Top Restaurants in Boston

"Food! Glorious Food!" Sang the adorable little orphan Oliver. Who knew that he was day-dreaming of Boston, Massachusetts? If there is one word that describes the food options available in Boston, it’s this: superabundant. You'll find several versions of traditional Irish favorites, mouth-watering steaks, European, American and Asian foods as well as fusions of all the aforementioned eats. Fine dining is available to suit your budget, or to impress a potential business client. In essence, Boston offers some of the world's finest places to eat.

A Few of Boston's Top Restaurants

Blue Ginger

I must admit that I am slightly biased towards any establishment under the direction of master chef Ming Tsai. Blue Ginger opened in 1998 to rave reviews, and helped launched the "rock star" persona of Chef Tsai. It is just another fine example of his East meets West fusion. I you have a desire to partake, you must make your reservation in a timely fashion -- Boston restaurants don't get more popular than Blue Ginger.

Red Sky

Located near Boston's famous Faneuil Hall, Red Sky offers a contemporary menu that touches lightly on foods from the North American, European and Asian continents. The ambiance and decor lend themselves perfectly to well-lit lunches and romantically lit dinners. Regardless of when you happen to stop by on your Boston travel, one thing remains constant, their prices are almost as impressive as their menu items and fantastic service.

Anthony's Pier 4

You wouldn't need more than one guess to know that Anthony's Pier 4 must be a Boston seafood favorite. There are few places in the world where you'll enjoy a better lobster. And if surf and turf is a phrase that immediately makes you begin to salivate, you can rest assured that Anthony's Pier 4 possesses the expertise in grilling a steak to perfection. If dinner doesn't interest you, simply stop by, enjoy the gorgeous view of the Boston Harbor and try one of the wine's from the award-winning wine list.

Upstairs on the Square

For those who love dining experiences that transcend the simple act of eating and drinking, Upstairs on the Square is a Boston favorite that is owned and operated by two of Boston's loveliest ladies. It's a rare occasion if you visit the restaurant and are not greeted by one of the ladies at some point during your meal. Such personal contact and guest service is what sets this establishment apart from so many others. Oh! And the food, you ask? The food is the only thing more delicious than the interior design! Another of the many reasons to get out of your Boston hotel and see the sights of this great city.

Grill 23 & Bar

Another single reason to enjoy Boston's Back Bay, Grill 23 & Bar is simply one of the finest steakhouses in the U.S. It has been awarded top steakhouse honors time and time again, and with every steak, you may choose the perfect complimentary wine. Trust the fine service to help lead you to some wonderful dining combinations, and if beef isn't your favorite, the chef won't disappoint in preparing you another succulent selection.
