Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Back Bay

For two battle-fatigued parents looking for some adult time away from the kids, Silver Dove was exactly the reprieve we needed. As soon as we walked in, we appreciated the restaurant’s small, quiet, intimate vibe. This was matched by the rest of our experience. The staff was attentive, courteous, and kind. The drink menu was expansive, yet not overwhelming. The food was absolutely delicious, with a special shout-out to the coronation chicken and the prosciutto-wrapped dates. On our way out, we bought a gift card to share the Silver Dove with some family members. We can’t wait to hear about the experience, and we’re already eager for our next one, too.

Food was incredible and we had such a great time!

Moon Bar is a low-key Boston gem. Inventive food. Excellent service. Knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.

This place has that subtle cool yet upscale vibe without doing too much. Nothing phony here, all the focus is on the food and how to deliver the best experience to their guests. Did I say how much we loved the food?

We’ve eaten here several times and decided to treat our friends to their first time. We all enjoyed the dishes we shared and the chef was happy to scale back the heat for one of us. Having said that, I do prefer the tofu with longhorn peppers to the milder classic tofu dish my friend ordered. I love the heat and the unique food offered at Yunnan Kitchen.
