    Delicious food and incredibly friendly staff! My husband loved his lamb. The rest of us enjoyed our vegetarian brunch treats.

    Love the food, great options. Was a bit noisy which made it difficult to conserve with my guest.

    What a great new spot in Boston. The food was incredible, especially the lamb chops and apps. The service was even better. Our waiter was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I would highly recommend and cannot wait to go back (if we can get another reservation).

    We sat at the bar, lovely menu with even better service. Get the mushroom starter. It's the place you want to share everything so you don't miss anything.

    The savory food was excellent and the decor was cozy yet interesting. The dessert was tasty and much more interesting than a standard throwaway dessert menu would be, but less well-executed than the savory food.

    Brunch at Bar Vlaha was a hit! The service was impeccable (as always). I brought to my family to celebrate my graduation and the staff wrote me a congratulations card which was very sweet. My mother had to wait a bit for her meal, they were extremely apologetic and brought out an additional dessert. I will continue to dine and recommend Bar Vlaha to all!

    Such a lovely restaurant! We went for my graduation from grad school and my boyfriend’s birthday - the staff was so kind and as we were leaving invited my boyfriend and I back in for drinks and dessert! Sadly we had a show to catch but will be back so soon!
