Restaurants near Make Way For Ducklings Statue

Bistro du Midi is a wonderfully intimate restaurant with phenomenal food, drinks, and staff. We arrived on time for our reservation and were notified they were running behind but that they would collect us if we sat at the bar. The bartender was kind and attentive and as time passed, we were gently invited back to be seated and allowed time to finish our drinks. We ordered the Valentine’s Day menu, a choice selection through 5 courses. All of the options were phenomenal, we started with a small soup (tea cup sized) which we had anticipated for a larger tasting menu, but by course 3 we were hitting the wall! Portions were outstanding just small enough to be able to finish the next dish but large enough to feel very full by the end! We also ordered the cocktails oui chef, a lemon flavored cocktail and (please forgive me I forgot the name) a smoky combination of mezcal and cognac. Both of which were outstanding! Overall, we felt very satisfied! Being a big event for us we felt that the splurge was worth it, however, candidly it was a *very* large splurge so be prepared!

Once again, a lovely experience! Having not been to 75 Chestnut for some years, I was delighted to see that it was still as inviting as always. The service was attentive and the food delicious - the menu has both classics and newer offerings, with something for everyone. We were not rushed, which was nice since we ended up spending 2+ hours there! Price points are competitive and you really cannot go wrong here, particularly when looking for a cozy spot on a winter's night, with a beautiful neighborhood right outside the door.

We have heard about Contessa for well over a year and finally got there. It was worth the wait. Ride to the 17th floor of the Newbury and enter another world - one of tastefully sumptuous ambience with superb "welcome to Contessa" service and food to die for. The view is amazing, especially from the tables for two along the windows, but make no mistake, this is not a view restaurant. A little pricey, but fair value, and the food is so delicious that we were sorry when each course came to an end. Parking is a challenge (other than an expensive valet option) but in good weather, nearby garages are less than a 10 minute walk. Give it a try! We are sorry we waited so long to get here.

Yet again another amazing experience with fantastic food and service. Love this place will continue to keep coming back

We came for a late lunch, restaurant in a lull of activity, so we were comfortable taking our time, enjoying the quiet, never felt rushed,. A really epic 2 and 1/2 hour lunch. Wait staff was superb. Food was top notch!
