If you’re looking for a solid spot to enjoy a meal on Newbury Street, you have to check out Sonsie! Sonsie has an incredible menu full of international cuisine. They utilize a brick-oven to bake their pizzas and focaccia. The menu is incredibly unique and there is something for everyone! The menu offers a wide variety from a variety of cuisines. They offer a great selection of small plates on the dinner menu. Fresh oysters and tuna tartare is on the menu for the seafood aficionados! They also boast about their house-made Gyoza/Dumplings. They have three varieties: pork & ginger, lemongrass chicken, & shiitake mushroom with kale. The gyoza is made fresh in-house! The sesame soy sauce is highly recommended for dipping! In addition to that, they also offer hand-stretched, brick-oven pizzas and focaccia. If you’re in the mood for a larger meal, they have a solid selection of pastas, seafood, roasted chicken, burgers, and more! If you’re a dessert person, the menu is a bit limited in that regard. They also have a small selection of soup, salads, and sides. We decided to stop in to enjoy dinner on their outdoor patio. Unfortunately, they had moved service to inside with the French-doors open. It was like sitting outside, the breeze was phenomenal. The music was bumping and the bar/restaurant got more busy the later it got! They do offer a late-night menu that consists of their brick-oven pizzas & their House-Made Gyoza Dumplings. They’re one of the few spots in the area that serves this late. We started with the Crispy Calamari to share. The portion was generous. The Crispy Calamari was cooked perfectly, not overdone or chewy like many places. It was served with giardinaire and a cucumber-yogurt sauce. The cucumber-yogurt sauce truly elevated the dish. I actually requested our server complement the chef, as it was a new twist on the menu item. We LOVED it. We also ordered a “Margherita” pizza to share. The pizzas here are hand-stretched and baked in a brick oven. I have never seen a crust so thin, it is phenomenal! They utilize house-made, fresh mozzarella on the pizza. The sauce is fresh san marzano tomato. They finish it off with fresh basil. A typical pizza here is six-slices. Their beverage/mixology program is also spectacular. We both ordered “The Dana”. Citron vodka, lemoncello crema in a glass with a sugar rim. The drink hit all the right notes, incredibly smooth and delicious. Mixed perfectly! The service was top-notch. The waitress was excellent, always ensuring we were well taken care of and that our water glasses stayed full. She was quick and efficient. She even checked to ensure nobody had any food allergies. Due to the amazing service AND food, we will certainly make this one of our regular spots! The service is spectacular! The service and quality of the food TRULY earned 5-Stars. If you’re looking for a late night bite & a solid beverage, they’re open until 1AM on Saturdays!

I had an amazing time at Sonsie. Visited this restaurant a couple days ago for dinner and they had the sweetest waiters. Our waiter was so attentive it was almost as if he never left our side! If our drinks were low he would top us off, he cleared the dishes off right away and always asked if everything was to our liking, all while attending other tables! We never had to wait long or search for him when we needed something. I could go on and on about the service but I'll wrap it up by saying he was the best waiter anyone could ask for. I honestly can't tell you the last time I had such good service. Now onto the food, we started off with the crispy calamari and pork belly bao. My friend had the pork belly bao and loved it, I had the crispy calamari and it was okay. I felt like it lacked a bit of flavor but the texture was amazing, very crispy. But my friend tried the calamari and liked it so much he got a plate to-go! Later we ordered two steak frites, one 4 each. This was the highlight of my meal. The steak was size-able and palatable if you add a bit of salt and pepper and the fries were good. I even ordered an extra side of fries. At this point we were stuffed but we were having such a good time we didn't want to leave so we moved on to the desert, I got the vanilla ice cream and my friend ordered the chocolate bread pudding. The ice cream was nice, and my friend said the chocolate bread pudding was delightful! Oh the atmosphere was nice but nothing really stood out to me. My only regret from this visit is that I didn't take more pictures lol but honestly you should go to Sonsie yourself and enjoy yourself. Hopefully you have a blast like we did. Can't wait to visit again one day.

I went here for a work dinner recently, after having not been here for many years. It was mid week and the restaurant was quiet…no more than 30% full. First impressions were that the interior is dated (wobbly tables, sticky floors, subpar bathroom, etc) and needs some TLC. Once seated, our server didn’t speak much English, which made it difficult to get recommendations…but nonetheless they didn’t seem all that motivated to be there in the first place. We ordered cocktails, wine, apps and entrees. The calamari and octopus apps were pretty sad, overcooked and small portions. Of the entrees we ordered, the Cesar salad and pizza were the best of the bunch. Our server recommended a specialty dish called the “Mee Krob” (one of their 3 classic dishes on the menu) and it was a total let down. It was basically a huge portion of crispy puffy rice noodles with a small portion of protein and veggies…and a touch of Asian and Sriracha sauce. The noodles that touched the sauce were soggy and the rest were plain as rice cakes. 2 of us ordered this and were let down and barely ate any of it. My other colleague ordered the grilled salmon and that was fine, but nothing special. I had fond memories of eating here many years ago - but the experience, service, food and atmosphere missed the mark. I don’t recommend coming here for anything other than drinks and perhaps some basic bar food…but for the price, there are better options.

We had our first date after becoming official at Sonsie and had a great experience (and obviously our relationship worked out!) so decided to celebrate our wedding here as well! It was an exceptional experience working with Sari, the events coordinator, and the night went perfectly. Communication and collaboration through the planning process were very easy and a delight throughout. We really appreciated the thought and care she put into making our day special, from printing out and framing welcome and table signs to saving the rest of the cake in the fridge after the wedding so we could take it home the next day to enjoy. And when I went to pick it up the next day, I had forgotten to take a menu the night of but the manager kindly printed out another copy for our keepsakes. The food was superbly seasoned and portions generous. The eggplant meatballs were a standout appetizer and the little gem salad was also very tasty! My salmon entree was nice and hot, with decadent crispy skin. It can be tough to maintain the quality when serving many people, but they did an amazing job! They also made special other dishes to accommodate dietary restrictions. The wine room was a very intimate and lovely venue. All the guests complimented the food and the whole evening. Thank you to Sari and the whole team. Would highly recommend for a night out or any special event!
