Description:
WATERFRONT. This contemporary waterfront space is led by the legendary Daniel Bruce, long-time chef of the Boston Harbor Hotel's Wine Festival. His courteous, well-educated staff makes earnest suggestions on everything from appetizers to selections from the wine list. The menu itself has been constructed with wine pairings in mind. On the one hand are "light whites" like pan-seared diver scallops with macomber turnip purée, and on the other are "spicy, earthy reds" like roast squab rubbed with cardamom and cumin. All menu items are available as small or large plates so, for gourmands, Meritage is one of Boston's best steals. |

Description:
JAMAICA PLAIN. The "deal" at Ten Tables is comfortably simplistic: When you leave this warm eatery, it's the owner Krista Kranyak's sincerest wish that you do so feeling like you've had a great meal at your best friend's home. Such is the atmosphere Kranyak and crew create at their Jamaica Plain gem and, boy, did they ever get it right! Start off things with an appetizer of roasted mushroom soup. Follow that up with the always delightful pasta-of-the-day or, should you wish, something along the lines of roasted duck braised greens or sage gnocchi with pork ragu. Chances are good you'll quickly see what all the hoopla is about. |
