Brassica Kitchen + Cafe

"For those of you who follow my reviews- this is one restaurant where i won’t provide a detailed assessment- because there is no point. Words cannot accurately describe how impressionable and impactful our dining experience was. I can only say, you must make a reservation, to experience yourselves. Personable, tailored, and memorable, from the moment we sat to our last lick of the dessert spoon. Marvelous- best resto for us in 2023. Reason why it hit “Boston Best Restaurants” in 2023. (Mic drop)."

"Simply put, Brassica Kitchen is excellent. It is a cozy, inviting neighborhood spot, but for those who don’t live south of Boston, it’s worth the trip. The service is exceptionally friendly and eager to please. The food is creative and eclectic. It leans slightly Asian but other times it’s French, or Southern, or maybe Italian, or something else. The great wine list is full of unique finds that most people haven’t had a chance to try. Everything I’ve eaten there has been great but the dishes I most recommend are: fried chicken, risotto, bolognese, anything with green curry, dessert (toffee cake or donut). Finally, if you want a great cocktail at a local, low price, get a glass from the infinity bottle, a combination of a bunch of different house spirits. At $6 you cannot beat it."

"I was a bit skeptical when I first saw the menu. I love meat and seeing so many vegetarian options made me think I was not going to like their offerings. I was fooled! One of the most amazing meals I’ve had in a long time. The pupusa was big and delicious and the cilantro sauce and egg on top were the best compliment. My friend got the chicken and waffles and that was some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. Would definitely recommend."

"This place can get quite busy, so be sure to make a reservation beforehand! The inside has sort of an industrial feel, and the tables are very (almost too) close together. The tables are also quite small, which made it difficult to eat. I tried the B.K. chicken & waffles and French toast. The portion sizes were good--each plate was big enough to satisfy/fill one person. The waffles were cooked nicely, but the chicken was dry when I went. However, I liked the hot sauce that came with the dish. The French toast was pretty good but not the best that I've had. If I hadn't split the French toast with a friend, it might have been too sweet to finish on my own. However, I still preferred the French toast over the dry B.K. chicken & waffles. Our waiter was friendly and kind enough to take a polaroid for us. Note that they charge a 20% administrative fee + 3% benefits fee in lieu of traditional gratuity. If I come back, it would be to try the doughnuts, as I've heard good reviews of those."

"Everything is great here, but I thought it was over priced for what you get. Plus there’s a mandatory 23% tip added to the bill. One thing that wasn’t over priced was the flan dessert. People talk about the donut (which is good), but the flan is better."
