    Excellent food and drink. Small but very well curated list of wines by the glass. Great cocktails. Food is consistently prepared with high-quality ingredients and cooked with expertise and care. Atmosphere is lively/energetic but still quiet enough that two middle-age people can easily hear one another talk without shouting. :-) A great evening out.

    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.

    Booked the Spirit-Free Dinner pkg for 4:30pm. Got to the Pru. @ 2:30pm planned it just right. Got to see Boston in the daylight, sunset, and nightlights all in 1 day. Views were great! The dinner was great and the service was friendly and inviting. Would recommend this day out adventure.

    What a hidden gem! My evening was nothing short of magical. I started with their mozzarella, turkey bacon, and mushroom flatbread, which honestly had me wondering how a flatbread could taste this luxurious – the house-made mozzarella was perfectly melted over crispy turkey bacon, and the blend of roasted mushrooms added such rich, earthy flavors. For my main course, I was torn between the rack of lamb and the lobster ravioli, so my partner and I decided to share both (best decision ever!). The lamb was cooked to perfection, medium-rare with a beautifully seasoned crust, while the lobster ravioli in saffron cream sauce was pure indulgence – you could taste the freshness of the seafood in every bite, and that saffron cream sauce was liquid gold. What really stood out besides the incredible food was how warm yet unobtrusive the service was; our server seemed to appear exactly when we needed something, then fade away to let us enjoy our evening. Absolutely worth every penny. ★★★★★
