The $1 oysters 5-6 were a good deal. The food was pretty good, but not worth the price. The meats were done well. The burger was great. Terrible service. Overrated and overpriced cocktails. $20 for 2 empanadas the size of a piece of sushi. We were there for 30 min before anyone even checked in on us and there were maybe 10 people in the entire restaurant. We had to ask for service multiple times. We won’t be back.

Food was good. That’s about it. Food took way too long to come out, and was insanely overpriced. Like the worst value I’ve seen in Boston.

Table was booked 5 days in advance for VD. Checked in at 5:15 PM. My main food was ready after 45 minutes and my friend’s after 65 minutes!!! (Yes 65 minutes) The funny part was I had paid parking for only two hours. For a 175-dollar meal, I should be expected to want to come back to that place but I am not coming back. The only good thing about this place is the interior; it’s very nice, well lit, very beautiful. Overall, the service is as expensive as it is awful.

Service was absolutely great. Waiter was able to advise on sharing plates so all of us had enough of the great food. Brussels Sprouts were amazing! We will be back!

The staff/service was great. Ambiance was great. Ordered the potato bravas which were prepared perfectly crisp and the best part of the meal. Do not recommend the pork tacos as they were bland in flavor and dripped all over the place. Everything is expensive and ala carte for reference. Wagyu was good, extra rare which I didn't mind but my companion would have preferred medium and were not given a choice. The corn elote had green onions instead of cilantro which didnt seem authentic.

This was our first visit to La Brasa. Wish we had tried it sooner. We started with the oysters, which were excellent, followed by the duck empanadas and potato w/mushroom starters, which were also great. For our mains, we had the pork shoulder and a steak dish, both of which were cooked perfectly and delicious. We wrapped up with the chocolate mousse and flan desserts, which were a great ending to a wonderful evening. The bar drinks were creative and tasty. Our server (Ryan) was terrific, and the overall staff was attentive throughout the evening. We'll definitely be going back.
