Best of Boston

Chef Michael Leviton’s ode to fresh, light, locally sourced cuisine is an elegant yet casual boîte perfect for toasting birthdays and promotions, or even just a night away from the kids. The vaguely French menu focuses less on a specific style of cuisine than the food’s provenance, which translates to vibrant dishes like flaky Maine halibut served with roasted artichokes and a citrusy salsa verde, or juicy Crystal Valley roast chicken perfumed with preserved lemon and mint—the kind of fare that turns an ordinary day into a celebration.
