So sorry to hear that they are closing! Good food, great service, not pricey given the location and proximity to the Opera House and Symphony Hall.

The visit was our first to Uccello Lounge and will definitely not be our last! The service and food were outstanding. The hostess asked us what our performance time was as she seated us, so the staff knew what time window they had to accommodate us. Michael, our waiter, greeted us and was spectacular throughout our dinner. The food was prepared with elegance and tasted wonderful. All was done on time for our concert, and we were more than satisfied. The 3 options for each of the 3 courses seemed limited on initial consideration, but the quality and presentation of each option did away with any doubt of total enjoyment of the food. We will definitely return when next seasons performances begin again!

The food was excellent. The clam chowder was rich with clams and excellent flavor. The duck was super yummy and original- the glaze very flavorful and the vegetables really enhanced the flavor of the duck. The strawberry shortcake was great - real shortbread (not the cake you often get) with a nice twist - sesame seeds and whole wheat. Cocktails were excellent. Service was attentive and friendly, but maybe a little rushed. Location is great for the symphony. $100+tip per person icluding a cocktail and 1 generous glass of wine.

This was a fantastic choice before a show at the Symphony Hall--and would be great any other time as well. The set menu offers just three options per course, but everything we had was excellent: endive tempura was inventive, succulent and delicately crispy; duck with stone fruit was perfectly cooked, flavorful and balanced. The space is unfussy and open, and quiet enough to have a conversation in a normal tone of voice (a big plus in my book). And our server was delightful, very professional but also opinionated and friendly. Overall, dinner here was wonderful!

Great cocktails, like the pre fix menu and you can't get closer to Symphony/Opera events!
