Great food and ambiance. Nice to sit by the bar to see how things are cooked. Also nice to learn about the Greek cuisine

Pork Souvla was amazing! The fish (sea bream) was delicious and well cooked. The bar seating is a little tight, but the food made up for it. My only complaint is a guy who came in, had at least two glasses of wine, and kept yelling things, like "handsome guy coming through." I don't think it's a reflection on the restaurant but it was strange.

So so so so good! My friends and I came here for my birthday brunch, and this Mediterranean hot-spot really lived up to its hype! All of the food was stunning & tasted oh so good too! Their Greek french toast changed all of our lives for the better. The drinks were also catered to the theme of the restaurant. Although skeptical of dill in my mimosa, I really liked it! 10/10 for brunch! I would definitely go back for their dinner menu too!

I finally made it to Krasi. I'm a huge fan of Greek food and it was always on the bucket list. It's necessary to book way in advance btw. The pictures look somewhat sterile, but in fact it is a lively place (although the noise level was ok and didn't impact our conversation). Service was knowledgeable and excellent. Our waiter had a number of tables and was busy, but never hectic. The food: they serve meze style, meaning you order 8-10 dishes for the 5 people we had in our party. Food was excellent and not your typical greek food (e.g. no gyro). Upscale, but Greek. White wine was from Santorini and a good match. They also have an extensive selection of Uzo. Great evening we will remember and will go again!

Krasi should be your next brunch stop in Back Bay! I've wanted to try Krasi for a while and I'm glad I snagged a reservation for the bar area. The restaurant is cute and cozy, with some outdoor seating as well. We split the solomo, lalagites, and patates for brunch. Highly recommend getting the patates and lalagites from these options! The lalagites were super light and the perfect amount of sweet. The patates were fried to perfection with a delicious yogurt dip. The solomo plate was good too but the bread with it was a bit dry. Everyone at the restaurant was super attentive and friendly and all our food came out so quickly. Definitely book a reservation if you're looking for an amazing brunch experience!

Excellent service! They were able to squeeze us in late after a long travel day, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Staff made us feel comfortable and not rushed at all. The food was delicious, I am a vegetarian and they had a menu ready for me with unique options. It had a cozy elevated wine bar feel that we could sit and enjoy for hours. They had a great eye for detail with beautiful plating and decor.

Krasi in Back Bay is one of the top rated restaurants in Boston which has been on my to go list for years and I only made it there very recently! It's also the number one Greek restaurant in Boston on Yelp and ranked very highly on Beli. I got to go last Thursday with a reservation at 9 PM. I was sat right away in a small booth by the window which was a great spot for two since it was isolated and had a nice view outside. To start we got the tzatziki which they make right in front of you and our server whose name I forget was so helpful and gave us some orange wine recommendations. I have a photo of the bottle it was "a-grafo" and was recommended as a light bodied orange wine and it was quite nice. Tzatziki was great although I wish it came with pita and not sourdough. Our server recommended 4-5 dishes for 2 so we got the mushroom risotto, patates, pork souvla, and flank steak in addition to our tzatziki. The mushroom risotto was AMAZING and it was not a traditional risotto but seemed to be made with orzo so it was less heavy than a regular risotto. The little mushrooms were so good as well as the little crunchy chips it came with. The greens were more for decoration but a little bitter. Loved this dish! The next was the pork souvla which was my favorite meat of the two and it comes a la carte with some lemon. I love pork and this was so flavorful. The patates were to die for; a bit heavy because they are breaded and fried and come with a bernaise(?) sauce which was so creamy and went perfectly with the potatoes. The one dish I would skip is the flank steak because it was a little chewy not very tender, and the potatoes and onions it came with in this red sauce were a bit too sweet flavored. But, I love the green sauce it came with it kind of reminded me of chimichurri. To end the night, we got a dessert wine recommendation which was the muscat wine. I did not realize how different Greek dessert wine was from Italian so I expected it to be light and fruity, but it was strong and had a honey/raisiny flavor, an interesting but pleasant surprise. It paired perfectly with the phyllo orange cake with ice cream. Krasi really wowed me and I am so happy I finally got to experience it! I never go to upscale Greek restaurants but Krasi is an excellent choice if you're looking for nice Greek wines and foods. Our server was wonderful and knew every detail about the wines and food. The food menu is on the smaller side but pretty much every dish we had blew me away with the incredible quality and flavor. Highly recommend!

Showcasing a unique selection and flavors of Greek cuisine, Krasi proved to be a great place for a Sunday night dinner. My partner and I were lucky enough to sit at the bar and receive some excellent wine recommendations from the bartender/host to start off our night. We ordered the following items: Tiropita Rolls: A perfect way to start dinner with soft, warm, fluffy rolls combined with halloumi cheese. This is a must-have and one of the highlights of the meal. Graviera Cheese: A hard, nutty cheese that was fairly mild in flavor. It came with bread, nuts, and cornichons. It was good, but we might try a different cheese next time. Taramosalata Dip: A smooth blend of carp roe, lemon, and black olive oil. The dip was served with onion rings. Overall, the dip was decent, but we were expecting more flavor from the carp roe. Bizelia Salad: A delicious mix of crunchy snap peas and radish paired wonderfully with creamy, slightly spicy yogurt and refreshing mint leaves. Xtapodi (Octopus): Perfectly marinated octopus, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. The pairing of red onion and pepper gel added wonderful depth. Definitely one of the highlights of the meal. Bourdeto: The catch of the day was tilefish. The fish was cooked well and absorbed the flavors from the broth. However, the broth was not very flavorful and a bit underseasoned. Additionally, the dish was a bit heavy on the vegetables. Portokalopita: Phyllo dough cake with ice cream was absolutely delicious. A perfect way to end the meal and another must-have highlight of the night. Overall, Krasi presented a very nice variety of dishes for a lovely meal. While a couple of dishes could have been better, the standout dishes would definitely have me coming back again to try other parts of their menu.

AMBIENCE: (5/5) - Dimly lit but one of the few restaurants that still allows enough lighting to see the menu - Speaking of menu, how beautiful are they? They each have individual dried flowers inserted at the front - Tight seating, as expected for most Boston restaurants that are worth their while SERVICE: (4/5) - Food came in order of apps from cold to hot & then entrees appropriately, never missing a beat - Waiter was attentive & plates were cleaned off for the next dish without us feeling rush. They also replaced our plates in the middle of the courses which was appreciated - Just missed the 5 star mark when things got super busy and then it became really hard to catch anyone's attention even though we were sitting at the stools right where the line brings out food. Took a while to order dessert, took even longer to get the boxes for leftovers and they forgot to get the check so we had to ask twice. FOOD/DRINKS: (5/5) - Spring Easter Salad (5/5): could eat this every day. If only I could make a salad like this. This salad renewed my past obsession with watercress salads. The king oysters were so well done that it had the umami of real meat. - Lavraki (5/5): Sea bass thinned so thin that it's translucent on the plate but so so fresh & paired so well with the burst of mustard seeds, fennel and citrus. One of my favorite dishes of the night would most likely order again from now on - Xtapodi (5/5): Never saw octopus cut this way but I much prefer it since you get the soft meaty upper leg while also getting the crunchier more flavorful ends of the tentacle - Giouvetsi (5/5): the lamb just fell right off the bone and was not musty at all. The meat so tender & the orzo was also cooked perfectly. The tomato sauce it's all cooked in is mildly sweet, tasted of fresh garden & a hint of spice. - Souvla (4.5/5): hot from the grill, the pork of the night was perfectly cooked & so so tender. Never had pork cooked this well & it's so simply done with some char marks & squeeze of a lemon. - Portokalopita (5/5): a little bit dense for a phyllo cake but man that orange really shines through with every bite. Ice cream was so so creamy, most likely from the sheep's milk used to make it. Helped to cut the sweetness of the cake so it was a perfect pairing. OVERVIEW: (5/5) - Great ambience, it'll be a tight fit though so not good for big groups - Must say this place did live up to the hype. Amazing presentation of food that's a feast for the eyes & the tongue. Fresh ingredients with the pallet perfectly balanced from sweet to savory to bright citrus. - Must try food: Lavraki, Xtapodi, Giouvetsi, Portokalopita for dessert

Food: Ordered Lalagites (olive oil pancake) with chocolate syups and this was so good but close to being a heavy dessert. It was very crunchy and soft inside with savory garnishes on top such as oats, and walnuts. I really enjoyed having them with merenda (chocolate syrup). Also had kritharoto and loved this risotto. Great flavor from truffle oil and creamy taste from wild mushrooms with right amount/texture from orzo. One of the best menu I had from Krasi Mimosa and kalokairi: Kalokairi was the best after all the sun we've gotten from walking Newbury St. The watermelon was so refreshing with sparkles coming from the wine. Love it! Staffs had been friendly with thorough explanations :) the also accommodated our early arrival though we reserved spot for two hrs later. Will definitely come back for kritharoto!
