   Everything was perfect.the staff are all welcoming and attentive. The food was amazing, and the chef pays attention to the details. Every spice, sauce, and layer went perfectly. We ordered drinks, appetizers, entrees, and dessert. Our server Sébastien was top notch. Always suggesting when need, and taking care of our needs timely. It was a wonderful experience to dine here.

   Was a wonderful atmosphere. Two of us at by the windows at the hightop. Was relieved not the cold hard metal chairs some restaurants have. A wonderful waitress, Alexandra. Besides the seafood orzo dish being great, we LOVED that the music was soft and jazzy. We could actually hear each other! What a concept! People at the fairly full bar, therefore, were not screaming above loud music, seemed to be enjoying the comfy bar and others company. The Envoy also houses a gallery (next door the the restaurant) showing Fort Port Arts Community artists. And the Envoy actually bought art by a local artist for the dining room! Love this place!

   Some of the best tacos ever and we eat tacos everywhere we go. The flavor profile was both unique and comforting. We ordered every kind to try them all and our favorite which we’d not expected, were the fish tacos. Just great. They are of course street tacos so they are SMALL and more of a tapas or hearty snack than a meal but knowing it going in makes the portion size ok. Would recommend.

   Food was AMAZING! However, it took an hour to come out, our waitress never checked on us during that time. We didn’t have drinks or food for awhile. There was no music or anything playing which made the ambience not so great. Super weird experience overall but incredible food once it did finally come out.

   Amazing time. We requested a booth table with cooking window view. However when we got there they did not have any available but they gave us a better setting in the glass room where the chef was working. Chef Tatiana was amazing and was personable. She even took pictures with us. Great services all around.

    We had the fixed v-day menu. It was amazing. We were running late for our reservation and had no problem getting our table. The courses were all portioned generously and the taste was impeccable on everything!

    We are so excited to have found a new restaurant in Boston. We loved the vibe, the food, the service. Our waitress, Shea, was so friendly, nice and accommodating. The chef, Tatiana, who was a two time winner on the food network show ‘chopped’ came over to our table and was also so friendly and personable. She even sent us home with a small container of the guava barbecue sauce that we were raving about. The staff and chef definitely went above and beyond what you would normally experience at a restaurant here in Boston. We will definitely be going back and recommend this gem to all. It was also so nice to experience a quiet dinner in Boston, as most of the time we’re screaming over the noise.

    This was my 3rd time coming here and booked a reservation for a party of 10 for my birthday, we got set up in this amazing glass room. The food is wonderful and the service is even better I have only good things to say about para Maria, a true gem in the city of so many restaurants!

    I've been to Para Maria during the day, but the night scene is so much livelier! From couples to friends hanging out, everyone seemed to have a good time. Even outsiders were stopping by outside the restaurant to take a peek at the ambience. One thing I was sad about was the cold corn we received. Luckily, our waitress was super friendly, so we requested a new set of roasted street corn. The second time around, they were the perfect temperature! I would also definitely 10/10 recommend the staff favorite flan/cheesecake with raisins dessert.

    The food was sub par overall. We ordered the whole snapper and it was shockingly bland. I am surprised that such a mediocre restaurant is in such a beautiful location.

    The cocktails and food were amazing but it was the service that truly blew us away. We sat at the bar for dinner and Sean really took care of us. He knew his stuff whenever we had questions but was also honest and accommodating too. Will definitely be going back to try more of the menu!

    The place was easy to find and it was pretty and well put together. Once we sat down it took a minute for the waiter to notice us sitting down. It was a bit disorganized within itself the restaurant wasn’t busy and it appeared that our server only had 2-3 tables. It’s described as a latin inspired but had very little to it on the menu. The drinks were watered down and I asked for them to make me another one and it was better but not how it was supposed to be. Food was better I had the paella and it was really good with good amount of seafood and had the street corn. The street corn was as if they took a corn and cut it up in 3 small pieces. My partner had ta tacos and calamari the calamari were pretty tasty. Tacos too small. Best part was the churros that alone was a 10/10. Overall there is a lot of potential to the restaurant and where it is located but there’s couple of things they’ll have to work on.

    Good service, the waitress really sweet and kind. The drinks weren't that good and they are really price. I was expecting something better than what was served. As for food, the Salmon on Coconut and the burger, they were delicious. Now, we ordered a side of tostones which cost $10 per side, so we thought they were going to be fresh tostones. Specially since the menu was made by a Cuban chef. To our surprise the tostones were the frozen kind. Dry and extremely tough to the bite. We could tell they were probably Goya bagged frozen tostones. A total let down.

    Chef Tatiana and her staff were TOP NOTCH! could not have asked for a better experience. Our apps were fantastic, the smoked ahi tuna, the ribs, everything down to the mango salsa that accented the plate was exceptional. The mains were better still! The Salmon was perfectly cooked, flavorful, paella was the best I’ve had in the northeast period. Don’t get us started on the Churros! My wife and kids cleared the plate so fast we had to order more! Brian made us some incredible drinks, great conversation, attentive staff. 10/10 experience, ambiance, food. The Total package was phenomenal by the team at Para Maria. Cannot wait to come back.

    Unfortunately for us, there was a private party going on in the restaurant while we and other diners were there, but there was no walled off space for them, so the noise level was extreme and the service was spotty. The mussels we had were good, grilled bread could have used a bit of olive oil before grilling. The vegetarian entree, a cauliflower dish needs a re-do. It was terribly dry, unseasoned, and under-cooked. The rice that accompanied the dish was good, but the taste of raw, uncooked garlic ruined the black beans served with it.

    I’d avoid this place. It seems understaffed with 30+ minutes for food/drinks to arrive and expensive for the quality. Our waiter also threw out half an entree after we asked them to box it up. They then asked us to leave immediately so they could turn the table over.

    If you haven’t had the chance over the last few years to experience Chef Tatiana Rosano’s cuisine you’re missing out on a bright rising star. The smoked tuna tartare is fresh and flavorful, the salsa kicks in the right amount of spice that wakes you up. I could keep on raving, but you have to go experience it for yourselves.

    Way overpriced for what it was. A $19 cocktail to start? Even the high end local places are more reasonable than that. Food was just okay. Again, overpriced for what it was.
