Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Back Bay

Atmosphere was very cool! Nachos were super hot with the jalapeños … the wings were quite massive in size. Would recommend pre-game.

I’ve been here so many times and it’s always across the board a 10/10 Food last night, 10/10 with the exception of seriously overcooked and close to inedible French fries. Oddly, service was off. Incredibly slow, 2 full hours before entrees arrived. Waiter continually disappearing, was way preoccupied chatting it up with hostess desk, friends or downstairs. Finally had to ask the bar tender to close out our check. Very unusual for this place. Still our fave.

Visited Libertine for the first time with family that flew in from out of Town. There are a lot of great restaurants that I usually visit when I can in the North End and I am adding this one to the list. It will become a go to favorite I am certain once I visit again and get the same level experience. The food is fantastic and the 4 people that were with me agreed and each had their own different dishes. Appetizers were awesome. We had Meatballs/Calamari/Barratta Salad. Staff accommodated some severe allergies and did an outstanding job with Gluten Free dining. Everything but the Ravioli is Gluten Free. They also accommodated several substitutions like Mash Potato for Rizzotto... Wine selection was great by the glass. Service was attentive. We did not need to ask for anything at all. This was an early reservation prior to the Bruins game and reservations were a must suggestion if you can swing it. They also have a bar which is pretty nice as well.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for decades. It was my favorite as a young adult and now has become the family favorite. I’m surprised it hasn’t been featured in Boston’s top restaurants. The brunch menu is reasonably priced for the area and for quality of food.

We really enjoyed this chain. We visited 2 different locations in 2 days.
