Bar Vlaha

I was able to go to this restaurant for dinner on its opening night, and it did not disappoint! The aesthetic is lovely. It really feels like being in my grandmother’s kitchen! It truly feels authentic to its Greek roots. I love the presentation of the water. It takes me back to my great-grandmother’s house. The drinks are great. I ordered the Pump the Briki — a twist on an espresso martini — delicious. The presentation is beautiful! The bartenders are masterful in their drink making skills. I also ordered a glass of wine — the PORTO CARRAS LIMNIO — and I loved it. I especially appreciated the backstory on how the wine is created, as a wine lover myself. For the food, I ordered the HORIATIKO PSOMI, MAVROMATIKA, and the KARAVIDES. They were ALL amazing. The bread has a bit of sea salt to it, which sets it apart. The mavromatika was a great bean-based salad, and I normally don’t care for beans! However, it was splendid. Finally. The Karavides. What can I say? My taste buds felt electrified by the sensational flavors happening in my mouth. I’ve never tasted anything like it. You don’t just eat the food here; it’s an experience to be treasured. The kitchen staff is truly excellent. This restaurant is another win for the Xenia Hospitality Group, and I cannot recommend it enough. Everyone must go here!

Brookline gets another great restaurant and right nearby Barcelona!!! Friendly staff, loud music and plenty of others to enjoy the food with. Make sure to place a reservation seats fill up fast. My stunning deaf girlfriend even got to sign with the waiter!

Went with my Greek friend and sat at the chefs tables. We got two cocktails to share: the pump the briki and the Greeky tiki freaky. For food we had the hard goats and sheep cheep, charred eggplant, pita and sausage. Wow. It was so many amazing tastes and the vibe of the restaurant was electric- everyone so happy to be there! Thanks for having us, we want to come back we were too full for dessert.

A novel focus on region-specific Greek fare. One of the better meals I've had. Small portions and communal family-style eating enable trying multiple dishes, and every item left nothing to be desired. Can't wait to eat the whole menu. Food arrived quickly and staff were great.

I can’t put into words what I just experienced! Service 5-Star, Menu is 5-Star, Vibe is 5-Star. I can’t wait to go back to Greece in Brookline!
