Last night I went to Bootleg Special located on 400 Tremont St, Boston, MA📍 This restaurant specializes in fresh seafood 🦪 🦑 🦐 🦞 🦀 boils, an assortment of sharable plates and fantastic cocktails.

For cocktails we had their Rosalita, Pineapple Express, Birds of Paradise and Soju Ranger.

For food we tried their garlic noodles🍜 with shrimp, street corn🌽, octopus, thai basil fries🍟, cajun fried rice, squid ink fried rice, beef birria baos, and for dessert their beignets.

My favorites were the Soju Ranger cocktail (was a cool pink color had Titos, Dragonfruit, Lime and had a hint of rosemary!) Also, the squid ink and cajun fried rice were phenomenal. These rices were both so rich in flavor and had so much to offer! The beignets were also a New Orleans classic and made you feel like you traveled there from Boston.

This restaurant is definitely the place to come with a group of friends who like to share food with one another. A plus is that the place is visually stunning! Chandeliers and beautiful art galore.

I highly recommend booking a reservation here if you are celebrating a friend’s birthday 🎂 or just want to be transported to the French Quarter district of New Orleans.
