This is the best tour I’ve been on in a long time! The street and local atmosphere is something out of a movie, and the tour is very affordable and informative. The guide was fantastic, telling fun stories of his life in Boston and his 10 years working at the field. We saw everything from the original seats to the press box, the green monster, and the special VIP museum that holds World Series balls, bats, uniforms and memorabilia from over the decades. I would recommend this tour to anyone I know, especially baseball lovers. So worth the time and money!

Thanks to Kevin and Zach (apologise if I spelled them wrong) The tour was amazing! They provided clear and touchable introduction about Fenway Park, the immortal and irreplaceable history of Boston Red Sox, including each detail on and off the court, and what did here happened somethings that were truly iconic, and more little adorable sides of the park, such as Fenway Farm! I was impressed by every step I took without a doubt! It was worthy to take a tour here although there's no baseball matches now. Glad to be here to calmly know everything about Fenway!

We took a morning tour and it was beautiful, informative, and genuinely interesting from start to finish. The guide shared so many fun facts and behind-the-scenes details that really brought the place to life. Even if you’re not a baseball fan, the stadium itself is absolutely stunning—its architecture, the atmosphere, and the history behind it make the visit worthwhile. It’s one of those experiences that leaves you impressed no matter your level of interest in the sport.

We took a guided tour of the Fenway stadium. Booked just about 45mins before the tour from the kiosk at the Gate D entrance on the Jersey street. Great experience. The tour guide, Abby (if I remember correctly), was great - very informed as well as great style of presenting facts. With very long history and so many interesting things happened with the Red Sox, the tour was definitely worth it. We don’t watch baseball and have only elementary knowledge of rules but it was still very much easy to understand. Definitely to be done if you’re in Boston.

This was my first time visiting Fenway Park, and even though my team wasn’t playing, I knew I couldn’t come to Boston without checking it out. I’m so glad I did, the energy inside the stadium was incredible! From the moment I walked in, I felt the history and passion that make Fenway such a special place for baseball fans. The crowd was electric, and what really stood out was the sense of community. The entire stadium came together, singing songs, cheering, and living and breathing every moment of the game. I felt completely swept up in the excitement. We just so happened to be there for the game the Red Sox clinched their spot in the playoffs with a walk-off win! The stadium absolutely erupted. I’ve never felt that kind of excitement at a ball game before. You didn’t have to be a Red Sox fan to appreciate the moment. Being there for that walk-off and watching the team celebrate was something I’ll never forget. Fenway isn’t just a place to watch baseball it’s a place to feel it. The atmosphere, the history, the energy it all makes for an incredible experience.

A great stadium for baseball games and concerts! Went to see a concert here the other night and had a great time. Security getting in was easy and signage to find our seats was pretty straightforward. There were a good number of concession stands and bathrooms. For a concert it wasn’t the best sound quality ever, but it was good. It’s a great venue, we’ll definitely be back!

Fenway Park — The Last Living Cousin of Tiger Stadium, and Absolutely Worth Every Second I’m a sucker for old ballparks. Tiger Stadium was my all-time favorite, and walking into Fenway Park felt like stepping into the closest thing left on earth. The creaking seats, the narrow walkways, the painted steel beams, the deep green everything — it’s baseball history you can touch, smell, hear, and immediately fall in love with. THE TOUR — DO NOT SKIP THIS We did the Fenway tour, and it was hands-down one of the best ballpark tours I’ve ever been on. Affordable, easy to book (we grabbed ours 45 minutes beforehand at the kiosk by Gate D), and absolutely packed with stories. Our guide had that perfect Boston mix of humor, personality, and “I’ve worked here for a decade and seen everything from curses to walk-offs” energy. The tour covers it all: • Original wooden seats • Press box • The Green Monster • Monster seats • VIP museum with World Series bats, balls, jerseys, and memorabilia • Fenway Farms (yes… they literally grow food up there) Even if you don’t know baseball, the tour makes the place come alive. And if you do know baseball? Prepare to be full goosebumps the entire time. GAME DAY — Fenway Doesn’t Just Host Baseball, It Feels Like Baseball Even if your team isn’t playing, you come to Fenway for the atmosphere — and it delivers. The minute you walk in, you instantly feel like you’re part of something bigger: • The crowd is electric • The low ceilings and tight tunnels make everything feel louder • The sense of community is unreal • Every cheer bounces off the steel beams • Every seat feels like it’s sat thousands of fans over a century We even caught a playoff-clinching walk-off win once — and I swear the energy could’ve powered half of Boston. You don’t have to be a Red Sox fan to appreciate moments like that. THE AREA AROUND THE PARK — Pure Baseball Energy Fenway sits inside an entire neighborhood built around baseball. Bars, restaurants, old ticket booths turned into exhibits — you can wander for an hour and still feel like you haven’t seen it all. THE IMPERFECTIONS (aka: The Charm) If you want modern comfort… this is not that. • Seats are tight • Some sections have obstructed views • Cupholders are basically a myth • Screens are old-school • Half the ballpark ends up in shade depending on where you sit • You’ll bump knees with strangers • You will not have “legroom” — that concept didn’t exist in 1912 But honestly? That’s what makes Fenway Fenway. It’s supposed to feel old. It’s supposed to feel cramped. It’s supposed to feel legendary. FOOD & DRINK Classic and exactly what it should be. Fenway Franks are a must (even without onions). Chicken tenders, hot dogs, steak and cheese — all solid. Plenty of beer stations and surprisingly reasonable lines. Vendors still assemble the hot dog right in front of you. That alone is worth the price of admission. FINAL VERDICT Fenway Park isn’t just a stadium — it’s an American landmark. It’s baseball preserved in amber. It’s the closest you’ll ever get to the Tiger Stadium magic again. Whether you’re a diehard, a casual fan, or someone who just appreciates history, Fenway is a must-visit. Do the tour. See a game. Explore the neighborhood. Stand in the same spots legends stood. Feel the century of baseball echoing around you. One of the true Meccas of MLB, and a bucket-list stadium for every baseball fan.

I have wanted to visit for years and I finally got my chance. What a wonderful museum. I truly enjoyed that it was organized the way she wanted and that won't change. I found it refreshing that there weren't descriptions posted on everything because I'd recently felt that, for me personally, I was spending more time reading and less time observing. The courtyard is delightful and unifies the whole museum, the floral design was beautiful. Thank you to all the helpful staff as well. I'm looking forward to my next visit

A really fun art collection housed in a beautiful building! Each room has its own theme and pieces are grouped how Isabella Stewart Gardner originally arranged them. There are only a few information signs, mostly explaining the rooms theme. If you want specific information about pieces there are QR codes to access audio guides. The garden is a highlight that you can see from multiple vantage points on each floor. We visited at 12 on a Saturday and it was very busy, with the blue and yellow rooms on the first floor having lines to get in. We spent about 2 hours and got to see every room. Definitely a great visit, but next time we’ll try a weekday for less crowds.

Amazing I’ve been dying to come to this museum for 5 years now and finally I was able to see it. The collection is extensive and gorgeous. The garden transports you to a calm and serene place. I spent about 30 minutes looking out into it and admiring it before continuing with the rest of the museum

Buy timed tickets in advance to make sure you get in. The variety of different types of art she collected makes the museum very unique. There are 3 floors so you need at least a few hours to see everything. Also, if your name is Isabella you get in for free. The restaurant is about $25 if you want to eat on site. This museum was a highlight of our trip to Boston. Be sure to watch a video before going (on YouTube etc) about the art theft if you are unfamiliar with the story.

Stunning. The amount of pieces of art, the variety of her collection, statues , tapestries and the history alone from the 1990 robbery makes this place worth the visit. The garden is breathtaking and the building is so beautifully built with marble staircase and the multiple rooms, one leading into the next - all three floors giving you so much to see! And they're now trying to uncover more art from the ceiling! There is even a whole section dedicated to the works of Allan Crite! General admission was about $22. Most definitely worth it! I recommend watching the Netflix series about the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum called: "This Is a Robbery: The World's Biggest Art Heist", a documentary about the 1990 art theft. The series explores the unsolved case of how two men stole over $500 million worth of art, including works by Rembrandt and Vermeer, which have never been recovered.

An extraordinary museum with a unique atmosphere that feels more like stepping into a beautiful home than a gallery. The courtyard is breathtaking, the art collection is diverse, and every corner tells a story. A peaceful yet inspiring place that combines history, architecture, and culture in a way unlike any other museum. Truly unforgettable.

Sublime experience to fill one’s heart with beauty. Masterfully curated. The breathtaking museum represents a life filled with appreciation for the arts, literature, architecture, and so much more. Magnificent delivery on the contemporary welcoming. The restaurant is exquisite. Shout out to the staff for delivering on positivity.

Aria’s MBTA Station Review! Yay MFA Station! :D It’s a station and that’s about it. No timers either so you’ll have to look up the train eta. I can usually board for free though so that’s cool Its a train stop 2/10

I’ve been there and it’s an a great experience to be, you will watch arts and precious painting, architecture and treasures from all over the world 🌎. The atmosphere is amazing while you are inside , love the place and the sights inside

Our Museum of Fine Arts is a treasure and I'm always so happy to see so many visitors from around the world. Yesterday was the 150th birthday celebration and admission was free. Many families with well-behaved young children were there also, so nice to see people of all ages enjoying art!

A beautiful museum, inside and out.

EXCELENT!!! Huge place with collections for every taste: modern, classic, egyptian, roman, greek, american, european, orient, you name it... We spent the whole day there, it wasn´t enough to see all, I will certainly be back there next time in Boston Great food with affordable prices in the ground floor cafeteria (there are at least 2 others plus a restaurant).

The stop has plenty of seating. Very easy to access the platform from either side of the street.

One of the preeminent museums of the country. Many unique and outstanding exhibits. A must visit for museum enthusiasts.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Magical Day at the New England Aquarium! I absolutely loved my visit to the Boston Aquarium! From the moment I walked in, I was surrounded by incredible marine life and beautifully designed exhibits that made me feel like I was stepping into an underwater world. The highlight of my day was definitely the sea turtle — such a magnificent and graceful creature. Watching it glide effortlessly through the water was truly mesmerizing and peaceful. Another favorite was the seahorse exhibit. I could have stood there for hours watching those delicate, whimsical creatures sway and twist around the coral. They’re so tiny, yet so full of personality! The entire aquarium is thoughtfully laid out, making it easy to explore while learning so much about ocean conservation and the importance of protecting marine habitats. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the animals they care for. I also appreciated how clean and well-maintained everything was, from the tanks to the viewing areas. Whether you’re visiting Boston for the first time or you’re a local looking for something special, the New England Aquarium is a must-see destination. I can’t wait to go back again soon!

So I will preface this review by saying I have been to over a hundred zoos and awuariums over the last 6 years. This aquarium is pretty decent. A good variety of different fish, and overall they do have as good a layout as they can with the space they have. Pros: Variety Bright colored exhibits Good signage about animals Cons: Price for size Very tight space inside Bad signage on where to go next Again, I liked this aquarium, but for $40+ bucks I would like to have not been shoulder to shoulder with everyone else there. I also feel like the "Sharks" exhibit is a joke, and some of the exhibits talk big, but then fail to deliver.

This aquarium was really awesome. The turtle was super active and we happened to come during feeding time. The octopus was also active during our visit. But arguably one of the coolest things was the shark eggs that were back lit. You can see the embryo moving within the egg. Overall it was a great aquarium experience and I would recommend.

We visited the New England Aquarium after our whale watch was canceled due to weather during my daughter’s birthday trip. Since we couldn’t change our train tickets, we decided to do the Aquarium + Duck Tour combo. For the price, I would honestly recommend a CityPASS/GoCity pass instead—you get both of these attractions plus several other Boston essentials for about the same cost. Be aware that Aquarium tickets (if purchasing the Duck tour/Aquarium combo tickets) must be printed at the IMAX Theater before entering, which wasn’t clearly communicated. The Aquarium itself is mid-sized compared to many others we’ve visited along the East Coast. Still, the animals appear very well cared for, and they do excellent work with rehabilitating and releasing injured marine wildlife. The staff were wonderful—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. I do wish there were more kid-engagement activities to spark interest in marine life. They do offer a baby/sensory calm-down room, which is great for families who need it, but my children weren’t interested so we didn’t use it. The cafeteria food was decent but extremely expensive (an $8 SmartWater in a metal can was surprising). Overall, it’s a good Aquarium experience, especially if you enjoy marine conservation, but the value feels better when bundled with a city pass.

My fiance and I LOVED the New England Aquarium!! No kids yet, but cannot wait to bring the little one here soon! Such an amazing layout and awesome exhibits. The stingrays are so cute and friendly, the penguins, seals, and sea lions were sooooo much fun to sit and watch. It was a little crowded but not too bad for a saturday! We will definitely be back!!

It's a very nice aquarium, however, I have severe vertigo, so the dark lights and the slanted walkways make it a bit uncomfortable for me. When I tried to get the elevator, there is only one and we waited 25 minutes, and the elevator never showed. The theater was great, and I saw Shark Kingdom. It's a really nice Imax-like experience. The outdoor animal exhibit was also really nice. And, the view was incredible.

The New England Aquarium is worth the stop, especially if you’re already along the waterfront. It’s laid out in a way that’s easy to follow, with the big central tank pulling you upward floor by floor. That part alone is impressive. You can stand there for a while and keep noticing new things without feeling rushed. The exhibits are well done and clean, and the animals look well cared for. The penguins are a highlight and draw a lot of attention, but they deserve it. There’s enough variety that it keeps your interest without feeling overwhelming or repetitive. It works well for adults who actually want to read and learn something, not just rush through for photos. That said, it does get crowded, especially midday. If you don’t like tight spaces or slow-moving foot traffic, that’s something to plan around. Going earlier in the morning makes a noticeable difference. Some areas feel on the smaller side for how popular the aquarium is, but it’s manageable if you pace yourself. The location is a big plus. Being right on the harbor makes it easy to combine with a walk along the water, food nearby, or other downtown sights. It feels like part of the city instead of a standalone attraction you have to go out of your way for. Overall, it’s a solid, well-run aquarium that delivers what you expect without gimmicks. It’s educational, relaxing, and memorable without trying too hard. If you plan the timing right and don’t expect an all-day experience, it’s absolutely worth the visit.

Such a beautiful and peaceful spot! I could have stayed all day, especially with the perfect fall weather. I captured some amazing Boston shots during my mini photoshoot. While there were plenty of people and lots of photo-taking happening, there were also plenty of quiet corners to escape the crowds. Truly loved my time here!

The Boston Public Garden is a must-see! It's a gorgeous escape right in the middle of the city, and a perfect spot to relax and get away from all the noise. The trees are stunning, especially in the fall when the colors are just magical. I love watching the squirrels play and taking a stroll along the paved pathways. The famous Swan Boats on the lagoon are a charming sight, and the park is great for all ages. It's completely free to enter, open from dawn to dusk, and super easy to get to with the Arlington and Boylston T stops nearby. Don't forget to say hi to the "Make Way for Ducklings" statue! It's a beautiful, peaceful place that's perfect for a walk, a date, or just unwinding.

Boston Public Garden is a beautiful city park that delights with its natural beauty. An oasis of greenery in the heart of the city, it is perfect for strolling, relaxing, and enjoying the peace and splendor of nature. Its elegance and romantic atmosphere make it one of the most special and beautiful places in Boston.

We love this place! It’s serene and peaceful. This time around, we rode on the Swan Boat which was so nice since the last time we were here was in the Fall and the lake was empty. So glad we were able to check it out in the Summer. Be aware if it’s hot outside, the Swan boat is open so you are exposed to the sun and the elements, but you get a nice breeze from the water.

Loved visiting the public garden. It was so beautiful when we visited. Each tree has a history behind it and a plaque attached telling you where it’s originally from. Lots of space and great for families

Boston Public Garden, located just steps from Boston Common, is truly one of my favorite places in the city! The meticulously maintained gardens, iconic swan boats gliding across the lagoon, and beautiful walking paths create a serene urban oasis—perfect for a quiet stroll or a relaxing afternoon. The floral displays are gorgeously seasonal, and everywhere you look there’s charm: historic statues, shaded benches, and picturesque bridges. The lagoon view, especially at sunset, is postcard-worthy. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this spot is a peaceful escape in the heart of downtown Boston. Highly recommended for a peaceful retreat amid beautiful greenery—can't beat this gem near Boston Common!

A very beautiful garden in a very dirty city. This place was great to visit during my time in Boston, especially since everywhere in this city is filled with trash, more trash than I’ve ever seen in a city and that includes Seattle and New York. This garden was well kept, had so many places to walk and see it was just a great experience, do yourself a favor and check it out!

I had an amazing experience at Toro, but the bone marrow stole the show. Rich, buttery, and perfectly roasted—it melted on the toasted bread like velvet. If you go, don’t leave without trying it. Absolutely unforgettable.

One of the few places we got a day of reservation! Stopped in for Sunday dinner. My friend said it was her favorite sangria. 🍷The food was all delicious ! Loved being able to cut the octopus ourselves + it was so tender. The crab croquettes were good. The patatas bravas sauce was amazing - some kind of nutty squash flavor? The wings were well seasoned as well

Our meal started strong with the gambas al ajillo followed by the pulpo a la plantxa - one of the best octopus dishes I've had in a while. Extremely tender with a nice crunch on the charred bits, and the tart aioli and potatos it came with were excellent as well. Definitely some misses on the food though. The uni bocadillo was one. The miso flavor was quite strong and rendered the uni to just a briny aftertaste. Even if it was enjoyable, 22 dollars for a tiny pressed sandwich is a bit much. That seemed to be the overarching theme. I get it's Boston, but the quality just wasn't on par with the high price. If every dish we got was consistently good, the price would be more than justified, but as it is, it's a little steep. Would recommend the gambas al ajillo, pulpo a la plantxa, and alcachofa. The asado de huesos is solid if you're a fan of bone marrow. Would avoid the uni bocadillo and breakfast hash (pork belly wasn't really crispy and chorizo was sliced so thin it was dry and hard, otherwise on a bed of uninspired peas and sweet potato).

I couldn't wait till tomorrow to do this review. I haven't been to Toro in a while because of traveling, work, etc.. but let me tell you that I have been missing out on all there new addition. For starters, they have this Barata salad with Peaches and cucumber in a beautiful vinaigrette. There Tuna tartar, the crab meat Croquette and the list goes on. I don't want to make this review to long but I want to thank Jonathan for the Beautiful jester towards the end of the night you are a sweetheart. I kept telling him how delicious the salad and everything was and of course to give the chef my compliments. I also want to give a special thank you to Luis and the rest of the staff for always treating us like family . Toro will always hold A special place in my heart. I'll see you guy soon. And please go try them out you won't Regret the decision. Thank me later :-)

Great food and impeccable service! Our waitress (so sorry I can’t remember her name!) was amazing, gave us a heads up on portion sizes for each dish which was very helpful. Our water glasses were always being refilled, which is something I super appreciate! The fantastic service here really made our experience special. The highlights of our meal were the patatas bravas, costillos (ribs), and the maíz asado (corn). We loved the patatas and costillos so much we had to get another round! Next time we think we’d skip the datiles con jamon (dates) and the empanada because the portion sizes were just too small to justify for a group of 4. The filete a la plantxa (hanger steak) also fell a little flat for us, as it was a little tough and a bit bland. The sangria was also a bit watered down so I think we’d skip that next time time. Overall, great experience and will be excited to return!

Toro is a consistent spot to try interesting tapas and enjoy their great selection of wine. They recently added pintxos to their menu - we tried the shishito and chorizo. Their crab croquetas were delicious with a special fried lemon rind on top. Front patio is dog friendly too!

Toro Boston is basically Spain’s love letter to my taste buds 💌. 🦪 **Ostra (Oyster)** – Slurped it, felt classy, instantly became a better person. 🥔 **Patatas Bravas** – Little spicy potato pillows of happiness. 10/10 would risk burning my tongue again. 🌽 **Maíz Asado** – The corn was so good I almost proposed to it. Charred, cheesy, and life-changing. 🦆 **Hígado a la Planxa (Foie Gras)** – So rich it should come with a trust fund. 🦴 **Asado de Huesos (Bone Marrow)** – Basically buttery beef candles for my bread. 🍔 **Hamburguesas** – Tiny burger, huge flavor. Like if a slider went to culinary school. 🥩 **Filete a la Planxa** – Hanger steak so tender it practically apologized for being cut. Verdict: Toro isn’t just a restaurant — it’s a personality test. You either leave stuffed and happy… or you did it wrong.

We had the best date night at Sarma! We didn’t have a reservation. We showed up on a Thursday night. Because we were flexible on sitting at the bar v. a table, we waited about 10 minutes (faster than the estimated wait). We were able to order a drink right away. It was the first time dining out in a while where we thought the food was so creative, delicious and flavorful. We especially enjoyed the cornbread, scallops, and crab dishes. The drinks were equally delicious. The service was great at the bar. The waiter asked if we had visited before and then introduced us to the concept and his favorites based our dietary needs/preferences. They asked about allergies. We had great conversation and vibes throughout the dinner. The environment colorful and bustling. Parking is limited so plan in advance.

This is an extraordinary restaurant! I feel this restaurant is the best in Boston! They use so many different herb! Tapas. All the dishes blended well . The employees are so friendly. Our waiter was Alexis tonight. He gave us a great experience.

I truly believe all the praise Sarma receives is super well deserved. Our expectations were dangerously high going in and Sarma exceeded on all fronts! The food, drinks, and service were all exceptional! Food: All the plates we ordered were all so unique and flavorful and it was such a treat exploring them. If only we had the stomachs and wallets to try everything on the menu. Our favorites were definitely the cornbread, the brussel sprouts, and the Cajun lamb kebabs. The first bite of every dish always got us perked up and excited to try more! Also the drinks we tried were a hit with everyone! Service: This was a perfect service experience! The staff checked in frequently and effectively, always quick to deliver on requests. The plates came and went so smoothly allowing you to focus on the food and the people you’re with. Atmosphere: The energy felt so celebratory! The decor and lightly immersed you in the dining experience giving you so many interesting and beautiful things to yet your eyes wonder on. Though there was constant chatter, we could easily hear everyone in our 5 person party because of the quieter background music and the spacing of the seating.

Great place, cosy and vibrant. Food is fun. Make sure to make a reservation 3-4 months in advance if you don't want to seet at a bar. Bar seats are limited, come before 5 pm and be ready to stand in line for a bit. But it is definitely worth it. Drinks are also very good.

This was one of the hardest reservations to get, so our expectations were very high — but unfortunately, the experience fell short. The appetizers were noticeably better than the main courses, and sadly, many of the dishes were overly salty. We ordered quite a lot to try a good range of the menu: Avocado muhammara, fava bean pâté, Cuban-style pork, the famous cornbread, fritters, sugar snap peas, Brussels bravas, halloumi, fried zucchini, lemon beef, BBQ duck, lamb sliders, and for dessert, loukoumades with brown butter coffee and corn butter cake. The standout dishes were the cornbread, sugar snap peas, lamb sliders, and BBQ duck. The sugar snap peas might have been our favorite bite of the night — perfectly balanced and flavorful. The cornbread was outstanding as expected: salty from feta, spicy from jalapeños, and slightly sweet — all in one bite. Incredible balance. However, found a hair in last bite of the cornbread, which really ruined the experience. The staff handled it professionally and removed the item from the bill, but for a restaurant of this caliber, it’s simply not acceptable. The BBQ duck had good flavor, but half the pieces were quite tough while others were overly salty. The lamb sliders reminded me of a sandwich version of an Iskender kebab — well-seasoned meat with yogurt sauce that nicely balanced the richness. Unfortunately, several dishes were almost inedible due to saltiness — especially the fritters, lemon beef, fava bean pâté, Cuban pork, and halloumi. The avocado muhammara and fried zucchini were fine, but not particularly memorable. For dessert, the loukoumades with Turkish coffee sauce were excellent — the sauce paired beautifully with the fried dough. The corn butter cake, however, was underwhelming. Overall, the experience was lackluster. Service started off great but dropped off after we ordered — it was hard to find our server, and check-ins were rare. Also, the drinks were mediocre, and the “Turkish coffee espresso martini” was particularly disappointing, arriving without much crema or foam. After waiting years to finally try Sarma, it was a letdown, and unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll be returning anytime soon.

The food is excellent. Service is good. The atmosphere is a little tight, but it's fine once you have a drink 😂 We were hoping to be offered the chance to order the fried Chicken that's off menu, we weren't that lucky. 🫤

Sarma has been on my to-go list for Boston for a while as it is the talk of the town, and securing a reservation was no small feat. So when I finally got the opportunity to go, the restaurant did not live up to expectations. The Gyro bread was very mediocre and should be included in the meal as any other regular restaurant. The various dishes we got we're mediocre and over priced for what they were. (Harissa Lamb, Lamb Kofta Sliders, Scallops Mozambique, Gyro Bread, Ricotta Babaganoush, and Tunisian Birk Tacos)The atmosphere and lack of any reasonable parking were major drawbacks as well. The service however was kind, prompt, and very professional. Overall the buzz around Sarma doesn't seem to be warranted and it is quite overpriced for what it is.

The line for Neptune is literally all-day, but most def worth the wait! Smaller parties of two or less are more likely seated faster and sooner and with other small parties, which we didn't mind at all. Oh yeah, we were a party of ✌️. There was a party of eight in front of us and by the time we finished eating they were still waiting. It's a small spot AND had excellent service and food was great! We had a late lunch/snack before dinner and the portions were great. We finished everything. I think I'm used to the lobster in the roll being more buttery, but it was still good. My bf doesn't really like seafood much, but he loved the yellowfin crostini and wanted more. We would definitely come back again the next time we're in Boston.

Hands down, arguably the best seafood restaurant in Boston! Super fresh, generous portions! I usually go for the lobster roll, but the sea bass, lobster spaghetti (omg I’m still dreaming about this one), uni toast, raw oysters are all divine! Everything tastes like the ocean, everything is perfectly cooked. Super friendly service - shoutout to Jillian that really made our day! The only negative? No Rez… first come, first serve (which is really democratic…), so go early and try to snag a table! Your patience will be rewarded!

Absolutely worth the wait! Neptune has a cozy, charming vibe—even though seating is a bit tight, it just adds to the atmosphere. We waited about an hour and a half for a table for three, but it was worth it. The oysters were incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced, and the lobster roll was out of this world—100% recommend! If you’re not feeling seafood, the 16oz bone-in ribeye is amazing too—juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. These guys need to expand!

Be prepared to sit shoulder to shoulder with a stranger, but the amazing food makes it worth it!! I walked in on a Monday around 5pm and luckily was able to skip the line for a seat at the bar. The octopus was definitely my favorite of the night. It's grilled perfectly and served with tender pieces of cauliflower. The lobster roll was pretty good too. I ordered it hot and it came with a really generous portion of lobster meat, though I wish I had opted for the cold version for some more flavor. Come with a small group, definitely no larger than 4.

We waited around 15 min, and the queue got super long after. The oysters are a must, I loved how they have a list of oysters and clams and their taste profile so you can choose which one would you like to try. The price is reasonable and there’s so much variety. The razor clam is flavourful, and lobster roll is fresh and warm with juicy meat. The lobster seems to lack a bit of taste, which might be just our luck. Fries are great. The calamari is not particularly great or boring, but for the price point I expected more flavour with the batter and sweet squid. When it’s special for the night and not in the menu, make sure to ask for price so you don’t get a shock at payment.

Pretty cozy place. You don’t have to wait if you go for lunch in weekdays. One of the waiter was emotionaless looking hence 4 stars but the rest were super friendly. Oysters are fresh and clam chowder were super flavorful. Lobster roll unfortunately was a bit below expectation in a sense that it’s a bit overcooked and bread was not toasted

Food is good, not sure if it is truly “worth waiting an hour for”. Beers are not listed on the menu and was a surprising $13 for a pint for my visit. Black sea bass was delicious and so were the raw oysters and clams. Service was excellent

O Ya was good, but definitely not mind-blowing. We’ve had better sushi in a landlocked state — which says a lot. For the $825 we paid, the experience just wasn’t satisfactory. The sushi was fresh and well-made, but nothing particularly memorable or unique. At this price point, you expect something more elevated. It would feel more reasonable if the pricing were adjusted. The physical space also left a lot to be desired — we were seated at a bar table that felt old and worn, and my chair was wobbly. There was little attention to detail, and the atmosphere didn’t feel refined or special. Honestly, I would’ve been happy with the experience if it had cost about half of what we paid.

Sat at the bar and had the full omakase experience. Dinner is expensive for the full set menu and additions, but the quality of the fish is excellent. Very unique fish and flavor selections tailored to adventurous sushi eaters.

O ya, oh yeaaaah Food: extra fresh Sauces: so flavorful I drank them like a soup Seating: a bit tight at the bar but as long as you like the person ypu're seating next to it's fine The view: if you're at the bar (which is half the restaurant), you'll see the chefs prepping the food. If you are at a table, all you'll see is whoever you came with. Would definitely not recommend if you don't like sushi. Currently betting that they will get a michelin star.

Truly incredible. The ambiance is fun, the service was excellent (shout out to Tim), and the food is absolutely outstanding. This is definitely not your traditional omakase, but an omakase that creatively enhances each bite with new and unique flavors. Truly the best meal I’ve had in Boston. Would highly recommend the bar seating as it is so fun to watch the process happen. Also, we had an allergy and dietary restriction and they handled it so smoothly and confidently. We also were able to watch the vegan/vegetarian bites get made and they also looked incredible.

Our dinner at o ya was INCREDIBLE. We wanted to return the second we left and will be spending many birthdays eating here. Across our party someone tried the wine pairing, sake + wine, and sake pairing. All were excellent but the wine only pairing was the favorite.

O Ya had been a restaurant that I'd wanted to try for a long time, but it did not deliver on expectations. While many of the 20 courses served were excellent, some were not so good. On top of that, the atmosphere of the restaurant is not that of traditional omakase and it detracts from the special experience because it is so much more impersonal. The service was good and our server was very polite and helpful. At the extremely high price point and non-refundable reservations, O Ya simply cannot compete with alternative omakase restaurants in Boston.

Amazing occasion restaurant in Boston! Very knowledgeable servers/hosts, delicious courses & accommodating to gluten dietary restrictions. a 2-2.5hr experience that is worth it.

We were a group of 4, so we tried 10 savory and 4 desserts ($300 for 4 with gratuity but no drinks). The cost is important because it creates expectations. The ingredients are amazing, the menu is great but unfortunately everything you order will not blow you away. Things we loved: cornbread, tuna carpaccio, mushroom salad, scoop of the day (corn ice cream). Things that we may love in the future: little gem salad, beet salad, potato with trout roe. Miscellaneous aspects the restaurant could easily improve: seating reservations on time (we were seated ten minutes late), the gratuity 20% and kitchen fee 3% should be communicated before we order, air conditioning (it's not good enough).

Dreamy woodland atmosphere with fresh, light delicious dishes all made with local ingredients and served by a super-friendly staff! Cozy space that’s great for a date night. Menu appears seasonal so dishes here represent summer offering. We particularly enjoyed the beef tartare and chilled beets, but everything we tried was delicious, striking a nice balance in flavor and highlighting the fresh local ingredients.

Excellent meal and atmosphere. Went her for my partners birthday. Outstanding, friendly service, food was great, place is really cool, not loud but enough noise, nicely spaced tables despite being small. We loved it. The food tasted like food, you could taste all the subtlety of it. Bravo.

Excellent spot. Food and service were amazing. Would definitely go back again. We loved the black sea bass, the yellowtail, the squash, the cornbread and the walnut cake. Every dish was delicious.

Had a fantastic dinner at Field & Vine last night. Such a charming restaurant - lovely vibes, warm and attentive staff, and incredible food. They know flavors here, and it shows in every dish. The Cantaloupe Salad was a revelation: perfectly ripe, sweet, and juicy melon, with salty, acidic, and umami elements in flawless balance. The same can be said for the Heirloom Tomatoes dish. The crème fraîche panna cotta was genius, and the whole plate was outstanding - with so much weight resting on the quality of the tomatoes for it to work this well. They’re working with exceptional produce and ingredients, and this was evident in every dish. Without going dish by dish through everything we ate, I would just say that a few other outstanding dishes later, plus a round of delectable desserts and Field & Vine shot to the very top of my “Best of Boston” list, joining a small, elite group of restaurants. I’m mad I waited so long to go, and I have a lot of catching up to do. Don’t make my mistake - go now - you will love it!

Absolutely delicious food in an intimate, warm dining atmosphere. Lovely date night. The broccolini, fried monkfish and grilled bluefish were all spectacular. Gorgeous presentation on all plates. Service was also top notch. Server routinely checked in, cleaned off the table halfway in while clearing some plates, topped off water and kept a bottle on the table too. Very nice. Will be back again soon!

The service and atmosphere were very nice, but food is uninspired and lackluster. Specifically would not recommend the gnocchi (all you can taste is oil) or the sausage (it's a sausage atop a very basic tasting bean stew for $41 after 20% automatic tip). If anything, get the squash curry and the swordfish.
