One of my favorite spots in Boston and probably my most frequented. Whether you're looking for a special occasion dinner or just drinks at a bar that looks like a high-class speakeasy, this is the place. Always packed weekend so be sure to make a resy for dinner. The bar is also always packed. Love that they're open til 2am. They have a downstairs speakeasy too that you can request for dinner- have dined and partied there and it's cute (video on my IG @foodiesnapstagram). Decor is eclectic and elegant all around. Drinks are great and bartenders are very profesh. Awesome location.

We recently celebrated a birthday here and were treated to an exceptional dining experience, featuring a diverse array of dishes that impresses. Here are some supper to highlight: Baked Oysters "Savannah"- Duxbury oysters with lobster porcini cream and Parmesan. Rich and perfectly baked. 10/10 Spring Mezze -Beet whipped feta, habibi hummus, baby artichokes, snap peas, pea greens, and za'atar pita. Savory and harmonious. 10/10 Thai Octopus - Tom kha coconut sauce, maitake mushrooms, snap peas, and crispy shallot. Tender and aromatic. 9/10 Lazy Lobster Dumplings - Ricotta dumplings with black truffle butter, onion crunch, and lemon crema. Not bad, delicately flavored. 7/10 Wild Gulf Shrimp - Green mojo, pimentón, fingerling chips. Succulent with vibrant flavors. 10/10 Moroccan Lamb Belly - Harissa asparagus, charred tomato taktouka, spiced honey, crispy lentils. Flavorful with a perfect blend of spices. 9/10 Each dish showcased thoughtful combinations of ingredients and expert culinary craftsmanship, making our celebration memorable and delightful. Yvonne's impeccable space and spacious yet clean restrooms are complement the whole experience.

5 Stars for ambiance that can't be beat and fantastic staff. I was looking for a vibey cocktail spot after grabbing drinks at another local spot and Yelp didn't let me down! When you enter this restaurant you will immediately be met with low lighting and a gorgeous interior. It's much larger than I expected, and they were able to fit us in at the bar. Frankie, our fabulous mixologist, was a delight! She helped guide us to some great cocktails, my favorite of which was the Come Clean. This cocktail consists of mezcal, green curry, bell pepper, lime leaf, Thai basil, cilantro, green apple, coconut, lime, and whey. WOW. It was like having a smoky Vietnamese dish as a cocktail and it was DIVINE. I got the last one they had available that night, otherwise I would've been three-deep by the end of our seating. For bites, we started with the Chicken & Quinoa Meatballs. These were big and covered with a Chinese garlic sauce, spicy mayo, peanuts, and jalapeños. I would definitely order them again, but they are in the Social Plates section of the menu for a reason! We also got the Gobi Manchurian stone fired pita, which is vegetarian and includes fried cauliflower, paneer, Kashmiri, mozzarella, and Manchurian chili sauce. I was a bit bummed because it was definitely more pita and sauce than toppings. I couldn't find the cauliflower at all, but it was tasty. Finally, we got the Berber Lentil Fritters from the snacks menu. These fritters have sweet pepper cheese, manchego, and spicy pickled carrots. As another vegetarian dish, this was a solid option and definitely satisfied! Overall, we had a great time here! I'd absolutely return for a longer visit and will be ordering the Come Clean cocktail every time! Frankie

A super nice spot for a date or a celebration! Yvonne's definitely seems to be more of a place you visit for the vibes. Service was extraordinary and the food was delicious! We ordered quite a few items but my fav thing by FAR had to be the beef tartare. It was a crowd favorite amongst our table of ~10 people and IMO, nothing else was as impressive as the tartare! The beef was just super flavorful and fresh. They had pretty unique drinks, I ended up going with a pandan-flavored drink option and it tasted good! NOTE: It's pretty dark and dimly lit inside so if you're looking for a more vibrant place, it's probably not the place for you.

we came to yvonnes to celebrate a friends graduation. the ambiance was lovely and our waiter was fantastic we ordered the ribeye, kimchi fried rice, steak tartare and some drinks. the drinks here were amazing! fantastic lychee martini the food honestly left a little to be desired but i enjoyed the steak tartare the most

Still the go-to in Downtown Boston for date night, drinks, or sit down meal with a group. It's the Boston version of NYC's Employees Only + the Library Bar at the Nomad with even better food and more spacious, comfortable seating. Be sure to get the Niman's ribeye tomahawk, octopus, and decomposed lobster dumplings. The cocktails are also excellent and they have "large format" drinks for groups (some come with theatrics!). The ambiance is a mix between a library bar, speakeasy, and sit down, meaning it is perfection, Highly recommend.

We came here for dinner, and were seated close to our reservation time. We started off with drinks, which were strong & tasty--the perfect combination! We then each got a pita, which although small, was incredibly flavorful. The interior was also gorgeous--would recommend for a special occasion!

Cool and kina sexy vibes with tasty, but expensive plates. Booked a Saturday 7:15 ressie almost a month in advance. We were taken through the speakeasy bookcase door and sat at a large round table that was a little too big for our group of 4. We tried 14 small plates and each of us got a few cocktails so we got a pretty good tour of their offerings. Service was attentive, friendly and helpful. For food we tried: Crispy Tater Cubes Baked Oysters Savannah Tunisian Chicken Steak Tartare Chicken & Quinoa meatballs Seared King Trumpet Mushrooms Thai Octopus Tico Tuna Crudo Coconut Rock Shrimp Lazy Lobster Dumplings Seared Halloumi Cheese Lamb Kofta Le Bete Noire Coconut Mousse Cake All of it had great flavors, some of the dishes were a bit too salty for me (meatballs), but generally really enjoyed the food. Portions are quite small for the price, most plates each of us got 1-2 bites. The group thought the standouts were the thai octopus, steak tartare, seared halloumi, seared mushrooms, tunisian chicken, lamb kofta, and le bete noire. Lazy lobster dumplings were a decadent bite but not worth the price and there was not a lot of lobster. The tater cubes and coconut rock shrimp were good but not unique relative to elevated bar food. All of the cocktails were well crafted, but we all loved the dessert drink - an Iced Coffee Swizzle which had chartreuse in it and paired really well with the Le Bete chocolate notes. After tip it was about $150 pp, so this is more of a special night out type of place. I'd return to try more things!

Food and ambiance was amazing!!! Loved the Valentine cocktails to the tuna crudo, oysters, zucchini zataar, ribeye, and Baked Alaska! It was Valentine's Day, and it was really packed, but I respected the fact that the management was trying to accommodate large reservations. I like the fact that nice guy supervisor move us to a bigger table as requested vs the female supervisor said they were fully booked when we initially requested to move. Our server Victoria was very accommodating and sweet! We went full throttle on ordering the best food and drinks! She is the reason why we dined well! The only reason why I am giving it four stars instead of five is because we were told they needed the table when we were already done and about to leave. The manager was nice about it but as a general rule, restaurants should know their audience since we didn't order a shared salad . We ordered a very expensive meal and they should know the clientele ...just saying. We fine dine a lot too. I would easily come back again soon if management would be further gracious and invite us to complimentary dinner drinks at the bar if they were that desperate for our table and recognized we were already done eating and paid.

What a cool spot! Me and my friends came here for a drink after The Nutcracker and it was such a cool spot! We didn't have a reservation (heads up that having a reservation requires eating a meal) and we were able to walk in and grab a drink at the bar. They have 2 large areas for eating/drinking. One is a little more lit up and lively than the other. You walk in, and if you go to the left, they've got cool bookcase wallpaper going on which goes perfectly with their dark wood interior and dim lighting. Certainly a particular vibe going on. You can order drinks at the bar in this area, or you can go to the second one, which is the bar in the slightly more lively area. This bar is located around the corner (when you walk in, you just go straight ahead and you're in). It can be tough to read the menu because it's so dark inside but it was beautifully decorated for Christmas inside, and both spaces have the classy dark wood interior going on. It can be pretty hard to find a seat at the bar but you can stand around with your friends behind the people sitting at the bar. Definitely glad I saw this place! Super cool and different!
