My company and I were here a couple of weeks ago and the food was alright. Our waiter seemed really awkward and nervous and you would have thought he would take advantage with a big group like ours willing to spend some cash. He didn't really check on us and often times we were trying to find him to...

I went for an early lunch with two family members recently in October. The day was warm and sunny, so the dining patio was full. We were seated further inside the dining room but with a clear and open view to the patio and Newbury Street beyond. The decor was appealing and very comfortable.

Went there with a friend because she recommended me the place. We both were disappointed with the food, but mostly with the service. We got the fettuccine and also the crispy noodles; they both were quite bad. The waitress was careless from the beginning and never offered more water or a second drin...

Great large scale cafe/bistro in Old Boston. We had a party in the wine room downstairs and the food, as well as the staff, was first class.
The place was packed upstairs, so I recommend calling ahead for a reservation. Everything here is first rate!!!!

While unassuming, I've never been disappointed here. Their fish, especially the salmon, is par or better than Atlantic Fish on Boylston, yet much less expensive. It can get very noisy here at night on busy evenings making it very hard to hear conversation. They somehow think that blasting music at n...

My favorite things to get are the espresso martinis and oysters. Went for the first time after quarantine and the experience was slow and appreciated. It was a nice kick back as we enjoyed our drinks and oysters. The oysters were fresh and delicious.

We ordered the package 1 and 2 meals for Easter Dinner (Ham and Lamb). The restaurant was spot on with timing for pickup. They provided instructions on what temp to reheat things at and timing. The food was delicious, and on point (especially enjoyed the raspberry tart).
The problems we had was th...

Staff was not very helpful when we had a problem. "Homemade" pasta was no better than store bought out of the box and for a pasta dish without a protein the portion was ridiculously small. One of the signature drinks, strawberry elixir somethingorother tastes like Robitussin cough syrup. Most defin...

Interesting food. I appreciate large portions, but this was not a place with huge portions. However, the olives appetizer was surprisingly big and good (at least 30 olives). Fig pizza was interesting. Place is quite loud and a bit dark. It's in a fun location, and the front opens to the street

Absolutely disgusting food and horrible service. We were served water with cups that were not washed. My cup had someone s left over lipgloss on it. Server did not apologize when I asked for an exchange and silently switched with new ones. The cuban sandwich was soaked in pork oil and unedible. The ...

Place was recommend, asked for a table for 6, knowing it might be busy...the hostess looked at me and said, hmmmm no, but the bar is first come first serve... we walked out. She didn't even look at her reservations, ask around for open tables or really even acknowledge us, just said no. We left, c...

Good place for brunch or dinner. In the warmer months there is a section that overlooks the street where they have an open storefront.

The food is good, but nothing amazing. Prices are pretty reasonable given it's location on Newbury Street. It can get crowded, especially when the weather is nice...

I, in fact, came back. I love this place and stop by rather often. Today, I wasn't in the cheeriest of moods. I was welcomed, my Benedict was grand, and Caitlyn kicked my sour mood to the curb. She even convinced me to try a Bloody Mary (my first). I enjoy it here... Late night specials or for brunc...

The atmosphere is good, but the food leaves much to be desired. The moules-frites was disappointing with the muscles tasteless and the fries served with ketchup rather than aioli. The skate was prepared like a piece of haddock. Sonsie is likely a good place to go for drinks, but it should be avoided...

Excellent lunch experience on Newbury Street. Roast beef sandwich was incredibly tender. We sat right in the front open-air section, great for people watching. You can fit three around the tiny oval tables but it is a little cramped.

I went to Sonsie for the first time in years. I went with my nephew and his girlfriend. Sonsie is a hip place for all ages. The best part was the food. Yum.
I don't remember Sonsie ever being this level of food excellence.
I can't wait to go back again!

Cool place to have a drink on a cold night! There is a blizzard happening outside while we were there were roaming the streets of Boston and ran across Sonsie, and it was perfect for bellying up to the bar having a few cocktails and talking with bartender. Very cool and chic environment with a great...

I was literally thrilled to be back at Sonsie last night. Have been coming here for years and am so happy they have weathered the storm this past year. Carly continues to make our evenings so much better when we are at the bar and the food (especially the Pizza) never disappoints. I can t wait to be...

Service was incredibly slow but my food was good. The rest of my group only somewhat enjoyed their meals but I also think they picked pretty boring brunch options. FYI they only seat you if your entire party is present, regardless of if you have a reservation or not!

I love the atmosphere but bad service can kill a place for me. The female bartender was very rude and belittling when we asked anything about menu. I thought maybe it was poor judgement but the man I was with on Oct 5th asked if we did something to offend her in a past life. Lol I gave 3 stars cuz ...

Sonsie is a mediocre restaurant in a great location. Reasonably well decorated, if a little dated, the space is comfortable. Unfortunately the food was decidedly average, not bad but nothing special. The service was terrible, we waited an More

Came in for dinner last night and was blown away with my experience! The food was ok but my server made up for everything. Jinelly was attentive, helpful, and super caring. She provided us with great recommendations for drinks and things to do after dinner. Would come back just for her! Quite a gal!

I love Sonsie because of the genuine care and attention I received from Cindy!! She s the best person that restaurant has and has the most in depth wine knowledge. She really creates an excellent atmosphere for guests; something I have never experienced before at Sonsie. So thank you, Cindy.

Can I give a one-star review if I haven't even tried the food? I don't know. All I know is that we had a terrible experience regardless.
Came Friday night with my friend around 11pm. It's a pretty big restaurant with a more casual seating area, fancier seating area with tablecloths, etc, bar, and s...

Ok service, but food was not very good. The little bread basket with blueberry muffins were dry and tastelessness. My Juevos Rancheros was a bunch of nacho chips with some beans and an egg on top. My friend's steak and eggs was cooked incorrectly and very poor cut of meat.

The prices here are fairly high, as one would expect. We enjoyed a couple pizzas, which were tasty, but not generously topped. On the contrary, the desserts were delicious, --I recommend the flourless chocolate cake or the tart for those who like lemon. The drink menu included an extensive list of c...
