Best of Boston
2004 Best Romantic Restaurant, West
Le Soir Bistro
This elegant boîte radiates such warm, intimate energy that if you’re not in love by the time you’ve chosen an appetizer (lobster and fennel profiteroles, perhaps?), you’ll surely swoon when the server brings the entrée. By dessert (the lusciously generous fruit cobbler), there had better be a diamond ring. The attentive, informed service and Le Soir’s Solid wine list—half France, half California—help keep the romance flowing all night long.
