Chef Barbara Lynch's stellar cuisine draws plenty of well-deserved attention from its place in the shadow of the State House's golden dome. Settle into the plush but unpretentious dining room and indulge in pumpkin risotto with rare lamb or the memorably rich prune-stuffed gnocchi drizzled with bits of foie gras. The wine list bobs and weaves into new territory but is always well chosen and the savvy bartenders are of the classic ilk, so you'll find plenty of classics and very few cloying, dessertlike sips here.

On the short list of Boston's absolute best, a high end splurge with fine food, excellent service, and pleasantly understated decor. Very expensive, but worth it. Dress up and make reservations.

I want it to be No.9 Park. Exquisite food, brilliant service, a memorable evening and my first port of call on every visit to Boston in the future.

I recently dined at No. 9 Park, Radius, and Excelsior, all of which were very highly rated by you. The first two restauants were superb, both in the food and in the personel. Radius also had a very pleasing decor and ambiance. I was highly disappointed in Excelsior, both in food and service.
