"The food was superb. Deliciously prepared and presented. The best scallops in Boston and the strawberry shortcake for dessert is a must as was recommended by our waiter Christian who was most attentive and offered the best service I have yet to receive in Boston."

"My wife and I went to Asana for Restaurant Week. We had been to Asana on two prior occasions and loved the restaurant. The food and service had been outstanding during prior visits. During our most recent visit, the service was outstanding. The waiter was knowledgeable and friendly. The restaurant manager stopped by and was very personable. My wife and I both ordered from the Restaurant Week menu. The wine pairings were very good. However, the food was not very good. My wife barely touched her food. The appetitizer of smoked scallops was mediocre. The tuna entree was overdone. The chicken was simply not good. The dessert was forgettable. I understand the restaurant has a new executive chef --which may explain why the food has detiorated."

"My friend and I went here for restaurant week and the food, ambiance, and service was exceptional. I got the chicken consomme, the lamb, and the strawberry and lime trifle. Each were presented in a beautiful manner and they each tasted as delicious as it looked.

My friend cannot eat any meat or dairy and our waitress, April, who was absolutely wonderful and attentive, accommodated my friend's needs.

Thank you April and Asana for providing with us an amazing dining experience!"

"I have been wanting to try Asana for quite some time now and decided to try it during Restaurant week. Let's just say my entire party was very underwhelmed by the meals. They lacked flavor and were very tiny. The restaurant was lovely as was the service but I wouldnt go back."

"Pros: great location, great atmosphere.
Cons: the seating wasn't great, the booth was confortable, but the table was awkward, it was a little too high.
The menu was very limited.
Food and service were o.k."
