Desfina Restaurant

I had the Shrimp Desfina, which was really delicious. The lemon and feta cheese were great complements to the shrimps and rice. They gave about 9 to 10 shrimps, which was really generous. Furthermore, I was also surprised that they served three slices of bread with butter and a special dressing. The service staff were kind and checked on me to ask if I needed anything. One of the staff members even took the initiative to tell me that I can shake the dressing and add it to the bread, as I was initially unsure what it was for. The staff members were always available, so I could easily ask them for a packaging box to take away the rest of my food. Finally, I enjoyed the nice ambience, which fitted the Greek theme of the restaurant.

We come to Desfina once every time we are in Cambridge/ Boston. Their grilled seafood is excellent. Depending on your taste buds, you might want to add a few shakes from the salt shaker. I've gotten lamb their as well and it's usually very good as well although we prefer to stick to the seafood. We tried the desserts last night, they were a bit overwhelmingly sweet and big. I think my biggest issue is that they were cold. I would have wanted them warmed up, but overall, another great experience at Desfinas! Most of the time the service is very good, last night they did an excellent job with us although it was so busy. When you go during dinner time it can get quite crowded and loud so just be aware you might want to make a reservation ahead of time. Most people that go are locals so the pl

Finally checked Desfina out. I had the special Grillied Swordfish, Cristian had the Shrimp Desfina. The waitstaff was great , friendly and the food was delicious. It is winter time plus extra cold tonight, I recommend wearing a long sleeve top when you go, my short sleeve polo left be a little chilled. I will return here as I want to try the lamb still.

I had an appetizer, grilled octopus and it was pretty good. I would have ordered a full meal but my experience didn’t start good. As I was going to sit down, the manager (or owner) just grabbed my chair and walked away with it even as I’m saying I’m sitting there. Anyway, the waitress Malika was friendly and attentive. I have no interest in going back.

I have visited Boston multiple times and this may be my favorite meal so far. Notable mentions include the pistachio martini, the fresh tzatziki, the mousakka (holy cow the bechamel sauce), and the house made vinaigrette for dipping the fresh artisan bread. Every bite was fantastic. Lovely atmosphere too!
