Clio Boston

James Beard Foundation award-winning chef serves serious French food with all the fixins and flair. If you’re looking for a drink you’ll dream about, try the Enter the Dragon martini (oh. my. god.). The fancy spot is right in The Eliot Hotel and is attached to sister resto Uni, a sashimi bar.

Townsend's Boston

At Townsend’s, a contemporary American spot, the belief is that the food should match in caliber to beer and wine (amen to that). To wit: a huge international selection of the bubbly soda that makes you feel good (if you can’t pick, get the four-glass sampler) and fare like mussels, shepherd’s pie, and pork steak with sweet pea risotto to go with.
