“I've been visitng Les Zygomates now and then ever since it opened circa 1994 and have always enjoyed it as a wine bar opining that it's Boston's Best Wine Bar, but, recently, I've become increasingly impressed by the meals that I've enjoyed there.”

“Food: 5-6 of 10 Honestly I was dissapointed with the food served, although everything was fresh and hot, it just seems that the chef did not put much of any effort into seasoing the mussels with saffron & wine as the menu indicated.”

Worst food near south station and management corrupt. The food is absolutely dreadful, and the management is very shady. Stay away from this place if you don't want to sit in the toilet all afternoon. Try somewhere like Mortons or Legal Test Kitchen.

Another case of the missing/very spacey waitor. After reading the review about the missing waitress, I had to comment on a recent dinner at Les Zygomates. Waitor was prompt with first drink request but then went missing for a while prior to checking in to take our order. We awaited our apps and about 10 minutes later the waitor came back and apologized that he was having a really busy night and needed to take our order again!! He seemed quite scattered. So much so that he failed to bring one of the apps. Food was average with highlights being the hanger steak frites and the rabbit. The food was just okay and combined with the service will not pull me back any time soon with so many other options within a short walk. Busboy was very attentive and like other reviews even had to get the waitor for us. Bus boy service 5 stars, waitor 1 star!

The strange case of the disappearing waitress.... Went there with friends last night. The French hostess was fabulous and made a lot of effort to seat us a great table. She was really nice and very professional. Prompt service initially for wine and apps but then our waitress seemed to just disappear at one point. We were all engrossed in a good conversation so at first no one noticed but then one of my dinnermates said "Hmmm... what happened to the waitress? We haven't ordered our entrees yet." More time passed, we finally had to ask the busboy to send someone over to take our order. After another wait, a new waitress appeared and took out orders. Food was served quickly and it was all very good but the second bottle of wine took forever to get to our table. So who knows, maybe the first waitress got sick or had an emergency and had to leave. We would definitely go back -- loved the jazz... food was very good... service was a little off.
