“We finished with a strawberry filo dessert which was amazing.”
“This was a pretty good place, I'm more a fan of their wine list than the food but to each his own.”

“The entrees (thankfully) were very good; however the terrible service combined with a bad glass of wine and past-their-prime oysters means we'll never go there again.”
“First of all, the service from the hostess was very warm and inviting and even the waiter as well as the bus boy were so professional and friendly.”
“The turkey dinners were awesome and really inexpensive.”
“The waiting is a tad slow but one hardly notices it because you're absorbed in the european ambiance, watching people walk by, and the loud music.”View Less
Average, nothing more. The food is average, the drinks are less-than average, the cost is above average. I know it's a popular spot, but really, I don't get Sonsie. I wouldn't spend my money here again.
A little pricey, but you're paying for the atmosphere. I had a perfectly lovely time at Sonsie with two friends. Near Newbury St is never my first choice for dining, but Sonsie had been selected by a friend. I had the carrot soup. It was good, nothing phenomenal, but good. They both had pasta, one orecchiette, one gnocchi. I tasted them both. There was nothing bad about our meal, but for the most part, if I am spending the amount of money that I did here, I want food that wows me a little more. But, the atmosphere is nice. It's spacious inside. Our server was also very kind and attentive. I wouldn't elect to dine here of my own volition, but if you end up here, you will have a good meal.…
Terrible place for late night!. I normally like Sonsie, but late on a Friday night this place is HORRIBLE. We made the mistake thinking that the cafe seating would be a nice place to people-watch, but we were wrong. The server was this twerpy kid and the hostesses were rude. The music playing was WAY TOO LOUD that we couldn't hear each other even though we were crammed together at a tiny little table. They tried to fit 4 of us at one! It was ridiculous. I was so upset, but happy to leave at the end of the night.…
sonsie. I am new to town and I have to say i had a wonderful time at Sonsie. Sonsie is a great place to have late night drinks and food. I went there with a gourp of friends and by the end of the night our group doubled. The service was good. i have to say though it was hard to get around, the bar area is too small, we had hover in order to find a cocktail table. If you do not get there at a decent hour, forget about going~ when we sat down though, it was great, i especially like the mussels dish that they have on the menu! I will definately be back there with my freinds…
Rude clientele but great menu in a nice space. I keep going to Sonsie hoping that their clientele will smarten-up and become more polite and less pretentious. Their food is fantastic, their waitstaff is quite good and their bartenders do a decent job at handling their almost always packed bar on the weekends. Unfortunately what keeps me from becoming a regular is the attitude of most of the men wearing Armani suits and women who are over-dressed and wearing too much makeup. The clientele here will bump into you, spill a drink on you, not excuse themselves but rather look at you as if they are wondering why an average Bostonian would be there. I'd say, go on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon because the food and service are worth it but compeletely avoid Friday and Saturday nights.…
