Aceituna After Dark brings the delights of Lebanese cuisine to the next level. Known for our fast-casual shawarma counter and vibrant, quick bites, we’ve recently partnered with Chef Guara Pimenta (of Boston’s famed Ambrosia and Blue Ox) to elevate our offerings for a dinner pop up tasting menu. With fresh ingredients and flavorful recipes passed down through generations, Aceituna after Dark blends traditional dishes with a modern twist, delivering a dining experience that’s both unique and complex.
Our Newbury St bar and dining room set the stage for an intimate yet unpretentious experience in the heart of Boston.

    2nd weekend in operation. Great Mediterranean food and inspired balanced cocktails. Attentive staff. Cool little spot! Vesuvius cocktail was a star.

    Fantastic experience. I love Aceituna for casual lunch, so I was interested in trying this sit-down offering. The food is amazing. My friend and I both had the chicken as our main and split the Tuna Tartare to start. Both were really flavorful and fresh. I'd go back for the Tartare alone. We shared the chocolate cake at the end. We met the owners while we were there, who were incredibly friendly and gracious. The entire experience was welcoming. The space is on the smaller side with mostly bar seating (tables are all high-tops, as well). It's an intimate experience. I'm planning to go back and hope they keep this going! I have to comment that the prices are very reasonable, as well.

    Amazing!! What a great dining experience! I started with the their version of a Margarita called Vesuvius and it was great. I got grilled flatbread to start and it was perfect in taste and texture. 2nd app was lamb meat balls and they were SO good, and I enjoyed that with a glass of Mondavi Cabernet Oak Barrel aged. I’m Lebanese so I wanted to try their version of Sayyadiyeh which is a fish dish with delicious toppings. It was excellent. Chardonnay went perfectly with that. I did not expect this high level of food, drink, ambiance or service. I’m glad they’re doing it again because I want to try the other dishes.  Can't wait to go back!!

    I’ve been a fan of AG for a long time, so I was really excited to try this. I went with my husband and 2 friends and we did family style apps with individual entrees. For apps we got the hummus, tuna tartare, and spicy lamb meatballs. For entrees we got chicken maqluba x2, leg of lamb, and filet mignon with AG fries. Everything was INCREDIBLE!!! So fresh and such bright flavors. All the food I’ve loved my whole life but with an elevated twist. The ambiance was perfect for a date night. The drinks were amazing as well (definitely get the Cleve’s Idol cocktail!). Overall great experience and I hope this becomes a more regular thing!!

    Wow. I can’t say enough good things about this experience!! I hope they keep this pop-up for longer than a weekend because my meal was absolutely incredible. I got the lamb meatballs as an appetizer which had the most refreshing herb sauce at the bottom. I got the shrimp for dinner. Literally licked my plate clean and haven’t stopped thinking about it. And finished off the meal with the most amazing flourless chocolate cake. The service and ambiance was great. I am a regular at Aceituna for their fast-casual food so I was interested to see them do an elevated dinner experience, and I am soooo glad I went. I’m considering going back tomorrow!!!! Aceituna After Dark is one of my new favorite restaurants in Boston!
