I think this is the best restaurant food in Boston right now, really outstanding. The wine program is exclusively Greek, the list is huge, the grape varieties unfamiliar and unpronounceable, but the waitstaff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. The restaurant struggles to keep wines in stock; I ordered two bottles that were not available that night. The place is crowded and noisy, the patrons generally young and hip, lots of fun.

We had an amazing experience at Bar Vlaha last night. The place is charming, the food absolutely fabulous, waitstaff knowledgeable and helpful. We had the bread with three different spreads, each better than the next. The mushroom appetiser was spectacular. Entrees of lamb, and wild boar were amazing. An assortment of desserts was delightful. Could not have had a better night. We cannot wait to return.

what is great about this restaurant is that it has unusual, creative high quality Greek food. Not like anything I have EVER had before. It is wonderful to have a fantastic choice other than Italian or steakhouse food that is such high quality. It is our new favorite restaurant and I could not recommend it more highly. The dishes were unbelievably creative in taste and texture. Pomegranate Glazed Eggplant! Wow. Lamb Arancini. Spanikopita Pizette. Burnt Orange Phyllo Bread Pudding! I could go on and on.

Went to Loire Valley Wine Dinner and was very happy with the experience. The food and wine pairing was terrific and the value even better. We ate early so not crowded but not sure why, I will definitely be back for the next one. Well done thanks!
