Where is the Best Wine List in Boston, Massachusetts?
Zebra’s is a great place to go for either a romantic night out or to celebrate with friends or family. There is a nice lounge area with comfy chairs and attentive cocktail waitresses at you walk in, and I often show up an hour or so before I plan to eat to just ahng out and have a drink with my friends. The dining area is small, but very comfy and the art on the walls creates a fun, eclectic but classy ambiance. The service has always been outstanding, and I believe many of the staff have worked there for quite a while (in fact, I have had the same server ot my table each of the last 2-3 times my family has eaten there during the Christmas season). The food is prepared superbly (medium actually has some pink still showing, medium-rare is not charred, etc) and I have always enjoyed the variety of ingredients found in their various dishes. Additionally, there is a sushi bar available, but I have not tried it to-date. Overall, this is a great restaurant, in the mold of those in Bo
Elegant and muted decor. Service is friendly yet reserved. There are 3 fixed price menus — least ($82) permits choices for three courses with listed menu items; middle ($110) is 6 listed courses; and most ($185) is Chef’s choice — plan to spend the evening. We picked middle — very indulgent menu with lobster, foie gras, fish, beef tenderloin, cheese…
My husband and I decided to give this place a shot a little over a month ago and had a wonderful experience. The fondues were excellent. We had the dinner for 2 and it was the perfect amount of food. This comes with a cheese fondue as a starter, an oil fondue with a selection of meats, and a chocolate fondue for desert. They have a very extensive wine list and the wait staff was very helpful and attentive. We had reservations for a Saturday night and were seated immediately. The place is very small and cozy, think European. If you are used to large tables and lots of extra room, this is not the restaurant for you. We overheard two women complaining about the table size and asking why they were being served raw meat. Hello…..do you know what fondue is? Yes, you cook your own food. They prepare it, but you cook it to your liking. It really makes dinner an event. We will definitely return to this place.Pros + Fun and RomanticCons – I wish they had given us more fruit
Grill 23 is a great restaurant for a special occasion or a guys/girls night out. The meat is very good and the appetizers are quite niece too. If you don’t like steak, try the yellow-tail entree. This Sushi-grade dish is a fantastic alternative to red meat. There is an impressive wine list and some interesting cocktails to choose from. Or, if you want to keep it simple there are plenty of beers for about $5. All together this is a nice alternative to S&W or Davios if you are looking for a new steak house. However, on balance, we prefer Davios.Pros + Entrees and apps are greatCons – Sides are nothing to write about.
