" SRV is definitely one of Boston's best-kept secrets! Every dish we tried had the perfect balance of flavors; the wine pairings were spot on too. The ambiance of the restaurant is cozy and inviting, perfect for intimate dinners. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and shared insights about every dish as well, which added to the overall experience. Even though it came with a hefty price, I believe it was worth it for the quality of gastronomy offered. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at SRV was decent. I found a lovely atmosphere perfect for dining, but I had higher hopes for the food itself. While some dishes surprised me with their creativity, others felt lacking in depth of flavor. The service was friendly, but everything felt a bit slow, making me feel rushed as the night went on. Not a bad experience, but perhaps just not my style. Would I return? Maybe for a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm very delighted by SRV—every meal I've had here has been fantastic! The service is consistently pleasant and knowledgeable. On my last visit, I particularly enjoyed the clams—they were succulent and flavorful! The atmosphere sets a great vibe, but the loud chatter can get distracting during peak hours. Regardless, the food more than makes up for it, and I'll certainly be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at SRV was an absolute pleasure! The highlight was definitely the squid ink risotto—it was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The ambiance was cozy, with soft lighting that set the mood for a lovely evening. Our server was professional and attentive but not overly intrusive. My only regret is that I didn't save room for dessert, as the tiramisu looked delightful. I can't wait to return for another unforgettable meal! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a vegetarian, I was thrilled with the creative options at SRV. They really know how to elevate veggies into gourmet dishes! The quality was top-notch, yet I felt the desserts were a bit lacking in comparison to the main courses. The atmosphere was lively, perfect for dinner with friends, but be sure to book in advance; it gets busy! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was fortunate to try SRV while visiting Boston. The squid ink risotto was something special—so creamy and with fantastic flavor. However, I felt the desserts did not quite hit the mark. The ambiance is nice, though a bit buzzing for my preference. The staff were attentive, but I expected a bit more from such a high-end establishment. Overall, a solid choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner last night at SRV and left absolutely satisfied! The standout was the fried quail, bursting with flavor. The banter with my waiter made the service feel personalized and friendly. The vibe of the restaurant was warm and inviting, albeit a tad noisy due to the bustling crowd. Nonetheless, every dish we had was delightful, making this a restaurant I would gladly visit again!
