Tasting Table: 10 Of The Hardest Restaurant Reservations To Get In Boston - Tasting Table

By Mona Bassil

Boston attracts millions of domestic and international visitors per year, who flock to admire its seamless mix of old and modern architecture, enjoy its numerous parks and athletic fields, and explore its eclectic food scene. Indeed, the capital of Massachusetts conjures up tempting images of decadent cream pies, seafood dishes like Boston clam chowder, and trendy wine-focused establishments. As one of the most diverse culinary destinations in the United States, this historic city boasts over 4000 restaurants, some of which are rather hard to get into — especially for dinner on the weekend.

Behold some of the most in-demand restaurants in Boston, spanning various cuisines, concepts, and atmospheres, where getting reservations is a struggle — unless, of course, you're a celebrity or a jet-setter. We've included some helpful tips on how to secure a seat (or possibly bypass the process altogether) based on various online reviews. If you're able to snag any of these elusive bookings, consider yourself lucky and let us know — did the dining experience meet your expectations enough to be worth the wait and effort?

Krasi

Nestled in the heart of Boston's Back Bay, Krasi – meaning "wine" in Greek – is, you guessed it, a modern chic Greek wine bar. A visit to its website will greet you with a tantalizing proclamation: "Krasi is love. Krasi is life." Intrigued? Your curiosity would be easy to satisfy if a standard table wasn't so difficult to snag, as the place sometimes books out three months in advance. Wednesday reservations may be particularly hard to get, as Krasi offers wine tasting with meze pairing from 5 to 9:30 p.m. during what it calls Symposium Wednesday. It might be easier for walk-ins to get a table on another weekday, or you could simply choose to order takeout.

Krasi has three menus to choose from: weekend brunch, dinner, and wine. Some highlights include the house's take on lalagites (fried pancakes with thyme honey and kalathaki cheese), gyro Benedict, and rizogalo (coconut milk rice pudding with cinnamon and cardamom). The list of spirits to pair them with is quite extensive and covers many regions, such as mastiha liqueur from Chios, dessert wines from Cyprus and Santorini, and beer from Paros.
