Tres Gatos - Jamaica Plain

For my birthday dinner this year, my boyfriend made a reservation at Tres Gatos to celebrate. I had never been, but have had it as a bucket list place for many years and was excited to go. We were seated immediately, given a low table by the window which was perfect, and our server came by immediately with water and menus. We settled on a small paella and three tapas items (asparagus, patatas and garlic shrimp) and ordered two surprise mocktails. The food was delicious, the asparagus came in a sauce I couldn’t stop eating and the paella was beautifully presented and so tasty we ate every morsel! However, the star of the night was our server Cameron. He went above and beyond making my night feel special and celebratory, even making sure I had a candle to make a wish upon. Regardless of the food, we will definitely frequent Tres Gatos because of Cameron!! It takes a very special person to create an atmosphere where customers feel welcomed, seen and genuinely celebrated. Thank you, Cameron, for making my birthday this year so special!!!

The place is cool. I will be going back. They serve food, drinks and in the back sell books and music. The service is great; five stars. While the tables do have pre-service setup (appetizer/bread plates) w/ utensils and glass for water… I was only served the later (water). I order the mussel dish; mussels were good, the broth was good too/salty but good. Drink was nice. Atmosphere is cool. Outdoor patio is nice. There is one in front and if your lucky or not depending on your perspective, is shaded and other tables are not. There is also patio (outdoor seating) is also on the side of the business as well. There is also a side entrance to where the books and music is sold. Still a lil type unclear of the purpose of the appetizer/bread plate. It is a cute little place and this the menu reflect this; the dishes are are few but do vary with cheese option appetizers, and a few others, entree and drink menu. Worth checking out inspire of some of the limitations menu-wise but still nice spot.

Great little gem Lovely service and delicious tapas The record shop in the back is fun!

Oh my gosh the food here was delicious! This is in my top 3 favorite tapas places I’ve eaten at in Boston. I loved the decor inside, small but a really fun atmosphere. The tortilla Española was my absolute favorite and the roasted beet salad is a must! All of the drinks were delicious and the smoked fruit in them made them a little extra special. The book and record store was great to browse before/after the meal. I definitely recommend making a reservation or showing up early to make sure you can get a table outside!

Amazing! Been here a few times and it never fails to disappoint. They allow walk ins but the place fills up pretty quickly so a reservation is recommended. The bone marrow was probably my favorite dish but the shishito peppers are a must try too. Great service and environment
