The 38 Best Restaurants in Boston | Eater Boston

"Sarma, the sibling to Oleana and Sofra, opened in late 2013 on the tip of Winter Hill in Somerville, just uphill from bustling Union Square. It’s a beautiful, colorful spot with a lively bar scene. Chef and owner Cassie Piuma — who has been recognized as a James Beard semifinalist or finalist eight times in the last ten years — creates a gorgeous array of Eastern Mediterranean-influenced small plates. Know before you go: Reservations are next to impossible to get at the last minute here; planning ahead is important. If you’re walking in, line up outside just before the restaurant opens at 5 p.m. to give yourself the best chance of snagging a bar seat." - Erika Adams
