For our anniversary
tpau and I finally tried out Blue Ginger. They are, as we had been told, amazingly good. She had the shiitake and foie gras shumai, the butterfish, and the super-chocolatey cake; I had the seared tuna, the duck with peach, and the peach & cherry upside down cake. All were fabulous, though I was particularly pleasantly surprised by the upside down cake. I could have eaten far too much of it...

Date: 2005-08-26 04:07 am (UTC)Elephant Walk: good food, and the inside of the place on Beacon Street makes me feel like a Rajah in 19th century India. Very good wine list, but not so geared towards the wine experience.
Lumiere: styles itself as a French Bistro experience. Make that a very expensive French Bistro experience. Food and wine are great, but the place is too noisy.
Harvest: I like the price fixe menu with the wine flights, and in the summer time, the outdoor atrium.
Henrietta's Table: for strictly the food, my favorite in Boston. They rely heavily on local produce where possible. Another cavern of a room, which I think is a plus.
Trochet: run by wine snobs, for wine snobs. They gear the menu around what they're pouring that night, and you get to mix and match flights.
Helmond: decent Afgani cooking, and another very good wine selection.
The Blue Room: good food, terrible physical plant. Sit at the chef's table, if you conceivably can. But given the company you keep, you already know all that.
