instagram.com/reel/C9RXQ-quyMc/?igsh=MTI4ZmtnNXZjOWhidg== Nestled in a handsome hideaway accented with marble and mahogany wood, Yvonne's is a refined yet playful supper club in Boston that exudes elegance and charm. 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.
One of my favorite spots in Boston and probably my most
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.
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

From our greeting at the door from the lovely hostess, who had a great personality, to our server and our complete overall experience a ten. Every dish we had was cooked perfectly and I am chef and Restaurateur in Los Angeles area. David Slay
Amazing experience as always.
The staff is always accommodating and Olivia the manager went above and beyond to make sure our experience was excellent.
Excellent food
My husband and I recently visited Yvonne’s and it was great. We had reservations and were promptly seated. It was louder than we anticipated but that was ok. The menu ranges from small bites, to larger shareable dishes. We did a variety of plates. We started with the Bayonne ham on toast and it was delicious. We did the zucchini za-atar and it was also very good. We finished with the lazy lobster dumplings and the Bavette steak Mirabeau and they were both excellent as well. We did the la bete noire for dessert and really enjoyed it. I would love to go back and try the rib eye for two.
A super nice spot for a date or a celebration! Yvonne's
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.
Vibes are cool music is cool but definitely has rats.
.. can't really be comfortable ordering food when there's rats running around the dining areas.
Incredible experience.
Food and service was outstanding. The ambiance was cool and vibey and fun.
Beautiful decor, food and drinks ok
The restaurant and bar are beautifully decorated but the acoustics and music made it hard to hold a conversation. Food was good on the whole. Drinks were so so. Presentation of both could have been better. Wait staff seemed hurried and overburden with tables.
The food is good, the atmosphere is excellent, but the service..........
We have been to Yvonnes a few times now over the last couple of years. The local is really cool, the food is excellent, though they it doesn't seem that they have changed the menu since we were there first time, so no surprises in that area. The service do however lack behind the rest of the experience. Our waiter didn't have his finest evening at our last visit. He seemed to be more focused on servicing a business dinner at the neighbouring table, didnt take his time to give advise on wines and food (my spouse is vegan), poured water in our glasses and in our food, told us that he was feeling quite comfortable with the temperature when we asked him to turn down the AC (at that point we were all sitting with our jackets on and so were the people at the neighbouring table). The lack of attention, the flaws in the serving, and the attitude kind of ruined the whole experience. We are not sure we will be back.
Best meal of my trip
Fabulous food, cocktails and wine Best meal of our trip. The Trumpet mushrooms were incredible. Ambience was superb. Great options for a vegetarian friendly restaurant. Would definitely return.
Don't know which I enjoyed more, the food or the interior space
Gorgeous interior, amazing food, well-mixed cocktails. Service was pretty lame. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a hip, swanky vibe.
This place is amazing!
The food is fantastic here. Service was outstanding. We had the Rock Coconut Shrimp, Lobster Dumplings and steak. Enough food for the four of us and everything was sooooo good! For dessert we had crème brûlée, the Velrona chocolate and mango sherbet, and the coffee rolls and ice cream ( sorry I forget what it is called but won’t forget the taste). Can’t wait to visit Boston again to go back!
This Restaurant is the best ever!
This was a very different restaurant from what we are used to. It is shareable food and is prepared with different specialties. We chose the Rock shrimp, lobster dumplings and a ribeye steak for two with frites. Every dish was very tasty and well prepared. There were four of us and there was more than enough food for sharing. I have never been to a restaurant with such excellent tasting food!! The server was very polite and knew the menu very well. She was attentive and our glasses and drinks were replenished when needed. For dessert we had a crème brûlée, Four glazed pastries with chocolate dipping sauce with ice cream and a dessert that used valrhona chocolate as its center piece with various fruit. All the desserts were to die for. The bill was pricey but worth every cent. This is a place that you go to and celebrate special occasions. My daughter completed the Boston Marathon and my wife turned 70. Both said that this restaurant made their accomplishments a night to remember. If I could give Yvonne’s more stars than five, I would. The sooner you try this place the better. Just make sure you make advance reservations.
Fun Dinner in Downtown Boston
Yvonne’s is a favorite spot for our family living on Boston’s North Shore and we had heard a lot of good things so were excited to try it out with them. The restaurant is in a great cavernous setting and really has the feel of being somewhere else. We started with a few adult beverages including an Espresso Martini and a Brut Rosé. For dinner we shared a few things plus ordered a few larger plates. First out was the Toasted Talami Bread with olive oil focaccia, muhummara butter, and za’atar, it was quite tasty. We also had the Charred Maitake Mushroom with whipped miso, yaki sauce, sesame. We ordered a few Stone fired pitas (pizzas) and really loved the Tunisian Chicken which had spicy chicken, harissa, green olive, dates, mozzarella, garlic sauce and the Sujuk with beef sausage, mozzarella, basil, marrow butter, onion & parsley. Rounding out the dinner we ordered the Gobi Manchurian - fried cauliflower, paneer, kashmiri mozzarella, and Manchurian chili sauce. We had a fun evening and the staff was very attentive to all our needs.
Steak Tartare 9.
43/10- this was my favorite tapa we got!! It's made with caper relish, truffle honey, and lavender aioli. Very fresh dish and I liked how it captivated so many flavors without being overwhelming Tunisian Chicken Pita Flatbread 8.32/10- this pita pizza was made with spicy chicken, olives, dates, mozzarella, harissa. This was pretty good- I liked how the pita was a bit sweet and soft but also crispy at the same time. I also liked how the dates complemented the spicyness of the harissa. The chicken was also good and tender. Tuna crudo 3/10- I'm only giving this a 3 because of the presentation. This was the worst tuna I've tried unfortunately. Would not recommend. Was not fresh and tasted way too fishy but not in a good/exquisite catch way. Seared Halloumi Cheese 9.28/10- made with charred eggplant, crispy chickpeas, and orange blossom honey. I thought this was really good and sweet but my friend thinks it was a bit salty Mezze Platter 9.63/10- this was so good, I liked the hummus as it was really creamy. It also had whipped beet feta in the middle and artichokes. The whipped feta was so fresh and delicious. The artichokes on top were also a 10/10 and it was served with zaatar bread which imo was a bit too crispy but still fire. This wasn't pictured lol sorry but I do recommend Lentil fritters- I didn't try this but I heard mixed reviews Circus Charlie 9.36/10- this drink was so fire and strong, brownie infused bourbon, coffee infused vermouth, and marshmallow. I liked how the sweet was a great balance to the bourbon and vermouth Lost in translation 8.67/10- rum, salted mango, acidified pineapple, cream sherry, and Japanese bitters. I liked how refreshing this drink was and how it had a bit of spice from the pineapple and Japanese bitters This place was so vibey- it was like a gothic dinner/bar setting with library vibes. Reminded me of a bar called the library in dc. Highly recommend it was super cute. Would probs just get drinks here tho and maybe like one or two tapas
My family came to visit Boston for the first time so I
My family came to visit Boston for the first time so I booked us reservations here, originally for a party of 7 but last minute we had to change it to 9 and they were able to accommodate us (Monday evening). Gorgeous restaurant with amazing staff. Estefania and Cesar made our experience unforgettable!! They were so kind and hospitable! Downstairs was closed for the night but they still allowed us a little mini tour and we were treated to a complimentary serving of rosé as we were celebrating birthdays and an anniversary. Thank you Estefania and Cesar for making my family's first visit a special one! The food was very yummy too!
this is one of my favorite date night spots.
the mood lighting is so nice and the food is honestly fantastic. my partner is a nerd and loves the library room - its got tons of really intimate seating options surrounded by books. i really like the main dinning room. highlights are the focaccia (SOO good) and the lobster gnocchi was also lovely
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!
The steak tartare is amazing, crispy tater cubes were good.
We walked in so we just sat at the bar. Good drinks, and it's beautiful in there!
This is a beautiful upscale restaurant with delicious food
This is a beautiful upscale restaurant with delicious food and drinks. It's more of a tapas-style menu so we got to family style and try a little bit of everything! Highly recommend booking a reservation in advance.
What a fun restaurant.
It is on the upscale side great for before the theater or a special occasion. It is really fun inside. Drinks are interesting as is the food. Nice change from the same old menu. Service was excellent.
Yvonne's is my go to date night spot! We've always done a
Yvonne's is my go to date night spot! We've always done a few of the shared plates and the food is always great. My must haves are definitely the octopus and the halloumi cheese! Only negative is that some of the plates can be a bit salty, but overall still a really good experience here. The decor is stunning and really makes for a fun dinner. The shared plates also come out fast but at different times so you're usually never waiting too long for food. Definitely make sure to book a reservation early because they fill up!
So happy we decided to get after dinner drinks here! When
So happy we decided to get after dinner drinks here! When we first walked in the bar was full. This always makes me nervous because I hate ordering over people sitting at the bar I think it's rude, but the bartenders immediately asked us what we would like and somehow heard us without us yelling over the bar. They were already very attentive. I personally feel that the drink matched it's price. They were extremely well made drinks, going the extra mile with beautiful little garnishes. The ice was perfect, it didn't water down the drink and the drink to ice ratio was perfect. Often times I feel like bartenders put too much ice in and I understand why, but drinks shouldn't be priced so high with SO much ice. Again at Yvonne's, the drink to ice ratio was perfect. We were standing for only a few minutes until we got one open chair, and after that the bartender was kind enough to keep two seats open for us. They were just really really nice. I hate taking shots, but one of the bartenders surprised us with a round of shots, best shot I've ever had. Atmosphere was beautiful, relaxing, and unforgettable!
They stuck us in the dreary downstairs bar when I wanted
They stuck us in the dreary downstairs bar when I wanted the upstairs as it was my birthday n we were all dressed up. Food ok, service good. However, because it was so loud n dark we just ordered apps n left. Nobody seemed to care less, even the manager on the way out.
Definately recommended
Fantastic restaurant. Very very cool venue with great wibe. Everything we ordered was amazing!! Kids loved the “secret door” to the basement where we were sat.
I Must Come Back Soon!
(Last visited 11/13/2023.) Hanging out in Boston working for a few weeks and a young lady that worked at the hotel I was staying at said I had to try this place, well, today is the day! Little did I know I should've made reservations on a freaking Monday night of all nights, but we got lucky, so here's how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is ducked off in like an alleyway of sorts right downtown Boston. It's such a cool vibe because it feels like you've found something secret that nobody knows about, but in fact... everyone knew. Lol. It was so busy in here and they were sold out of reservations for the evening so we popped a squat at the main dining room bar. There are actually two. Once you come in the door you're corralled into a small room where you're greeted by the hostess, but once you turn the corner the place opens up! To your right there's seating, to your left is the first bar and more seating. Then if you go straight you go into the main dining room which has an even bigger bar and plenty of places to sit. This place was dimly lit, chill, intimate and almost felt gothic a lil' bit. Like, real 1600s type stuff. I dug it. Service: Carrie & Darwin took excellent care of us. They were both friendly, fun, quick, attentive, knowledgeable and made sure we had everything that we needed. Food: I started off with a What's Up Doc. It's a cocktail consisting of blended scotch, drambuie, carrot, turmeric, ginger, honey and lemon. It was mixed VERY well. Tangy, sweet, balanced and didn’t taste a lot like carrot at all. My first social plate of the evening was the Lazy Lobster Dumplings which are ricotta dumplings cooked in black truffle butter with an onion crunch and lemon crema. This was HEAVEN. It was my favorite dish of the night. I could've eaten 2 or even 3 of these! It was out of this world. Savory, creamy, hearty. Delicious. Soft. Tender. Cheesy. They’re like, deconstructed dumplings. They aren’t stuffed. Mild, yet very clear truffle taste. For my next drink I went with the Icarus. It's blanco tequila, strawberry balsamic, martini fiero, suze, apricot, lime and served with a spicy tincture. It was a bit spicy, a bit bitter with natural fruity sweetness. Both delicious and different. My next social plate was the Bavette Steak “Mirabeau”. There was a slight, slight fishy taste from the anchovy butter. Cooked excellently. Seasoned well. Tender. VERY buttery. The toast underneath it was a great addition to soak up all the extra juices and flavor that you could've missed out on! My final cocktail of the night was the Circus Charlie. It's brownie infused bourbon, coffee infused punt e mes and served with toasted marshmallows. There was a light coffee flavor with a spiced sweetness. Not quite an espresso martini, but lighter, not as thick. My final social plate of the evening was the Coconut Rock Shrimp which is served with a key lime yum-yum sauce, pickled fresno peppers and spicy peanuts. I didn't taste a lot of coconut, but the breading is really soft, really tender. Great snap to the shrimp. Sauce is a little on the light side. It was my least favorite dish of the night. Breading was too thick, fell off in the “Yum Yum” sauce. Now the desserts... I got to try the La Bête Noire which is Valrhona chocolate crémeux, coconut yogurt, mango sorbet, candied cashews, chamoy strawberries and a hibiscus meringue. THIS WAS FANTASTIC. The lightest, airiest, fudge ever and the fruit balanced it all out. Lastly was the Cinnamon Babka Bites. They're served with dulcey chocolate-chunk ice cream, orange blossom, red currant jam, candied pecans and a chocolate dipping sauce. They were soft, sweet, rich, decadent with a great cinnamon-sugar balance. The chocolate dipping sauce was an excellent complement. Value: Each drink was $17.00. It's Boston, it's downtown and this is a NICE place. Be prepared to pay. It is what it is. The lobster dumplings were $32.00. The steak was $19.00. The shrimp was $20.00. Both desserts were $12.00. Like I said, this place isn't cheap so be prepared to spend if you visit. I love this place SO MUCH. I would come back here again and again to try out different drinks, different menu items and of course, repeat that chocolate dessert!
Great food and atmosphere - don’t sit near the bar
Great location - good was lovely - we worked an 8.45pm sitting for supper. Order 6 small dishes and a pita and all was amazing - actually over ordered. Decor was great. Staff were very pleasant and friendly and as noted food was 10/10. Only downside was the 4 gentleman stood behind our table at the bar shouting and Cushing and when we asked them to tone it down they did it more. Put my partner off eating the last 2 dishes. If it hadn’t need for them then a 5 out of 5 score would have been had
Great atmosphere, food overpriced
The place has a great atmosphere, one of the doors to the dining room is in a book shelf and there is a lot of cool artwork. That part is definitely a 5. The service on the other hand was maybe a 2 at best. Friendly but just sooooo slow. We sat in front of empty drinks 3 times before we had to flag somebody down. It took forever for somebody to take our first order. We weren't in a rush, so the food taking a long time was ok, but not having a drink is annoying. Now to the food. This was very hit or miss. Some of it was amazing, some of it was just ok, some of it was terrible and I couldn't eat it. Part of the problem was also that it was so dark at our table, that you couldn't see the food. The baked oysters were under a thick crust of pure salt. If you can't see your food, you can't scrape off the salt and all you are eating is pure salt. Disgusting. On the other hand, the steak was amazing. The Halloumi was about what I make at home, most definitely not worth the $16 price tag, it was very very thin slices of Halloumi, nothing special. All in all, the portions are tiny, yes, they are tapas, but they were higher priced than other tapas places in the area and the portions were much smaller. We enjoyed the atmosphere, but won't be back. I can get cheaper, better food in other restaurants with better service.
Better than expected
We were impressed with Yvonnes. I honestly didn't expect the food to be as good as it was, but it seemed to tick all the boxes. Cool atmosphere, beautiful room, great drinks, friendly and efficient service AND good food! We dined on the earlier side and I expected to be rushed through dinner, so common these days at restaurants, and that was not the case here. This is not budget dining by any stretch, and I think works best if treated as a sharing/tapas style menu. There are also some large plates and large format drinks that might work if you have a bigger group, but since it was just two of us, we stuck with the small plates and marveled at some of the larger offerings go by our table! Coconut fried shrimp were addictive and delicious, and we felt a generous portion, easily shareable for up to 3/4 people. Lazy Lobster dumplings were like gnocchi in a very tasty cream sauce. Perhaps a little more lobster would have made this dish a tad better, but I think we all know how that goes these days with the price of seafood. If you've thought about dining here, just book it. I don't think you will regret it
Arrogant customer service
Terrible customer service. Nick, the manager, needs to tone down his attitude. We had a large group reservation 10/14, 9pm. Got there on time, Nick was inpatient, mistreated my friend’s wife. When I tried to intervene he called security on us. Extremely arrogant person. We left and will neve come back.
Poor effort, do better.
We booked Yvonne’s far in advance, and we were excited to visit. This was supposed to be our Friday night Boston experience, as we were travelling from England. We had pre-read that the bar entrance is made to appear as a hair salon, giving nod to a prohibition format. In my opinion, shoving two salon chairs in front of a mirror doesn’t really seem adequate. There was no real detailed staging behind the salon concept, and as a theatre industry professional I found it a bit mediocre. Next, I made a reservation far in advance for the time of 9pm. To arrive and be told my table isn’t ready, and to then be eventually seated at 9.30pm is poor effort. I don’t care how busy you are, if you can’t deliver on your reservation promise, then don’t bother! There are plenty of other good bars in Boston that will provide a more prompt service. Next, the place is too loud. I couldn’t hold a conversation with my friend who was less than a metre away. For some this may be appealing (I guess), but not for me! The staff were also very transparent in their attempts at upselling at every opportunity, and it just felt like that detracted from the quality of the experience. Whilst the food was good overall, the experience was really poor. Me and my friend felt the same way. An array of other people who we watched come in also seemed frustrated with the level of poor service, so I don’t think we were alone with our views. I just feel as though the place is geared towards making maximum money by trying to upsell too blatantly, and by cramming too many people into a space which should feel slightly more subdued (in keeping with the prohibition style). This place just felt very gimmicky, but with no substance. Yvonne’s didn’t deliver, and we regret picking this venue over some of the other great spots that Boston has to offer.
Special night out - served!
Fast service and incredible sharing plates with a middle eastern and Asian influence (at least the 6 dishes we tried). Great balance of vegetables, meat and seafood. Drink menu was diverse and delicious. I’d say the music was a notch or two too loud but not headache-inducing. I’d highly recommend for a special night out! (Though you don’t need to dress up if you don’t want to! Attire ranged from baseball hat to suits)
Great Special Occasion Night
We came here to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. As requested, we sat in the Library Room, offering a classy, comfortable atmosphere for our dining. We decided to order five (5) of their"social plates" - smallish plates meant to be shared. Each plate showed that an expert kitchen had prepared these plates. First off was the kale and farro salad, nicely dressed, delicious, flavorful. It was closely followed by the Lazy Lobster dumplings, in a nice sauce, perfectly presented dumplings, adequate lobster chunks, delicious. Coconut Rock shrimp, breaded on coconut infused breading, served with Yum-yum sauce, was a hit. So was the seared hallumi cheese with eggplant. But as great as these dishes were, the star of the night belonged to the Lamb Kofta sausages, nicely grilled and in a yogurt-style sauce. There are plenty of wines offered by the glass. For dessert we split the Greek Doughnuts with blueberry frozen yogurt. Service was excellent. A nice, unique way to celebrate.
Ambiance is a lil clubby, which im definjtely too old for.
The food is on point. Lazy lobster dumpling 4/5 the dumpling is bomb. The lobster a lil' fishyCrispy tater cubes 5/5 we were skeptical but it was not tater tots! It was like smooth mashed potato fried in cube form with amazing sauce. Our waiter said must get so we did and she was right. Bavette steak 4/5 cooked to perfection but tinnyyyy afOctopus 3.5/5 honestly cooked well but too salty for me and the flavor is desperately trying to mimic southest asian food and for an indonesian, it is definitely thai inspired but the flavors feel "half baked" like not bastard thai enough and not authentic enough Drinks is amaaazinngg 1975 - 5/5 got this in memphis before and this one is sweet with a hint of floral LovePaasionfruit mule - very ginger forward for a gal who is not a big mule fan, its a 3/5. Waiter did say that i would absolutely love it cos its sweet.
I stumbled into Yvonne's as it was near my hotel in
I stumbled into Yvonne's as it was near my hotel in downtown Boston. I absolutely loved this bar. The ambiance is dark, romantic, moody, old timey, and elegant. I ended up coming here almost every night of my trip. The cocktails were really yummy and the food was unique and delicious. One night I came right before closing and the bartenders were nice enough to serve me. I absolutely loved it here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful bar and incredible cocktails.
YOU GUYS! I've been here before when I thought it was just
YOU GUYS! I've been here before when I thought it was just a Speak Easy. But tonight they asked if I was here for dinner or just the bar and I said "the bar" at first and then I thought ... wait .. "food?l " so I put myself on that dinner list. So hell yeah!We had a cocktail at the bar (espresso martini, sans espresso beans, and a draft beer) and then we were called to dinner. And then. AND THEN. they walked us THROUGH A WALL!!! And down into a secret room!! Holy cow!! OMG am I famous now?!?We ordered the Lobster Fritters as an app and Seared Brussel Sprouts and Coconut Rock Shrimp as "social plates" to share. The Coconut Rock Shrimp came out first, and then the Brussel sprouts and then the lobster fritters. The Coconut Rock Shrimp were great, the Brussel sprouts were yummy, but let's be real no one comes to a restaurant for Brussel sprouts and the Lobster Fritters absolutely should have been served first. Joel was fantastic and kept our water glasses full and asked if we needed anything else. Howard made me the Passion Fruit Mule which was amazing. God, I love Ginger. Don't order it if you don't love ginger because it's very ginger forward. OK. Let's talk about the restrooms. The men's room had one toilet and a sink and the ladies. Room. Had. TWO. Toilets. And. One. Sink. NO DIVIDER! Like, you and your bestie are gonna REALLY know each other after this!!They have a drink called the Heart Breaker that is served in a, well not a carafe, not an urn, but like ... what your mom would serve spiked punch in at a baby shower?? Like whatever that is?? My drunk ass walked around and asked people how they liked it and the general consensus was "love it". I feel like I should do 5 stars ,I really should, but damned it, bring my food in the order I ordered it and don't you dare give me an espresso martini without 3 and exactly 3 espresso beans. But this place is cool as fuck.
As someone who has lived in Boston for over five years, I
As someone who has lived in Boston for over five years, I have tried numerous restaurants and bars in the area, and we had high expectations going to Yvonne's. Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I were turned down because of our legal out of state IDs. While I understand the right to refuse service, the employee of the restaurant decided to damage my drivers license by bending it in half. They also lied about possessing a black light ID scanner, yet my legal ID has scanned multiple times at other bars. I also showed my passport to supplement my out of state ID, and they continued to be rude and refuse us service. Instead of apologizing for damaging my property, the employees continue to act rude towards me and my boyfriend, who only wanted to have a nice dinner for our anniversary. When I returned with my mother later that month, we were greeted with the same level of service. We were mistreated and disrespected, and it felt like a waste of money. I would not return to Yvonnes on the level of service provided and the disrespect of customer property.
Great food, not so great service
Food was outstanding, although for shared tapas I would have loved to see a serving utensil or two. Service.was.so.slow. When we reordered a second glass of wine (from the wine by the glass menu) it took well over 15 minutes. Drinks themselves were incredibly slow but the food quality and atmosphere were fantastic

The ambiance, the service and the FOOD was INCREDIBLE! My friend and I are from Florida and came based on recommendations online and I would ABSOLUTELY come back the next time I am in town.
Great place with a nice atmosphere to sit or just hang at
Great place with a nice atmosphere to sit or just hang at the bar with a few friends. Classy interior design and watching the bartenders was cool on its own .
Amazing atmosphere, drinks are on point, and the food is
Amazing atmosphere, drinks are on point, and the food is great! I recommend taking a photo under the sign outside
I brought a friend and my wife here for a birthday dinner.
The atmosphere and location are incredible! It's "tapas" style with small shareable plates of food. I am all in on that style of dining and the plates were well thought out and executed yummy dishes! It's pricey - but what isn't these days? I really don't mind high prices if the food gains my respect and I feel like some creative expert thought was put into the flavors. Same with drinks- I am ok with a $16 cocktail if it satisfies and is creative. Although a $16 tiny drink is an insult. SO- food, atmosphere, and drinks were all great!! But the service took the whole evening down. Our waiter was trying a little "too hard" (if that makes sense!). In other words he didn't come off sincere. No problem really- at least he was trying! The crux of the whole problem was the bartending. Drinks came out AFTER the food. Uncool. Each successive drink order took WAY too long and was in error a couple of times. Seemed like the bar tender was busy serving patrons (diners) at the bar an totally unable to keep up with drink service in the dining room. Our last round took so long that it showed up after we had already decided to move on!! The food was delivered "too fast" ( compared to drinks) by food runners who couldn't even announce what they were dropping at the table. It took some enjoyment out of the evening. Timing and respect were lacking but the food and atmosphere were awesome!
Great ambience.
They have a secret bar downstairs as well - Reserve for "The gallery" if you want to be surprised.Make sure you try their smoked rosemary drink. You will enjoy the show. Make sure to capture the moment.
Great environment & staff! Everyone was so friendly & the
Great environment & staff! Everyone was so friendly & the food was great! The whipped Feta Toast was the absolute best, a must order! This is a small plate shareable restaurant. Make sure to order enough plates to feed the table. My group of 3 ordered 4 plates and it was enough for us!
Great atmosphere, amazing cocktails & terrific food!
This is truly a spectacular gem of a trendy restaurant, while music was a little on the loud side, it was still easy to talk with my date. The waitstaff was fantastic, our server was excellent - truly cared about our experience and was very knowledgeable about what was good and what would go well with what we chose to eat. Highly recommend!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Yvonne's Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Yvonne's Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at Yvonne's Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Yvonne's Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
