"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
"On opening night at Deuxave I remember being incredibly nervous but grateful: unlike the massive crowds some openings see, Deuxave’s first night was tranquil and controlled—we fed about 30 or 40 people—and that calm debut was a relief after a full renovation of the space formerly Cafe Brazil." - Eater Staff
"After leaving Menton, Giselle Miller is returning to Deuxave to head up the French fine-dining spot's pastry and bread program; I noted she previously worked there from 2011 to 2014, and co-owner Chris Coombs said welcoming her back is 'like a family reunion,' praising her talent, passion and drive." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
