Jeffrey Currier: Wonderful chef, wonderful bartender, wonderful waitress, wonderful owners. This place us new, and it's a hit!
Ali: Loved their foie gras, and onion soup. The selection of wines isn’t half bad either. Service is good. Kinda pricy though.
Gianna Nebbia: Not bad, not my favorite. Kinda simplistic which is fine but could use a little something extra.

Roy Wilsker: The food at Elephant Walk is delicious and the service was great.They even made my martini on the rocks perfectly - no mean feat.
Andrei Kun: Duck noodles and steak frites are the way to go
Al S: Excellent, inspired cuisine. The rouleaux are fantastic. Never had a bad meal here, the last location of what used to be a Boston chain. It’s expensive though.

Italian Restaurant · Roxbury · 14 tips and reviews
Angie: AMAZING. $35 Mangia Monday’s pasta special is incredible. Their tiramisu is to die for & everyone is so sweet!
Alexandre Guerreiro: The arancini is from another world, so good it is. Lobster pasta was very good as well. The Tiramisu is deconstructed, resulting in a dessert that is too different from the original for my taste.
Rebecca M: Basically, the gnocchi is worth a visit by itself.
Mayra: This place is beautiful, and the view of the Harbor is spectacular. It's right in the heart of the north end,no need to drive. Great walking distance to most arenas, tour attractions, and restaurants.
Scott Jaumot: A beautiful place to live and work
Jarrett Goetz: They have a good public valet parking garage.
Oz Lubling: This place has world class cheeses and lots of amazing goodies - rare chocolates, etc. Definitely worth a visit.

Revere Hotel Boston Common: A French Provencal bistro overlooking the Boston Public Garden, this restaurant found the ideal way to bring together the passion for ingredient-driven cuisine with a refined, classic technique.
Boston.com: Bistro du Midi is a Restaurant with a capital R. None of that upscale pub grub that’s been going around. No waiters who want to be your pal. Read more.
Boston Magazine: There are few restaurants in Boston our staffers recommend to friends more frequently than Provence-inspired Bistro du Midi. In its favor: location, vibe, versatility, and of course, the food. Read more.

Sunanda Nair: Excellent food and great service. The staff was friendly. Didn't have any food I didn't like. Highly recommend the boquerones. We had 3 ordered our table shared. Don't miss the Serrano ham either.
Megahn M: a smidge pricey, but sooo worth it.
Boston.com: It’s a record store! It’s a bookstore! It’s a tapas bar! Somehow these three concepts combine to make the ideal JP hangout. It might not work if the food weren’t great, but it is. Read more.
15. Franklin Cafe

278 Shawmut Ave (at Hanson St.), Boston, MA
American Restaurant · South End · 71 tips and reviews
Tommy Wiles: late night food - served until 1:00am. Steak Frites stays on the menu all the time (and there's a reason), but the rotating specials are the way to go! Try one and you won't be disappointed.
BostonTweet: The Franklin Cafe has O'Hara's Irish Stout on draft for $5 and they serve really good food until 1:30am. It honestly doesn't get any better than that.
Bravo: Thumping techno beats aside, the great comfort food draws chefs and restaurant crews post shift to grab real food late night. -Tania Peterson, Top Chef Just Desserts
