   Every dish was delightful, after living in Boston/Brookline for 3 years and exploring the food scene, I can confidently say this is one of the best restaurants around.

   What I love is my meal came late--my brunch mates came easily 10 min before mine. They took care of us though and were so kind and thoughtful!

   First time there after hearing so much about it. Our server was attentive and warm. The food was outstanding. The flavors were all so deep and complex. I would definitely go back

   Amazing food and service, as always! Spacious inside though a bit loud. Love the waitstaff- they’re all very Personable and clearly enjoy being at Bar Vlaha as much as the patrons! The Melitzana Yahni is not to be missed!

   We had lunch today and needless to say, we’re shocked by the mediocrity of the food. This restaurant is one of the highest rated in the Boston area. Basically, tasteless. They talk up the bread and I guess people buy and take home. No thanks. It was stale. We are very disappointed. Don’t get me started on the price!

   All the meat was cooked exceptionally well (we got the meat board sampler) and was juicy and tender.

   Highly recommend. First time with lunch resy, and it was fantastic! Far exceeded expectations. Servers (and runners) were attentive to us, even with a food allergy making sure we were ok, drinks were superbly crafted, food was delicious, ambiance and noise level was perfect- full restaurant, but it felt quiet that we could actually hear each other. Great experience all around! Kudos to the team!

    Valentina and Vicki are phenomenal! Great Recs all around and the food and drink were stellar! Don’t sleep on any of the housemate pies especially the one filled with feta and drizzled with honey 🤤
