Servia

I wish I had taken some photos but I was focused on the amazing food. Beautiful modern ambiance and a nice view of State Street, Servia is the best Mediterranean food I've had in years. Their roasted lamb shank served in a clay pot was one of the most delicious dishes I've had in a long time. Highly, highly recommend for anyone en route to the airport or visiting the ports or financial district of Boston.

Food and wine were fantastic but Jordan really made our visit special. He was so friendly, helpful with menu suggestions and funny. He recommended a red wine for my husband and a white for me and both were excellent. We are vegetarian so we ordered the tomato and burrata salad, fried potatoes, hummus, and a mushroom farro dish, all of which were delicious, and paired so well with our wines. Thanks, Jordan for such a lovely evening.

Food was ok, but the service ruined it. We went there for our son drop off to college and last night dinner with our family of 8 people. We were told a number of items on the menu were "not available today." When we ordered an item not initially excluded, we were told "oh, that is not available either." We waited literally one hour after sitting to get any drinks or food (not even bread!). When our meals finally came, one item was missing. They told us "oh that one was over-cooked we have to remake it." Another delay. The server was unpleasant and not apologetic. The excuse was "short staffed." Not going back.

Delicious apps (hummus, octopus, brussel sprouts) and meals (sea bass, roasted chicken) . Nice modern takes and complex versions of classics. Great servers. Atmosphere is clean and simple, not as great as the food but certainly in time.

Having seen the reviews and after looking at everything on the menu, this was going to be a great place for our last meal - or so we thought. We started off with a few appetizers, both of which were a little bland. The stuffed zucchini blossoms were VERY bland and needed some sort of salt or sauce to give them some life and were very disappointing. The lamb cigar rolls were ok, but were supposed to come with a dipping sauce, but instead had a few dots of the sauce on the rolls themselves, and thus were a little dry and could have been much better and more flavorful.My wife got the lamb chops. They were good, but not as tender as we had hoped, and a little small. I got the duck and orange gastrique, and I really liked my meal. It was very good - easily the best dish of the night.When we got the bill, we saw we had been charged $8 a glass for 'sprite', which was actually lemonade, and not told that it was per glass, or what the cost would have been for the 'sprite' - otherwise we would have stuck to water.My one meal was not worth the overall bad experience we had here.

My husband and I came here on our last night in Boston. I was intrigued by the menu and we were excited to try everything out. To say it was a disappointing last meal in Boston is an understatement. The place was DEAD - maybe that should have been a warning sign. What we ordered: STUFFED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS (ricotta, mint, parmigiano reggiano cheese filling). Extremely bland. Gosh, it needed some salt or some sauce to be semi-edible. LAMB CIGAR ROLLS (braised lamb rolled in phyllo dough, spicy red pepper dip). There was no dip. Just a couple of dots on the actual rolls. Again, super bland and lacking flavor. GRILLED LAMB CHOPS (pomegranate marinade, vegetable caponata, wild berry compote). 3 mini lamb chops. Like mini. Barely any many meat to taste the pomegranate marinade. I felt bad for having to pick the chops up to GNAW on them to get any meat off. DUCK & ORANGE GASTRIQUE (mushroom farrotto, garlic & oil wilted broccoli rabe). Best decision of the night for my husband. gosh.. I wish I had gotten this. Very good! We skipped dessert because nothing caught our eyes. Then we got the bill... I ordered an iced tea and then asked for another once my meal came out. The iced tea was not on the menu, so shame on me for not asking about the price, but shame on this restaurant for not telling me I would be charged $8 dollars per glass. Mind you the glasses are around 6-8oz. So I paid $16 for 16 ounces of tea. Must have had to pull it out of the harbor. Super disappointing experience. Would advise others to skip this place.

Really amazing food but quite expensive. We love the octopus, especially the potato foam! For entree, my favorite is the duck plate: the farrotto gives a slight crunch and the duck is very well-seasoned. The pear-mascarpone ravioli is a little sour and has an interesting taste. The lamb tajine is good, but has too much vegetable and fruits compared to lamb.

Absolutely highly recommend Servia. We ate here last night by chance for a late snack and were "wowed" by the staff, they superbly prepared and truly tasty cuisine. Along with the charming Lady who welcomed, seated, and served our orders, our server provided attentive, good customer service.We are definitely returning, probably sooner than later.

Great food and amazing service! We tried a few different dishes and they were all delicious. The moussaka is a must!

Nice reception, attentive servers, excellent food. Lovely venue. Soft lighting. I'm a return customer.
