Seasonal tasting menus with French & Asian influences, BYOB
"South Boston recently had a restaurant glow-up, and Lenox Sophia is a welcome addition to the growing lineup. This cool, casual spot turns out a French and Asian tasting menu four nights a week for under $100, featuring things like tagliatelle with black truffles and buttermilk fried quail with nori wasabi seasoning. Everything you eat is going to be excellent, whether you go for the omnivore or vegetarian menu. This spot is tiny and almost always packed, so make a reservation and stop by Social Wines on the corner to pick out a bottle before heading over—this is one of the few BYOB restaurants in Boston." - tanya edwards, jonathan smith
"Owner and chef Shi Mei describes Lenox Sophia as a “casual fine-dining establishment,” where diners take part in a five-course tasting menu that feels like it might be staged in Mei’s own home kitchen. For $109 apiece, diners can choose to go down an omnivore or vegetarian path with dishes like celery root with parmesan and puffed quinoa, and a buttermilk biscuit with koginut katsu, pimento cheese, and red pepper. The spot is BYOB, and you can buy a tamper-proof bag to bring any unfinished alcohol home." - Celina Colby
"A nearly ideal mix of a cool, casual vibe with high-end dining, Lenox Sophia is a favorite recently opened restaurant. The menu is a five-course prix-fixe affair, and for $99 you have the choice between omnivore and vegetarian. Make a reservation (or shoot your shot early on a weekday) for the chef’s counter and watch the chefs create your five-course French-inspired meal. Stop by Social Wines on the corner to pick out a bottle before heading over — this is one of the few BYOB restaurants in Boston." - Nathan Tavares

"A teacup-sized Southie destination offering a superb prix-fixe menu in an intimate setting; its BYOB policy keeps wine costs down while the focused tasting delivers high-quality, thoughtfully composed courses." - Erika Adams
