    Fantastic meal and service today at Aquitaine in Chesnut Hill. The escargot was amazing to say the least. The Duck L’Orange was beyond exceptional as well. Everything was super and I can happily recommend this restaurant!

    Best burger in Boston. Hands down...Sorry Craigie on Main! It really is... Plus, they recently had a major renovation. Even more elegant than before. You feel as though you’ve traveled on a 6 hour flight across the Atlantic and landed in an upscale Parisian bistro. What are you waiting for? Just book a table. You will not be disappointed. And, your tastebuds will thank you. Oh, and don’t pay attention to the rating here. It is much better than that.

    I’ve been going to the one on Tremont St for years and was excited when they opened this one. It has more seating and even though we came for Sunday brunch, it wasn’t packed which was nice. Service was prompt and courteous and food was delicious! Ordered the special for the day, which was the frittata, even though I usually get the smoked salmon benedict, which I also highly recommend. Doesn’t disappoint and will go back for more!
