Pressé at Sonsie
327 Newbury St, Boston, MA
Crema's Take
“Pressé at Sonsie is a bustling Back Bay brunch destination where the real stars are the creative cocktails and surprising hidden gems like their secret menu chicken parm—though the food can be inconsistent, with some dishes like the warm crab dip and sprouts shining while others fall flat. The lively, social atmosphere makes it ideal for meeting up with friends over oysters and craft drinks, though you'll want to embrace the noise and energy rather than expect an intimate setting.”

Food is soso Found it simple and not that great. Had noodles and sprouts appetiser. Sprouts were v good - tasty well seasoned Thai style noodles were too watery and not worth it Most disappointing is thst i started at the bar, but couldnt transfer the bill to my dinner table - i had to settle. Its not terrible, its a good modern bistro. But theres better
We had avocado toast with added crab. It was good, but needed something fresh and bright. Maybe some lemon juice. The place was busy for brunch and a little more loud than I wanted to. Had a nice bolgierri rosso by the glass.
Just had an incredible experience at Sonsie! Their secret menu chicken parm over spicy vodka pasta is unreal — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and indulgent. The cocktails and oysters are just as impressive, and the dessert finale, especially the chocolate bread pudding, is the perfect sweet ending. The staff was attentive and friendly, making the whole meal feel extra special. Definitely a hidden gem in Back Bay — every bite feels like a local secret. Can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu!
Lovely brunch spot with a large menu and nice portion sizes. I liked how the avocado toast comes with an egg. Two criticisms: It’s pretty loud inside when it’s crowded making it a little hard to talk. The bathrooms are small, with on lock being broken and a poorly placed trash can so there is no easy way to wash hands and open the door with the paper towel or foot pull so everyone has to touch the trash can and handle.
Friendly, attentive staff. Lots of good looking and tasty sounding food, the warm crab dip was a delight to the taste buds. 12oz ribeye tasted under seasoned to start with, but the flavours soon rolled over the tongue beautifully.
