A mainstay on swanky Newbury Street since 1993, Sonsie serves a menu of top-notch internationally-inspired fare. Full of fresh flavors and brilliant food combinations, the menu is a mélange of signature dishes, seasonal delicacies and nightly specials.
Open seven days a week for breakfast lunch and dinner, Sonsie boasts beautiful French doors that transform its ground floor dining room into an open sidewalk cafe (when the weather permits, of course). The mahogany bar, with its friendly staff and stiff drinks, offers a welcome place to cool down during the summer or get cozy during the winter.
The downstairs Wine Room has an elegant old world feel - as well as a state of the art, temperature-controlled walk-in wine cellar. Available for private parties the Wine Room is also an ideal spot in which to enjoy a bite to eat and a glass of wine from the more than two hundred bottle-deep list.

A native Rhode Islander, chef Bill Poirier developed a keen interest in the culinary arts at a young age. Influenced by his Italian grandmother's holiday cooking and fresh vegetable garden, his passion for cooking increased over the years. Ultimately he continued to develop his culinary skills at Johnson & Wales University in Providence, RI.
Since 1976, Poirier has been working with some of New England's most prominent restaurants and culinary stars. Early career highlights include working as a variety of New England luxury hotels, as well as with nationally known chefs like Lydia Shire, Gordon Hamersley, and Jasper White. Poirier's culinary experience has brought him to Washington, D.C., Palm Beach, Florida, and Tokyo, Japan.
In 1993 Poirier opened Sonsie, an eclectic bistro on famed Newbury Street, with Patrick Lyons and Ed Sparks. Success was immediate, and Sonsie became Boston's culinary hot spot, as well as the see-and-be-seen restaurant, according to Boston Magazine. Nearly two decades later, Sonsie's creative, seasonal menu continues to achieve critical acclaim with Poirier at the helm.
Poirier has also acted as a consultant for the Good Life Restaurant in Boston and worked on numerous projects including Polcari's Restaurants, Game On Sports Bar at Fenway Park, Sonsie Restaurant in Atlantic City, and Rays New York Bagels. He continues to participate in various charitable benefits for the local community such as Boston Homeless, and the Dana Farber Cancer Center Foundation.
