Sonsie

“I had such a special experience here this week. Right when they opened, they asked if I'd like to sit at the front windows, and I immediately said yes. I ordered the clam chowder, caesar salad, and mocktail. Everything was addictingly delicious. I had the sweetest most wonderful server. He checked on how the food looked as it was served and after a few bites as well. I've always liked Sonsie but this special experience with the food, service, and great view made me love this restaurant so much. I can't wait to go back.”

“A very large, busy restaurant especially during the Boston Marathon build up period. I was with a party of seven and everyone was very happy with their meal. I particularly enjoyed my salmon on a bed of green vegetables. Our server was friendly and efficient and I would certainly return.”

“Waitress was nice. It was a little busy but not full. We sat in the very front so it was a bit chilly. Hubby had the expresso martini with Bailey x 2 and said it was one of the best he has had. He had the rib eye and it was nice and tender for well done. I had the bolegnese. It was ok. Not much meat and pasta was slightly under cooked. The chocolate bread pudding was delicious.”

“Brunched at Sonsie on a Sunday and were seated right away—huge plus. Food was hit or miss: breakfast sandwich was just okay (bun too soft), but the potatoes were great. Salmon plate was a bit light on the bagel, though the vinaigrette on the greens was delicious. French toast was the standout—crispy, not overly sweet, and the whipped cream was perfect. Coffee was mediocre. Vibe is casual chic, great for any occasion. Loved the open seating for people-watching and soaking up the sun.”

“I ordered the ribs off the weekend special menu, looked like some kind of Korean fusion thing. And honestly? It looked the part, but that's where it stopped. The taste was a whole different story. The mint in the vegetables was so overpowering that it completely drowned out everything else on the plate. And the meat,,,way too fatty. I get it, it's ribs, but they just didn't cook it right. When you cook the fat properly, it gets all rich and delicious. This was just mushy and soggy. Especially with that kind of marinade, you have to get a good sear on it. They totally missed the mark. Such a letdown. It honestly felt like whoever put this menu together just tossed Korean food into the 'worst' category without actually knowing anything about it,,,, like they just didn't care. No respect for the cuisine, no effort in the execution. Really disappointing. Oh, and the tables by the window facing the street? Absolutely filthy. So much dust just sitting there. I've been to plenty of places with a full serving staff, and I honestly can't remember the last time I saw tables that dusty. Kind of shocking, honestly. And to top it all off, we got there around 4:10 and placed our order, but the pizza still hadn't shown up by 5. We literally sat there waiting for almost an hour. The server told us the oven was still preheating since they had just opened. But literally right before that, we literally saw that guy, some old dude with slicked-back white hair, walk out and hand a pizza straight to a group of construction workers on the street. And that pizza? Looked exactly like the margherita we ordered. The excuse made zero sense. We just looked at each other like, are you serious right now? We ended up just canceling the order. Absolutely not worth the wait.”
