"A writer described a recent first visit: "I had a really special dinner there. The duck was amazing, but I’m still thinking about how delicious the nine-hour French onion soup is. If it wasn’t such a nice restaurant, I would’ve tipped the bowl to my mouth." — Nathan Tavares, freelance writer and Eater Boston contributor. The highlights are a standout duck and a notably rich, long-cooked nine-hour French onion soup that lingers in memory, conveying both comfort and refinement." - Erika Adams
"Considering that martinis are basically glasses of just alcohol, it’s surprising just how smooth the namesake martini is at this elegant French restaurant in Back Bay. You can thank the presence of a few luxe liquors for the Deuxave martini’s almost velvet feel: Procera Blue Dot gin, Yzaguirre Dry Vermouth, and Kapriol — a slightly herby liqueur made from juniper berries. A delicate curl of lemon peel brings just a hint of citrus. It’s a splurge-y cocktail to luxuriate over a long meal, especially Deuxave’s duck dishes, which are a house specialty." - Anna Darrow
"Back Bay’s Deuxave is very suitable for special-occasion dining, and the crispy duck confit is hard to beat. Don’t miss the cocktail list, and definitely save room for dessert." - Celina Colby
"Giselle Miller returns to head the pastry and bread program." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"A Boston restaurant where the contestant moved after earlier stints and now oversees kitchen operations as part of a larger group." - Greg Morabito
