Owner Brian Piccini and Chef/Owner Christopher Coombs are proud of their 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.

    Very disappointed. Went for a 30th anniversary with my husband. They knew but didn't acknowledge or do anything about it. Ordered a tanqueray and tonic but the drink was not made with tanqueray. They insisted it was which started the night on the wrong foot. Waited over 30 minutes for entrees. Food was not as good as we expected given the reviews and recommendations. Service was nothing special. I would not recommend. There are many other wonderful restaurants in Boston!

    DeuxaveResponded 2 days agoHi Mrs. Musgrave! I am so disappointed to learn that your experience was not to the Deuxave standard. A 30th anniversary is a huge accomplishment and it is our priority to ensure that these kinds of occasions are met with all the compliments we can offer. Please reach out to me directly so that we may communicate this further at: Justin@deuxave. Thank you!

    Deuxave is one of our go-to Boston restaurants for special occasions. On this occasion, our waiter was quite knowledgeable regarding the menu and wine list and did a wonderful job guiding us in our decisions for the evening. For starters, we selected the duet of prime beef, featuring wagyu carpaccio & prime NY sirloin tartar, that was excellent. For the main course, the macadamia crusted tuna and the Giannone chicken paired with a French pinot noir did not disappoint. We decided to postpone dessert but our waiter surprised us with a plate of birthday chocolates adorned with a candle, a fitting end to our birthday dinner.

    Deuxave is truly an excellent restaurant. I have only been there twice but both times everything was done at the highest level - attentive, professional service, incredible gourmet level food, and a beautiful humming ambience - buzzing but not loud, with stylish decor and city views. This is really one of the nicest restaurants in Boston.

    It started off great. We had a drink at the bar and was impressed by the bartenders’s knowledge and friendliness. We were seated at the time of our reservation which we appreciated. Wait service was terrific. We ordered our first course and all was going well. However we waited a long long long time for our second/main course. The restaurant didn’t seem busy although we later noticed a party leaving from the back private room so perhaps that was part of the delay? Other than the long wait for our dinner we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and will go back. Kudos to our waitress. I wish I could remember her name but I do know her younger sister works there as well. They were both great and you are lucky to have them.

    The food was excellent, but be prepared to spend a lot. The wine list likely contributed to the overall expense of the meal (choice seems to be only very good bottles, or ok ones). Our table of four did not select from top of the price list of entrees. The meal came to $520 including 20% tip.

Everything was delicious and it is obvious that the ingredients in each dish are so well thought out and work together perfectly. Each bite was a treat. The service was impeccable and attentive without being obtrusive. I look forward to returning again whenever my plans bring me back to Boston.

    Once again, outstanding meals for three! A bit busy, as we were in the 'corridor' from the front door to the main dining room, but it didn't detract from the food/drink. Valet service was spotty, with only one person running the show, but our car was kept in front so leaving was easy. Duck, of course: The Paté and two Confits. Beet Salad, Strip Steak, and the Crispy Chicken, all excellent. Mousse and Ganache, both decadent. Waitstaff appropriately attentive. $400 including tip. We'll be back!
