Aquitaine

I was there for dinner with my wife. Fabio was our server, and as usually I love to tell my server surprise me with a 3 course meal. So to start he recommended the mussels, which I had to even drink the broth it was soooo tasty 😋!!! Then I got the snails with butter and garlic!!! Omg they were just perfect. Then for main courses we got the duck raviolis with mushrooms which they were outstanding, and then the grill duck confit, which was very juicy but the skin could be a little more crispier, but still the inside was professionally cooked. For dessert we had the traditional and perfectly made crème brûlée with 2 delicious espresso martinis. Worth every penny spent there and love the old style of back bay fine dining restaurant.

01/17/2026: We just had an unforgettable dinner at Aquitaine, and I'm still swooning 😍! From start to finish, the service was top-notch, and the food was pure magic 👨‍🍳 . Chef Lilo is a master of his craft - bravo! 👏 The atmosphere is wonderfully cozy, making it easy to lose track of time (in the best way possible). We had the Duck and short ribs, both incredible, but I'm already planning my next visit to try something new 😋. If you're looking for a special spot for any occasion, Aquitaine is a 10/10 recommendation from us! Can't wait to bring friends and family, and celebrate more milestones here 💛 Once again Thank you Chef Lilo 🙏🏾

This is one of the places you start taking pictures for your reviews, but but the time all good comes in, you forget to finish your task just because food is that good. We visited Aquitaine for the wife’s birthday and they did not disappoint, let’s start with Fabio and his team, they went above and beyond just to make this special day and even greater one, they treated us like royalty. The team took their time to explain every dish, its origin and made recommendations that just felt right. Food was amazing, tasty as it agrees with your palate. I highly recommend them, for their professionalism, fun spirits and great food.

Phenomenal service. Food tasted amazing, drinks were great. Portions were a little small but for the quality I find that tradeoff acceptable. Not as expensive as you might believe! Good upscale date night option!

We went for Saturday brunch at 1pm- standard French options as well as the usual breakfast items available. We ordered the burger (it had only cooked onions, meat and a very tasty soft french onion roll) and French onion soup, along with their bread pudding (really nice, had a good crust on it for texture) and classic French mousse (it was fabulous)- all of it was delicious. 4 stars because both of their bathrooms had no toilet paper and they had facial tissues on a chair for their patrons to use- not ok, I feel like someone on their staff should've managed their bathrooms more adequately on a busy Saturday afternoon.
