Reviews Sonsie

We enjoyed A delicious Sunday brunch. The skinny mimosa was delicious and everyone in our party of 4 enjoyed a different meal. Our server was attentive and accommodated special requests without blinking an eye. We'll be back!

I took my girlfriend for a weekend birthday brunch, and Sonsie pulled out all the stops. Mimosas and donuts on the table when we arrived, amazing coffee and English muffins, and the best quiche lorraine that we had ever tasted. To top it all off, the manager Tara was so great, bringing out a decadent chocolate bread pudding and espresso martinis to help us celebrate the occasion. Everyone was so great to us, and it is now officially my favorite Boston brunch spot! We will be back for every occasion.

This place was Awesome!!!! I had steak and eggs. Roasted tomatoes where to die for. Steak cooked perfectly!!!!!!

This was our 2nd time at Sonsie for brunch. We are from CT and visited Boston once a year for the past 4 years. The food is delicious, service is great and the prices are right. We all loved the warm mini blueberry muffins and the mimosa's, of course!

Sonsie has a very quaint atmosphere. Each table is for two each looking out the huge front window onto Newbury street. The food was very good and there were some unique items on the menu. One item was a bacon and egg corn muffin. When you cut the muffin in half, there is an egg inside. My daughter had the French toast and loved it.

Great food great atmosphere! Had pizzas and they were delicious. Highly recommend this place if you're in the Newbury area in Boston

Great night - short rib and pappardelle above expectations. Amazing desserts. Oh and the "Hemingway Daiquiri" cocktail was the best I've had in a long while. Definitely the place to spend Valentine's Day.

We had cocktails and dinner last night. The weather was nice and all the windows were open. Such a nice vibe. We started with fried calamari to share. For dinner I had tuna nicoise and my husband had pork Milanese. We also got some crispy fries which were great. All dishes were exactly what we had hoped for. My husband had a Maine beer Lunch which is a favorite of his. Our server was very attentive. Can’t wait to go back!!

Great restaurant on upper Newbury Street. Try to go on a warm evening-the entire front of the restaurant opens to the street! The calamari was delicious. I really liked the Pork Milanese with greens. And they have Maine Beer Company’s Lunch-what beer drinking person doesn’t love that!

If you’re looking for a solid spot to enjoy a meal on Newbury Street, you have to check out Sonsie! Sonsie has an incredible menu full of international cuisine. They utilize a brick-oven to bake their pizzas and focaccia. The menu is incredibly unique and there is something for everyone! The menu offers a wide variety from a variety of cuisines. They offer a great selection of small plates on the dinner menu. Fresh oysters and tuna tartare is on the menu for the seafood aficionados! They also boast about their house-made Gyoza/Dumplings. They have three varieties: pork & ginger, lemongrass chicken, & shiitake mushroom with kale. The gyoza is made fresh in-house! The sesame soy sauce is highly recommended for dipping! In addition to that, they also offer hand-stretched, brick-oven pizzas and focaccia. If you’re in the mood for a larger meal, they have a solid selection of pastas, seafood, roasted chicken, burgers, and more! If you’re a dessert person, the menu is a bit limited in that regard. They also have a small selection of soup, salads, and sides. We decided to stop in to enjoy dinner on their outdoor patio. Unfortunately, they had moved service to inside with the French-doors open. It was like sitting outside, the breeze was phenomenal. The music was bumping and the bar/restaurant got more busy the later it got! They do offer a late-night menu that consists of their brick-oven pizzas & their House-Made Gyoza Dumplings. They’re one of the few spots in the area that serves this late. We started with the Crispy Calamari to share. The portion was generous. The Crispy Calamari was cooked perfectly, not overdone or chewy like many places. It was served with giardinaire and a cucumber-yogurt sauce. The cucumber-yogurt sauce truly elevated the dish. I actually requested our server complement the chef, as it was a new twist on the menu item. We LOVED it. We also ordered a “Margherita” pizza to share. The pizzas here are hand-stretched and baked in a brick oven. I have never seen a crust so thin, it is phenomenal! They utilize house-made, fresh mozzarella on the pizza. The sauce is fresh san marzano tomato. They finish it off with fresh basil. A typical pizza here is six-slices. Their beverage/mixology program is also spectacular. We both ordered “The Dana”. Citron vodka, lemoncello crema in a glass with a sugar rim. The drink hit all the right notes, incredibly smooth and delicious. Mixed perfectly! The service was top-notch. The waitress was excellent, always ensuring we were well taken care of and that our water glasses stayed full. She was quick and efficient. She even checked to ensure nobody had any food allergies. Due to the amazing service AND food, we will certainly make this one of our regular spots! The service is spectacular! The service and quality of the food TRULY earned 5-Stars. If you’re looking for a late night bite & a solid beverage, they’re open until 1AM on Saturdays!

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! Edit April 2023: Apprently they changed the avocado toast, it looks like a more common and delicious combination of ingredients. Also adding photos of the croque monsieur and blueberry gem salad that we had this time, they were all great.

Small but powerful dining experience. Food was well crafted and our waitress (Yazlinda) and host were super kind. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience and will certainly attend again!

My husband and I had an amazing time. Our waitress Yaz was wonderful. The food was good, but the service drives the experience. Never an empty glass or a wait to ask a question. We have been many times and will continue to in the future. My recommendation is to walk in and ask for Yaz, you’re surely in for a great experience!

This is probably my favorite place in the city. Everything is great here - the atmosphere, the location, the food, the drinks, the service. I have not had a disappointing meal here yet! The salad nicoise is SO good. I appreciate that the cocktails are switched up every now and then. Next time you're on Newbury st, or just looking for a new place to venture to in the city, definitely give Sonsie a try!
