The restaurant is located in the Fort Point neighborhood, an area known for its unique blend of historic brick buildings and sleek, futuristic design. This urban cityscape provides the perfect backdrop for the restaurant's modern interpretation of fine dining.
With its beautifully executed cuisine, unparalleled wine program, warm hospitality, and glamorous setting, the restaurant seeks to excite, inspire, and transport guests. The seasonally inspired menus are based on pristine ingredients and refined technique. The bar features expertly crafted cocktails and a comforting menu, while the wine list highlights small grower champagnes and rare vintages from lesser-known vineyards.
Since opening in 2010, the restaurant has received numerous accolades, including a 4-star review from The Boston Globe, recognition as one of Bon Appétit and Esquire magazines' best new restaurants in 2010, and a James Beard Foundation Award nomination in 2011 for Best New Restaurant. It also received the Best Newcomer, Best French, and Best Service distinctions in the Zagat Boston Restaurant Guide 2011-2012 and is Boston’s only Relais & Châteaux and Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star property. The chef is currently the only female in the United States to hold the distinguished title of Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux.
The restaurant boasts two private event spaces perfect for gathering with colleagues, friends, or family. The elegant Private Dining Room overlooking Congress Street seats up to 45, while the Chef’s Table, a room with panoramic views of the kitchen, seats up to 12.
The interior of the restaurant, designed by long-time collaborators Cheryl and Jeffrey Katz, reflects the chef's vision of fine dining: A marriage of luxury, whimsy, elegance, comfort, and surprise. Every element of the space, from the French linens to the Austrian wine glasses, has been thoughtfully selected to enhance the entire dining experience.
