- Sarp ErkayaMay 15, 2017A Boston classic, great at any time of the day from breakfast to dinner! Cheeseburger pizza and the tuna poke are the stars of the cafe menu! Bar is lively any day of the week with great cocktails 🍸
- Max SaberFebruary 22, 2015Went for brunch this morning and it was just as good as always! The complimentary breakfast breads were out of this world. I recommend the frittata and the baked eggs.
- Teresa H.September 14, 2013Beer-soaked mussels appetizer is delicious with lots of garlic. Brunch also great. Try the truffles or the warm chocolate bread pudding for dessert.
- المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيالJune 14, 2017Romantic atmosphere, nice food, & cocktails. Loved the clams chowders, the oysters selection, and the salad 👌🏻
- Maddie G.L.April 1, 2014They have a great brunch menu, and even have a completely separate gluten free menu they'll give you if you ask for one. The gluten free bread is pretty good, a bit crumbly.
- 💫CocoApril 22, 2015Try the Spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, feta, and garlic pizza. It's very light and the crust is so yummy!
- Tom MaxwellNovember 11, 2017The seasonal Moscow mule was great -- uses apple & cinammon infused vodka. Bartenders really seemed to care
- Richard SpurrNovember 2, 2014If you gonna eat carbs then the French toast is the way to go - on a bigger sugar rush than bungee jumping naked!
- Rue La LaSeptember 5, 2012If you like breakfast, but like hash brown potatoes even more, then brunch at Sonsie is an absolute must. Sit by the open window, then get ready to enjoy a brunch you won't soon forget.
- JNETMarch 23, 2015Our group loved the downstairs bar. Always great people watching upstairs but I prefer downstairs if you have a group :)
- Gabe SnyderJuly 15, 2013Excellent food with eager and friendly staff. Fun atmosphere. Great for romantic date or family dinner. Mildly pricey, but totally worth it!
- Tiffany LopinskyDecember 20, 2016The pizza with butternut squash, bacon, Brie, and mozzarella is perfect!

- Rob AtkinsonNovember 15, 2015Great brunch, including a great wet cappuccino with sweet espresso. Busy on weekends but it's a big place so the wait is never that bad
- Yvette MasonJuly 27, 2020Best food and drinks on Newbury. Been there many times and at odd times of day and Eve. Great food and drinks!
- Brunch is the best meal here. Quiche, Eggs Benedict, and the Huevos Tortilla are your best bets!
- Be SilvaApril 9, 2018Really nice! Excellent food, drinks, environment and music! Better to make reservation.
- Grace KanazawaMay 14, 2013A very good place for brunch! You don't want to miss eating the French toast or the fried calamari they serve!
- KaitlinJanuary 19, 2016Butternut squash soup is divine here. With apples, maple cream, and black pepper granola...good to the last spoonful.
- Mandy FatemiApril 7, 2013Calamari appetizer was amazing! Had a salty/vinegar taste to it which made it different than all others I've tried before.
- James GoochSeptember 23, 2019Great bar on Newbury. Opened all the windows in summer which was great.
- Cameron RyanMay 1, 2017The atmosphere is not my cup of tea, but great for someone who's into "the scene"- Cosmetically enhanced women looking for rich men & older married men looking for barely legal jailbait.
- Ashley KnightOctober 27, 2023Liked the shrimp scampi pasta. Great cocktails too. Esp the espresso martini
- Carrie BevisJune 6, 2016Adore the seasonal menu that always has something fresh and seasonally inspired.

- Nikolay BachiyskiJune 24, 2013This restaurant had the best restaurant playlist: The Black Keys, Andrew Bird, The National, Lana Del Rey, The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons…
- Jessica ChuJune 19, 2014As everyone else suggests, get the mussels, my extra bit... ask for extra bread.
- The french toast here is awesome for brunch and the cocktails are delicious. Try going on a sunny day so you can people watch through the doors.
- Gina LucianoFebruary 3, 2010One of my favorite spots in Boston for drinks, lunch or dinner. Favs: SALAD - Chicken Caesar w/ lime dressing; PIZZA - chicken w/ chipotle, lime, jack, salsa, sour cream, & guacamole
- Kevin SilvaOctober 21, 2016Good apps. Food is interesting, but execution is only OK. Service is OK. Nothing spectacular, but the real estate is expensive, and the people-watching is great.
- Boston.comJune 22, 2010See and be seen at Newbury Street eatery Sonsie, which opens the facade of the restaurant to let in the warm breezes, blurring the lines between your seat and the street. Read more
- Nikhil RastogiMay 14, 2015Small plates were amazing: especially scallops oysters and the sautéed spinach.
- Lisa D'MekkoAugust 4, 2012Last visit was for my bachelorette party for drinks and apps 6 years ago and we watched a creepy guy get wrestled to the ground by Boston Police and was hog tied out on a pole. Today, better visit!
- Enrico ManaloOctober 8, 2018Made a reservation, arrived early and spoke to the hostess, who kept us waiting as she sat walk-ins before us. Eventually gave us a slanted table. Food: bland. Service: fine. Drinks: pricey & small.
- Thomas YoungMay 5, 2012Get here about 10:30 to beat the brunch rush... Everything here is really good

- J.MaysAugust 30, 2010Order the Summertime Corn Pizza, Sit in the window, and watch the Doucherific people come in and out of Ed Hardy. It's Hysterical.
- Laura MontorioMay 21, 2011You can't leave without their chocolate bread pudding! And their burger is killer, too.
