I'm going to Boston soon, and would love some restaurant suggestions. Price does not matter, only great food does.

BabyDoll, have you checked the resources right here at Fodors? Or, how about www.citysearch.boston.com

Best of the best is L'Espalier. Note that "comfy jeans" are not acceptable.

Try Vinny Testa's on Boylston Street! Bring you appitite or a few friends. Meal sharing is a MUST and the wines are terrific. Then there is a surprise at the end of the meal!!! Hope you're lucky!

If you go to the cambridge area, try Elephant Walk (porter square) and Pho Pasteur - vietnamese food, very yummy (Harvard Square).

Also in Cambridge, try the Border Cafe -excellent Mexican food, but be prepared for to wait for a table. In Boston, Ciao Bella on Newbury Street has excelllent Italian food.

Any Legals Seafood; Fire and Ice (Boston and Harvard Square); No Name on the docks for seafood; Elephant Walk (Porter Sq and Brookline); Red Bones (BBQ Davis Sq, Somerville); Bay Tower room for romance and view of the harbor; Anything along Newbery St and in the North End; The Naked Fish (several locations).
Boston has many great restaurants of different ethnic origins and price ranges.
A lot depends on where you are at the time. many Boston restaurants do not take reservations so be prepared to wait (at the bar) or go before 6pm. The more "upscale" restaurants like Bay Tower Room will take rexervations.
Good luck

I have to add one more. Finale in the theatre distric behind Park Plaza. Sophisticated upscale open workspace.It is a late night desert place with exquisite, exotic deserts, coffees and wines. Also not cheap. Not your basic Ben and Jerrys.

Try Olive's in Charlestown. One of the city's best, and charlestown is a cute area to wander before or after dinner. Expect a wait. Drink a pint at the Warren Tavern nearby. About a $5 cab ride from downtown boston to Charlestown.

Go to Raidus, perfect for a special night out. Food is outstanding, one of the best meals you'll have while here. Very expensive, but worth it. Also, you might consider Hamersley's Bistro, Mistral, Casa Romero for Mexican, Grill 23 for great steaks, Pignoli for Italian, and Legal Seafood for fish, a must while here.

Lorri's on the right track except for Legal Seafoods--food is decent, but still a tourist trap. Been to several and can't stand the noise or the feeling you are being rushed. There are better places for seafood in Boston, I'm sure. Being from the North Shore I don't need to travel to Boston for good seafood, but others in this forum can give you other places to go in the city.
