Rendezvous Boston

Make a date to meet at the yellow-walled restaurant where Mediterranean flavors and local, seasonal ingredients inspire the cuisine. The menu changes frequently but might feature small plates such as seared sea scallops with leeks and caviar beurre blanc and entrees like sauteed halibut with chanterelles, apples, and butternut squash or a homey roasted chicken.

T.W. Food Restaurant Boston

Inside an unassuming Cambridge brownstone, chef Tim Wiechmann crafts an exquisite changing menu of local and seasonal fare, like an amuse-bouche of thumb-size lobster rolls or tiny Big Ox Farm lettuces with rose-scented vinaigrette and citrus chips. Emphasizing biodynamic wines, house-made charcuterie, and sustainably raised meats, every meal is kind to both planet and palate.

51 Lincoln Boston

Former Met Club chef Jeff Fournier showcases his two talents: cooking and art (one on the plate, the other on the wall). He presents masterpieces like his pan-seared skirt steak, which is splashed with apple-garlic jam, blue potatoes, and arugula, while his brightly colored acrylic paintings and pencil sketches brighten the otherwise neutral room.
