This place is a hidden gem. Went here with a large group of colleagues and clients and had a great experience. The service was very good, and everyone enjoyed their food. All of the dishes looked great. I would definitely go back.

I have been coming to Sintra for a few years now and can honestly say I have never had a bad meal or bad service. My favorite entrees are the Mediterranean bouillabaisse and seafood risotto although all the items are on the menu are delicious. The open kitchen makes for unique fine dining experience in the heart of Braintree. I... More

Last evening we went to Sintras to enjoy a relaxing dinner with friends. Unfortunately, that was not to be the case. From the moment our friends joined us, we were rushed. I would understand this if the restaurant was busy, but it was not. Our friends had barely sat down before the waitress asked us for our drink order. Although... More

Sintra is a small place in South Braintree square, but is huge in flavor and service. I have been here many times and have yet to have a less than stellar experience. The menu varies, there are specials and I love the wine list, which changes as well. I love to try new things and this is a great place... More

I visited from out of town. Dinner with a couple friends. Great food. I had a soft shell crab special. Fantastic. Good wine list.

did not quite live up to expectations - food was good, one appetizer we had was excellent, but i would say it was not worth the price. also, the restaurant was very smokey, my clothes and hair smelled when when we left and the smoke gave me a stuffy nose.

My husband and I have eaten here several times over the past four years. It was our date night restaurant before heading into Boston to see a play. At first, we were wild about this place and its food. The last three times over this last year have been a huge disappointment. First off, we were seated near a window... More

We did not have our coats off when the waitress asked if we would like a drink from the bar. I asked for a couple of minutes to look at the wine list. 5 minutes later, back again. She poured our wine and returned every 5 minutes for an order of appetizers, another glass of wine, questions about the menu.... More

Hard to believe a restarant of this quality exists in Braintree. Brian and his team are wonderful - food is terrific and always super hot (how do they do it???), service is great - always made to feel welcome. If available try the swordfish or short ribs, squash soup, blueberry cobbler.
