About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Fancy
Owner Brian Piccini is proud of his award-winning Restaurant & Bar, Deuxave in the Back Bay. The inspiration behind the restaurant’s American Nouveau Cuisine is seasonality, with a focus on working with the finest farms and purveyors, sourcing out the freshest, local ingredients and amplifying their magnificence. The cuisine is strongly rooted in the nouvelle techniques of contemporary French cuisine, married with the splendor of American ingredients in a refined, but casual setting. Deuxave’s (pronounced doo-ave) name plays homage to its location at the corners of Commonwealth Ave and Massachusetts Ave.

    Poor training of the team led to many errors. Wine list not updated led to not starting the meal for 1:30hours after sitting down.

    I loved the food. It was super good and the service was great. The thing that stole the show was the plating of the food. It was so creative and beautiful, it was truly art. As a teen that loves cooking I appreciated the detail and elegance of the food.

    This is a wonderful restaurant and overall I would highly recommend it. My only complaint was that I ordered their chicken dish which was cooked sous vide and should have been nice and moist. The chicken arrived and it was quite dry and when I mentioned it to our waiter, Paul, he just said oh OK and didn’t do much about it. The other dishes that were served were, a wonderful char dish and a pasta Bolognese that were excellent. We also had the duck pate and the French onion soup all of which were at the high standard that we were hoping for.
    DeuxaveResponded on May 18, 2025
    Debby, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We are disappointed to learn about the trouble on the chicken dish, but are glad to learn that you enjoyed the rest of your dinner. I look forward to hosting you again. All the best, Justin & the Team at Deuxave

    Perfect in every way and our server, David? Robert? - sorry can't remember already.....was professional and highly pleasant - we will ask for him upon our return. The fare was quality - not expecting a bargain - and the desserts were a work of art - and best, yummy. Lively with a great vibe throughout, inside and outside. Our GoTo s were Menton (a tad uneven) and then #9 which we thought was always stellar - but everyone knows the sad story there. Deuxave wins by reputation consistently now.

    The atmosphere is nice and quiet. Overall the food was good to fair, however the French Onion Soup (for $29) was not hot, all the dishes were very salty and the Filet/Steak was dry. The duck entree was very good, but again on the salty side. The service was average to fair and the wine list is extremely overpriced. We were there to celebrate two graduations and they did surprise us with two deserts gratis. Overall it was good, but given how pricey the menu is, we expected a higher quality food and service.
    DeuxaveResponded on May 13, 2025
    Rebecca, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review! We will pass along the note about the temperature of the 9-Hour FO soup to the kitchen team and ensure we are maintaining our standards. On your next visit, I strongly encourage you to ask for the sommelier to find the perfect bottle of wine, as we make it a priority to carry wines in every pricepoint, not just the luxurious fine + rare bottlings. For your next visit, feel free to book with me directly at justin@deuxave Until then, all the best! -Justin & the Team at Deuxave

    Food was delicious; the restaurant's willingness to accommodate a seating error was extraordinarily poor. My fiance and I booked a celebratory reservation for the tasting menu through OpenTable, electing to eat later than we'd like as it was the only time a standard table was available. We arrived and were seated at a high top, of which there are only 4 and they are shoved between the front door and the bar. It was noisy, and felt like we were at a busy bar - not an upscale experience to suit the expensive meal we had selected. Once I confirmed I had in fact booked a standard table, I asked the hostesses if they could reseat us and was rudely looked up and down and told no. No other options provided. They told us OpenTable indicated we had booked a high top, but my email confirmation from OpenTable said otherwise. Our waiter gave us the option to be seated outside, but it was a 50 degree night. They did provide a free beverage, but it did not make up for the fact we ate our pricey anniversary dinner in a bar atmosphere. Our waiter did the best he could to make our experience positive. The food was outstanding. Had we been seated in the dining room as we had reserved I'm sure it would have been one of the most excellent dining experiences we've had. But we are unfortunately completely soured on our night at Deuxave due to the lack of accommodation for their error, and will not be returning.
    DeuxaveResponded on May 18, 2025
    Emily, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your thorough and honest review. I am grateful that the kitchen team was able to showcase their talent with the food that evening but am disappointed to learn that we could not make up for your seating arrangement. It is the truth that this previous Saturday was our busiest service since Valentine's Day, and we had virtually no 'wiggle room' to make changes. I know that Trevor tried is best, but I understand there's no clear subsitute for ambiance. It would make me enormously happy to be able to host you again for a formal table in the main dining room and getting it pefect the second chance. When you join us again, please email me directly at justin@deuxave so that I may make arrangements. All the best, Justin & the Team at Deuxave
