Esmai’s

This is a hidden gem of Coolidge Corner/Brookline.
The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable.
The menu is tastefully done, focusing on doing things delicious, not offering everything under the sun.
The menu has something for everyone, beef, chicken, seafood and vegan.
I had the lemongrass chicken skewers and they were outstanding! The craft cocktail, also a rec’d of my server, was outstanding: Spice Cooler, rum based with a really beautiful pineapple mint.
Definitely coming here again!

Wonderful, eclectic, and creative food and drinks! A delightful set of familiar French, British, and Vietnamese, but all with a bit of a twist.
They have different menu items for lunch, dinner, and weekends, so it is worth checking out multiple times.
We were very impressed with the Imaginative dishes with excellent presentation and flavor.
Staff are super friendly.
We highly recommend the bao, bone marrow bahn mi, beef wellington, and even the fries were excellent! For the (sweet) coffee lover, the egg coffee is a must try.
Can't wait to try out the other menus! Lunch menu has amazing butter egg on fluffy milk bread sandwiches!

This place was vibin’! Right across the street from one of my favorite Trader Joe’s.
I usually think deconstructed dishes are pretty overrated, but I have to say their deconstructed banh mi with bone marrow is one to bet on ✅ I’m a sucker for the low light, chic ambiance with plush chairs.
Drinks are also pretty stellar as advertised.
Will definitely come back for more of their food menu!
