About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Romantic
Owner Brian Piccini is proud of his award-winning Restaurant & Bar, Deuxave in the Back Bay. The inspiration behind the restaurant’s American Nouveau Cuisine is seasonality, with a focus on working with the finest farms and purveyors, sourcing out the freshest, local ingredients and amplifying their magnificence. The cuisine is strongly rooted in the nouvelle techniques of contemporary French cuisine, married with the splendor of American ingredients in a refined, but casual setting. Deuxave’s (pronounced doo-ave) name plays homage to its location at the corners of Commonwealth Ave and Massachusetts Ave.

    Superb meal. Our waiter, David, was delightful - attentive, friendly and professional. The food was outstanding. The meal was ideally paced. Attention to detail is amazing - my husband is gluten free and every course was served with sensitivity to that. We will look forward to returning!

    My wife and I had a great dinner after watching the marathon all afternoon. We saw online that it was one of the best restaurants in Boston and it did not disappoint. Standouts were the lobster gnocchi, duck breast and onion soup. Also the servers being in suits adds a nice touch.

    Such an exceptional restaurant! The food is a flavor explosion. Thoughtfully developed menu selection and excellent service. We enjoyed the gem salad and beet salad. The brioche rolls are amazing. The crispy Duck and Halibut were so delicious. We come every time we’re in town.

    I had high hopes for Deuxave, especially after seeing their Easter menu, but my experience was a huge letdown due to the seating arrangement and the staff's attitude. The person who seated us was rude and unfriendly, making us feel unwelcome from the start. They sat us in the worst possible spot in the restaurant—cornered next to a wall where I couldn’t even move my arm without hitting it every time I needed to cut my food. There were other seats free, so why seat us in the worst spot? It made the entire meal uncomfortable and frustrating. The food was decent, especially the main course—I had the Spiced Long Island Duck Breast, which was flavorful and well-prepared. The service from the waitstaff was good, with attentive staff. But the initial interaction with the rude host and the seating issue completely overshadowed any positives. I couldn’t enjoy my meal properly because of how cramped and awkward it was. For a restaurant with a Forbes rating, I expected much better. 1 star for the terrible seating experience and poor first impression.

    George, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. As you might imagine, we are disappointed to see that you had a soiled experience with us from your seating within the restaurant. We always strive to fulfill guest requests, particularly in regards to seating. I am sorry to learn that we placed you in a table that was not your preference and that it resulted in nullifying the quality of the food and the rest of your experience. I'd really like to have the opportunity to host you again. Before your next visit, please reach out to me directly at justin@deuxave so that I may make arrangements. I look forward to hearing from you. All the best, Justin & the Team at Deuxave

    Over time we try to get to all the best reviewed restaurants in Boston. Finally made it here for the Easter prix fixe; it did not disappoint. We had a great table for two with nice high back chairs. Leidy took care of us and she had just the right level of touch and interaction throughout the meal. The wine list is good, heavy on France, but a lot of good bottles. The dishes including the lobster fricassee and duck were perfect. Overall, a pleasant evening.

    No miss restaurant experience. If you can’t or don’t want to risk picking a so so restaurant this is your place. Check’s all the boxes. Even having some value items on the menu. Generous appetizer portions and dinner portions allowing for meal sharing if you are inclined.

    Duck leg confit was perfectly cooked. Lobster gnocchi was tender but had a bit too much acid for my taste. Arctic char was advertised as medium rare but ended up being medium (I did enjoy the fava beans.)

    10/10 experience. From being greeted by a host with a warm smile, to our server Trevor making the best suggestions, and to the FOOD being the star of the show. I asked them to make a specialty cocktail and it was so good even though i asked for something a little different than the norm. For food we had the salad, and duck confit to start. Hands down best duck I’ve ever had we cleaned the plate. Next for main dishes we both split the organic chicken and seared duck breast. The duck breast had so many layers of flavor it melted in your mouth and the chicken had a subtle tenderness even i was shocked at. We wrapped up with a salted caramel tart suggested by Trevor and even though we were so stuffed we cleared 93% of the plate. I was nervous this would be just another expensive restaurant that wasn’t worth it, safe to say this is in the top 3 for me here in Boston. I will be returning. 27 dollars for valet but in Boston it was nice not to handle parking. I highly recommend this place for both a night with friends or a romantic date. A really huge shoutout to the chefs in the kitchen for creating art on the plates and another to our server Trevor who really made the night with his kindness, menu knowledge and every suggestion. He knows his stuff.
