Fromage Wine Bar and Restaurant

Loved the wine flight choices were fun my server was quite knowledgeable in the selections, the appetizers were inexpensive enough to try a few especially the eggplant, Tatiana my server was great at helping to choose.

Food and service were amazing. Came from New York so celebrate our 15th anniversary.

Really glad I found this spot. Has a chill, cozy vibe — the kind of place you end up staying longer than planned. The wine selection is thoughtful without being overwhelming, and the staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. I had a glass of red they suggested and it was spot on. Brie appetizer? Ridiculously good. definitely get it if it’s on the menu. Whether you’re popping in for a quick glass or settling in for the night, this place just gets it right.

The wine flight was a treat and the escargot and gnocchi apps were awesome! Our server was great as well :) would return!

Tatiana was a great server! Her recommendations were all great and the food and wine was stellar. One of Southies hidden gems, perfect for date night or a girls night

The best restaurant that feels like home while serving top-notch Tuscan cuisine, look no further than Fromage . From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth—not just from the cozy, inviting décor, but from the staff who treat you like family. The highlight of my visit was the Tuscan shrimp, a dish that perfectly balanced fresh, succulent shrimp with a rich, garlicky tomato and cream sauce. Paired with perfectly cooked pasta or a side of crusty bread, every bite was an explosion of flavor. What truly sets this place apart is the passion of the chef and staff. The chef personally checked on our table, eager to share the inspiration behind the dish, and the service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive. Whether you’re dining solo, on a date, or with family, Fromage offers an experience that feels both special and familiar. This is the kind of place that turns first-time guests into regulars. Highly recommend!

Absolutely phenomenal experience. The food was great and full of flavor and the service and wine was fantastic. If you’re in the area and haven’t been yet go. The place deserves to be packed.

The charcuterie board was great for sharing, and the chicken parm sandwich was extremely delicious. They have wonderful selection of wines too!! The service was excellent. Tatyana took great care of us and we loved any minute.

Tatiana was so friendly and attentive to us as we enjoyed a delicious meal with personalized wine pairings. The baked Brie with lingonberry was out of this world. I highly recommend this place for any occasion from an afternoon lunch to a romantic dinner.

I have eaten in many European based restaurants while living in Europe and here in the US. The quality of the ingredients used in making some of the dishes I've tried has always been very high. The service and ambiance are great so you can relax and enjoy your meal. I also found this restaurant to be very clean all the time!!! Very nice job Fromage! Hope to visit you again

We were served wine that had gone bad. Cheese looked and tasted like it was left out for a while, also looked like some pieces had been melted and then refrigerated... meatballs were both over and undercooked. Nothing was homemade, completely processed. The only thing good was the service.... because we were the only people in the restaurant.

Nice evening out. This place is always empty when we go by and we decided to give it a whirl. I've lunched there on my own a while back, but first time we've had dinner there. Atmosphere is lovely. There were only two other tables on a cold Friday night. We had tried to reserve online and it wouldn't work so we showed up without and were easily seated. The service was exemplary. He was very friendly, made recommendations. We had the appetizer sampler, choose 3, we had the arancini, mozzarello wrapped in prosciutto ( which was fried) and truffle fries. This was supposedly homemade, but tasted reheated and I disliked that the prosciutto being fried. The entrees were much better and we enjoyed beef stroganoff and shrimp scampi. We then enjoyed his recommendation of nutella crepe for dessert.

Fromage has a cozy atmosphere and good vibes for cheese and wine. Their cheese boards were good but I've definitely had better, same with the kale salad. Overall good place but I've had better charcuterie boards and share plates. Also wine was overpriced, they were selling $15 bottles of wine for $60.

Great place for apps and drinks! Waiter was very attentive and the service was prompt. Highly recommend!

What a treat!!! Came in for an early Mother's Day dinner.. great atmosphere! Started with truffle fries and a charcuterie cheese board. Terrific!! I had the beef stroganoff. Fantastic! Service was great ! Highly, HIGHLY recommended!

So many things to say about this place: -They were one of the only restaurants in the area that wasn't blasting loud music and overflowing with college kids looking to party (which is a positive) -This place is quite small and we had to sit at the bar since they didn't have many tables -The service was good, when the wait staff actually spoke to us. We felt bad since there were only 2 men working for the whole restaurant. Hard to provide good service if you're understaffed. -The wine was good! I recommend this place if you want good charcuterie and wine. Very tasty! -The portions are pretty small so either don't come very hungry or get an appetizer! -The Nutella crepe was the most delicious thing I ate! Save room for dessert!!

This place was amazing. The owner is really nice and she makes sure you are taking care of. I definitely had a great experience dining at this restaurant.

amazing food! i had the french onion soup. theo was our waiter & he was so kind and helpful and attentive! will for sure be back.

cannot recommend this place enough! great food and drinks and even better vibes. Theo was our waiter and he was exceptional. we will definitely be back!

I'm so surprised this place isn't busier on a Friday night! We had the best dinner experience and our waiter Teodor was exceptional. He gave us all the best recommendations and our food was so great - the appetizers especially, we got the escargot and baked Brie with lingonberry. The wine flights were a great experience and the banana foster for dessert. Will definitely be coming back!

I went to Fromage with a friend after it was highly recommended from colleagues and I think this was on of the worst dining experiences I've had in Boston. We started with the appetizer platter and baked Brie, which were both delicious. It took about 30 minutes to get our food. We then ordered the saffron risotto and gnocchi, this is where they lost us. It again took forever to get our food and the risotto was horrible. The chicken was over cooked and the risotto tasted like chlorine (cue childhood memories of a public pool). Gnocchi was good, not great. Wine was good, but we spent over two hours there, had slow service and mediocre food. In a city full of great Italian food, I'd go elsewhere.

Delicious food and amazing service! Such a cute place! Wish we had this at home. Amazing cheeses and meats in the deli too.

The food is a 5+! Exceptional!!! The wine selection wasn't up to our tastes. The server William was excellent we will definitely return for the exceptional taste of the shrimp!

Cons: Unfortunately, this restaurant didn't meet expectations. Marketed as a wine bar, our server was unknowledgeable about the wine list and every glass we tried tasted like the bottle had been opened awhile. Pros: The food was redeeming after our drink experience. We tried the Italian wedding soup, truffle kale salad, arancini, and the baked Brie with strawberry. All plates were flavorful, appropriate portions, and tasty. Lastly, the ambiance was amazing! Quiet and intimate. It wasn't packed and we weren't rushed.

Really great food and ambience. This place is like a cute hidden gem in Southie. I think some of the food needed a little extra seasoning like the beef stroganoff and escargot but overall we had such a nice experience dining here. The baked Brie was a fun appetizer but needed something a little sweet to balance out the acidity from the fruit. Service was also great- we had a nice server.

Great food and they were super nice to us. Nice background music very romantic place to sit and chat.

The food was horrible, it tasted like frozen food that was warmed up. I found a fly frozen in the ice in my sangria which makes me question cleanliness in the kitchen. Staff made inappropriate jokes. It was expensive and I'm shocked they are in business.

Really delicious food and wine, and pretty good service! When we got here for dinner on a Saturday night, the entire place was empty and we got seated right away. The wine flights offered 4 small wine glasses for $25 and there was a white, red, and rose set. To start off, we got the antipasto platter, which was amazing! We then followed with a bunch of apps to share and 2 entrees (also to share). The best apps we're the the pork belly, burrata plate, and calamari. The duck entree was also incredibly delicious. I would give this place 5 stars except the wait staff didn't seem to know much about the menu and the price was a bit too high for the food and drink (and location). But overall a good experience!

Our dinner at Fromage Wine Bar and Restaurant was simply a delight. We were originally looking for another restaurant, but accidentally walked into Fromage. How very fortunate! The surroundings were warm and welcoming even with social distancing. Our server was friendly and attentive, with a great sense of humor. My husband ordered the risotto with grilled chicken. The risotto was hot and creamy and the chicken, tender and well-seasoned was cooked perfectly. I ordered the Crepe Stroganoff with a side Caesar salad. The crepe was tender and generously filled with Fromage's signature beef stroganoff. The salad was perfectly proportioned and not overly dressed. Their Caesar dressing was surprisingly refreshing. It was much more like a vinaigrette than the usual heavy creamy Caesar dressing, and yet had all the flavor you'd expect. At the close of dinner we ordered two cappuccinos and they quickly came piping hot. My husband who likes his coffee hot was delighted. Honestly, it was a happy mistake that we had dinner at Fromage. We know how hard it can be to keep a restaurant going any time, let alone during COVID. This truly hit the spot.

Very trendy and way overpriced. Reservations are only taken on line. It was getting late so we waited and waited for a seat. Another couple waited as long as we did, and had reservations. They had no ginger ale. The food portions were small (and I don't eat big. The service could have been better. They had kitchen help and only two servers for the entire dining room. The food was just ok. I was still a little hungry when we left. We couldn't wait until we got out of Southie.

My boyfriend & I went to dine for the first time here and we had a delightful time. It was very quiet and it was just the two of us, since we went for a late lunch. We got the three-cheese platter for starters paired with a glass of rosé (I believe it was Rioja Bordon) to go along with it, as recommended by our server who was super friendly and professional. Followed by the Zesty Beet Salad for me and the Beef Stroganoff for my boyfriend -- both dishes were tasty and fresh. I rate my overall experience at Fromage 4 stars, despite the delicious dishes and amazing service, I didn't really like the interior and the vibe of the restaurant. Just a small subjective opinion! I would definitely come back and try more dishes from their menu (and order their cheese platter again!)

This definitely is becoming our favorite Wine and Cheese Bar. We were looking for a nice place for Friday dinner among friends and we came across this place in Yelp. This place has great reviews and after we tried this place we understood why!! The place was very nice. Ambiance was good. Staff was friendly and food and wine were GREAT!! They have many many wine and cheese selections. We pretty much loved everything we ordered....however, the highlight dishes are; the baked brie and plateaux delice (with truffle cheese....yummmm!). MUST TRY!! We strongly recommend this place for a date night, friend gathering or evening for a relaxing night out.

They open at 12. We had a 2:30 reservation. We arrive at 2:30 and they are closed! The lights were on and the sign on the door said open.... But the doors were locked and no one was there. Pretty upset about this. It was also a horribly rainy day so we were stuck out in the rain.

There's a large selection of wines and cheese, so you'll def find something to whet your appetite. My friend and I came on a Friday night around 7pm and the place was totally empty! By the time we left around 9pm, there were a couple more groups there, but really - you don't have to worry about a wait because it's a large space with PLENTY of seating. We ordered a cheese board with 3 cheeses, the Baked Brie, the crab cake, and the Arancini (rice and cheese balls). All were good, but short of amazing. And across the board, portion sizes were SMALL! The cheese board is very customizable - just let your waiter know what types of cheeses you like / dislike and you'll get some highly recommended options. The Baked Brie was super heavy on the preserves and more reminiscent of a danish than anything. The crab cake was decent, and not large enough! And the Arancini was also decent - its main purpose was honestly just to fill us up because all of the above were simply not enough. Overall - not a bad stop for some light eats and drinks, all the while avoiding the crowds!

The first time I went to Fromage was for my 22nd birthday about 2 years ago, and ever since then I have been consistently going back. The inside does not appear to be much, 2000s Italian Kitchen decor vibe with deli like seats, however, this place is nothing less than the best. Today, my boyfriend and I came in but unfortunately 2 of their servers called out sick; leaving the manager, Tatyana, to run front of house AND back of house, by herself. She said it was takeout only, which we were going to do, until she said "have a seat, order whatever you want". We were shocked by her hospitality, but nonetheless felt welcomed and cared for. We ordered a bottle of the Chateau August's Bordeaux, a dry rose, which Tatyana kindly recommended. We thought it was delicious. For food, we ordered the Plateaux Delice, which came with assorted meats and cheeses, beautifully presented. We went on to order the Gambas al Ajillo, Arancchini, and french onion soup, all rating a 10/10. This place is like no other southie establishment. It is better. Come here for your girl dinner ;) , your date nights, or a long day after work needing a glass of great wine. They will take care of you!!!

Super cute wine bar! Mac and cheese was delicious and loved the vibe. Great service (meagan was our server). Thumbs up all around

One of the worst establishments I've ever been to. The "cheese platter" was 4 slices of the same kind of cheese and 3 crackers with a few grapes. It should have been a red flag to us when we were one of the only 2 tables in this entire place at 7 pm on a Thursday night but this was BAD. We got charged a $20 reservation fee becuase we made a reservation on open table (should be doing the restaurant a favor) and when we asked for an explanation the manager told us we needed to spend at least $50 per person at this restaurant. She told she was losing money by us being here. The cheese was bad and service was worse. Do not go here!!!!!

I really want to love this place- it has a lot of potential and a cute vibe. Plus it's so different from the other restaurants nearby (quiet and cozy, not a loud party scene). The food was good, but the selection of you want an entree is quite limited. The service was pretty mediocre- slow, inattentive, friendly enough. They also charged something called a "market price" fee which they snuck on the check without explaining it anymore on the menu or restaurant. That really bothered me- totally sneaky and non transparent. Of course businesses need to pass the cost of inflation to their customers, but they need to do it in a transparent way- change the prices on your menu or have a note about the fee on your menu/website, don't just charge a secret fee and hope no one notices so you don't have to do the work to update your menu and communicate openly with your customers!

Awesome cheese and nice selection of wine! Service is great, the wine flight is a nice plus and the Baked Brie with blueberry jam was amazing!

We were a bit hesitant walking in, since the place was empty, but clearly it's just a hidden gem! Food: We got the baked brie and the 5 cheese cheese monger tasting platter. The baked brie was lacking in brie so i would suggest skipping that, but the cheese plate more than made up for that. So good!! Our tasting plate had a triple creme French cheese, a Danish cheddar, a cloth Vermont cheddar, an Italian cheese with white truffle, and a blue cheese with honey. Drinks: I got a wine flight with a les violettes rose, a viogner/chenin blanc blend, a nobila chardonnay, and a nahe riesling. They were all delicious and the waitress was incredibly helpful in picking wines we would like. Service: Other reviews complained about the service, but the service was actually really great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town!

Had family visiting from canada and we couldn't decide on what to eat. Walking by saw that it was quaint and quiet unlike other restaurants on the street. I like to be able to have a conversation with who I'm having dinner with. I just have to say the owner Tatyana knows her wines and her menu. She was super friendly and i recommend this cute little place to anyone. Every thing we ate was amazing and i mean amazing that it has been three days since i visited this restaurant and I'm craving everything we ate

This place has so much potential but the indoors aesthetic could use some updating. The food was just fine. The wine and service was fantastic though.

Went with friends on a rainy Saturday and we were instantly transported to Europe! Wine was delicious, food was amazing. The service was great as well, Marsha is lovely! We will be back.

Fromage was an interesting place. It was fun to visit as it was within walking distance to my hotel, but I probably wouldn't go back. The experience was just "okay". I didn't feel wow'ed by the service, pricing, location, or the food, but it's worth a visit if you think their menu is going to appeal to you. PROS: -They do offer a happy hour pricing (half price small plates form 4PM to 6PM) and a cheaper lunch menu. This helps bring down their not-horrid prices even further. -The restaurant is very cute, and it has a small, classy atmosphere that seems very misplaced in Southie. The store-front seems fancy, and there are table and booth combinations inside the restaurant to choose from. -Their crepe was pretty good. It definitely had a nice, light desert taste to it - it clearly wasn't designed as a full meal, but it did still run over $10 just for the crepe. -Food presentation here is pretty nice. Food is served on nice, clean white plates with garnishes and attention to detail. You'll feel like you're receiving a high-end meal when the food is served. CONS: -Don't sit by the window. Not sure what it was, but there were a ton of bugs and flies buzzing around the window. Seems like a cute seat, but after they landed on our food and made those portions unedible, it wasn't so cute anymore. -We were one of two tables in the restaurant, but we had to wait a relatively long time for our checks - and didn't receive drink refills. It looks like the sole waiter was chatting up the kitchen staff without paying too much attention to the tables. When we gave our credit card to pay, it took an abnormally long time to get it back as well - again, with a nearly-empty restaurant. -They don't open until noon. This is relatively late for a restaurant that offers some breakfast-type dishes. -Their water isn't filtered. This is coming from an out-of-towner, but Boston's water tastes horrid. Some restaurants have offered filtered, but this one does not. -Bill wasn't cheap. It wasn't horrible, but it seemed relatively overpriced for the area that this restaurant was in. It was next door to a liquor store and some of the area seemed like old, closed businesses.

I really enjoyed my wine flight and cheese plate from here. I called that morning and made a reservation since they can only hold so many people, and it was great. The server was attentive and it was a nice evening out.

Our server William was an experience! I had so much fun here. He was so kind, patient. He had great recommendations and the hospitality was beyond expectations. So glad I came here

This place is horrible. DO NOT GO!!! We order the small cheese board and was charged for the large. They forgot two items on the cheese board. We ordered a dessert the waitress never brought and didn't even apologize. She served the wrong wine. order Pinot and gave Chardonnay and tried to say it was Pinot. charged for bread and olive oil. the waitress was soooo horrible. she never came to our table. The Brie dish was burn. never ever will go back and will never recommend. DO NOT GO. complete waste if money for terrible food, wine and service

Fabulous night out with friends at Fromage! Very extensive wine list that will certainly please all. We had a very tasty charcuterie platter to start along with the asparagus and truffle fries. Followed up with a delicious mushroom risotto topped with shrimp. The south end may not be the easiest to get to, but Fromage is well worth it!

Genuinely confused by all of the 5 stars. A few caveats to this review: 1. We were told their were under staffed due to a no-show 2. We were also told there was new wait staff...so keeping this in mind; We waited 20 minutes before someone even acknowledged our presence (I was 30 seconds from getting up and leaving); despite there only being 6 tables (1 group of ~6-8, and 5 tables of 2) and a handful of people at the bar. We ordered a bottle of red, the cheese plate, French onion soup and arancini balls. The bottle was ok ($40 price tag, 12.99 retail); the cheese plate came with no explanation so honestly couldn't tell you what we tried, accompanied by honey roasted peanuts that looked exactly like why I could buy in the grocery store, dried cranberries, a small snip of grapes, and what I assume to be a blueberry compote, which again, looked like a blueberry jam we got from our recent trip in Maine. Summary being - I could have made this cheese board at home. Soup was fine, rice balls were fine; nothing to write home about. We attempted dessert, but they were out of the two things we would have considered; and I know this can happen. All in all, Fromage provides a quiet alternative to almost every other restaurant in Southie, but not a whole lot more.

This place is fantastic! We stumbled in randomly just to have a glass of wine and ended up ordering a cheese plate and dessert. Hands down, the best cheese plate I've ever had (and I've had many). We ordered the Italian cheeses, which came with assorted fresh fruit. The truffle cheese was incredible and the fruit was fresh and full of flavor. We also had gelato- the pistachio was delicious. Overall I was extremely impressed pleasantly surprised. I've walked by and overlooked Fromage many times since they opened. We will definitely be back. Also of note, they have an excellent beer selection. The owner must be after my heart-- Duvel and Dales Pale Ale? Yes, please! Add Chimay white and I'll be there every day!

Our server, Tatianna, was amazing. So sweet, knowledgable on the menu, and accomodating. I recommend The Punishment pinot noir. Great selection of meat and cheese boards. Everything was delicious and it had a great atmosphere. Overall wonderful experience.

This Friday I was walking around with a friend trying to find a place for dinner and all the gentrified newish places were so packed. So when we stumbled on Fromage we thought we would try it out. We got a couple small plates to share and dessert. I loved the risotto rice balls (I forgot the name) they were stuffed with mozzarella and deep fried. The chorizo and shrimp was really good also. The asparagus plate was under whelming. The creme brûlée was decent but not that good and the sugar topping was a little thick. Otherwise service was good and they had a good selection of wine and beer.

Being just down the street, I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately this was not the case. First of all, the atmosphere here is kind of odd - the blue underglow really threw me off. I would have let that go had the experience been better. My husband and I each ordered a glass of red wine (different ones) after asking for recommendations from our server. Neither one of us liked what we ended up with - a rarity for us because we enjoy most red wines. Possible that the wines we got were corked? We also ordered the baked brie which was a mistake. It was more of a cheese danish or bried turnover - not the traditional baked wheel. It was very sweet and sugary. Not my cup of tea. Could have been an off night and maybe we just ordered the wrong things but I'm a little hesitant to go back.

The wine was absolutely spectacular, we drank the Broquel Malbec. My boyfriend had the Pate as the appetizer and I had the Bree wrapped in puff pastry with blueberries...Omg both dishes were so good. We also got a 5 cheese platter and 3 meat platter. They were large portions, we still ended up getting more cheese because it was just that good. But the best part had to be Tatiana, our server. She was so kind and so helpful. We bonded over their delicious food. We are in town for business for a couple of days and this place is just a cherry on top of an awesome trip. Thank you, Tatiana. We look forward to coming back.

Amongst the shroud of loud Southie millennial bar restaurants, Fromage is the hidden gem with sublime service, flavor, and atmosphere. The smooth jazz blends perfectly with the myriad of French and Italian wines, made better only by the exquisite and trusted taste in fine cheeses. It's fuckin good food and mad chill.

Fromage had been teasing us Southie residents for years before it finally opened a few months ago. Unfortunately, it hasn't quite lived up to everything I hoped and dreamed it would be (two years of waiting and speculation will do that to you). Service overall has been OK, but spotty at times. I've heard this from friends on various occasions as well. The food for me has been hit or miss -- the charcuterie options are high points on the menu and the staff is actually pretty knowledgeable about the products. Drinks wise, I was hoping for more craft beer as it was heavily advertised before the opening. I'm not typically a wine drinker but they have a ton of wine taps behind the bar, and the bartender seemed to know what he was talking about when it came to the various options and pairings. I still have pretty high hopes for Fromage and I'm sure will keep giving it chances every time I walk past hungry.

We visited Fromage Wine Bar for the first time yesterday, twice. We dropped in pre-show for a glass or two of wine and some delicious cheese and liked what we saw so much that we went back for dinner after the performance. Fromage is a beautifully designed wine bar under the guidance Tatianna and her great staff. Fantastic wines available by the glass or bottle. A very varied menu featuring small plates as well as soups, salads, full entrées and very delicious savory crepes. We had lovely Pinot noirs and two super French rosés, one Corsican and one Provençal. Super service was provided by the lovely Veronika. We started with French Onion soup, some yummy tapas (calamari and prosciutto-wrapped grilled asparagus) followed by excellent Chicken Kiev and a huge and delicious savory chicken crepe, all prepared perfectly in packed restaurant. Desserts were excellent, too, especially the tiramisu. We'll be back!
