I will be in Boston soon and would love some restaurant suggestions. Price does not matter only great food does.

I was just in Boston and had great meals at Olives and Fiore (it's in the north end). In the past I've enjoyed the Sail Loft, Biba, Giacomo's, Euno, the Grill Fish, Maurizio's and the Elephant Walk.

What type of food do you like? If you have not been before, you should go to the north end (it's the Italian section)for dinner, a walk and dessert at Mike's Pastry. Try the lobster tail(not really a lobster tail, just looks like one). Recently the 4 people in my party claimed it to be one of the best desserts they had ever had!

If you'll have a car, I highly recommend Lumiere in West Newton. Excellent French Bistro with a variety of choices (seafood, lamb, beef, chicken etc.). In Boston, I would recommend Biba (get the lobster pizza!) Aquitaine, Jae's (asian seafood), and Cafe Florentine (Italian). Have fun!

I agree with Aquitaine (French bistro), Lumiere (French too).

For high end - go to Hamersley's Bistro. For Italian - anywhere in the North End will do. For seafood - Grillfish or McCormmick & Schmicks.

I highly recommend L'Espalier. The restaurant was elegant, the service was great and the food was fabulous. If you order from the prix-fixe tasting menu you can also do a wine tasting to go along with the courses. It was pricey but definitely worth every penny for a truly wonderful dining experience.
As for Biba...it had been recommended in the guidebooks but we waited almost an hour for mediocre food.

The North End is wall to wall Italian restaurants, most good, some great. My favorite is Mauritzio's on Hanover St. For something really different try the Addis Red Sea Etheopean restaurant, which is a few blocks south of the Prudential Center. If you are inclined towards big steaks, try Morton's on Boyalston.

Just got back from Boston and can't stop thinking about the delicious meal the three of us had at the Florentine Cafe on Hanover Street. One of us ordered a Caprese Panini with prosciutto, and it was possibly the best panini I've ever tasted. Another of us ordered Pollo Fiorentino, which was pasta with chicken and artichokes in a sherry cream sauce. The chicken was fork tender, the pasta was al dente, and that sauce, WOW! I ordered a pepperoni pizzette (with onions). The crust was crisp, the pepperoni was tasty, and the flavor of the pizza was outstanding--as good as any I've had in Italy. The staff was attentive, professional and geez, if you want to see some handsome young men while you are dining, this is the place to be!

We also ate at the Oyster House, which I think is the oldest restaurant in the U.S. The building was really interesting, and I'm glad we were able to have a meal there to see it, but the food was only so so (fish and chips, crab cake trio, and clam chowder).
