Back Bay Social Menu

Back Bay Social Restaurant Review:

Swank, "Mad Men"-style Back Bay Social is located in the former Vinny T's space on Boylston Street. Gone are the red and white tablecloths; in their stead are plush red booths. Starters feature fried oysters with crispy cornmeal, duck pierogi, a cheese board and "meat candy" (kielbasa with brown sugar and pineapple). For dinner, we recommend The Social Burger, a juicy patty made with dry-aged prime rib, short rib and skirt steak, topped with aged cheddar and served with a side of golden fries. It comes with a high sticker price but is worth every dime. Other mains include toasted gnocchi, shrimp and grits, and steak frites. "Jumbo" carrot cake is generous enough to be shared among four guests. There's a vibe-y patio for after-work schmoozing with a fruity fusion cocktail like the Cranberry Rosemary Smash.
