Boston has an abundance of incredible restaurants so picking 10 favorites was a challenging task. While Boston is well-known for its fantastically fresh seafood, I also discovered some outstanding steakhouses that deliver some of the finest cuts of beef in town. Here are my top picks for the city’s best world-class dining:
At Artisan Bistro at the Ritz-Carlton Boston Common, Chef Andrew Yeo focuses on seafood dishes churning out plates like Georges Bank cod, seared diver scallops and his signature grilled oysters.
