Best of Boston

2002 Best Back Bay Restaurant, Neighborhood

Geoffrey’s

Fans of this American bistro mourned the day when its owners moved from the original South End location. But Geoffrey’s new, larger location in the Back Bay (complete with an outdoor patio for enjoying the view along the Commonwealth Avenue Mall) has all the familiar elements of the old Geoffrey’s, from the dark red walls to such popular menu items as the seared ahi tuna and garlic mashed potatoes.
