Servia

The set-up, colours, and interior 👌🏾 made me feel important and cherished. Everything about this restaurant is incredible. There's a lot of intentionality manifested in the colours of the tablecloths, the art on the walls, the plates, and the food. Service is equally intentional, kind, attentive, and quickly responsive. This restaurant is welcoming to all. I went here to meet up with my friends. I'd recommend it for that, dates, or formal dinners. Did I say it's affordable?

Not going again. Service is terribly slow (on weekday for dinner and that in downtown) And when food finally came, it was a wrong dish. Zucchini chips were way too salty so as falafel. Falafel by itself were still fine but falafel salad wasn’t tasty at all. I don’t understand why Italian dishes are on the menu like orzo pasta with butternut squash (with cinnamon) - nah doesn’t taste as good as it sounds.

Servia is a restaurant whose food, service, and ambiance is up to par to be placed in the list of Boston's best. Maybe out of ignorance, but I don't know another restaurant in Boston that elevates Mediterranean food the way they do. The highlight of our visit is reading a menu that makes me wish it were prix fixe so I we could try it all and having a server that saw our enthusiasm for it and helped take the reigns and recommend options as well as surprise us with others. All of the dishes were flavorful and exciting to try. It wasn't a basic steak with sides - every dish whether a main or appetizer had a central focus with something accompanying it, whether a dip or vegetable mix that was as much a part of the plate and experience as the focus. I can't wait to come back and continue making my way through this menu. At Servia, my recommendation would be that you shouldn't order food just to fill yourself but to appreciate the amazing work that goes into each dish.

I wish I had taken some photos but I was focused on the amazing food. Beautiful modern ambiance and a nice view of State Street, Servia is the best Mediterranean food I've had in years. Their roasted lamb shank served in a clay pot was one of the most delicious dishes I've had in a long time. Highly, highly recommend for anyone en route to the airport or visiting the ports or financial district of Boston.

Underrated contemporary mediterranean restaurant that deserves more attention. Came in on a Friday night during the peak hours, and the restaurant was fairly empty. We were initially unsure if we had made the right choice, but the food and service throughout the evening were excellent. For the appetizers, we shared the lamb cigar rolls and Greek bruschetta. Both were great, but the true highlight of the meal was the entrées. Topped with pomegranate marinade and wild berry compote, the grilled lamb chops were the best I’ve had in Boston. Duck & orange gastrique was also amazing as the rich flavors of the mushroom farrotto nicely complemented the meat. We also tried some of the classic Mediterranean dishes such as the Moussaka and the Aqua Pazza, and both were good as well. The finale of our meal was the pasha pillow. It was quite similar to Baklava but extremely light and airy with cream fillings. I also liked the pistachio and rose petal toppings, and it was definitely one of the most unique desserts I’ve had in my recent memory. Overall, our experience at Servia exceeded our expectation, and I would definitely come back to try their 8-course tasting menu.
