Even after all the years, it still delivers
Sonsie
Newbury Street
Boston, MA

Sonsie is one of the most consistently crowded restaurants in the city. With one of the best people watching views in the city, Sonsie could easily rest on its location and reputation and do just fine. But unlike that other “S” restaurants a few blocks down (that’s right, we hate you Stephanie’s!), Sonsie actually bothers to supply pleasant service, no snobbery and pretty good food.

Sonsie has become one of those go to restaurants for a lot of people in the city; its consistency and location make it perfect whether your have friends in town or just need somewhere to get dinner during the week. You can go one of two routes at Sonsie; you can opt for the entrée (price from around 15-30 dollars) and appetizer route, or you can got for one of their brick oven pizzas (around 11 dollars each). Either choice affords you entirely different experiences and makes eating at Sonsie monetarily affordable almost any night of the week.

Last night a friend and I went to sit in the café and catch up. I chose the Mahi with sweet potato puree while she dined on Eggplant Parmesan. We both shared an order of Fried Calamari. The food, cocktails and company were all fantastic and we had a wonderful evening that didn’t hurt the wallet as much as some other places in the area would have! I am by no means saying that Sonsie is a real bargain, but like Eastern Standard, it tends to give you a big bang for your buck!

This Sunday, we are bringing you a fun tip of the week about Sonsie’s wine cellar. Open everynight of the week (except Sunday), the wine cellar is a great (for the right price private) room located downstairs… well in the cellar I suppose. If the upstairs bar is too crowded, head downstairs where you can get almost a full meal; the entrees are not served downstairs, but the pastas, appetizers, pizza’s and salads are!


Bottom Line: Next time you need a place to eat on Newbury or just want a fun place to grab a cocktail, head to Sonsie.
