at all for $45 to share among four people. However the food was good and there are a variety of options for everyone — staff was friendly enough, and overall it was a decent experience.
