    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.

    As a happy patron of sister dining room Fat Hen we have long intended to try La Brasa and now my only regret is that we didn’t make that acquaintance sooner, ‘cause this place is simply all-around great. All our dishes were delicious, from small bites to mains to dessert, and the service was exceptional—Patrick has leapt to the post position in our personal ‘best Boston area waitstaff’ list. Definitely looking forward to sharing La Brasa with friends and family!

    Sides were great. Mains variable. Swordfish thin/a bit dry and prawns a tad tough. Drinks excellent but lots of ice so volume low at price.

    The food was very well prepared and tasty. The timing of the dishes provided was not optimal as sides were provided way before the entrées were. Our server did not ask how we wanted our dishes timed either. Desserts came at different times as opposed to at once. Our bill was also an issue, not divided equally and so the bill had to be run again. Maybe due to new service and some growing pains, but dishes were very well done.
