Best

food was delicious and prices were fair. i would definitely recommend Dali to anyone looking for great tapas!

Worst

highly overpriced. What you get is not worth what you pay! For large groups, make sure you meet elsewhere in advance. They will not seat you even if one is missing from 20. prefer...

Great food, spotty service 10/19/2010

This is a great restaurant to dine at - but only when Mario, the proprietor is there. He makes the experience exquisite and special. I made the mistake of dining there last night (my 5th visit in 2 months) , when he was absent . We had the most unbelievably rude welcome from the one of the hostesses at the door. I was extremely embarrassed, as I had talked up Dali to everyone I was bringing and they were shocked. So before you go, make sure Mario is there!! more

Great Tapas 2/8/2010

Had a great time at Dali, really enjoyed the experience! Pros: Great atmosphere, great food! Cons: Kind of expensive! more

Roll Deep 1/5/2010

As an omnivore, I jump on any opportunity to eat rabbit, duck, lamb, pheasant, venison, lobster, and fried cheese all in the same meal. Especially when it's all delicious, and making a parade of flesh and bone and sauce and grease around a table with ten happy friends. more

Octopus incident!! 3/15/2009

I was not quite sure if I should write this review since I see EVERYONE in City Search loves this restaurant. But, I decided to let people know about my recent dinner experience in Dali. Pros: Romantic atmosphere Cons: Octopus Vinagrette more

Don't Miss Out on the Experience! 1/16/2009

Whether eating at the bar or one of the dining rooms, Dali is always a wonderful experience. From the moment you walk in the door the authentic Spanish music and decor will captivate your eyes, while the succulent aroma tantalizes your senses. Highly recommended: the stuffed squid in its own ink, Lobster/Crab ravioli, broiled herb and garlic quail, and of course.... the Sangria! Plan to wait for a table on a Friday or Saturday night but be assured the wait is worth it! The atmosphere is very comfortable and the staff is always friendly and comedic. So don't be shy, go alone and start up a conversation with the staff or enjoy the eclectic experience with a group of friends! more

Authentic Tapas 12/9/2008

If you want to experience authentic Spanish cuisine in a quaint, unpretenscious setting, Dali is the setting for you. The trick is you need a reservation. We showed up when they opened, reservation in hand, and there was a line already forming 20 deep. Some of my favorites include: Pros: Great service. Wide variety of hot and cold tapas. Cons: Reservations are a must. more

Awesome Atmosphere, but too loud to enjoy dinner and $$$$ 5/12/2008

I really enjoyed the romantic atmosphere, it is def. a place to go to if you are looking for a different place than the same old restaurants you always find yourself going to. My only problem with it was that we were put in the back room, which wasn't as romantic and it was where they put all the large parties...........even though we were only two people. It was loud, too loud to hold a conversation. So if you have a large party maybe you would like it. However I'm sure you could request a different table. As for the food, it was good, not great. For the money I would have hoped that it would have been a little better. The drinks were not my style, and the selection was a bit limited. With all that being said, I would possibly go again to get something small and a beer.........but not dinner. And on a last note, the service was exceptional, it was one of the best parts of the experience. Pros: Ambience, Romantic, Different Cons: Limited Menu, Watch out for large parties more

excellent all around 4/15/2008

the most accommodating hostess and bar staff. so good you don't even need to move to a table for your meal. have it right up there at the bar. highly recommend not missing this place. more

My Favorite! 2/18/2008

This is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Boston area. The food and drink and wonderful, the atmosphere is festive, and the servers always put a smile on my face. If you have never been to Dali, you must go now! My favorite dishes are the saffron battered shrimp and the pork tenderloin under the hot tapas section. Yummy!!!! Pros: Everything here is a pro. Cons: The wait for a table on a Friday or Saturday night can be long, as they don't take reservations for seatings after 6pm. more

Great place with a character! 2/5/2008

This place is very romantic, but in a loud and upbeat kind of way! Pros: Great food and atmosphere! Cons: none! more
