- OTOpenTable DinerSan Diego •3 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoTruly amazing! Jorge was great and so knowledgeable!! The food was incredible. We ate dishes we don’t even normally like and somehow Krasi’s awesome cooks made EVERYTHING fantastic! Would definitely recommend if you are in the Back Bay Area. Could only get a reservation for the bar but I think sitting at the bar is the best seat in the house! You get to watch them make every dish to order! Be sure to make reservations well beforehand. Totally worth it!More infoKrasiPrice: Expensive• Greek• Back Bay•4.8
- DDarrylGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThe overall dining experience there is tremendous and much of that has to do with an excellent manager named Sydney. From her greeting at the door to her recommendations of food and wine pairings, she helps distinguish service in this restaurant from many others of the same class here in Boston.More infoEastern StandardPrice: Expensive• American• Fenway–Kenmore•4.5

- KSKarenSGreater Boston •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoEat here TONIGHT!! This is a very unique restaurant- you won’t find this anywhere else! African fusion - yes that is very broad, but even menu has little blogs like a magazine talking about the diaspora and food anthropology of curry or coffee or spices along the silk road. It is an educational gastronomical wonder! Also in a cute historic building with great ambiance and side patios with cute lighting. Get over to Dorchester’s Uphams Corner! Congrats to this large culinary team for terrific food, non alcoholic fun drinks, cocktails/libations and desserts!! Good for families with babies through that romantic dinner you are planning!More infoComfort KitchenPrice: Expensive• Global, International• Dorchester•4.7

Discover Dorchester
With Dorchester's close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its views of Boston Harbor, it comes as no surprise that Dorchester is home to a number of restaurants offering classic New England fare, including clam chowder and lobster rolls. But Dorchester's dining scene goes far beyond traditional dishes. You can find a number of gastropubs that use a variety of ingredients, like fresh sea scallops and clams, in unique and creative ways. You can enjoy a vermicelli bowl at a Vietnamese spot or pair jerk chicken with a tropical drink at a Jamaican restaurant. With Boston being a home to many Cape Verdean immigrants, Dorchester also hosts restaurants offering authentic Cape Verdean dishes, such as fried yucca.
