Nestled in a quiet JP neighborhood, Tres Gatos is a good place to enjoy tapas in a causal and relaxing atmosphere. It is housed in an old building, and the retro bookstore decorations set an uncomplicated setting that goes along well with the theme of the restaurant. On my recent visit, I got to try several pinchos and tapas, and most of the dishes were fairly good. I liked that they didn’t over-season their food, and seared sea scallops, Brussels sprouts, and chickpea fritters were some of the standouts. The playful integration of citrus in the Brussels sprouts was particularly enjoyable, and the Greek-inspired chickpea fritters were also very interesting. Paella was the least favorite part...
I rarely give 5 stars unless something keeps me coming back, so 4 it is. This place had succeed to hold a trendy vibe The street is quiet, you walk up, open the door and wow it 's a whole new market in there! when you walk in to this 1st level apartment like space, its homey and party like at the same time. I like that The theme is Tapas. Small plates, peculiar ingredient combinations like escargot on bone marrow spread on handmade toast should fit for an award. There are plates that I ask where is the pasta to these meatballs lol.. I love the presentation nonetheless. Appetizer is sampling of choice of 3, or 5, charcuterie boards chicken liver, and more.. Main dishes are also tapas. Small,...
Cozy restaurant with outside dining in summer time. I try to have dinner there whenever I am in Boston. I love combining the tapas like dishes. 2 3 per person is a good number depending on the dish itself. They have vegetarian and gluten free options (some of them with cross contamination but they will let you know! . Their beet salad is insane! Seem to have delicious meat options, too! Very good wine menu. Service is fast and very friendly. Walk in without reservation is encouraged, although especially in winter they are pretty busy and it might be hard to get a table in ?rush hour?.
Only a quick little meal of potatas bravas, tortilla (Spanish version) and shishito peppers but everything was excellent and made even more tasty by the aiolis, romesco or other dressings that they came with. Another stand-out was the ‘mocktail’ which was as sophisticated flavour-wise as an alcoholic one. I appreciated the refreshing white Spanish wine recommended by staff. Note that they have a strict policy of not seating you outside after 8:30pm. Inside was cozy and charming -a converted Victorian? With a big bay window, old wood floors, seating at the bar area.

The redeeming quality of this place is the people, not the food. We ordered a variety of dishes and every single one of them lacked flavor or even more basically-salt! The prices are high enough that one would expect some really solid food. Unfortunately that's not the case. The vibe is great and I could see why they are pulling in 4-5 stars because you want to believe. But this isn't a great place. Save yourself some money and go elsewhere.
Amazing experience! It helps to have good company! As the name suggests this is a tapas restaurant and so it's small plates so you definitely want to order a nice variety and we enjoyed our time along with several dishes and drinks. I would recommend this spot. It's not cheap but the experience is worth it.
Fantastic dinner. Everything on the menu is great even if you only know what half the ingredients are. You might not think lentils or prufrock are your thing, but they will be here. Wasn't a single disappointing plate. Cocktails were also top notch. Be ready to burn a hole in your pocket, though. Worth it.
This place is so cool and unique. I had some flavors and textures that I've never tasted before! Isak was our waiter and he was SO sweet and friendly and we really enjoyed how personable he was. Everything is presented so beautifully. This was a really cool experience.
