Kyle Seaman: Some of the best PEI Mussels around, and you can't go wrong with the steak frite -- make sure you get this garlic aioli though.
BU Today: This South End bistro offers classic French cuisine in an intimate, cozy setting. Be sure to try the Soup a L'Oignon and the Croque Madame sandwich.
ZAGAT: At this “high-quality” French spot, the steak frites are a “must.”

Café · South End · 168 tips and reviews
Mandy Fatemi: Get the Parmesan fries and ask for BOTH the garlic aioli and chipotle sauce!
Tricia: Corner bakery and sandwich shop that has irresistible delicacies and service with a smile. Veggie options, artisan coffee, and cupcakes to die for- a must while in South End.
Fido Loves: Owned by dog people and frequented by people with dogs. Look for the neat little hook for leashes just to the left of the door as you walk in. I love the turkey club....
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.

Mike V: Beautiful 5 star hotel situated on Boston Harbor. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Stay here!
Wiebe Mokken: Try the Eggs Benedict. Do. They are delicious.
Curbed: The 256-room, five-star hotel helped change the whole area, though it still has the feel of being out there on the water’s edge in the best and worst senses (i.e. fabulous views, but isolated). Read more.
Camilo Maldonado Matiz: Killer turkey melt. Tomato bisque side is the way to go.
BostonTweet: The Corner Tavern has 1/2 priced sandwiches for lunch M-F from 11:30am until 3pm and 1/2 price entrees on Wednesday nights from 6pm until midnight.
Kristen Lally: Probably my favorite bar in Boston! The staff, food, and beer are always top notch. A must go for all around the area.

Boston.com: Devra First recommends: Crab cake, 100-day aged rib eye, Kobe cap steak, Maine lobster, mac and cheese, coconut cake (a towering slice, with moist, fragrant, almost macaroon-like layers) Read more.
Boston Magazine: Like most steakhouses, Grill 23 is full of mahogany, martinis, and expensive suits. Unlike at most steakhouses, the food is actually worth the ridiculous prices. Read more.
Christine: Excellent service, excellent food. Oysters, New England clam chowder, 100-day aged ribeye, English peas ... all were liked by our crowd. 2nd time here and will be back.
